BMW R ninet Racer S
The R ninet Racer shares the same oil/ air-cooled 1170cc flat twin, as used between 2004 and 2012 in the R1200GS and RT, with the other R ninets in the range — the Pure, Urban G/S, Scrambler and R ninet itself. They also share a near-identical steel-tube frame. All have slight variations in steering geometry according to different suspension and ride heights. The R ninet Racer has two variants, the base and the S. The S adds wire wheels, heated grips, a chrome exhaust and LED indicators over the base model, and costs £11,730 against £11,050. As with all R ninets, the extensive range of BMW’S Option 719 customising kits is available, with a huge list of milled and machined cosmetic extras.
