BMW releases R nineT Scrambler details THEY WERE RIDDEN BY ACTION


heroes on the screen, and scores of hobby racers entered mountain and beach races on them: the Scramblers. With deep- treaded tires, a raised exhaust, extended suspension travel and a relaxed seating position, Scramblers offered riders in the 1950s to 1970s not just motorcycling fun on winding country roads, but also great off- road capability and an extended range of use. Like the motorcycles themselves, the people who rode Scramblers were not bound by established conventions, and they could be seen virtually everywhere, on winding country roads,


stony mountain passes and even sandy beaches. 40 BMW OWNERS NEWS September 2016 The history of BMW Motorrad is also


rooted in the Scrambler concept. In 1951, the BMW R 68 was shown at the Interna- tional Bicycle and Motorcycle Fair IFMA in Frankfurt with a typical raised 2-in-1 exhaust, just like the one used for racing by BMW Motorrad legend Georg "Schorsch" Meier. While the standard version of the R 68 had a conventional exhaust mounted in a lower position, the raised exhaust version was already available back then as a BMW Motorrad accessory. To this day, some own- ers of this highly valuable post-war BMW Motorrad classic still like to retrofit the spe- cial Scrambler-style exhaust. Now BMW Motorrad presents the new


BMW R nineT Scrambler, a motorcycle which revives the Scrambler era in a very special way. It has everything that defines this motorcycle type, filled with spirit and created for motorcycle fans who love things that are purist, reduced to the essentials and non-conformist. Combined with the tech- nology and quality of the BMW R nineT Roadster, the BMW Scrambler establishes the new BMW Motorrad Heritage world of experience.
