New “Option 719” components.
From the very outset, development of the R nineT models focused
on offering maximum scope for customisation, and countless
conversions have demonstrated their enormous potential. Firmly
rooted in the tradition of BMW Motorrad, “Option 719” offers
particularly exclusive and high-quality optional extras to
individualise an R nineT entirely according to the owner’s personal
taste and to the very highest standards. BMW Motorrad has now
integrated further attractive parts into the existing and already very
extensive range of “Option 719” components.
The new items here include the “Option 719 Milled Parts Packages
I and II”, which are available in Classic (silver) and Shadow
(black/silver). The “Option 719 Milled Parts Package I
Classic/Shadow” includes parts milled from solid aluminium such
as cylinder head covers, belt cover and seat holder.
Meanwhile the “Option 719 Milled Parts Package II
Classic/Shadow” includes components such as handlebar end
mirrors, hydraulic expansion tank covers, brake and clutch levers,
footrest systems and passenger footrests – likewise milled from
solid aluminium. The two “Option 719 Milled Parts Packages”
complement each other perfectly, giving the R nineT models a
particularly high-quality, technical look with their milled surfaces
machined with the greatest precision.
BMW Motorrad has also introduced advancements in the area of
wheels – always a popular starting point for customisers:
“Option 719 Wheel Classic” provides a tubeless spoke wheel that
is produced in particularly high quality. One particular technical
feature here is the mounting of the spokes on the rim by means of
precisely guided cross-nipples rather than nipples and rim
punching, thereby ensuring the rim well is sealed for the use of
tubeless tyres. This spoke wheel with a black rim ring, black hub
and stainless steel spokes also offers impressive manufacturing
quality. What is more, riding dynamics are significantly improved by
the lower level of inertia as compared to normal spokes.
For those who wish to give their R nineT a particularly sporty touch,
the “Option 719 Wheel Sport” is available as an alternative,
designed as a Bi-Color cast wheel. Here the rim ring, wheel spider
