Honest and fair review. I enjoyed the video, but I always do. Grtz your 🇳🇱 fan.
@@gertjanweststrate7267 Thanks brother!
R nine t is my choice i love the boxer engine, torque and sound.
Thruxton R hasn't been in production since 2019 so there's that.
It doesn’t matter
Like not even a little bit.
We should only by the bike we WANT not “the best” bike judged arbitrarily by an anonymous gaggle of people.
I have ridden a lot of road motorcycles in my time, The RNineT is among the most well mannered easy handling and powerful bikes I have ever thrown a leg over. It is pretty forgiving of rookie errors, but needs full concentration at speed. No obvious design faults (no fuel gauge is a minor irritant only) and a joy to ride in any conditions.
It is a very comfortable ride and Bike likes cornering !
Very detailed review, great audio, nice camera, and fantastic editing. Keep up the good work!!
I bought my RnineT in 2016 and I sold it because 1)I started law school 2) it lacked cruise control. However, it was one of the best handling bikes I’ve ever ridden. It’s always stable in the corners due to the low center of gravity from the engine. I covered 18k miles in a year but then felt battered due to not having cruise control lol. I am thinking of buying it again now since it comes with cruise stock. That says a lot since I’ve never had the same bike twice and at 31 I’ve had over 10 different motorcycles.
Should have bought a throttle lock (cruise control)
Speedometer is obligatory :) that is what you had in the scrambler version you rode. About the torque steer... it is much more felt on these BMWs: the motorcycle twists to the right not because of the torque alone, but because the engine rotates along the central axle of the motorcycle due to the boxer configuration. inside the regular engines the cilinders move up and down, and the engine rotates perpendicular to the motorcycle central axle, that is why it is so noticeable on this or the r18
The only thing I know how to do is twist my wrist but thanks for all the info 😁👍
@@PetroHead and I should say you twist it real nice, with lot of respect for the public road leaving ludicrous speed racing to where it belongs... In the racetrack! Many thxs for the example.
If you’re a fan of the channel, I track very often and there is plenty of track content. Enjoy! 👍
Always thought this was one of the best looking bikes.
'circular headlamps',... you mean LED's, I think.
This bike has riding modes because unlike the previous models it is now 'fly-by-wire', poss. worth a mention?
I have had the fortune of owning the 2021 BMW R NineT for a few months, and to your point of the ride modes, it is a lot to do with traction control and ABS. Ideally, you can feel the difference on slower speeds by the way the throttle response changes on lower gears. On the freeway, it's fairly insignificant.
This is one of my dream bikes
Go buy one.
Would you rather be old sayin
“I had a dream bike”
Or
“I rode that bike like I stole it”
My dream bike is any bike with a good sounding boxer
@@dnt_alert5806 amen to that.
eBay is FULL of them
Oilheads are economically priced right now because Airheads are enjoying so much resurgence.
Oilers are reliable and have plenty of power, and I prefer the telelever front suspension over a traditional fork. It’s heavy but the surefooted stability is a fair trade off and it’s low maintenance.
Looking at the R9T as my second bike. I bought an 07 f650GS single for 1500 fixed it for 500. Its worth 5K. Oddly enough you are right about BMW. Even the GS models eat turns.
What did you think about the lack of a fuel gauge? I think there’s no excuse for it in 2021
Ironically, I was low on gas and light came on with a tally of how many miles I've been riding with low fuel indicator. I didn't mind it so much.
@@PetroHead I read that it supposed to tell you how many miles to empty once the fuel light comes on... but being from Australia, when you sometimes have more than 40 miles to the nearest station... it becomes a big issue, and it’s such a shame for me, cuz other than that, it’s an amazing bike. Don’t get why BMW did not even bother to make a post acquisition add-on...
Yea that’s gotta be tough.
Trip odometer works well for me
@@kona6451 seriously. I ride an old xl600r and you learn to just find what number you gotta head back by
Also the dynamic brake control works great let off the throttle n you will see his well it works.
I would think that the difference between rain mode and normal would have more to do with available traction than anything else.
Enjoyed your review very much & just committed to one of these brilliant bikes 👍
Awesome!
So Dyna mode is quick n fast responce in my experiance with my 2021 BMW r nine t pure love the bike.
New for 2021, circular headlamp? It's had a round headlight since day one.
