Why does this guy’s videos get so many down votes? What am I missing?
I appreciate your comment! Thanks for watching Ryan.
The top 5 reasons why he bought a BMW R nineT start at 3:19...
"No maintenance on the final drive", you are in for a surprise!
I bought my R nineT yesterday! 🔥🔥 👊🏼 👊🏼 From Gothenburg Sweden🤙🏼🤙🏼 Salute to everyone on this Channel! 🔥 🔥 👊🏼 👊🏼 Peace 👑👑👑
Yaaaass!! Congrats 🙌 enjoy every moment with it! Cheers!
Envious! Enjoy brother I'm getting her in a couple of months! Safe rides
Save drive brother!!
I bought a CB1000-R two months ago from Wisconsin 🙂 brand new 2019 Red one. On sale $10,000 down from $13,000. I bought it cash. I am a Honda guy 🤗 congrats to you Pal👏 😎🤙BMW is a quality machine. But i only prefer Honda & Triumph.
I think BMW sat back watching the retro scramble craze by it's competitors and said "yeah, we can do better". I think the whole R9T is really interesting. I am more of a minimalist. These bikes just as functional motorcycles really stand out in the current day of over tech in motorcycles. They are definitely bikes you could ride off into the sunset with.
Absolutely! I need to start stacking up my collection & be like you 😉. You go on some pretty awesome trails. One day I will visit..
Agree. I bought an R9T Pure a couple months ago, and I love the simplicity of it. But it’s also a very capable machine. It’s a real joy to ride, too!
Bought mine last Thursday. Delivery time probably 8-10 Weeks, due to Corona. Can't wait!!!!!
Nice. Good luck with it when it arrives. Stay safe. 👍🏼
@@hacCoooo You too, thanks! :)
5. 3:29 - looks
4. 4:34 - shaft drive for maintenance
3. 6:42 - timeless design
2. 7:43 - riding position is upright
1. 8:35 - flat twin boxer engine
Thanks for saving me some time.
When I first saw the R nine T Pure, I knew this was the bike for me. I completely agree with your top 5 reasons for buying a BMW R nine T, except my top 2 would be the engine and exhaust sound. How I love the growling sound. If the looks don't turn heads, then the sound of the R nine T will. I live in Denmark where winters are wet and cold. So waiting for the summer to return can seem like an eternity. This one is a keeper. Even more so after I had a custom paint job done. Keep riding safe you guys and keep up the content, sidestand. 😊
Yes! Agree with the engine & exhaust notes, it's very distinctive. It should've been Top 6 haha. Thanks for watching & glad you're enjoying. What color did you end up painting it?
@@sidestandThe gas tank and front fender is painted mat (gun) grey with M sport strips down the sides.
Not the fastest, however, definitely the MOST fun bike I've ever had. I'll keep her forever.
Love the positive energy! I am saving for my nineT pure and hopefully soon!
You got this! You'll be very happy with it, thanks for watching.
@@sidestand Oh my god.....it took a long time but I finally have my Nine T pure and it rides like a dream. Worth the wait strait from Berlin!
Thanks for the review I’ve just been and bought one, wish me luck
Was so close to getting the Pure but went with the F900R after falling in love with it after the test ride. Love the channel, keep up the good work.
Right on! Thanks for watching.
I was just talking to some other motovlogger friends about how good your intro is. Keep up the great work man.
Cool! I really appreciate that, thank you!
New subscriber, collected my 2020 R9T scrambler two weeks ago and can’t get the grin off my face. I agree with your top 5 absolutely, and find the dynamics of the bike match its looks. Coming off a R1200RT having cut back on my long distance touring, I find this bike perfect for riding the beautiful Adelaide hills here in South Australia. Cheers and stay safe 👍🇦🇺
Adelaide Hills scrambler rider as well...
Welcome to my channel! Enjoy your R9T, it’s an amazing bike. Cheers! Stay safe!
Bike is not best bike ever, but have soul and will keep mine too.
Fellow R nineT rider in Santa Monica here! Let's ride sometime!
I bought my 2020 Pure in Spring 2020, put 4,500 miles on it last summer and love it more every ride. Simple, performance that keeps me connected to the riding experience is my feelings on this bike.
When you say “maintenance is absolutely ZERO on a shaft drive”. Make sure you change the fluid every once in a while (say 10k miles)
I appreciate the tip!
Your top 5 reasons plus a few more are why I bought an R9T Pure a couple months ago. I shopped many bikes and test rode several this year and finally decided on this one. I like it more every time I ride it!
