1,923 unit only BMW R nineT 100 Years now in the PH

BMW shows off R nineT 100 Years edition at the Makina Moto Show

Back in December of last year, BMW Motorrad announced the special R 18 and R nineT 100 Years edition. Both models will be limited to 1,923 units only, to commemorate the year when the first mass-production BMW motorcycle was produced: the R 32.

Today at the Makina Moto Show, it’s finally here in the flesh.

BMW R nineT 100 Years

The reduced design language of the R nineT is shaped by 100 years of motorcycle construction and BMW Motorrad's unbroken passion for the boxer engine. Classic roadster design skilfully sets the scene with a compact tank and upright seating position as well as high-quality materials and stylish design elements. The new R nineT 100 Years becomes an exclusive anniversary edition thanks to numerous other special features. The heart is still the air/oil-cooled, 80 kW (109 hp) two-cylinder boxer engine. In the anniversary edition, the legendary engine is accompanied by a wide range of options and an elaborate surface concept.

This special edition R nineT is also generously packed with Option 719 parts and chrome plating. The R nineT 100 Years also includes the 719 Classic wheels option with black anodized rim rings, the Option 719 Shadow milled parts package with milled cylinder head covers, engine housing covers, seat holders, oil filler plug and the Option 719 Shadow II milled parts package, consisting of adjustable hand levers and a footrest system, pillion footrests as well as expansion tank covers and handlebar end mirrors.

Adaptive turning light and the Comfort Package with heated grips, cruise control and Driving Modes Pro complete the extensive equipment of the edition model. An anti-theft alarm system can also be retrofitted as part of the optional equipment ex works or via the range of Original BMW Motorrad Accessories.

The BMW R nineT 100 Years will be sold at PHP 1,795,000.00. SMC Asia Car Distributors, being one of the biggest importers of BMW Motorcycles in the world, was given a huge 50 units allotment by BMW Motorrad in Germany.
