I had the pleasure of riding an Urban G/S ~1000 miles through New Zealand, the character and charm of this bike is unmatched. No tach, no gas gauge, just a speedo and heated grips.
I was just out on my 2015 R NineT thinking about reviewers who talk about "wind". Topic seems to come up in so many motorcycle reviews on so many different bikes, but does anyone actually have issues with it? I can cruise 1 hand on the bars at 80MPH on the fwy with zero issues from wind. Even on tank emptying rides at speed, wind is never an issues. Granted, I always wear ear plugs so wind noise impact is minimal. I understand folks on big baggers/touring bikes doing major miles wanting wind protection, and certainly sport bikes at "fun speed" benefit from it, but for most bikes on most miles ridden, is it really an issue? The whole point of motorcycles for me is to experience the world while I ride. If I don't want wind, I drive my car.
You should definitely give the standard R NineT a ride. Still a simple gauge cluster but includes the tachometer. I don't think you are feeling suspension movement from the shaft drive. The rev induced movement to the right really disappears at anything above parking lot speeds. The R NineT is just a tabla rosa for modders.
now that chase has found the charm of the R Nine T....he needs to review the R Nine T pure or at least a option 719 Aluminium. well just to get a feel of the bike and comparison hehehe 😈
I was surprised at how much i liked the 719 opt rninet, being 6 foot 2 it wasnt too bad but for thw price I went with the 1250 RS, I wanted to have more room and more options for storage. Love the boxer sport bike combo.
Definitely looking into the R NineT as my next bike, im getting bored of all the parallel twins & a liter bike just isnt practical for me. And as i live on a dirt road & want to do some light offroad exploration the Scrambler or Urban GS is right up my alley 🥰
oc new here, amazing videos . bike definitely should had a big analog rpm gauge and gear indicator . Love the rims and the mods. The exhaust valve is a must imo! The low rpm torque is good, helps with traffic a lot if your point to point has a lot of traffic lights (although i prefer lighter bikes) A bit sceptical about the boxer engine tho. I remember a 911s had rly a nasty leftside swing. With 1st gear the right turns was scary af, the entire chassis was moving just by revving it. Definitely not ideal on a bike, (bad weather conditions and not expecting it) How you tolerate that weather in a suit 😂 , respect!
aren't most bikes really just "cars and coffee" bikes? Unless you are touring, tracking, or off roading, bikes are just a fun way to get around and eliminate traffic concerns...
So much potential.. in what you could have done with this video. Did you assume everyone was looking at your text on the video on a desktop or laptop. How might anyone read the actual text on a mobile device. Are 90% of your viewers on Google Chrome? Do some use the RUclips app on their iPhone, android mobile, iPad mini… ? Let’s put text on the screen that 25% - 60% can’t actually read ?! Start in rain mode. ( before you BURN DOWN ) What does ‘ Burn Down’ mean for people who are not living in the USA . ? Do 50% of your viewers live outside the continent that they call North America ( Americans think they are the centre of the universe ??? ) Road mode ( no explanation for what restrictions are enforced by the BMW programming) Who cares about a rare , local, custom exhaust ‘ Dr Jeckal and Mr Hyde’ hardware muffler(slip on exhaust) If it’s electronic for all users.. tell us If it’s about a local ( rare ) hardware muffler.. the global audience, has to tune out.. Imagine hearing about a local , rare, custom muffler that is used by a small community in a back corner of Alaska.. why would the viewers across the rest of the planet care ? We all know the boxer engine is special, is unique and full of torque. Things we already know: Tell us it’s 2024 ! Tell us it’s a German engine.. tell us more rubbish.. what will a global generic viewer want hear.. we want to hear what YOU found, not this sheet ! We know the engine is GREAT
Glad we could change your mind on the R NineT, Wunderlich definitely outdid themselves on this build. Lets do some more riding!🤘
Where did you get the tach?
@@revd4461 All the parts are from Wunderlich and it's fixed now haha just an easy fix and it works perfectly.
Finally… Chase has found the charm of the R NineT. Welcome brother 😂

How is heated grip okay but tach isn't
@@rayhan4502 bc you don’t need a tach and heated grips are wonderful in the rain, cold mornings, etc
@@kernalsharp and you don't need a heated grip, also tach are wonderful for shifting and gas gauge are wonderful to estimate range and stuff
@@rayhan4502 different strokes for different folks 🤷♂️

Dude, I completely agree!

I just seen that bike in Redmond Oregon at the BMW national rally. Nice!
Are you in central Oregon. I'm a NineT rider in Bend.
Such a classic one❤️🔥
I love my 2023 scrambler! I had to purchase the rev counter with the gear indicator separately. I don’t have the cruise control.
now that chase has found the charm of the R Nine T....he needs to review the R Nine T pure or at least a option 719 Aluminium. well just to get a feel of the bike and comparison hehehe 😈
Proud to be in the OC!
Bike looks great.
OC great review. Just picked up a 2023 R9T Scrambler and the 1st modification will be an Ohlins rear shock - amazing bike, but it needs it. 😉
I was surprised at how much i liked the 719 opt rninet, being 6 foot 2 it wasnt too bad but for thw price I went with the 1250 RS, I wanted to have more room and more options for storage. Love the boxer sport bike combo.

OC! Love my R NineT classic with lowered bars Werkes exhaust and upgrades suspension componenets.
Hope you get a chance to try the r12 nine t and r12
oc new here, amazing videos . bike definitely should had a big analog rpm gauge and gear indicator .
Love the rims and the mods.

I like the r9t but the the dash is so basic to me. Dual pods with more readouts to me would be nice.
OC, bwoi! ;) I'm on Team Rev Meter as well, so that'd be my main mod.
super cool looking and sounding bike. bit out of my price range though lol holy moly
OC: that's a pricey list of mods for a "cars and coffee" bike lol
aren't most bikes really just "cars and coffee" bikes? Unless you are touring, tracking, or off roading, bikes are just a fun way to get around and eliminate traffic concerns...
Is that Royal Enfield headlight and Himalayan 411 Visor?😂
gees, you have any turns over there...
I love how he says " It's a church parking lot" then immediately goes "HELL YEAH!" 😂😂
