Eye-catching highlights: aluminum surfaces- The high-gloss lacquered, brushed aluminum surfaces ensure a radiant appearance. They create striking contrasts and emphasize the value of the R 12 nineT. Particularly eye-catching is the aluminum tank.
- The powerful heart of the R 12 nineT is a further stage of evolutionary of the 1,170 cc air/oil-cooled boxer engine. With a full 109 hp and 85 lb-ft, it provides an unmistakable riding experience.
- The sound of the R 12 nineT comes from the completely revised exhaust system. Cool: the chrome-plated manifold with front silencer. Clean: the dual-branch rear silencer with conical mufflers and an electropolished finish.
- It's not just a visual highlight for catching attention. The golden, fully adjustable 45-mm upside-down fork is also right ahead in terms of function.
