Overview
The BMW R nineT is a naked motorcycle produced from 2014 to 2015. The 2015 model has a 1,170 cm³ air- and oil-cooled boxer twin making 109 hp (81 kW) at 7,550 rpm and 119 Nm at 6,000 rpm; it weighs 222 kg wet and 208 kg dry.
Peak torque arrives at 6,000 rpm, while peak power comes at 7,550 rpm, so the engine’s strongest pull and highest output come at different engine speeds. The 784.8 mm seat height gives a useful measure of seat position, and the 18 L tank provides the fuel capacity for a ride. Shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, while ABS works with dual 320 mm front discs and a 265 mm rear disc to help control braking. The 222 kg wet weight can make tight, low-speed maneuvering more demanding.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft drive
It avoids the routine chain cleaning and adjustment required by chain final drive.
Strong peak torque
The 119 Nm peak at 6,000 rpm gives the engine substantial pulling force before its 7,550 rpm power peak.
ABS and dual front discs
ABS is paired with two 320 mm front brake discs for controlled braking.
Things to consider
Wet weight
At 222 kg wet, it can take more effort to maneuver at walking speed or move by hand.
