Akrapovic Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 To celebrate the birth in 1969 of its model series R50 / 5, R60 / 5 and R75 / 5, the Bavarian brand launched a limited series of its naked retro, the BMW R nineT / 5. If the R nineT is already a precious motorcycle, this evocation of the models / 5 that marked the Boxer models of the seventies is simply lustful. And it's funny because when you see the BMW R nineT / 5 it sounds familiar, and is that fifty years later we can still see some of these models / 5 circulating with its characteristic blue color. A good way, without a doubt, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of a model that signified the renewal of the Boxer myth, and the entrance to a new era. By the way, with this model also celebrate the 50 years of manufacture of motorcycles in the Spandau factory. The R nineT / 5 has special decoration in metallic blue with Option 719 white thread, spoke rims, fuel tank with rubber knee pads and rubber bellows in the fork, a very retro detail. In addition, it has chrome details such as mirrors, anodized pieces, heated grips, commemorative plaque and ASC. The rest of the technical specifications are maintained, such as the air-cooled boxer engine of 1170 c.c. and 110 HP, instrumentation or braking equipment. At the moment they have not commented on prices or availability. 1
