Yes I know the BMW NineT hasn't been released yet but a couple of recent spy shots point to Arkrapovic testing new pieces in conjunction with BMW.

The double stack pipes here are most likely the stock equipment

while this one has a single pipe which looks like an Arkrapovic Silencer.

Also notice how the second picture of the NineT has kept the Concept Ninety's single seat while the other has a more traditional seat with back rack...

Interesting enough there is no markings or even a badge for the pipe but with the shape of the canisters it's not hard to recognize the Akra pipe. the guys who took the shots should have got a video of it running. Such a tease, since it's a horizontially opposed boxer I can only imagine the grunt it will give off.

The guy that took the spy photos said the bikes had "Killer Boxer Sound".

It should sound amazing, especially with the akra exhaust. Would you be able to hunt down any examples of what it may sound like?

 

[Claudio]

I am keeping an ear out for a sound clip. If anything comes up i'll be sure to post it up. Nothing yet though.

now all thats missing from the NineT is the gorgeous low slung bikini fairing from the Concept 90. If it doesnt come from one stock I'm just gunna have to get one myself

I guess every one has their say in the bike but persoanlly I wouldn't change too much of it. I plan to keep my Nine T clean and stock.

If you end up with the change let us know.

really, you're not a fan of the bikini the Concept 90 is wearing?

If NineT shows up from factory with a bikini would you remove it?

 

[Claudio]

Let's just see what happens first and how it shows up on the carpet when launched. If it came that way I wouldn't remove it but if it didn't I would go out of my way to buy the front fairing to add on.

I wouldn't, I love the look, it just seems to sit well here on the Nine T concept. But a full faring might also make it look better, I'll have to see i rendered on.

regardless of whichever exhaust that ends up with this boxer it ain't going to be loud as you guys think. These engine weren't known to be loud but has a distinct sound. So adding a exhuast would just give it a more pronouned boxer sound.

the Ark on the NineT spy shot looks like a slip on silencer TBH, not louder but deadening. Bad boys move in silence and violence

I actually wouldn't mind that, sometimes making a bike louder makes it annoying, even to the rider. It's going to be interesting to hear what it sounds like with the various exhaust systems to come out for it.

Doesn't look like there is any slipon silencer to me.

BMW has been making aircooled twin boxers from the dawn of time from what I recall they weren't meant to be loud and aggressive. However they do produce a sound like no other. You really have to hear it to know what exactly I am talking about. A good reference would just to listen to the R1100r to get a hint of how the Nine T would sound like.

 

[penner]

these all seem like test mules to me. so it would be hard to say. but there is no doubt akra will provide an exhaust for this motorcycle.

I have an R90S and would have to say that I would not be a fan of the bar mounted bikini fairing on the R nine T. It's unstable at speed on the R90S.

Would prefer a frame mounted half fairing like the concept or even better-- one like on the Metisse BMW café racer.
