I wanted one. I got one. I ride it everywhere on everyday basis. And now after two years love it like the on the first date. Thank You for a nice video.
I rode one about 2 weeks ago as a courtesy bike, while the K1300S was being serviced and I want one too. I have to be easily twice your age and I really want one. I don't think I'd ever make the hipster set, don't think I really want to. :) But I really want one. :)
brilliant scenery. One of the great tourers ever was the BMW 750/5 of the 70s. Amazing where you could take them. Used to have Heinrich Tanks as accessory. The Nine T should be OK if it can carry panniers and kit
Nice review. I felt the same when I rode one...I fell in love, so I ended up buying one! :) I think that one inch of travel may be just the bike you rode, because mine is just fine.
The torque effect is lessened with the telelever front end on the pre 2015 models. My main complaint about the R9T, R1200R and R1200RS is they let the accountants put a price tag on the forks and BMW went for the cheap USD telescopic rather than the wishbone telelever system found on the GS and RT. That said the R9T is fun (as is the RS, which I bounght myself and then sold 3 months later because I could not get comfortable with the of the conventional front end and the seating position was bloody uncomfortable) but I'll be keeping my 2013 1200r for another couple of years.
+Tony BMW I get the feeling part of the reason they didn't fit the telelever (that I did love on thr gs) is it dosnt fit in with the retro feel of the bike. I have heard many people speak of how they hate the feel of the telelever. So maybe it's a bit of everything. I do also wonder how much the telelever would have effected the RRP, it's not a cheap bike as is.
spicy110 I'd agree with the view that perhaps a telelever would not retro feel on the R9T, but the decision to fit a conventional front end to the R & RS (which had been telelever) smells like accountants. The main reason why I say this is the handling and the ride in that area where BMW's are supposed to excel, two up with luggage at motorway speeds, found on the 2015 and later R & RS models is nothing like as good as you got the older models.
spicy110 If you get the chance take a ride on one of the old 2-valve models. If you were up north I'd give you a shot on my 35 year old R65LS and I think you'll be surprised about how similar the R9T feels to that in the way it drops its nose into corners and shakes the front end about on the exits when you're cornering enthusiastically.
The brake is set like that so you can rest your fingers there and pull slightly pre-emptively for a stop, it reduces the amount of time it takes for you to engage the front brake on an emergency stop.
+Dan Murphy I do that with all brakes I find with the gap it make it unpredictable but it seems a few bikes are like it these days. But they still have progression more so than the r9t. I'm sure you would get used to it.
spicy110 ohh so the progression after the dead spot isn't linear then I totally get what you were saying now. Thanks for the response Spicy. Just discovered your channel. This video is the first of yours I've seen. Needless to say I liked/subscribed and rang the bell. Great channel!
I love mine but the non adjustable suspension is awful and im swopping it out as cant get any static sag in the rear so you leave the seat over bumps, and im not heavy. Very smooth on smooth roads as stated in vlog but if you want to hussle over bumpier roads you will suffer and even the odd bump catches you out. Im not a fast rider either these days Still love it suspension change will transform it having talked to owners who have !
I own a BMW r9t and gsx 1000s they are great bikes they are so different they BMW is so row and old school and Suzuki just pulls your arms off I love them both
Thanks, I did like your review overall. Would be interesting what bikes you`ve ridden prior to the r nine t. The claim that it has a lot of power and pulls really hard would suggest your last bike was a C90 ;) I mean after I test rode it, everything about it seemed soo sweet, just felt a bit gutless. It feels on a par with my GF`s Gladius acceleration wise but doesn`t have the top end of the Suzuki. For a 1200 cc I would expect more oomp but that`s only my opinion.
ABS module perhaps taking some initial pressure? It does that on my much cheaper bike, resulting in a soft pull; you can bleed it all you like, it'll always do it.
On my list of bikes to try. I know you've been trying to get them to let you have a go, but try some of the classic Triumph's. The Street Twin is gorgeous for low down power. Get the same thing with my classic Triumph. Some people can't understand why I love them at my age but once you have a go on one you will understand
I love that blue R9T bike that Bahnstormer did. Do they have pictures of it somewhere? It looks like they changed the wire wheels for the cast ones on the R1200R?
I love the look of the bike, was admiring one recently in my local bmw dealer. There are some nice touches & you can see where the quality is. Only problem I can see is that I don't think it is a bike to own by itself, probably wouldn't stand up to a British winter, and would be shame to spoil it by doing so.
Think about the country it's made in plus you can add excellent heated grips and there's a plug on side of engine for a heated suit so you could stay warm all time. Bike would also easily start off in second gear if you don't want torque right off the bat if your worried about snow. The wind is moved around you while riding at 75-80mph there isn't much air pushing against you(buffeting)
I like, its more upright to a sports bike.. kinda classic style. You know me i love classic style machines, But i will never be able to buy it.. Fund issues lol - Great review
Ref the height thing, riding right up against the tank is lazy anyway(ignoring Supermoto where you ride in the dip) so being back further is much better. In my opinion.
From my experience, it really performs well being thrashed around. Also, the torque wasn't that big of an issue for me, coming from a T120 (torquey as fucking hell).
Hi, I though of buying the r1200r for a long time for the same reasons. It is faultless but IMHO doesn't excell anywhere. It's fast but it's not a sports bike. It has no wind protection, it's quite heavy although beautifully balanced BUT it isn't that much fun and lacks character. I guess it is a matter of opinion. Test it and see what you think.
I think I could use that bike, on my usual fun rides. Bendy roads in the country are what it's all about. I do those kinds of roads all the time, so I got an impression of the torque from your video, although your ride was very sedate. What a shame it isn't a British bike. You should get one. Save for it - none of that finance shit.
