BMW launches R nineT Sport for £12,990 OTR

BMW launches R nineT Sport for £12,990 OTR.

It’s pretty much a dressed up R nineT that comes with a brushed aluminium tank and high-level Akrapovic sport silencer plus a few more bits and bobs from the after-market accessories.

The bike, called the R nineT Sport, is being launched on February 6, is a UK-only model and is going to cost £12,990 OTR.

That aluminium fuel tank is available in two versions: hand-brushed and gloss varnished but comes with visible or smoothed-out welding seams (both options are pictured below). There’s no pillion footrests or seat on this version of the big cafe racer but the bike does get heated grips and LED indicators as standard.

2016 BMW R nineT Sport highlights:

• Special hand-brushed, gloss-varnished aluminium fuel tank with smoothed welding seams (also available with visible seams for no extra money)

• Hand-brushed aluminium rear seat hump
• Heated grips
• On-board computer
• Daytime running light
