Cologne bike show: Meet the cafe racersSUPPLIED BMW R nineT range has two new models: the Racer (pictured) and the Pure. This visual sanitation is considered more desirable than the liquid-cooler's extra 15 horsepower, cleaner emission control, and superior fuel efficiency for R nineT applications. The R nineT range therefore grew by a further two models – the Racer and the Pure – at Cologne, which will join the original R nineT roadster and the R nineT Scrambler in showrooms next year. It is the hero model that the R nineT range has been crying out for, and it will likely land in NZ wearing a similar pricetag to that of the $25,290 R nineT roadster given the downgrading of the wheels/forks/brakes componentry. If lighter weight is considered desirable, then the new Street Cup version of the Triumph 900 Street Twin should fit the bill.
