BMW R nineT Pure 2021

BMW proves that even the most affordable entry into the R nineT world does not compromise on riding performance and emotion. If you reach for the original accessories from the Bavarians, you will quickly find that even the Pure quickly becomes a visual dream! The only compromises are the suspension, which is not very responsive, and the gauges, which are reduced to the bare minimum except for a speed indicator and trip meter. But with such a retro bike with such a strong character, you can overlook even these minor inconveniences.
