Motorcycle specifications BMWR 1200 Nine-T 2015 Neo-retro boxer shorts
presentation of the R 1200 Nine-T 2015
this machine is sure to be one of BMW Motorrad's most emblematic creations. To celebrate its 90th anniversary in style, the Bavarian factory has treated itself to a pure creation, the R Nine T. More than just a roadster developed on the basis of the R 1200 R, it's almost the last field of honor of the air-cooled flat twin, the last blaze of glory before the fleet-cooled generation takes over. And such aplomb! Gone are the days when Behemoths would go rogue with such brazenness as the 1150 Rockster. Today, it's all about customization, wild dreams and a big, dry cake for the non-entuple anniversary.
the Nine T (pronounced naïne ti, like the number 90 chanted in English) is loaded with style, with a sporty front end, rims with 17-inch spoked wheels, a long fuel tank as if to lie on top of it, a very "old English" rear frame, and an old-fashioned double sport exhaust tailpipe. A café racer? No, not exactly: with flat-track handlebars and a focus on form before sportiness, the NineT is more akin to a Café-Roadster. A real treat for enthusiasts of the genre.
boxer je naquis, Boxer je demeure. A sort of homage to the R32 of 1923, this pleasurable machine tickles the fancy of the nostalgic as well as the lover of beauty, with the good old Boxer air/oil engine and its 110 horsepower. With just over 12 mkg of torque to lift it all, and watts flowing through the cardan shaft and Paralever assembly, the latter being perfectly clear here, we remain in the modern, technical world of the R 1200 R. The front end is more radical. It would be unthinkable to imagine the Telelever on a machine of this calibre... The NineT borrows its fork straight from the hypersport S 1000 RR, not to mention 4-piston radial calipers and 320 mm-diameter tracks. All this for 222 kilos on the scales and a dynamic balance that promises to be formidable.
with this Nine T, BMW takes customization a step further, as its neo-retro model is designed to be modular. The frame is designed in such a way that the user can unbolt the rear frame to install a short single-seater seat, a standard duo seat or a seat shell. Disappointing, however, is the presence of the original R 1200 R instrumentation - a specific, more vintage or more singular version would have better suited this characterful roadster. The Nine T's extensive options catalog will put your mind at rest.

comfort with heated wrists, it's true, but the rear suspension still needs to be perfected
saddle a little firm handlebars a little far away provide enough room to hang luggage
for long-distance riding !!!! Rating : 5/5 Respond to fi
i'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to wait until 10,000 rpm to get the thrills! Rating : 5/5 Respond to Réglisse
And yes, the old man is back on his old love, with all the technology and performance of today.
A fabulous machine of pure pleasure, especially in the Verdon gorges where it licks the asphalt like a queen. Rating : 5/5 Respond to chinoisvert317
2 other snags: the price (hot for a future retiree) and the color of the fork... Rating : 4/5 Respond to Interrogateur

I let myself be overtaken and rode right in front of the follower, savoring this choice morsel
Admittedly, it's a roadster, so it's hard above 130 km/hour, but the comfort, the lightness felt, the good braking with the abs allow me to think that, with a bit of practice, I'll be able to get the most out of it
think that with a bit of equipment
(fork head and Wünderlich casing protectors) and a net for my luggage, summer motorcycle camping in Europe, which I happily do with my 1200 GS, could be envisaged by shortening the stages a little. In short, I had a great time at the handlebars of this nice machine, with its flattering finish and noise, and very easy to ride. People in the villages we passed greeted this machine with unusually friendly reactions
I do have one criticism, however! The fork tubes are too golden for my taste. Grey or black would be more chic
It seems to me that I've tried the most accomplished neo-retro roadster on the market
I respect other manufacturers, but BMW's designers and engineers have done a good job, and I think with passion
Go and see it and try it before you say bad things about it. It deserves the respect of all those who designed, build and maintain it!
Drive with caution and circumspection

Like Jean, however, I have one minor complaint! The fork tubes are too golden for my taste. Grey or black would be perfect. Rating : 5/5 Participate in the conversation
I've waited a long time for this model, and I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about it. Yes, the bike is beautiful, with lots of quality parts and fine workmanship.... but certain details irritate me. First of all, I find it a little too "loaded" with frills. I'd have liked more simplicity and sobriety. Then there's the exhaust, whether it's the original or the Akra: it's nothing like the rest of the bike! Where are the two superposed horizontal pipes of the proto? Next, and this is the biggest complaint I have about this bike: the spoked rims are very pretty, but I've learned that they're tube tires !!!!! Who are we kidding? Tubeless tires were invented to put inner tubes in the closet (haaa, the pleasure of sudden punctures that send you to the ground almost every time....) and thus increase safety, and now what's going on? BMW, a brand that puts safety above all else, allows itself to give us inner tubes?
In short.... I'd like to try out this bike, but too many more or less annoying details mean that I probably won't be buying it!

If you recognize yourself in this comment, this bike is made for you. If not... well, you and I have something in common. Rating : 3/5 Respond to John Mesclon

my gs 1200 adventure overtook a lot of hyoer sports guys at the weekend..
if not, try an S1000RR and then you'll know what you're talking about

I've been seduced successively by the triumph classic, the commando se, the little continental GT royal enfield, but here, it's unbelievable, my favorite brand of which I'm very satisfied but which I find excessively austere is coming out with a machine worthy of a 70's café racer
With a helston's suit, davida helmet, aviator goggles and falcon half-boots, it will be possible to go back in time with elegance and celerity in a safe and reliable BMW environment
I give up smoking, drinking coffee, buying magazines and all that, and start saving money. There's no doubt about it, this is the neo-retro for me
Drive with caution and discernment
You'll save money and stay healthy