I really like this bike too, surprised you fit on it o.k. This one and the R1200R I just didn't fit, the pegs are too close to the seat and it folds me up too much. I'm an inch taller than you, but with a 37" inseam, maybe that's the difference? I've wanted some form of a naked BMW for years but never fit on them. The GS/A I fit on just fine and I like them, but it's not the same gravity pull for me as just the standard R1200R or the R Nine T.
Hi, I tested the r1200r and the r1200gs and they both left me cold. I'm thinking of test riding the r nineT and the Triumph street twin, and retesting the Tiger 800xrx, which I loved the first time round. I'm looking for a city bike capable of day country jaunts, how do you think the r-nine would fair? I've heard that the seat is not very comfortable and a few long-term owners said the sheen wore off after a while. What are your thoughts. Love the look of it anyway and the sound.
Seems like a decent bike. I love the look of the GS1200's, I'd love to just test ride one to see if they are as good as the owners seem to say (especially BvG he loves his), but I'm scared I sign on the dotted line or something lol.
Just found your videos and instantly subscribed. I've just done my direct access test and am also 6'4" and have found some of the sub 600cc bikes too small. So am looking for something bigger and am leaning towards a naked and was wondering what you would recommend to try out. Cheer Jake
When I test rode a 800gs my mate kayne was in front on a r9t and had the same issue with the brakes. He recons it's a brembo thing? but that twitch I could feel as well when I got on it xD
that's actually nice. I've never been a fan of Bmw, just becouse of the engine look. I did like the old police BMWs not sure of actual make. but a big machine, I guess that's abit of why they used them, abit intimidating having those on your tail. also great for putting a big sound system in them. I do like the look..but yet if ya a tall guy issues on how long ya back would start acheing. why would you want to not sit naturally. nice sound though, beefy.
would this bike be to much for light dirt roads?. I cannot make my mind up on which bike to get. adv bike are so big. 5,7 and fairly new to riding. any suggestions?
It is my favorite retro bike, as you know I'm the same height as you so I did not order 1. Love the original glossy black colour the best! I just wish the bike was made larger for us tall blokes :D I see you have that gravel road issue down your end of the country too :-/
I went to test ride it last year but when I sat on the bike in the show room; another customer was walking past and told me 'You look daft sitting on that mate' He took a photo for me and showed me the reality :( But still, if I win to lotto, this bike will be in my collection :)
That depends how hard you down shift, Any bike without a slipper clutch will "lock" On my DRZ I am always stamping down the box to use engine braking to the point it starts to lock, not that it really locks just the rotational speed slows lower that your forward momentum so the tyre drags while it's still rotating.
@@spicy110 I have cb125r drive it open throttle up and down, ride it like I stole it but not experienced back wheel locking up. Wouldn't want to experience it on a powerful bike.
Interesting review Spicy. You seemed to love the GS when you rode that into London. How come you prefer the 9T? A man of your height would seem to be too tall for the 9T. I am 6'2" and have a 9T. I am thinking of changing to a GS for more comfort. It is great for a quick blast and looks amazing. It gets a bit uncomfortable after an hour though. Longer rides and motorway riding are not that good I find.
+Lee Allen I had it for the weekend put alot of miles down and I just loved it. The gs is a great bike and it can be used all round but there is just somthing about it thr r9t I can't put my finger on. My head would say GS my heart would say R9T. The gs is alot mote practical for sure.
+spicy110 Thanks for the reply. It was my heart the purchased my 9T. My arse and back wishes I had gone GS though. Joking aside, it is a great bike. All the best Spicey.!!
Hey Spicy. I own one. I totally agree it is the best feeling riding it. I've tried various setups. I've taken the pillion pegs off and had exhaust bracket and ridden it like a bobber. Looked great. I've now added the Rizoma side arm tail tidy with the bullet indicators with integrated brake lights. I love it. I'll try to send you some pics if I can.
+Gregory Peck I don't remember if I said in the video I'm 6'4 15 stone and for me it was fine to ride maybe a little tight on my lower back I have issues with anyway but I think you might just fit better than me. Go for a test ride or at least go and have a sit. Alot can be changed so if you really want this bike you can make it happen and be comfortable
@spicy110 you're legs are much longer than mine (I'm 5' 5") so I'm pretty sure this is just my problem, but did you have a problem planting both feet on the ground without the foot pegs being in the way?
Nice video... The r nine t is my dream bike as well, my plan is to get one sometime next year... BUT... My dad bought a KTM 1190 last week and that thing is INSANE and I've totally fallen for it .... It sounds sick, has a lot of power, is easy to maneuver and is very comfortable. Obviously you cant really compare the two but I am a sucker for fast acceleration and good engine noise. So its a very difficult choice...
+Celt Davies no its the same on this bike as it was on the other one I rode. That was my thought in the first but the second was exactly the same and I'm not the first to notice this as it turns out
Spicy110, I've had 3 BMWs, starting out in 1979. Please ask "Red Renna" Phil Tonic + "Captain Rambunctios" to watch coverage of T 120 + BMW R90R on "Sidestand," RUclips. I subscribe to all of you. John Spencer Long Beach, Ca.
I love that bike, but that boxer engine and manifold is soooo ridiculously ugly as fuck! The GS can pull it off because the body ties in with it nicely, but this... The motor killed the style IMO
Why did it feel to me like bunch of excuses to justify owning this bike? If you have to work that hard to convince yourself then it’s not worth it at all.
I wanted one. I got one. I ride it everywhere on everyday basis. And now after two years love it like the on the first date. Thank You for a nice video.
Was it your first bike?
I love the look of those bikes. They are so pretty. And sound amazing
Loved these when they came out. Would still find a place for one in my dream garage.
Sorry forgot to add, thanks Spicy. I like your bike reviews. Keep em coming!
I rode one about 2 weeks ago as a courtesy bike, while the K1300S was being serviced and I want one too. I have to be easily twice your age and I really want one. I don't think I'd ever make the hipster set, don't think I really want to. :) But I really want one. :)

