The new BMW R nineT Urban G/S has just been revealed in Milan. We have already shown you the Lac Rose prototype that the bike is based on, but we now have a confirmation that the bike will be in the German manufacturer’s range for 2017.
BMW also showed the new R nineT at the show. This is the latest incarnation of the roadster that was originally launched back in 2013.

The new R nineT Urban G/S is quite different from the base model, and BMW says that the R nineT Urban G/S draws on the genes of the very first and legendary BMW R 80 G/S of the year 1980, transporting them into the modern era with contemporary technology in the form of a classic enduro-style BMW motorcycle with boxer engine.
Both of the new BMW Heritage models feature the potent, air/oil-cooled boxer engine with a capacity of 1,170cc and an output of 110bhp combined with a 6-speed gearbox. The two variants are both designed to meet the requirements of the Euro 4 restrictions.
Here are all the photos in one neat slideshow:
The highlights of the new BMW R nineT and R nineT Urban G/S:
- Potent flat-twin boxer engine with a capacity of 1,170cc and an output of 81kW (110bhp) that meets EU4 requirements.
- Modular frame concepts with scope for customising, allowing individualisation according to personal taste.
- R nineT with new wired-spoke wheels.
- R nineT Urban G/S with light alloy cast wheels and 19-inch front wheel in enduro style.
- 320-millimetre twin disc brake at the front.
- ABS as standard.
- ASC (Automatic Stability Control) as an ex works option.
- 2-in-1 exhaust system.
- High-end details such as fork bridges made of forged aluminium with a clear anodised finish.
- R nineT in classic roadster design in Blackstorm metallic in conjunction with a black frame and drivetrain.
- R nineT Urban G/S in the enduro style of the first R 80 G/S dating back to the year 1980.
- R nineT Urban G/S in Lightwhite non-metallic combined with fuel tank decor in two blue tones with a bright red seat – echoing BMW Motorsport colours of past years.
