This is a 1 owner R NineT. H02 (blue planet metallic /aluminum) color. The bike has Spoked wheels, heated grips and ASC as options. The owner did relocate the license plate frame. BMW has milked all the good possible—and then some—from its signature air-cooled opposed twin over nearly a century of production. In R nineT guise, this constitutes a lean and mean 1,170cc streetfighter that’s low on accoutrements and high on usability. The fuel-injected 110-hp engine drives through a six-speed transmission and then through a shaft final drive bolted to a Paralever system that eliminates rear suspension jacking under throttle, a historic Achilles’ heel of shaft-drive bikes. The frame is tubular steel—a perfectly viable material still—and the handling is first rate: quick, neutral, and confidence inspiring. The long, thin, and flat seat suits riders of different sizes, a refreshing change from cruisers’ typical low-slung bucket seats.