I like the gloves you are wearing. Brand and price?
What I like about my Rninet is the amazingly smooth sift from neutral to 1st.
Cool. I just rented one of these on a trip to LA. They didn't have the bike I requested so I got this one instead -- and I frikkin' loved it. Took me a while to learn, you gotta shift a lot sooner, keep the revs medium-low for greatest torque. At 85 mph, it just purrs in 6th, and you have ample passing power without downshifting. In the canyons, you can just leave it in 3rd gear, you have good engine braking and plenty of power to pull out of the turns. Very nimble handling on twisty roads or in city traffic. And the bike just looks and sounds so badass. I got a lot of compliments from other riders. I'm like, yeah I wish it was mine.
Awesome! Yeah that bike is just full of charm, nothing quite like it. You should get one! Thanks for watching.
I have the same bike and like you will probably keep it for years, it’s timeless, I need to add a few mods, twin clock and a different can but all and all it’s perfect 👌 love the your vids keep it going ....peace 👊
Yes! Twin clocks is a must at least for me. Thanks for watching!
Shift drives are not maintenance free. They're less maintenance. Every 100,000 miles you need to change the gear oil and the seals. I had a BMW K1200R from 2006, which i put 43000 miles on it and i never had an issue. I rode it for 5 years, commuted as I bought it used. I will say that the shift drive does need to get some heat into it for it to perform best. I liked riding and when I'd be out for 2 hours, at the end of the ride and on the way back(4+ hours) the feeling in the transmission and rear end, perfect shifts. The shift drive is amazing
Keep it up Sidestand! Always enjoy your vids and positive vibes. One downside....your channel is costing me money 😂 Added a Rev counter to my 2019 Scrambler after seeing your video and currently making up my mind if I will go for the Oberon or Unit Garage handle bar mirrors...🤘
Thank you! Haha much appreciated. I’m very happy with my Oberon mirrors, I don’t think you could go wrong either way.
finally a great channel with my dream bike !!!
I love your videos, I've just bought a BMW RnineT, 2016 because of yours and Boris inspiration 👍 Keep up the great work
Awesome! Thank you & congrats. Enjoy it!
Is that 87 octane you just filled there? 😮😮😮🤯
The US market's R9T is made to run 87-octane from the factory. If you really wanted to, you could put 89; however, using 91/93 would be a waste of money.
first when I saw this bike was a year ago in Spain, and I couldnt stop looking at it:D. Right now I have a 89 Harley sportster, wich I have for 6 years now, I fixed a lOOOT of stuf on this bike, last maintance job was te carb, had it cleaned new gaskets, it started ....ran....every thing seemed fine, parked 20 min, wanted to leave, didnt start.......now its sitting in my garage for a good 4 months now....before that a year, over the last 6 years I pumped 4k in it...and still its sitting in my garage...good old Harleys....yea.....perhaps ill fix it one more time, and sell it ..its my 1st bike, so yea its a lill difficult, bud I want to have a R nine, looks fresh, better brakes better everything, sure turned my head for a good 10 min staring at it :D. cool vid man! sub!
What kind of Kamera do you have, what kind of Biking Jeans and what kind of Helmet glasses?
Thanks for you videos 🤙🤙
Hay Sidestand....I've been waiting for a vid from you. You do make me laugh. When I passed I was looking at the BMW RnineT or the Harley 883. I ended up with the Harely more for the price but I love the old school look but I keep lusting over the BMW. Soon as lock down gets lifted I'm head to the local dealer. Look forward to the 5 negatives if there are any haha 👍🏼
Haha right on! I also had a HD Sportster...when you go on that 9T test ride, you might not want to get off 😉 good luck & thanks for watching!
This bike is so beautiful ... saw it at the dealer!! Damn!!
It sure is! You should get one!
sidestand whats does it costs in yr country ? You can get one here in europe for about 9k 2014 model
The going rate right now for a used 2014 is 10k
sidestand almost same... save drive bro!!
Soon i will have one !! Or the Yamaha xsr900
😉
Came for the R nine T content, stayed for the ✨vibes✨
Only good vibes here! Glad you're enjoying.
nothing on this planet beats the boxer wiggle. you can't explain to anyone how it feels when you push that ignition button. it's like a wild animal shaking itself before the ride. it feels so organic; like a living thing.
Yes! Couldn't have said it better myself. The organic, boxer wiggle. Love it!
I love that under the gloves are.... more gloves!! Lol stay safe!
