BMW R 12 nineT 2024

BMW R 12 nineT 2024

BMW has not only given the nineT model series an updated name and a polished design, but also a large chunk of versatility. It remains the characterful naked bike with a vibrant boxer engine, but can also offer significantly more riding pleasure thanks to the new ergonomics, adjustable suspension, better brakes and quickshifter for the first time. Looking good, relaxed cruising or pops through the twisties - the BMW R 12 nineT can do it all!

Great old-school boxer with now EU5+ homologation

First modern quickshifter for this engine

Top brakes

Very sensitive, fully adjustable chassis

Versatile ergonomics

Lots of cool accessory options Agile riding performance

Quickshifter very jerky when shifting up in some situations

Clutch requires a lot of manual force

Considerable price, especially with accessories
