The R90 S was one of BMW's landmark motorcycles: a fast, sporting version of the traditional BMW boxer, with a small cockpit fairing and distinctive styling. BMW wanted the R nineT Racer to evoke that period — 1970s BMW racing and café-racer culture, rather than simply produce another modern sports bike
Announced in October 2016, alongside the R nineT Pure, the R nineT Racer certainly fitted the early 1970s sports bike brief with its short half-fairing, hump seat, low handlebars and rear-set footrests
At the heart of the bike is BMW's iconic, air/oil-cooled 1,170cc DOHC boxer twin engine, affectionately known as the 'camhead', offering 110bhp and 87lb/ft through a slick six-speed gearbox paired with a low-maintenance shaft drive
While the engine performance and frame geometry remained identical, the Racer S included several factory-installed options bundled as standard equipment including wire-spoked wheels, heated handgrips, chromed exhaust system and LED indicators
This example is one of only 31 bikes produced in S trim, has covered just 1,597 miles, and remains in stunning condition
Not used on the road since 2022, the bike is regularly started and run up to temperature and has been used recently, but may require light recommissioning prior to use
Supplied with a current V5C, BMW book pack with riders manual etc.
A fantastic opportunity to purchase a superb, low mileage, R nineT Race S that is cosmetically superb and is reported as running and riding well