Always! Lol
Love the colour. Sweet ride,mate👍
Its a good looking bike. Once this Corona b.s. clear up. I'm getting my license, and this is one the bikes I like.
Yes! Good luck. Thanks for watching.
Same. I plan on getting this as a first bike
Sidestand, I enjoy watching your videos. I agree with your reasoning on why to own a BMW flat twin. I own two older R1150R's and post ride videos on my RUclips channel as well. While I live in Idaho, I recognize the streets, highways and canyons presented in your videos. I have close family in Granada Hills who I visit 2-3 times each year. We enjoy heading into the hills for hikes and to get away from the city. Stay safe.
Awesome! I gave you a sub, let me know when you're in town!
Thanks for the sub. Might be some time before I'm able to travel out of state, unfortunately. Like many, I'm working from home at present, able to take short rides, but discouraged from doing out of state travel by my employer. I had several trips planned for summer that may not happen. Oh well. Keep sharing the videos.
It’s great to see you again in the road dude. PEACE!!!
Right on! Thanks for watching, ride safe.
i bought a nine t pure last week because of this video....
Cool jacket, I bought the brown version of the same one a few weeks ago after watching many reviews of other jackets. It came down to this one and the Klim Marrakesh. The Klim is fantastic but this revit was a lot less $ and from what I could tell would be cooler, which I need for Atlanta summers.
It's a great jacket for sure. The price was just an icing on the cake, thanks for watching!
Just casually almost dying at 7:33 😂😮
No kidding! Lmao
Intro and "GOOOOOOOD MORNING!!"
ME: Yea, imma subscribe to this
Hey, great videos and updates of your bike. I own a pure as well, change the color, and completely fall in love with it. Couldn´t agree more with you: I´m keeping this bike, I´m 47 and I don´t need anything else, perhaps a used GS for longer trips (I live in South America so road trips are quite cool). Keep up the good work and vibes!
Thanks, will do!
You can skip to 3:25 :) for the start of the reasons
Hey @sidestand nice video as usual, by the way just as a precautionary measure you shouldn't take your protective gloves by the bottom lip of them because you are sliding your thumb over your hand as you are taking them off, you should pinch at the palm over the glove. Keep safe and keep the shiny side up!
Will do! Thanks for the info! Ride safe.
definitely a lovely bike! but for me it could be even more "modern classic" like theTriumph Speed Twin, have you ridden one?
stay healthy ✌️
Not yet, I'd like to test drive one of these days! Thanks for watching.
I just bought a r ninet and previously owned a triumph bobber. I think it's the same engine (tuned differently) as the speed twin. The bmw feels more powerful, but they're both great engines. I loved l the bobber. I'd still have it if I didn't crash...
Love your channel my girl and I watch your episodes and feel alive...love your dialogue and style and your bike of course... we ride a 09 moto Guzzi V7 classic up her in Canada southern Ontario cheers
Much appreciated! I’m glad to hear you guys are getting good vibes from my content, very motivating. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Do you think it would be good idea to get this beauty for cross country ? İ love it, the sound, handling, look soo beautiful. İf not this i will get 750 GS. Any idea ?
Are you using crash bars for the engine protection? If yes which model you may suggest? Thanks.
No crash bars here, I don't really like the look of it. I'm using the OEM BMW Plastic Cylinder Head Cover Guards. You can find it here: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bmw-plastic-cylinder-head-cover-guards-r-nine-t-2014-2018?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhtT1BRCiARIsAGlY51KLSCuuZcf9dJVQbNDCX4ogDgK4LSf5dEkq-cN0BDqcTlAdLz9q05EaAuywEALw_wcB
I got rizoma.... but no matter which ones you use, the best boxer engine is a naked boxer engine (unless u got a GS). But those bars saved me many times.
Oh I have a great idea!!! Let's spend $300+ on a new back tire and leave half of it on the side of the road... makes sense to me SMH. Could you do it with a mixer? Probably. But why? The fun is in the ride, not the show off. I had a 2008 R1200R. lots of similarities in power and handling. It wasn't the best in any category, but it was really great in many of them. And it made it so fun to ride!! I just bought a 2020 R1250RT Exclusive. Picking it up next week in Portland Or. when I get back home. But even still, I keep my eyes peeled for a R nine T or an older R1200R, just for that fun factor. They put a smile on your face without having to push it to its limits. I used to be into sport bikes. Mostly Kawasakis. The "fun" there was in the adrenaline rush from pushing it to the very edge. With the small boxers, you don't have to do that and still have a damn good time! Kinda like my little Mini Cooper. you dont have to drive fast and crazy, just to enjoy driving it. like a little go cart.
