BMW Motorrad R 12 nine T on-road price in Chennai
₹26.52 Lakh on-road for the base variant, against ₹23 Lakh ex-showroom.
On the road in Chennai the base R 12 nine T comes to ₹26.52 Lakh: ₹23,00,000 ex-showroom, ₹2,88,000 in Tamil Nadu road tax and registration (12.5%), ₹64,313 for first-year insurance. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

Within Tamil Nadu the R 12 nine T ranges from ₹26,51,411 to ₹26,52,313 on-road across the 12 RTO cities we track; the road-tax rule is the same statewide, so the gap is dealer ex-showroom and insurance pricing.
With petrol at about ₹100.80 in Chennai and a claimed 19.6 kmpl, fuel comes to about ₹5.14 per km, or ₹4,011 a month at 30 km a day. Heavy traffic will push mileage to the lower end of the real-world band.
