The design of the R nineT is shaped by 100 years of motorcycle production and by BMW Motorrad’s unwavering passion for the boxer engine. In the anniversary edition, the legendary engine is accompanied by chrome and Option 719 parts, including paint-on-chrome surfaces, pinstriping, and exquisitely milled parts and wheels. The finish on the 100 Years models was a complex process: In preparation, the metal tank for example, was polished to a high gloss. The surface had to be completely free of dust and scratches for further treatment. After this step, the tank was immersed in various electroplating baths. Layers of copper, nickel, and ultimately chromium were applied. The finished chrome-plated tank was then painted in several layers of Avus Black and a final coat of clear.