I can't wait to pick up my new baby though!! I've been in Germany for almost 6 years. It's about time I came home and saw my own country for awhile!!
Right on! The RT is an amazing bike. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful bike bro
love the music! 🎶
What camera you using and how did you mount it?
Cool retro, uncomfortable as hell, especially after 75 miles, fun bike if u have another bike like a goldwing, overpriced, cant do to much with a naked bike, killer looks, decent handling, no chain is nice, maintenance is not zero, final drive oil change requirements, check ur manual, you'll be on a r1200rt in no time, bars are wide, pegs are high, nice review though, had that bike hated it lol bought a r1200rt,
So far since 2017 here in Ontario Canada I have never seen another Pure...It's cool I get so so so many people at stop lights and parking lots say my bike is cool. Funny thing is also the second pick I was going to buy was a Triumph T120 and I've never run into someone riding one.
You certainly have great taste! I’ve seen 2 of both here.
@@sidestand Still glad I picked our bike the Triumphs are too top heavy when you have a bike like that for a while its the times when you have to wheel it about in a parking lot fighting balance is tiring...and our bike sounds awesome.
" share commonality,
fuck all the separation BS "
if i had not liked this video already before this statement, the thumbs up would just HAVE to come at this moment.
more important than ever . thanks a ton.
btw great combination of nice rides, tons of funny self comments and serious stuff that does not come judgy or unchilled on this channel.
i like it a lot.
thank you and enjoy the ride, which life itself basically is at the end of the day :-)
greetingz \m/,
Marius
Much appreciated brother 🤙 Thanks for the kind words and glad you’re enjoying!
Which year is this bike?
It’s a 2017
ur videos are simply the best! Send me a shout out on the next one.
Big fan!
OG subscriber! Right on Mat! I do need to do a shout video some day, there's several on my list. Thanks for staying with me 🙌
Totally agree with you eventhough the looks is subjective, I own r9t too, it's a great bike. Thanks for the video
No problem 👍
I don’t understand why you stopped at the petrol station?
I normally fuel up before any ride as a habit. I forgot I filled up on my last ride a while ago. Thanks for watching!
I read that there is no petrol gauge in the dashboard. Is this true?
Yes, this is true unfortunately.
Is there a big difference between the brakes in the Nine T Pure compared to those of the original Nine T?
Thanks
Yes there is a difference. The original has radial brakes & the Pure has axial. Radially mounted brakes has some benefits l.
Are you on the pure, and if so, did you retrofit that rev counter?
It looks like the pure, the twin clocks are an easy upgrade, don't the price though.
Sidestand, what kind of gloves do you wear? Because those are not the ones in the link in the description! Welcome back 🙏🏽
Thanks for the warm welcome! I need to remember to update that, but here is the link: www.retrobikegear.com/torc-beverly-hills-leather-gloves-red/
a new video from you! amazing! now let's watch it...
Hope you like it! Thanks
do they still sell the racer or you gotta buy a racer kit for a standard bike?
I don't think they sell the racer anymore. That racer kit looks tempting...hmmm
sidestand clip-ons, racer kit, a big fat beard and a cigar? 🤔
Not to be rude, could you not use such a harsh brown filter for colour. Love your videos though haha
No worries! I appreciate the feedback. I think my newer videos solved this.
@@sidestand You're right bro, new videos look crispy!
Love these videos and love the R NineT Pure. Any chance of a comparison with the Scrambler?
If I get a chance to test ride one I definitely will! Thanks for watching.
You ever hit light trails in this bike? I live in southern California as well. I can't wait to get my motorcycle license
Ive been on the verge of buying this bike for the last 3 days! Wresting back and forth with the decision, it is just a bit pricey! I test drove this exact one a few days ago, but I am pretty sure I am going to buy it! Was the tail tidy hard to install ?
I really appreciate the work you put into the great videos. I have a 2017 RnineT and love it. Is your kick-stand aftermarket? If so do you have a link to it? (Could have said side-stand I realize...)
Much appreciated lol! My "kickstand" is stock. I don't think I'll change it. Thanks for watching.
Boxer for ever !!
Yaaaasss!
Nice nice. What about comparison with the triumph speed twin?
I'd have to test ride it! Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi! Would you recommend a BMW r nine t pure, a moto guzzi V7, or a royal enfield Continental GT 650. All timeless classics, and all have an amazing style and look. I’m torn. I know you’re probably in favor of the bmw obviously but I guess I’d just like your thoughts on this ! Can’t decide!
