I have a 2015 and it's phenomenal. BMW makes amazing motorcycles, this bike is bullet proof, simple and rewarding when you ride it. 4th gear at 40mph and grab a hand full of throttle and hang on! 110 hp 88 ft lbs torque in a sub 500 lb bike is awesome. BUY ONE! You won't regret it.
Appreciate the feedback. I'm really trying to figure out whether I want to consolidate to one bike and this would be it, if that were the case. So, yeah... I've got some choices mull over 🤔
Great bike. Have 2020 model and really enjoy the ride. It is just perfect: built quality, handling, sound, everything… Not to mention that it looks amazing.
Hey! I thought that was you last Friday. I didn't know for sure until now. Lol. I wanted to ride the R9T but the way the rides were scheduled I didn't get a chance. That was the first time I've ever rode a BMW. I rode the R18 and the K1600. I really like the K1600. Anyways. Great videos and ride safe!
I've rode the R18 and thought it was really nice. And the K 1600 was really impressive. I rode it last Friday, too and I'll have a video up in the near future. Next time, you'll know it's me and you can introduce yourself ✌🏽🤓
Get one you will not regret it overall it’s an amazing fun good looking bike 😎and you don’t find many RUclipsr’s with regular video uploading have this bike👍🏽
It's definitely on my short list. I love the look, really like the performance, and especially like how much you change up the look (if you couldn't tell by the video 😆).
It's definitely on the short list. If I don't end up going the adventure bike, or electric bike route for my next bike, the R nineT will probably be the one. I love the Svartpillen. Haven't had the opportunity to ride one, but if one arises, I'll definitely go for it.
I have one of these bikes he just can’t go wrong with a purchase I bought mine from pikes Peak motorsports in Colorado Springs they take great care of my bike and my knees for anything else that I have in motorcycle associated
I'm surprised I don't see more on the road, because it's one of my favorites. If I can find one used with the options I like for a good value, I'll likely own in the future. It's a tad overpriced new, IMO.
I've had six GS' over the years- 1100GS, 2- 1150GSA's, 1200GS, 1200GSA oil cooled and now a 1200GSA Water Cooled... I've put at least 30k miles on each, all trouble free, but I miss the "oil cooled" version of the 1200...in fact I even miss the "agricultural" feel of the old 1150's! As I am no longer "touring", I m thinking I might have to get a 1200 RnineT Urban- Just hoping they bring back the white color again...
Yeah, I love the options and features on the 2022 but none of the colors or paint schemes really grab my attention. The white was really nice, and I loved the orange from '19 line-up.
Beware mate! I bought one around 2 months ago.....and love it...but didnt realise just how many parts and upgrades you can guy for them.....it can turn into a very expensive toy.....terrific bike though...
I rode Sportsters for years and never had a fuel gauge. It caused a bit of anxiety at first, but you get good at tracking with the trip meter. I mean, if the one of the biggest negatives on a retro-styled bike is that it doesn't have a fuel gauge, I think it's got a lot going for it. No? I do think it should have one, but I loved virtually everything else about this bike, so that wasn't something that came to mind.
Totally agree they are overall a great machine, so much so that I have one. Just making the point it would have been much better with a fuel gauge & being a retro bike is no excuse for not having it.
I was in the saddle for about 1/2 hour and it still felt comfy. There are definitely options for more cushy and ergonomic seats for the R nineT, so at least there's that. 🤓
@@petermiller8634 True, the seat's not very good. I took the skin off mine, added a 2 cm foam pad and then re-stapled the same cover back on. It made the world of difference. It's just fine now for all day riding. Total cost, under $20. Took about 3 hours to do.

It's #1 on my wishlist right now.
Mate, very nice video, well done! That's themost comprehensive one that I saw at RUclips.
Thank you. Appreciate your support. I'm heavily considering adding the R nineT to the garage. 🤔
@@thatoneguymoto mee too!

Don’t consider it. Do it. I loved mine. What else are you considering ? Have you ever tried the Discontinued Svartpillen ???

Still mulling it over. And I love my 1290 SDR, so I may stick with it.

I have not tried the Svartpillen, but I do love the design of that bike.

No mention of one of the biggest negatives on this bike - no fuel gauge WTF !!!

I test rode one and my ass was numb from the seat after 30min. Otherwise great bike.

Agreed that the standard seat is uncomfortable after an hour. It’s annoying that for an expensive bike BMW couldn’t put a quality seat on it.

Fine machine, but i look like a giant on a child bike on it. But it look slick and smart.

I've always had tall friends (compared to me) so I've heard that complaint a lot. 😆
