Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2016 BMW R9T Cafe Racer.
Initially introduced in 2014, the BMW R nineT was such a surprise hit that it eventually led to an entire family of bikes – but the original is the best in terms of components.
A dual exhaust, inverted forks, spoke wheels, aluminum fuel tank, and dual gauges (including tachometer) differentiate the model from future variants, all of which were given cheaper price tags and lower specifications to match.
It’s a rare case of the original standard being the flagship model. The R nineT (in any form) is a good choice for someone who wants to do some customization. The motor is a classic air/oil-cooled engine that puts out useful power with 110 horses and a significant 86 ft/lbs of torque.
This example is VIN: WB10A1604GZ676027. Purchased four years ago at Rosso Corsa in Orange County.
The odometer shows 657 km. The seller states he has covered “only 200 miles since I bought it. It’s just a show piece. Someone should enjoy it.” The bike has approximately 2,408 miles and the instrument cluster was changed for the Moto gadget unit 657 km ago. We are providing proof of original mileage from the time of the sale using the registration documents which were filed in Montana documenting the bike at 2,000 miles.
