The BMW R nineT was sold in India in two variants. The Standard at Rs 18,99,967 was the core model - 1,170cc boxer twin, shaft drive, USD forks, Brembo brakes, and the four-part customisation-ready frame. This was the version that defined the R nineT's India identity across its production lifetime from 2014 to 2024.

The 100 Years Edition at Rs 24,00,000 was launched in India to mark BMW Motorrad's centenary - one hundred years of BMW motorcycle production, which began in 1923. It was a limited production run of 1,923 units globally (the number referencing the founding year), and the India allocation was correspondingly small. The 100 Years Edition used the same engine and chassis hardware as the Standard, adding a premium finish package: an exclusive White over Alpine White colour scheme, specific graphics, a commemorative badge, heated grips, cruise control, and Riding Modes Pro - features that were either optional or unavailable on the Standard.

The Rs 5,00,033 gap between Standard and 100 Years Edition is entirely equipment and exclusivity - there is no performance difference. For a buyer who wanted cruise control and heated grips on their R nineT, the 100 Years Edition was the factory-approved route to get them. For a buyer who planned to modify the motorcycle heavily, the Standard made more sense - and the Rs 5 lakh saving funded a significant aftermarket budget.

On the used market in 2026, the 100 Years Edition commands a premium of approximately Rs 1-3 lakh over comparable-condition Standard examples, reflecting both its original price differential and its rarity. However, heavily modified Standard examples with quality custom work can exceed the 100 Years Edition's used value depending on the modification quality and buyer preference.

## Variants
| Variant | Ex-showroom Price |
|---------|------------------|
| Standard | ₹ 18,99,967 |
| 100 Years Edition | ₹ 24,00,000 |

Both variants are now out of production. The BMW R 12 nineT at Rs 22,74,974 is the current production model that continues the R nineT lineage. For used R nineT buyers, the choice between Standard and 100 Years Edition is primarily about whether the premium equipment (heated grips, cruise control, Riding Modes Pro, specific colour) is worth the price difference in the specific example being evaluated.

## FAQs

**How many variants does the BMW R nineT come in?**
The BMW R nineT was sold in India in two variants: the Standard at Rs 18,99,967 and the 100 Years Edition at Rs 24,00,000. Both were discontinued in April 2024 when the R 12 nineT succeeded the model.

**What does the R nineT 100 Years Edition add over the Standard?**
The 100 Years Edition at Rs 24,00,000 adds heated grips, cruise control, Riding Modes Pro, and an exclusive White over Alpine White colour scheme with commemorative badging. Mechanically - engine, suspension, brakes - both variants are identical. Only 1,923 units were produced globally.

**Which BMW R nineT variant offers the best value?**
The Standard at Rs 18,99,967 for buyers who plan to modify the motorcycle - the Rs 5 lakh saving funds substantial aftermarket work. The 100 Years Edition for buyers who want factory-fitted cruise control, heated grips, and the Riding Modes Pro without aftermarket installation. On the used market, heavily modified Standards often exceed the 100 Years Edition's value.

**Is the BMW R nineT 100 Years Edition rare in India?**
Yes. Global production was limited to 1,923 units, and India's allocation was a small fraction of that. The 100 Years Edition is one of the rarer BMW Motorrad limited editions sold in India and commands a premium in the used market over standard R nineT examples.
