The BMW R nineT Racer is based on the standard R nineT but features a café racer design with a neo-retro aesthetic. The half-fairing mounted on the frame, which exposes the engine and integrates the round headlamp, clearly draws inspiration from 1970s motorsport bikes.
The R nineT Racer also gets a seat cowl, reminiscent of the early days of motorcycle racing. The low-slung handlebars and rear-set foot pegs give the bike a slightly aggressive riding position. To add to its vintage appeal, the R nineT Racer receives BMW Motorsport livery that extends from the fairing to the seat cowl. It also has a classic-looking twin pod analogue instrument console with small digital displays.

Description
The BMW R nineT is a retro roadster-styled standard motorcycle produced by BMW Motorrad since 2014 and marketed to enthusiasts and customers as a “blank canvas for customization.” The bike is powered by a 1.2L flat-twin producing 108 BHP and is named after the BMW R90S. The R nineT Racer is a version of the R nineT with a retro-styled “half shell” fairing reminiscent of racing bikes from the 1970s, with the tank and seat “shaping the slim silhouette” and a low-slung seating position. The R nineT Racer was introduced in 2017 but was phased out in 2019 due to poor sales.
