The BMW R nineT is a bare motorcycle from the vehicle manufacturer BMW . The naked bike with the English sales name nineT [ ˈnaɪnti ] was presented on October 16, 2013 on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the motorcycle division in the BMW Museum in Munich. The final assembly of the motorcycle is carried out at the BMW plant in Berlin in Spandau . Production started on December 4, 2013 and sales started on March 8, 2014. BMW categorizes and markets the motorcycle as a roadster . The internal model code is K21.
Conception
Development began in 2008 with the presentation of the Lo Rider study , which, based on the HP2 Megamoto, combined modern lines with stylistic elements from the 1920s and 30s. At the intervention of Harley-Davidson , the study was renamed Custom Concept to avoid confusion with the Dyna Low Rider . Based on a concept that was presented as Concept Ninety at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in May 2013 , it largely corresponds technically to the naked bike BMW R 1200 R (K27). Unlike this one, however, it has an upside-down fork instead of a Telelever , radially bolted brake calipers and a four-part frame construction. Other high-quality individual parts such as forged fender struts, special rear silencers and a changeable rear frame make it practically a cafe racer available ex works .
The responsible BMW vehicle designer Ola Stenegärd describes the underlying concept as follows: “Many motorcycles today are true high-tech bikes, equipped with the latest technical gimmicks. However, some motorcyclists simply feel overwhelmed by so many switches and buttons. It is often almost the case that you first have to study an instruction manual before you understand all the functions. Many customers just want a simple, easy-going bike. Sit down and drive off. Not fast, just relaxed cruising. ”BMW chief designer Edgar Heinrich describes the motorcycle as a“ modern interpretation of a classic concept ”. According to Roland Brown in The Daily Telegraph , the timing of BMW is favorable because the “air-cooled boxer two-cylinder from the German company from the 1970s and 1980s are popular with custom bike retrofitters ” and the “R nineT is a little bit of this handmade retro Bring an image into the sales area ”. According to BMW, the development time from the concept to series production took two and a half years.
construction
drive
The air- and oil-cooled two - cylinder engine was adopted almost unchanged from the R 1200 R and generates a nominal output of 81 kW (110 hp). The boxer engine has a displacement of 1170 cm³, which it receives from a bore of 101 mm, a stroke of 73 mm and a compression of 12.0: 1. The valves of the four-stroke engine are controlled via fixed-speed rocker arms from two chain-driven, overhead camshafts . The crank pin offset of the two opposing pistons is 180 °. A central balancer shaft compensates for first-order moments of inertia that lead to engine vibrations and result from the lateral displacement of the cylinders.
The motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 220 km / h.
landing gear
The four-part steel tubular space frame consists of a front and three-part rear frame with a load-bearing motor-gear unit. The basic construction of the frame is based on a frame front part with an integrated control head and a frame rear part with a swing arm mount. With the modular frame concept, the pillion footrest system and the eight-fold screwed frame end piece can be dismantled and replaced. The wheelbase is 1476 mm, the caster 102.5 mm and the steering head angle 64.5 degrees.
The gold-colored anodized upside-down fork on the front axle comes from the superbike BMW S 1000 RR and has a steering damper . The rear axle is guided by a single-sided swing arm made of cast aluminum with a central spring strut, the Paralever . The chassis setting can be changed via spring preload and rebound damping on the rear axle.
The dog-shift gearbox has six gears with a shorter final drive ratio and comes from former Sports Boxer BMW R 1200 S . The deceleration is supported by a standard anti-lock braking system . The motorcycle has wire-spoke wheels at the front and rear with black anodized flat shoulder rims made of light metal, each 17 inches in diameter. The tires are 120/70 ZR 17 at the front and 180/55 ZR 17 at the rear.
Fuel supply
The 18 liter fuel tank is made of aluminum and has coated side supports to protect the tank paint. The manufacturer recommends using petrol with a knock resistance of at least 95 octane. The intake snorkel is hidden under an aluminum panel on the right-hand side of the vehicle. The exhaust aftertreatment is carried out by a regulated three-way catalytic converter and is below the emission limit values of the Euro-3 emissions standard . The exhaust gases are discharged via a central middle silencer and two rear silencers lying one above the other on the left-hand side.
Others
The instrument panel with two analogue round dials for the speedometer and tachometer and a central liquid crystal display corresponds to that of the R 1200 R . As a reminder of former BMW motorcycles, the headlights have a BMW symbol in the lamp holder. At the steering head an old-sounding is nameplate riveted what the "retro look" to enhance the motorcycle. The nameplate can no longer be found on the other models Pure, / 5, Racer, Scrambler , Urban GS . Initially, the motorcycle was only available in black, but now multi-color paintwork is also available (option 719).
Reviews
“More reminiscent of Harley or Triumph than BMW. But that's exactly what you want to achieve. Away from the disdainful Gore-Tex knight with flip-up helmet to the cool biker. "
“222 kilograms with a full aluminum tank and two-person bench, this comparatively low weight results from deliberately doing without: Upside-down telescopic fork instead of Telelever, simple Bosch ABS without integral function, no main stand, no side cases. And that's good. Because after all, the R nineT should not replace the R 1200 R - nor should it look like it. "
“At 222 kilos, it enables uncomplicated, sporty driving fun. She places her driver in a pack-the-bull-by-the-horn position on the wide handlebars. This improves the feeling for the front wheel and the steering characteristics. It arrows precisely and stably through the radii, easily controllable at any time, but it is not a paragon of handiness - but neither were the models of the Café Racer era. "
“The chassis of the R nineT is surprisingly hard, and there is not much of the 120 mm front and rear suspension travel to be felt. The seat also offers rather modest comfort, although it offers more support than expected, which is to be welcomed in view of the lack of a tank hump for support during radical braking maneuvers. The wide handlebars are less helpful than on an R 1200 R, with which the nineT has little in common, by the way. "
