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.

McLaren and Motul develop bespoke lubricant to keep them on top
Motul uses McLaren Racing to test the limits of their formulas
Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

My first vehicle was a 1988 Ford Ranger. It was small, reliable, and the perfect first car. However, I wasn't allowed to park it in the driveway at home because it went through as much oil as it did gas. The leak was bad enough that I had to check and refill the oil once a week. The same cadence as the gas tank. That was where I learned the importance of fluids for cars. McLaren hits the Formula 1 tracks across the globe with that importance at the forefront of mind as they compete for the championship, and will now be teaming with Motul to take their collaboration for the world's most reliable lubricant to the world of endurance racing. From the high stress of speed in Formula 1 to the endurance of long-distance racing, the perfect bespoke lubricant is on the way.

McLaren was already using a very high-performance transmission fluid, with an extremely high level of requirements. Our challenge was to go even further: decrease friction losses even more while ensuring lubricant durability over time. The formulation developed with McLaren Racing has been validated to maintain its performance over several thousand kilometers under Formula 1 conditions. And this is only the beginning: in F1, cars are constantly evolving, and the formulation will continue to progress as well. - Julien Plet, Head of R&D at Motul.

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton

Charles Leclerc earned his first victory in almost two years for Ferrari. Unfortunately for him, all the chatter around the British Grand Prix will be about its controversial ending that resulted in the 175,000-strong crowd at Silverstone booing after they were denied a dramatic finish.

The record crowd at Silverstone was in for a thriller from the start, with Leclerc staking claim to the lead, followed by Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton behind him. 19-year-old phenom Kimi Antonelli didn't need long to take over Hamilton. And it seemed like Antonelli was positioning himself for a stunning sixth Formula 1 victory, taking the lead after Leclerc made a pit stop.
