BMW R 12 nine T Overview

The BMW R 12 nine T is a cafe racer for buyers who want a distinctive, high-performance motorcycle for weekend rides and highway use. Its 1,170cc engine makes 107.5 bhp and 115 Nm, while Rain, Road and Dynamic modes offer three engine-setting choices. Dual-channel ABS helps prevent either wheel from locking during hard braking, and the shaft drive avoids a chain-and-sprocket setup.

The claimed 19.6 kmpl and 220kg kerb weight are practical trade-offs, particularly for buyers focused on running costs or easier handling at low speeds. Its 795mm seat is lower than the Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition’s 805mm seat, though that Triumph is lighter at 216kg. The BMW makes more power than the Speed Twin, but is priced above it. Its claimed mileage is also lower than the Triumph Thruxton 400’s 27 kmpl.

  • 107.5 bhp and 115 Nm deliver substantially more output than smaller cafe racers.
  • Three riding modes let riders choose between Rain, Road and Dynamic settings.
  • Dual-channel ABS helps prevent both wheels from locking during hard braking.
  • The 795mm seat is lower than the Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition’s.
  • A 16-litre tank provides more capacity than the Speed Twin’s 14.5-litre tank.

What we like

  • More power and torque than the Triumph Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition.
  • Lower seat than the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition.
  • Dual-channel ABS, traction control and tyre-pressure monitoring are included.
  • Three-year warranty with unlimited kilometres.

What could be better

  • Claimed mileage of 19.6 kmpl is below the Triumph Thruxton 400’s 27 kmpl.
  • At 220kg, it is heavier than the listed rivals.
  • Priced above all the listed rivals.

Best for: Buy it if you want a high-output cafe racer for highway and weekend riding and can accept its weight, claimed mileage and premium positioning.
