The R12 nineT is engineered to continue the legacy of its predecessor, the R nineT. With a 1,170cc air-cooled boxer twin engine, the upcoming model is expected to deliver 107 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 85 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,500 rpm. These performance metrics closely align with those of the previous model, indicating that BMW is committed to maintaining a successful formula. The design also pays tribute to iconic BMW motorcycles from the past, such as the R90S from the 1970s.

European A2 License Compliance:

For the European market, BMW will offer a version of the R12 nineT that complies with A2 license restrictions. This detuned model will produce 94 horsepower and can be further restricted to 47 horsepower for novice riders. Once they secure their full motorcycle licenses, the bike can be derestricted.

BMW is expected to release more details about the R12 nineT in the coming month. The motorcycle community is also buzzing with speculation about potential new variants of the R12 nineT, which could replace existing models like the Scrambler and Urban G/S.