Love the look and sound of these, excited to test drive one in the spring.

I love the look of this bike and I'm waiting to hear about a test ride. not sure I could trade the panigale in for it tho.
Two beasts of different natures. You'll definitely miss one if you pick the other. Best to save for both.
There a bloody good looking bike
Thanx for the review, perhaps the next bike :) Do you have any more pictures of the blue one? (at 6:13)
Spicy, had a go on the 2016 daytona? Would be interested in hearing your opinion on them, specifically the 675R.
Balls into the tank, never heard that before, nice one!
Ref the height thing, riding right up against the tank is lazy anyway(ignoring Supermoto where you ride in the dip) so being back further is much better. In my opinion.
Sounds like you liked it spicy..I rode one & loved it but it's a lot of money might get a yam xsr700 for now
+appymarley very good bike. And defo cheaper lol
From my experience, it really performs well being thrashed around. Also, the torque wasn't that big of an issue for me, coming from a T120 (torquey as fucking hell).
you should review the new one!
Enjoyed review. Is a gorgeous bike. Curious your thoughts about its "practical cousin" the r1200r. Not as pretty but very functional and flexible.
Hi, I though of buying the r1200r for a long time for the same reasons. It is faultless but IMHO doesn't excell anywhere. It's fast but it's not a sports bike.

