BMW R nineT custom unveiled at the Wheels & Waves custom bike festival in Biarritz, France. The GS themed R nineT is inspired from the 1985 Paris Dakar winning G/S.
The R nineT unveiled at the festival has undergone many changes such as windshield, headlamp, high mudguard, large tank and short seat. It also got longer suspension travel, wire spoked wheels, studded tyres for off-road and a similar paint scheme as the championship winning bike.
BMW has named it ‘Concept Lac Rose’ after the Retba Salt Lake where the 1985 Paris Dakar Rally finished.
Edgard Heinrich, Head of Design at BMW Motorrad, said: “Essentially the bike is a cool and laid-back roadster with a few typical off-road features which allow you to leave the street and follow a dirt track into the unknown.
“It is this combination of customising, coolness and unconventionality which make this bike so special.”
The Wheels & Waves custom bike festival is the same place where BMW first revealed the R nineT Scrambler as a concept. So we might see a production version of this GS themed BMW R nineT very soon.
