BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2020

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2020

As one of 5 different R nineTs, the Urban G/S is also a successful variation of the air-cooled boxer, which, as in the other models, produces 110 hp and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of more power. The brakes are also on the same high level as those of the original R nineT, only the chassis has to make concessions. ABS comes as standard, ASC at extra cost. You don't need much more to be happy. The only thing we wouldn't want to do without are the wire-spoke rims, because together with the TKC80 they complete the look.

terrific, authentic G/S look

powerful brakes, powerful engine

Enduro-typical reduced to the bare essentials

custom bike ex works

Wire-spoke rims not standard

ASC not standard

dirt and trouser paint visible on seat bench
