BMW R 12 nine T Summary
BMW R 12 nine T is a cafe racer bike available in only 1 variant and 1 colour. The BMW R 12 nine T is powered by 1170cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 107.5 bhp and a torque of 115 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, BMW R 12 nine T comes up with anti-locking braking system. This R 12 nine T bike weighs 220 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 16 liters.
The BMW R 12 nine T is the newest offering from the German bike maker’s Heritage line-up. The R 12 nine T presents a new flavour of modern-retro motorcycle and what sets it apart from other such bikes is its Boxer engine.
The BMW R 12 nine T gets a unique appearance with the Boxer twin being the central part of the design. The design highlights include the large fuel tank, round LED headlight, and chunky USD forks. The triangular side panel and the curved rear fender adds a neat touch to its styling. BMW has given a lot of attention to detail, especially the dual exhaust pipes or the way the engine sticks out.
Powering the R 12 nine T is a 1,170cc, air and oil-cooled, Boxer-twin engine that produces 109bhp at 7,000rpm and a peak torque of 115Nm at 6,500rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox. The motor is known for its characterful nature and should offer a punchy midrange performance.
It gets a decent set of electronic rider aids such as dynamic traction control and three ride modes - Rain, Road, and Dynamic. You also get keyless ignition, LED lighting, USB charging port, and an electronic immobiliser. Moreover, the optional ‘Comfort Package’ gets you features such as Hill Start Control, cruise control, and heated grips.
Under the bodywork is a tubular steel bridge chassis suspended on USD front forks and a paralever swingarm with a directly linked monoshock at the rear. The R 12 nine T rides on 17-inch wire-spoke wheels, while braking duties are carried out by twin 310mm discs at the front and a single 265mm disc at the rear.

About BMW R12

Kush Yadav
Late last year, while the moto press was busy wetting its pants over the forthcoming R 1300 GS, the folks at Bayerische Motoren Werke quietly mentioned that they planned to change the name of the R nineT. That made sense, the R nineT had originally been rolled out as a celebration of BMW Motorrad’s 90th birthday ─ in 2014. One suspects the company didn’t expect the model to be as popular as it turned out to be. A decade later, the name doesn’t make sense; BMW is no longer celebrating its 90th birthday and previous R90 models ─ ie, the R90/6 and R90/S ─ had been powered by 900cc engines (well, 898 cc, to be precise), as opposed to the 1170cc twin driving the R nineT.So, BMW decided to put the bike’s name in line with the 1800cc R 18 cruiser, calling it the R 12. Except, they didn’t really do that. In what I assume was an attempt to avoid confusing R nineT fans, the bike formerly known as an R nineT became the “R 12 nineT.”Obviously.Meanwhile, at exactly the same time ─ as in, it was thrown into the same press release as the news about the renaming ─ BMW revealed that there would be a new bike, dubbed simply, the R 12.