I meant to say circular LED... sue me 😁
Mine has adaptive LED headlight so it shines into the corner where you are going
The tachometer comes with an active gear indicator? I am looking to get this same bike, but I know that the Pure only come with the speedometer.
Well prepared and informative content. You just earned my subscription ☺
Thank you 🙏
Great review!! Keep them coming!
Thank you! 🙏
I respect that you dont speedy too much on the street. The last thing we need is more street Rossi lol
Thanks for this very well done review. I’m thinking of test riding one. New Sub 😊
You just earned my subscribe, friend. I've got a bit of a crazy question - anyone ever tried touring in one of these, perhaps in scrambler form? Just curious. Thanks for the sweet content!
Hello Jacob,I made a 24h straight trial with the scrambler. In short I can tell you that the seating position ( sadlle) is not for a long usage or long distances as become uncomfortable for the driver, is only the minus that I can report. In overall scrambler was very good and I’m waiting to make the same with this reviewed model to see the differences. I’m sorry for my English !
I have the standard R Nine T and with the addition of a Ventura pack rack and a dry bag it does just fine and I tour/camp all over New Zealand with this setup. The speed limit is low over here so the lack of a screen isn’t an issue, and for me anyway, the seat is comfortable for a couple of hours before the dreaded numb bum sets in and its coffee stop time.
Good review, can you please tell what gloves you are wearing. Appreciate your reply.
Dianese gauntlet style gloves $$$
Great video 👍 I’d personally buy a second hand one and save money 🏦 the boxer engine goes forever ,great looking bikes 👍
Great video! I ride a 2021 HD Streetglide Special, a great touring bagger with all of the bells and whistles, was looking for something sportier to ride around town, commute to work every now again and in the mountain twisties, think I may have found it!
I love windblast
Just throw in some earplugs and PIN IT!
My bike has a fairing, but I gotta get full Motogp to get behind it. In fact the windscreen directs most of it right into my chest.
If you buy a Beamer I advise you like the way it looks because you will have it for a very long time.
unrelated to the review. But I like how your head check at intersections. The little things. 🤙🏾
Always man.. 🤙
Buffeting please, not buffering. Nice review. 👍😎
Here come the grammar & spelling police.
How come pillion seat ,is it available?
Rode the R 9 T Sport a couple of month’s ago, it was absolutely sublime had a smile like the Cheshire Cat ,this will be my next bike 😀🇬🇧🏍
Corners better than my 2016 Speed Triple by a long shot, handling is gorgeous ,well done BMW.
I am just waiting for this bike to come in India I’m in love with style and looks of the bike btw nice video 👍, keep grinding , Love from India
Nice and complete review, man. I just wished that you could comment on how it rides with a pillion (both for the rider and passenger).
Sorry I don’t ride pillion.
How is the R nine T compared to the street triple? Or the speed twin? Which is faster?
RNT is a muscle bike and the Striple a sport bike. If you want performance stick to Striple.
Love the sound of an air cooled boxer motor winding out.
Its oil cooled but not called an oilhead. Its a camhead DOHC. He was incorrect in saying aircooled
@@SoCalBusaRider I knew someone was going to bust my balls about that. The motor is air and oil cooled. I’ve owned an “airhead” and currently own an “oilhead.” I get the difference in semantics, but both are still air-cooled motors.
@@michaelbrown9363 haha... no worries...I was more taking about Petrohead saying it in this video. Cheers 😁
@@SoCalBusaRider HaHa didn’t catch him saying it. Cheers.
I like the sound of a 22 year old boxer that’s still churning out good times
70k miles on my 1999 r1100s and still RIPS through turns
How's the reliability on the bike so far
great review -- thanks for the body specs, I'm close to you. :)
So far I like mine a lot !
What other kind of “world”, other than a “real world” review can you make. Hugh Everett’s “Many Worlds” hypothesis based on Schrodinger’s Cats?
I own a 2017 R NineT, I feel it’s little slow for me. I really want a sport bike now. Do you think Yamaha R1 is too much to handle coming from r ninet ?
Buy an R6 and thank me later.
R1 is really brutal body position/not comfy, think twice first.
R1/R6 same aggressive position and ride height but a good transition from NINET is R6 not R1
seriously how fast can you ride on public roads? BMW way too fast other then track
I'm on the same boat. I bought this bike little prematurely. I came from sports bike. Thought want take it easy. Don't give me wrong, This bike is absolutely fun but needs a little bit more power. Probably trade for 959.
