Well, its often I loose my **** over a new bike but I am loving the styling of this Beemer. This bad boy is called the Nine T racer and is a 900cc air cooled twin as seen at the Intermot bike show read more here : http://www.cycleworld.com/2017-bmw-r-ninet-racer-is-thing-beauty#page-3 While it may not look it at first glance, the Racer is actually a stripped down version of the regular R nineT, as it loses some of the higher end parts used on the original roadster. The aluminium tank is swapped for a steel one, and conventional forks replace the original nineT's upside down ones. It also gets regular four-pot brake calipers instead of monobloc radially mounted ones. The upswept exhaust is all new, helping the Racer meet Euro4 emissions standards, and is paired with a new fuel map and new, larger catalytic converter, which will make for a reported 110 horsepower. ABS will come standard, with BMW's Automatic Stability Control traction control as an option. The big addition to the platform is the frame mounted half fairing, seat hump, rear sets, clip ons, and a vintage BMW Motosport paint scheme. Further style bits include fork bridges and rear sets made from forged, anodized aluminium.
When it comes to cafe racers there is nothing to compare with the Imola 200 winning race replica that came with an optional factory race kit. I present Bologna's finest, the 1974 'Green Frame'. In my humble opinion of course.
Every one should own at least one Ducati in their lifetime. Mine was a SL500 Pantah. Lovely bike, but I would not be able to sit on it now.
