Tony has been coming into our Procycles BMW Sydney dealership over the last 12 months, back and forth, looking at the BMW R nineT and more recently, the R12. But we couldn’t quite get him over the line. Until Tony saw our R12 Option 719, then it was a no-brainer … he was sold. Tony took our demonstrator out for a couple of runs and knew it was the right bike for him. Finally delivery day. The sun was shining and what better bike to hit the road and head off to the beach. Or back to work … so it seemed. Ever since 1923, the abbreviation 719 has represented special, individual customer requests at BMW Motorrad. Factory creations of great craftsmanship and significant attention to detail. Once again, BMW Motorrad have created Option 719, as a tribute to this production process. Models with an even more exclusive touch at the highest level of quality. An Option 719 model version combines state-of-the-art technology with traditional craftsmanship. Tony’s R12 is a classic example. Powered by a traditional Boxer engine, now with revolutionary ShiftCam technology, that pumps out 70 kW (95 hp) @ 6,500 rpm, and 110 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Standard Equipment includes: ABS Pro, DTC, Keyless Ride, Cast Aluminium Wheels, Riding Modes, Dynamic Brake Light, LED Indicator, Taillight and Headlight, Daytime Riding Light, 12V Socket, Revolution Counter, USB Port, Passenger Kit, Classic Option 719 Wheels, Headlight Pro, Tyre Pressure Control and Connected Ride Control.
