Beemer"s sharp little roadster comes with the essentials, but little else to lớn clutter up the looks or showroom unnecessary weight. Beefy, inverted front forks boost the visual weight, yet even that is tempered somewhat by the cut-down front fender and minimal cyclops headlight can.
Up top, an updated instrument cluster rocks buffed-up electronics with expanded on-board computer software for this latest iteration. Short-rise bars encourage a forward-leaning posture over the long, 4.8-gallon fuel tank with jockey-mount footpegs to lớn complete the sporty rider"s triangle, và why not; the standard roadster is arguably the predecessor of the contemporary standard/naked sportbike.
Indentations at the rear of the tank make for a narrow waist where it meets the seat, and they pull your knees inboard & out of the slipstream while leaving room to throw your English around if you have the stones for it. The seat is almost a bench, but it carries a minimal amount of rise at the back of the pilot"s area, so it won"t provide much butt-retention action for you.
Since the subframe area is so sparse, it leaves the R nineT with an all-up-front look that leaves the rear wheel nowhere lớn hide, at least on the right side as the left side surrenders some visibility khổng lồ mufflers on the 2-into-1-into-2 exhaust system for yet another nod khổng lồ trackside fashion, as it were.
My preferred types of racing lớn watch are the kinds that use a one-design format lớn tests the riders exclusively và removes the mechanics/machines as a factor, & instead tests the riders exclusively. So, I"m was happy to see the new BMW Motorrad BoxerCup that kicked off at the ADAC Classic in Sachsenring, Germany. It featured up to lớn 30 modified but identical R nineT Racer models in an effort to revive some enthusiasm for the old-school boxer-racing class, and I, for one, definitely smell what Beemer"s cooking over there.
The factory supports the R nineT with what it calls a “modular steel tubular space frame” that runs with a removable subframe section as part of the configurable seating feature. As with its modern naked-sport counterparts, the R nineT relies on the strength of the engine case lớn replace the downtube & cradle sections of the frame to lớn keep things as light as possible. It seems like it paid off as the R nineT weighs in at only 485-pounds soaking wet.
Now, BMW is known for its, shall we say, non-mainstream suspension systems, và even though it sticks with common-enough inverted forks up front, the rear over is more typical of the brand. Beemer"s Paralever system springs off the single-side, cast-aluminum swingarm with the ubiquitous spring-preload adjustment alongside a variable rebound-damping feature. A phối of 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels come lined with a 120/70 tire up front và a 180/55 out back, & in case you"re wondering what kind of performance you can expect from it, the race-tire “ZR” rating should tell you what you need to know.
In addition lớn the potential for great speeds, the factory blessed it with a 26.8-degree steering head và 4.2 inches of trail that promise relative stability with an eagerness in the corners, plus a steering damper to absorb some of the kickback at the bar. A pair of four-pot calipers bite dual, 320 mm front discs khổng lồ provide the bulk of the stopping power nguồn with a twin-piston anchor & 265 milimet disc out back. BMW"s proprietary ABS represents the only safety equipment that comes with the stock package.

- Air-cooled 1,170 cc twin boxer engine- 110 horsepower & 86 lb-ft of torque- Automatic stability control
The boxer that adds so much to lớn the overall panache in the R nineT runs with 101 milimet bores & a 73 mm stroke for a total of 1,170 cc tucked away within the twin jugs. A DOHC thiết lập actuates the four valves in each head, & though the engine relies mainly on air cooling to eliminate the waste heat, it gets some backup from an oil-cooling system that protects the engine"s lifeblood and draws off even more BTUs.
The mill runs a counter-balancer to help mitigate some of the vibration to lớn give your hands & butt a break from the pins-and-needles. Dual throttle bodies meter the fuel, but there"s very little in the way of fandanglery as the only other electronic ride aid is Beemer"s Automatic Stability Control that was taken out of options for 2020 và added as standard equipment.

The power nguồn develops with a fairly linear progression to the tune of 110 horsepower at 7,750 rpm with 86 pounds o" grunt that maxes out at six grand và turns in speeds over 125 mph after the power nguồn filters through the six-speed tranny that rocks helical-cut gears for quiet power nguồn transfer. Fuel efficiency is fairly typical at 44 mpg, so it could certainly make a decent commuter, và it meets EU-4 emissions so you can use it anywhere in the U.S.

Ya know, the first bike I thought of when I saw the R nineT was Triumph"s new Thruxton RS, so that"s what I"m rolling with for the head-to-head.
Triumph Thruxton RS
The Trumpet"s lines and sheet metal is fairly comparable, and hits all the same high points from the long, knee-relief fuel tank back khổng lồ the tail cover though the rear-end comes off a bit more cluttered compared lớn the Beemer due to the fender style.
Fully adjustable suspension components support the Thruxton for an edge, and as I"m always fond of pointing out, the Thruxton"s throttle bodies are modeled khổng lồ look lượt thích those old mechanical-slide carbs, & that"s a historical cảm biến that really floats my boat. Triumph sticks khổng lồ a classic downtube/cradle frame, & I hardly notice the radiator that mounts right up front.
Looks come down lớn taste, but the engines are much easier to lớn qualify. Trumpet is found to lớn be wanting with its classic parallel-twin mill that churns out 103 horsepower và 83 pound-feet of torque against the Beemer"s 110/86. No, it"s not a big difference, but it"s a difference all the same. Point lớn BMW.
Both marques chuck on some advanced electronics such as traction control & riding modes lớn more or less break even on the tech front. Triumph lets loose of its Thruxton RS for $16,200 so it comes off looking kinda" proud against the $15,495 sticker on the R nineT.

He Said
“Personally, I think I prefer the Triumph in this particular instance, but I can"t say how much the aesthetics alone are affecting that assertion. One thing is for sure, the Thruxton is liable to appeal lớn the same sort of buyer, và both bring something to lớn the table. Since both tư vấn some pretty solid safety electronics & rock proven engines, the choice literally narrows down khổng lồ price và design taste.”
She Said
My wife and fellow motorcycle writer, Allyn Hinton, says, “It"s a little deceiving to gọi this the base model because it"s really the top of the range for the R nineT family. It"s surprisingly agile; I say “surprisingly” because it looks lượt thích it"ll be a bit hefty, but once it gets rolling, it"s nice to lớn handle.”
