BMW Motorrad Tracker Kit
BMW Motorrad has always been able to find a balance between tradition and individuality. The German brand has a strong reputation for boxer engines and touring bikes, but also understands the appeal of customization. Bikes like the R nineT have been popular because they allow riders to personalize a factory machine to reflect their own identity.
The R 12 nineT continues this trend, and BMW has now introduced a way to give it a dirt oval-inspired look: The Tracker kit.
Flat track racing is known for its rough and loud nature, with riders sliding sideways on dirt ovals. The Tracker package takes this raw essence and refines it for street use. The kit includes a shortened tail section in Blackstorm Metallic, an integrated plate holder, multifunctional indicators, a small headlight cowl, side number plates, a sticker set, and a new front wheel cover. It captures the essence of a purpose-built tracker, without the dirt and exhaust fumes.
While it's unlikely that many buyers of this kit will actually take their R 12 nineT to a clay oval for sliding, it's more probable to be seen parked outside a mountain resort or coffee shop. The Tracker kit is designed to make your bike look impressive in photos, whether on social media, in your garage, or at your workplace.
What sets this kit apart is that it is factory-approved, ensuring quality and fitment. It is fully homologated, eliminating the need for extra paperwork, and BMW recommends having it installed at a dealer for the best finish. The kit will be available in the US in the fourth quarter of 2025, and components can be purchased individually for a customized look.
Ultimately, the Tracker kit may not increase the speed of the R 12 nineT, but it certainly enhances its cool factor. It connects a road-going boxer to American racing heritage, providing owners with a bike that looks tough, feels unique, and garners attention every time it appears in photos.
For some, this is what the moto lifestyle is all about, and there's nothing wrong with that.