I was actually considering a 2020 Triumph Speed Twin as a 2nd bike to go along with my Street Triple 765. This looks promising as well though, curious what the difference in insurance would be between those two.
I only pay $350 a yr on the street triple (2018) for full coverage .
How do you feel it would do with a pillion?
No personal experience, but BMW is routinely one of the least reliable major manufacturer. They too expensive to be unreliable and not be called Ducati.
There is plenty of room for a pillion.
@@PetroHead - Thanks, I'm lucky to have at least 2 dealers close by that carry both bikes, I will need to check them out soon!
I’m turning my 765 rs for a 2021 R Ninet
@@TheDinmor6 You like regret?
Taste is rather personal but for me Thruxton R (with the fairing) > RnineT Racer (discontinued) > T. Speed Twin > RnineT (this specific model)... even more if you factor in the price. THis model of the nineT is the top of the line that is even pricier that the THruxton RS here in PT... You tried the nineT Scrambler . Yamaha's 900 engine is too bonkers and you spend half your time being afraid of it :)... There is also the Kawasaki Z900RS that is more... blandish?!? but with spectacular fit and finish a true gentleman's bike. Did you feel the heat from the engine up your legs?
No heat from either bikes... rather surprising considering the displacement. Ducati should take note.
Haha your vids are usually released midnight my time. But this one is at 530am. Guess I'll sleep first this time lol
😁😁
It was posted 1hr ago, but says “We’re processing this video. Check back later.” What?
YT had a brain snafu
is it good for beginner
Of course.. go buy it.. no license required that's how easy it is.
@@PetroHead bro in other video you told that is not good for beginner pls tell me I am a big fan of r nine t , also pls make make video on top beginner bike and also about why should a begginner chose bmw r nine t
I was being sarcastic.. of course it’s not a beginner bike.
HOW is the sound？ compare to 2020 model?
Same / similar
I think pre 2021 ninet’s pops a bit more
Looks really good. But the vibration is a big turn off.
Vibrations are always a part of a motorcycle. Some more, some less.
One day everything will be dreary and electric and we’ll miss the good ‘vibes’ of today’s Motos.. I enjoy it too.. it’s full of character.
when 😭
Man, you got to let us hear that engine at least for couple of seconds after you fire it up!
Sorry but the stock exhaust is quiet.
No issues.. a quick pause would help.. appreciate your attention to comments 👍
Love the Sponge Bob reference!
Can you remind me what I said? Lol I forgot
Love this bike, but can't get my head around having that much power on a naked. Like you mentioned, going 80+mph makes me want a fairing to tuck behind. At around town speeds I can get around just as quick on a lighter, short geared 650cc twin and then swap to a superbike for quicker riding.
On a 600cc sportbike, 130mph is yawn inducing. On the 2020 r nine t pure, 130mph is pants shittingly terrifying!
@@deadlyapollo HAHA! If that's what you want, might I suggest doing 100mph on any 20+ year old bike. 1/10 the price but 5 times the terror.
Not as flickabal as Yamaha FZ09 but it has great manners on the road
I feel like this is personal preference. I don’t mind the buffeting at all myself. Was just up around 160kph and I didn’t find it too much for me. But I’m a naked bike fan and used to it.
You are saying 12X2=18. I dont think thats correct.
I have no idea what I said in a 4 year old video but I’m pretty sure 12 x 2 is 26
That's screaming for engine guards! Scary to see exposed heads.
Torque steer is what happens to fwd cars not motorcycles....
Buffeting
I think the k100 looks better
Mate, the music's too loud...
Wonk wonk.. 🤷♂️
@@PetroHead You should take constructive criticism a little better, mate. Your videos would become better and, who knows, you could increase your subscriber tally...
Only 0.0001% of the audience complains about music volume levels. Can’t please everyone so I don’t try to. Besides, I’ve come to realize that someone always has an issue.. so wonk wonk.. 🤷♂️
افضل دراجه ناريه في العالم
I know on my cb1000r modes in sport it's full power all gear road 1,2 less power and rain 1,2,3 less power. Hard to tell if you don't have long with the bike.
On most bikes its obvious though... this is why I was surprised.
@@PetroHead depends on the rider.
5:18 Bentley continental GT
The race bikes motorcycle porn...
damn the sound is really crap compared to the old r nine t
All bikes are going to suffer this change ☹️
