BMW had announced the 90-year-hommage bike last year, but all we knew back then was only that the bike would be powered by an air-cooled engine and it should be a pretty special piece of machinery. Seeing this stunning bike today only strengthens our belief that BMW are capable to surprise anyone, at any time. Welcome BMW Concept Ninety!
The Concept Ninety is based on the acclaimed R90S (see a pattern there?) and was developed by the BMW Motorrad design team with... Roland Sands. This should be pretty much enough for those acquainted with RSD's creations, and just hearing about this collaboration is almost like a dream come true.
Retaining the character of the old R90S, the Concept Ninety makes no compromise: it's fast, sporty, loud and savage... just any iconic motorcycle should be. Roland Sands has worked his magic on quite a heap of bespoke parts, from valve and engine covers to the amazing instrument housing, thus adding his unmistakeable signature to the build.
The Concept Ninety is a stunning blend of retro bike-building and modern technology, with a design which mixes the 40-year-old heritage with the most advanced road-racing ideas. Enjoy the excellent video and the sweet pics, and prepare to fall in love...
