BMW Motorrad India has launched the new BMW R nineT Racer in the country at the 2017 India Bike Week. The retro café racer motorcycle lets its customers relive the era of legendary superbikes of the 70s. The bike is brought to India via the CBU route and deliveries are expected to begin in December 2017.
The BMW R nineT Racer is unmistakeably a continuation of the BMW Motorrad motor sport legacy. It is a genuine single-seater motorcycle which was designed to take the racing line at speed. The bike features a half-shell fairing which offers effective protection from the wind and reminds of the legendary BMWs of the 1970s.
The distinctive tank and the seat shape give the bike a slim silhouette. It gets a low, sporty seating position thanks to the long wheelbase, far back footrests and the low-slung handlebars which are positioned far to the front. The bodywork in white paint clearly stands out against black mechanical parts. It also gets racing stripes in the BMW Motorsport colours which run from the front to the rear.
Power for the BMW R nineT Racer comes from the Euro-4 compliant 1170 cc air-cooled, two-cylinder boxer engine which churns out 110 PS of power and 116 Nm of torque. This motor is mated to a 6-speed gearbox which sends the power to the rear wheel via a shaft drive.
The café racer is equipped with ABS as standard and comes with optional ASC (automatic stability control) which prevents the rear wheel from spinning and ensures more efficient power transmission.

The custom range of optional equipment available from the factory contains, among other things two aluminium tanks and spoked wheels.
