2024 BMW R12 nineT New Chassis Is Simpler And Lighter

Some journalists on the test ride saw these as negatives – and many customers grabbing a brief test on a dealer machine may agree with them – but not me. In this class of retros, the quirks and qualities of the old design complement the ride. I don't want a silky smooth character-free engine powering my cool-looking retro; a little personality, just like we had in the old days, can only be a good thing. Anyway (and of course), BMW hasn’t simply thrown an old motor in a new chassis; they have worked on the fuelling, the torque curve and throttle response. In fact, the fuelling is perfect by the most modern of standards: soft and user friendly in Road and Rain modes, while Dynamic mode adds a little zip and urgency to throttle inputs, but it’s still not aggressive or intimidating. The new bike's ace cards, however, are its torque and driveability. BMW has worked on improving low to mid-range drive, and the result is brilliant. The drive from as low as 2000rpm is as clean as it is enormously strong. Even short shifting at just 4000rpm results in an old-school Bavarian surge that straightens arms in a way that has to be experienced before air-cooled rockers become extinct. Hustling the new nineT through mountain passes, using only fourth and fifth gear, even in tight hairpins where third would normally be needed, was as relaxed as it was fun. I simply left the new quick-shifter alone and ran a couple of gears too high, the rich and all enveloping torque making life so easy. All this, of course, accompanied by the bark of twin pipes and the induction growl from the re-routed airbox... just lovely. And don't think for moment this is a slow or lazy bike that relies solely on its low and midrange torque. The R12 nineT can deliver a decisive turn of speed for a fast overtake. It likes revs too. You can even switch off the traction control (on the move) and it will pop the front wheel up with nonchalant cool. If the engine is a carry-over, the same can’t be said of the chassis – the R12 nineT’s frame is a much more conventional steel trellis setup than the three-piece, bolt-together design used on the old R nineT.
