BMW's new naked street cruiser was turning heads at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach.
(BMW / December 7, 2013)
Among the breakout hits at this year's Progressive International Motorcycle Show is BMW's new R nine T.
The twin-cooled,
urban-styled, naked street cruiser (don't get excited, that's actually
an industry term) is powered by the German company's 110-horsepower
Boxer engine. Sitting lower to the ground than any traditional BMW, the
retro-looking R nine T also features a shaft drive, 6-speed
transmission, lightweight all-aluminum fuel tank and the same braking
system as the S1000RR road racer. Fully fueled, it weighs 484 pounds --
substantially lighter than the R1200s it resembles.