Thanks!
Mike
Gonna buy this 'cause Tom Cruise rode this in Fallout
Haha yes!
how tall are you? i want this bike but am scared it will be too small. I'm 6' 2"
How tall are you bro?
5’11”
I have my eye on the R Ninet. Question, what equipment do you use to record your vlogs?
I know that it is kinda embarrassing question, but hey, I am a beginner
so did you drop it?
and if you did I am worried about those cylinders
Hey, I am considering buying this bike instead of a new monster but being used to the old Ducati Monsters, I don't know if I can get used to the sound and weight of the bike. It sounds more laid back if I have to describe it. Just can't ignore how good looking the Nine t is...
I have a thing for Ducatis.... but the nineT is timeless for me. One I'll add a Duc to my stable.
How does this compare to a T100/T120?
I've got an XSR900 and absolutely love the bike, however the retro styling of the bonnevilles and that 270 degree twin, has got me considering a switch. Do you think it's a worth-while change?
How does the R nineT compare to the bonnevile?
I've never ridden the XSR900 so it would be hard for me to compare. Against the Bonnie however, the nineT is much more confident inspiring around a mountain pass.
Deciding between the r9t and s1000r. I like the uniqueness but I feel like s1000 would be more nimble and better for city. What are your thoughts
Also nice video, really enjoy your personality
I’ve test ridden the s1000r and also did a review on it here. It’s lighter & nimbler than the nineT, but both are completely different bikes. You can’t go wrong with either. Good luck with your choice!
@@sidestand thanks for your input
When I bought my nine t I was told to use premium fuel
Yes use premium. It's in the manual, it's recommended from the factory, it's recommended by level 3 BMW certified technicians, use it.
It's a highly engineered bike, not a Russian rifle. One small thing out of tolerance and it throws a fit
hmmm..my manual says 87. 🤔
@@sidestand mines 93 and stated "will run on 87 but not recommended"
@@deadlyapollo Depending on the tune the bikes have different octane recommendations. My bike is a 2018 and it uses 87. I see the 2020 bikes recommend premium. My manual also states that using higher octane will decrease mileage and performance if higher octane is used. Go figure.
At 6:20 did you say “fuck all this separation bullshit” in reference to corona virus?
Yes because this Quarantine shit is fucking stupid for a flu that's 96% survivable.
Heart disease and cancer you should worry about, not a flu with a side effect of pneumonia
I was referencing to Moto prejudice. I think everyone should ride together no matter what bike you're on. Life's short, smell the roses 😀
sidestand ahh I see. I’m glad I checked. Thanks. Be safe.
Only problem I have with them is the engine is so wide
What brand of jacket are u using??
good bike i own the racer version but no were near the clasicss
The racer is an awesome bike. Thanks for watching!
Video starts at 3:20
how's the reliability on that bike? I have not owned a BMW motorcycle before but had a bad experience with a 128i coupe.
I have had 3 BMW motorcycles. They are top quality German machines.
i have a question is fit at 5'5 height?
You should be able to, the seat height is low enough.
ur feeding it 87? u sure ? theres only probably 2 or 3 bucks difference
hell yeah on #4 shaft drive is why I bought my Moto Guzzi
Right on! Your Moto Guzzi has alot of flavor! I test rode that & loved it. Thanks for watching.
Octane 87...?? What the krauts think about that?
paul rudd riding a bike be like :
Haha
The fuck was that guy doing hanging out of the car?
Those were my thoughts exactly 😂 it never fails to encounter something interesting when I go out for a ride.
We’ll see just how much use the R9T gets after you get your sport bike!
It’ll add variety to the channel!
This is kinda sad. The R NineT is the whoem reason I watch. Almost every other motovlogger rides a sports bike..
Don’t worry the NineT will get more camera time 😉
87 octane?
The biggest gripe for me being an Indian is that, can't own this beauty or the Z900rs :( It's ridiculously priced (26K $) and the after sales/service from BMW is a joke. :( Except Honda all other SBK manufacturers scam their customers here.
Dang..that sucks! If I had enough wealth in this world, I would buy you one. Real talk. Thanks for watching.
So jealous at those mountains, everything is just flat here.
Ahh bummer..where are you from?
@@sidestand I'm from belgium, the north part which is pretty flat.
@@burtinator85 I literally just went on google earth and flew around, beautiful place but I see what you mean! If you ever find your way here, I'll be happy to ride with you through these mountains.
Is 12k miles on this engine a lot?
Not a lot....go for it
