BMW Motorrad has introduced The Tracker, a new accessories package for the R 12 nineT. The kit brings flat track racing design cues to the street with a short rear section, cockpit fairing, and number plates.

Flat track style appeal

Flat track style has long appealed to riders for its stripped-down look and raw racing heritage. With compact proportions, bold number plates, and a stance built for speed, it carries the spirit of oval dirt tracks onto the street. The style balances simplicity with attitude, making it a favorite for those who want their bike to look fast even when standing still.

The BMW R 12 nineT is a strong fit for flat track styling because of its classic roadster foundation and customizable design. Its clean lines, balanced proportions, and robust presence give The Tracker kit the perfect canvas to showcase racing-inspired elements without losing everyday rideability. The Blackstorm Metallic colorway is a BMW classic.

What’s included in the BMW R 12 nineT Tracker package

The Tracker accessory package includes:

  • Short rear end in Blackstorm Metallic with license plate holder and multifunctional indicators
  • Cockpit fairing in Blackstorm Metallic
  • Number plates in Blackstorm Metallic
  • Tracker sticker set for number plates and lamp mask – you don’t need to use 35, that just an example.
  • 17-inch front wheel cover in Blackstorm Metallic

Each piece can also be ordered individually, giving riders more room to customize.

Ford is celebrating the Ford Bronco's lengthy 60-year legacy with a special anniversary edition.  The first-generation Bronco was introduced on August 11, 1965. Now in its sixth generation, the 2026 Bronco 60th Anniversary Package will be available to order in October with the 4-door Outer Banks model equipped with the brawny Bronco Sasquatch package.
Why the Bronco is so special

Considered the first sport-utility vehicle by many, the Bronco has always combined off-road capability and performance since its introduction. Even though production was suspended for 25 years from 1996 to 2021, Bronco fans, old and new, welcomed the announcement of its return and eagerly awaited the closest competitor to the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

I experienced Ford’s BlueCruise 1.5 and its auto lane changes — here’s the real deal
Ford has closed the gap between Bluecruise and GM's Supercruise

Ford has unveiled BlueCruise 1.5, and fixed one of the system’s biggest shortcomings in the process. While the system previously allowed users to take their hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals, they would still have to manage one of the most common motorway tasks, but now that’s not always the case.

BlueCruise will now handle lane changes on its own in most circumstances. This means when the car in front of you is going noticeably slower than the speed you’ve set, and the lane beside you is clear, then the vehicle will automatically indicate and move over.

Gordon Murray unveils two stunning supercars inspired by Le Mans icons
Gordon Murray’s new supercars blend old-school racing soul with modern tech
GMSV Le Mans GTR in blue front 3/4 view

Automotive design legend Professor Gordon Murray, who is arguably most famous for his work on the McLaren F1, may have given his 1990s masterpiece some new competition. The veteran auto engineer’s company has announced two new supercars, the GMSV S1 LM and the Le Mans GTR.

The classically inspired Le Mans GTR “draws on Murray’s own longtail Le Mans racers,” while pulling inspiration from other longtail vehicles of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. The “Le-Mans” references don’t stop at the styling. Murray will be building 24 Le Mans GTRs -- though if you want one, you shouldn’t get your hopes up. Like many limited-run supercars, they’re already sold out.
