World Premier: BMW R NineT

Today BMW Motorrad officially unveiled a first look at the long-awaited BMW R NineT. Teased previously as the "Boxer" model, the R NineT is the culmination of BMW's year-long celebration of 90 years making motorcycles. At first glance, the R NineT looks like a special edition of the BMW R 1200 R naked roadster with a dash of "cafe racer" thrown in.

Renderings Surface of BMW\’s upcoming \”Boxer\” Model

Late last year at EICMA in Milan, BMW Motorrad announced their intention to introduce a \"Boxer\" model to celebrate 90 years of making motorcycles. At the time <a href=\"http://s3.bimmerfile.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/P901079041-e1363971701891.jpg\">this image</a> was all they were giving the world in terms of what to expect, but it didn\'t take a genius to predict that the \"Boxer\" would likely just be a more naked and more \"cafe\" version of BMW\'s R 1200 R roadster. Personally, I would have loved to see a new, midsize 800cc air-cooled boxer twin, but I didn\'t have very high hopes for that. Engine dreams aside, today the internet is abuzz with concept renderings of the \"Boxer\" model.
