BMW pays tribute to Hubert Auriol with this version of the BMW R NineT Urban G/S honouring his victory at the 1983 Paris-Dakar with a limited edition of 40 units which will be produced only for the French market.

The man nicknamed the African is undoubtedly one of the most famous rally-raid riders. He participated 16 times in the Paris-Dakar race between 1979 and 1994 and won the event three times, first in 1981 and again in 1983 with a BMW R 80 G/S. Then Auriol switched to the car class in 1988, first racing a works Mitsubishi Pajero Proto T3, but after losing the event to Ari Vatanen in 1990, he switched to the Citroën team, winning in 1992 with a ZX Rallye Raid, co-driven by Philippe Monnet.

In 1994, Auriol joined the Dakar ASO organization, and in 1995 he became the race director of the Dakar event until 2004.

R nineT Urban G/S is eye-cathing, powerful and air-cooled.

Enjoy the confident feel of a boxer with an upright and relaxed riding position, coupled with innovative technology. Choose from countless customising options for your own unique ideas.

The R nineT Urban G/S makes a clear statement: It pays tribute to the early days of BMW Motorrad's G/S success story. Just one look and it's clear that the R nineT Urban G/S captures the off-road spirit of that era. At the same time, its driving characteristics make it a true member of today's nineT family. It reflects the way of life of that time: People knew where they wanted to go, and they knew exactly how they would get there. Same as today.

Design

The source of inspiration: unmistakable.
The design of the R nineT Urban G/S is eye-catching. Distinctive stylistic elements make it a powerful, robust bike that pays tribute to the original G/S design: the 19-inch front wheel, the telescopic fork with the familiar bellows, the headlamp mask with the windscreen and the raised mudguard define the front of the bike.

Its profile is defined by a pronounced horizontal lines. White body elements and the narrow, slightly longer seat revive the spirit of the legendary R 80 G/S from 1980. The black engine and frame highlight this effect. The new classic round instruments also show that the Urban G/S is part of the nineT family. The R nineT Urban G/S also excels on everything from unpaved paths to gravel roads. The optional studded tyres and spoke wheels, the Enduro foot pegs, the bolted-on heat shield and the steel footbrake lever highlight this fact, both functionally and visually.
