Statement, not standard

With the optional, new “Tracker” accessories package you can transform your R 12 nineT into the style of an urban Flat Track racer – inspired by a motorsports tradition that began in the early 1900s in the USA on oval dirt tracks. Even back then, tight drifts, pure dynamism and minimalist design captivated riders and spectators alike. The customizing “Tracker” kit taps into this rich history – with a short rear end, a number carrier and authentic Flat-Track styling. Everything is coordinated to accentuate the characteristic retro charm of the bike. For individualists who wish to consciously step away from the mainstream.
