Last year was the major upgrade year for the venerable R nineT, as the motor was brought up to Euro 5 standards. The Select Package gets an upgrade, so let’s go over that first.
For 2022, the Select Package has Headlight Pro, a feature that automatically adjusts the headlight’s angle. Adding $1000 to the price of the T, this is what the Select Package includes:
- Ride Modes Pro
- Traction control
- Electronically controlled engine compression braking
- Cornering aware and self-adjusting headlight
- Cruise control
- Heated grips
The 2022 BMW R nineT gets the same colors as last year, and they’re good ones. Black Storm Metallic is standard. Spending $1000 gets you Option 719 Aluminum Matte, while Option 719 Mineral White Metallic/Aurum can be had for $1050. At the top of the list is the $1100 Option 719 Night Black/Aluminum Matte paint job.
The 2022 MSPR for this retro-styled motorcycle is $15,945. Look for the 2022 BMW R nineT at your local dealership in the 4th quarter of this year.
