Mr. Vikram Pawah, President of BMW Group India, stated: "BMW Motorrad established the segment of classic bikes with the R nineT.
This particular segment invites purists riders who want to focus on the original, and at the same time enjoy dynamic riding. The all-new R 12 series takes this path of emotional, original motorcycle riding even further."
BMW R 12 NineT Technical Specifications
The new models are built on a versatile base featuring a one-piece tubular spaceframe. They include an airbox positioned flat under the seat and an angled spring strut for design freedom in seats and side lines.
The aluminium tank on the R 12 nineT has brushed side panels while the steel tank on the R 12 recalls the "Toaster Tanks" of the 1970s BMW /5 models.
The engines deliver robust performance; the R 12 nineT produces 80 kW (109 hp) at 7,000 rpm with a torque of 115 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The R 12 generates 70 kW (95 hp) at 6,500 rpm with a torque of 110 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Both models feature an air/oil-cooled boxer engine.
BMW R 12 NineT Safety and Comfort

The braking system comprises twin disc brakes on the front wheel with radially mounted four-piston monobloc brake callipers and a single disc brake on the rear wheel. ABS Pro is standard on both models for safer braking in bends.

The new Heritage models exhibit meticulous attention to detail in features like intricately designed front fender brackets or LED headlights with black-framed light guide elements on the R 12 nineT. The instrument panel integrates seamlessly into each model's overall style.
The centrepiece of these new models is their newly developed tubular bridge steel spaceframe which reduces weight by eliminating previous fastenings while providing a cleaner look. A bolted rear frame made from tubular steel complements this design.
