There is always something special about BMWiron horses that strike a chord with the urban, minimalist biker. Any hardcore Malaysian rider would've caught wind of the recently launched Motorrad specials, the new and updated R nineT range. The new R NineTs have been developed to embody all of BMW's 90 years of Motorrad, by summing up its illustrious past by deliberately focusing on the main essentials of a true iron horse. Here we glean through the overview of each variant.

Powered by the boxer engine from the engine to the rear wheel is further transmitted by means of a cardan shaft drive and a six-speed gearbox. In terms of new highlights, the new BMW R nineT features a new dual speed indicator and rational-speed sensor instrument with on-board computer.
Additionally, BMW Motorrad has extended the design program of its Original BMW Motorrad Accessories to include the "Machined" range of customising parts for the new BMW R nineT.

This variant costs RM 101,900.00.This motorcycle conveys a sense of old-school sporty aspiration with its strikingly short, frame-mounted half-fairing on the steering head, and combines this impression with some modern technology. The front view of the BMW R nineT Racer is especially slim and squat in style, determined by the classic-looking circular headlamp. The vintage-looking sports bike also has an on-board computer featured as standard, which provides a large and clear display on a segmented screen of the most important information such as time, active gear, remaining range, trip distance, service interval and average speed and fuel consumption. The stainless-steel exhaust system with rear silencer positioned on the left-hand side also reflects the style of a classic motorcycle, commonly seen in café racers and roasters of the 1960s and 1970s.