I would like to know not having a slipper clutch driving quite briskly what are the chances of the rear wheel locking up?

This was uploaded Aug 2016, so as far as I know this is a standard 2016 R9T

review a bandit 1200/1250 please :)
Hey Spicy. I own one. I totally agree it is the best feeling riding it. I've tried various setups. I've taken the pillion pegs off and had exhaust bracket and ridden it like a bobber. Looked great. I've now added the Rizoma side arm tail tidy with the bullet indicators with integrated brake lights. I love it. I'll try to send you some pics if I can.
how far are you getting from a tank?
I get about 160-180 miles for a full tank.
Mabs Motovlogs thank you.
Top stuff! :)
0:56 It pulls all the bitches!
"All the girls love the beat like this"
Will be mine soon
It's a nice looking bike, but I just look at those cylinder heads and I know they're going to be grounded.... I'd need protection bars.
I'm 6'2, 105kg. Am I Too tall for it?? It looks absolutely beautiful. wouldn't mind changing the seat if possible.

ok so now I'm going to have to book myself a ride on then. :-)
Ethan Hunt feeling coming soon.👍
Jeez, that engine is wider than the bars... I imagine that's a very expensive repair job if you clip a car while filtering.
+6Twisted naa not at all in videos to come I filter the bike and it's fine.
spicy110 But have you clipped a car yet? That was the point I was trying to make, when it does happen there's a good chance you'll crack the engine.
The BMW boxer twin engine does not stick out that much you won't clip a car with it.
Bars is wider then the engine
Suzuki gsx s1000 for half price or the BMW r nine t ? my mind tells me Suzuki and heart BMW
+Mohamed Essam depends on what you want to to do. Totaly different bikes, but money isn't easy to come by so.....
Is it really much different from any 70s, 80s or 90s naked boxer engine BMW?
Andrew Mack great question
Spicy I'll buy you 5!
BMW won't let me test ride one cos I recently passed my test. Unless you have a garage, money and use of another vehicle then this bike is not ideal.
What cc is it
1200
+martinnmartin thanks
Now I know
I love the r nine t! Just did an exhaust upgrade. Check it out if you want :)
brakes might need bleeding perhaps.
+Celt Davies no its the same on this bike as it was on the other one I rode. That was my thought in the first but the second was exactly the same and I'm not the first to notice this as it turns out
Not very good on bmws behalf. Lovely looking bike though.
if it's got the same linked brakes as the R1200 RS reverse bleed the rear brake with the front brake applied firmly.

Spicy110,
I've had 3 BMWs, starting out in 1979. Please ask "Red Renna" Phil Tonic + "Captain Rambunctios" to watch coverage of T 120 + BMW R90R on "Sidestand," RUclips.
I subscribe to all of you.

HELLO!!!
+Jordan Durham howdy
Get the subs up and save your pennies and one day it will be yours.
I love that bike, but that boxer engine and manifold is soooo ridiculously ugly as fuck! The GS can pull it off because the body ties in with it nicely, but this... The motor killed the style IMO
tour de lycra..lmao!
WHHAAATTTT!!!
£12000!!!!
+Jordan Durham it's a bmw 1200 I did say it wasn't cheap
its less than 20k, so compared to a decent car it is cheap.
and its a naked roadster not my cup of tea plus its a twin ugh!!
£ 11,900 too much for me
you said Rider AIDS fnar fnar :)
First
Treat it nicely he says.....what a laugh.
The bike is made to be thrashed....i should know ....i have one 👍
Why did it feel to me like bunch of excuses to justify owning this bike? If you have to work that hard to convince yourself then it’s not worth it at all.
What do you mean? Im just reviewing the bike giving my opinion of it. It has pros and cons like all bikes.
It didn’t sound to me like you would spend your own money on buying this bike.

Such an ugly engine...but even that can't ruin the look of this bike. Would love to try one.
Good luck achieving the new dream :)
