Statement, not standard
With the new “The Tracker” accessories package, you can transform your R 12 nineT into an urban Flat Track racer – inspired by a motorsports tradition that began in the early 1900s in the USA on oval dirt tracks. Even back then, tight drifts, pure dynamism and minimalist design captivated riders and spectators alike.
The customising kit “The Tracker” taps into this rich history – featuring a short rear end, a start-number carrier and authentic Flat-Track styling. Everything is perfectly coordinated to accentuate the characteristic retro charm of the BMW motorcycle model. For individualists who wish to consciously step away from the mainstream.
