2014 BMW R nine T Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2014 BMW R nine T naked motorcycle, BMW features a 1170 cc (71.4 cu in) oil & air-cooled two cylinder boxer, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 108.6 HP (79.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 119 Nm (87.8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 92.8 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the R nine T measures 222 kg (489 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.49 HP/kg (2.04 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,476 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 400 km (249 miles) between fill-ups.
