The BMW R nineT Scrambler is a combination of old-school feel of an air-cooled boxer engine, and capable dynamics off the road. The display motorcycle features Metzeler knobby tyres, and spoke wheels to take on the unexplored terrains. The high-set twin exhaust will help in its water-wading capabilities as well. The riding position is upright, with easy to reach handlebars. The motorcycle costs INR 15.9 lakhs, ex-showroom, Delhi.
