BMW’s New Accessories Turn the R 12 nineT Into a Flat Track Pretender (and That’s OK)

BMW Motorrad has always managed to balance tradition with individuality. The German brand built its name on boxer engines and touring machines, but it also knows how to feed the customization bug. Bikes like the R nineT became instant hits because they let riders stamp their own identity on a factory machine.

The R 12 nineT continues that playbook, and now BMW has cooked up a way to make it look like it just rolled off a dirt oval: The Tracker kit.

Flat track racing is gritty, loud, and all about sliding sideways on dirt ovals. The Tracker package takes that raw DNA and cleans it up for street use. You get a shortened tail section in Blackstorm Metallic, complete with an integrated plate holder and multifunctional indicators. There’s a small headlight cowl to give the front end some attitude, side number plates for that race-inspired silhouette, a sticker set, and even a new front wheel cover. It’s everything you’d expect from a purpose-built tracker, minus the dirt and the exhaust fumes.
