BMW R nineT Lac Rose concept Photo Gallery

BMW recently unveiled the R nineT Lac Rose concept at the Wheels & Waves custom culture festival in France. A modern interpretation of previous generation endurance rally motorcycles, the Lac Rose concept pays homage to the 101 competition number BMW GS that won the Paris-Dakar rally in 1985. Check out the detailed photo gallery of the BMW R nineT Lac Rose concept -

The Lac Rose concept replicates the vibe of the old-school rally motorcycles, packaged in modern underpinnings.

The concept has been named after the rose-coloured Lake Retba in Senegal, which used to mark the end of the rally.

While the underpinnings have been carried over, the Lac Rose concept gets a host of GS-inspired styling revisions.

The windshield, headlamp, raised mudguard and short seat all hark back to the rugged Dakar racers of yesteryears.

The suspension travel has been significantly raised, and the motorcycle now rides on spoke wheels and button tyres.

Powering the Lac Rose concept is the same 1170cc air-cooled boxer engine, delivering 110bhp and 119Nm of torque.

However, BMW acknowledges that the Lac Rose concept is more of a laid back roadster than a hardcore off-road motorcycle.

We expect the Lac Rose concept to materialise into a production model, as a part of BMW’s upcoming Heritage range of modern classics.
