Forty years ago, the R 90 S was notable for its aerodynamic styling, performance and vivid Daytona Orange paintjob. The Concept Ninety retains all of those traits, with eye-catching results.
Visually, the hand-crafted aluminium bodywork appears to float above the black-finished chassis and air-cooled, boxer-twin engine. The distinctive fairing mixes retro styling with a very modern LED headlight, while the stubby tail unit incorporates a single seat.
Among the bespoke parts provided by Roland Sands Design are the wheels, rear Paralever swingarm, exhaust system and engine valve covers.
The Concept Ninety isn’t the all-new production bike BMW will be building to commemorate its birthday. But maybe something similar should become a limited-run showroom model, as a contemporary reworking of the R 90 S would most likely attract a long queue of buyers.
