Here is the latest from BMW. They had to update their 2021 R NineT models to meet Euro 5 and also added a few new features and options: https://www.motorcycle.com/mini-features/2021-bmw-r-ninet-models-updated-for-euro-5.html
It's not just you. My first reaction to this thread was :yawn: . (I do appreciate Richard230 digging up all these articles though. )It's just me, but I've never understood the appeal of any R NineT model. My eyes fixate on the huge gas tank, which reminds me of a beluga whale. I think the bike looks cartoonish and completely out of proportion.
