BMW Motorrad Malaysia Unveils The BMW R nineT 100 Years Edition

This is the 100 Years Edition of the original retro-inspired BMW R nineT roadster

BMW Motorrad turns 100 and to celebrate its long century of passion-driven and soul-fueled heritage, the brand is unveiling the new BMW R nineT 100 Years Edition, which is a special limited edition version of this retro-inspired roadster limited to only 10 units in Malaysia and 1,923 units worldwide.

Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “A design icon of its era, the BMW R nineT has paved the way for stylish yet powerful roadsters that paint pure passion for SoulFuel over the years. The BMW R nineT encapsulates the great roadster tradition of BMW Motorrad in a particularly refined and sophisticated manner, culminating 100 years of motorcycle construction and a persevering passion for the Boxer engine.”

“As we celebrate 100 Years of BMW Motorrad this year, we are thrilled to present ten exclusive units of the New BMW R nineT 100 Years for our passionate community of riders in Malaysia. The iconic BMW R nineT has always been a model for absolute aficionados and conveys a feeling of nostalgia, representing SoulFuel in its most exclusive form,” he added.

Moreover, the new BMW R nineT 100 Years Edition’s minimalist design completes the amazing look of the bike with a compact tank and upright seating position, as well as high-quality materials and stylish design elements. The Black Storm metallic paintwork on the chrome-plated tank adds to this beautifully.

The New BMW R nineT 100 Years revives the almost century’s old tradition of combining paint finishes and chrome surfaces. More than a stylistic feature, chrome surfaces are characterised by their hardness and resulting high durability, providing good protection against corrosion alongside a radiant, mirror-like shine.

On top of that, standard equipment for the new BMW R nineT 100 Years Edition are LED headlights with DRLs, a dual speed indicator and rational-speed sensor instruments with on-board computer content and more. Completing the extensive equipment are the Aluminium Package and Aluminium Fuel Tank, as well as the Comfort Package, inclusive of Riding Modes Pro, cruise control and heated grips.

The new BMW R nineT 100 Years Edition is powered by the legendary 1,170cc air/oil-cooled flat twin four-stroke Boxer engine, capable of making 109 hp and 116 Nm of torque. It also features twin-disc brakes with four-piston callipers in the front and a single-disc brake with double-piston floating callipers in the rear.

With the Financing Plan from BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, you can own the BMW R nineT 100 Years Edition from RM1,578 per month (based on the Balloon Financing estimates of an 80 percent 4-year loan). Owners can also enjoy additional benefits with the Industry-Leading Premium Engine Oil Inclusive, Service Inclusive and Warranty Extension Programmes by BMW Motorrad Malaysia.
