Our take on this /// Verdict

The BMW R nineT Racer is a unique and captivating motorcycle that embodies the spirit of a classic café racer. While it may not be the most comfortable or practical bike for long distances, it excels in its intended role as a fun and agile ride for twisty roads. The 1170cc air-cooled boxer engine delivers a satisfying power output of 110PS and 116Nm of torque, making it a joy to ride, especially when youre carving through corners. However, the riding position is quite aggressive, which can be a significant drawback for some riders. The suspension, though basic and non-adjustable, still manages to handle the bikes dynamics well, although it may not be as refined as some of its competitors. Overall, if youre looking for a bike that combines retro aesthetics with modern performance and are willing to compromise on comfort, the R nineT Racer is an excellent choice.

Price

In India, the BMW R nineT Racer, although discontinued, was priced around 17.3 lakhs ex-showroom when it was available. On-road prices would have varied depending on the state and local taxes, but you could expect to add another 2-3 lakhs to the ex-showroom price. Given its niche appeal and the fact that its no longer in production, finding a new unit might be challenging, and prices for used models could fluctuate based on condition and mileage. If youre considering purchasing a used R nineT Racer, be prepared to negotiate and ensure a thorough inspection to justify the price.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 12:36 AM The mileage of the BMW R nineT Racer in India is not particularly stellar, which is typical for a performance-oriented motorcycle. With its 1170cc engine, you can expect an average fuel efficiency of around 15-20 kml, depending on your riding style and conditions. City riding tends to yield lower mileage, while highway cruising might see slightly better figures. Given the bikes design for spirited riding, its not meant for long-distance touring or fuel efficiency its about the joy of the ride rather than economical travel.
