2020 BMW R nineT /5

The new BMW R nine T /5

Legendary. Air-cooled.

The BMW R nineT /5 was developed for the 50 year anniversary and as an homage to the legendary /5 series from the late 60s and early 70s. The R nineT /5 perfectly exemplifies the design of that time while also delivering modern innovative technology and quality. Reminiscent of that era, this bike stands for an attitude towards life that was born in those times and now guides you along every mile and around every curve: Riding motorcycles as an expression of individual freedom. Or, as we refer to it today: Make Life a Ride.

The R nineT /5 shows what retro design looks like when it isn’t from yesterday. Succinct highlights add additional accents that supplement the R nineT family’s distinctive appearance. The high-quality paintwork with smoke effects, the fork with silver dip tube and black gaiters, the seat together with the decorative chrome and white leather, and, of course, every other design element, chosen with care and an eye to the past, prove: The design of the R nineT /5 is classic. It is not artificial or trendy, it stands for the love of motorcycles and the lifestyle of the early 70s.

The powerful air-cooled, two-cylinder opposed-twin engine of the BMW R nineT /5 boasts a displacement of 1170 cc and an output of 110 hp for a highly dynamic power delivery, even at low speeds. Thanks to the standard BMW Motorrad ABS, the ASC Automatic Stability Control, and the heated grips that also come standard, you always have this dynamism securely under control. Supported by modern technology, the R nineT /5 continues the ideas of individuality and freedom born in the 70s.
