TheBMW R nineT is astandardmotorcycle made byBMW Motorrad since 2014. It is a retro styled roadster marketed by BMW to custom builders and enthusiasts as a "blank canvas forcustomizing".[2][3][4]
All models haveanti-lock braking systems (ABS). Automatic stability control (ASC) is available as an option.
The BMW R nineT has several design elements configured to allow the bike to be easily modified, such as separateengine andchassiswiring harnesses and minimal bolts attaching the rear subframe, tail lights, and headlight.[5]
The R nineT version of the bike has upside-down (USD) telescopic forks rather than BMW's usualTelelever front suspension. The other versions have conventional telescopic forks.
All variations have an air/oil-cooledoilheadflat twin (or boxer) 1,170 cc (71 cu in) engine, which has the inlet manifold at the rear of the cylinders and the exhaust at the front.

In aThe Daily Telegraph review, Roland Brown said the R nineT is "not the bike for impecunious custom builders, but a retroroadster that combines heritage, good looks, high quality finish and entertaining performance in one cleverly integrated package, with potential for easy personalisation".[7]
AMotor Cycle News review says of the R nineT: "The build quality is superb and the attention to detail impeccable. It goes, stops and handles as well as the best roadsters out there, thanks to its modern chassis, suspension and braking components. But there’s a lovely twist with the old-school air-cooled Boxer engine".[8]
