After nearly a year in the saddle, we’re ready to lay out our favorite features on the R nineT Scrambler, plus a few areas where BMW might have missed the mark.
--
Retro bikes are all the rage these days, and BMW has jumped on the bandwagon with a fleet of R nineT-based machines that capture the look of the ’60s and ’70s. The R nineT Scrambler I’ve been riding for the last 10 months is modeled after the on/off-roaders of yesteryear with a high muffler, knobby tires, old-school fork gators, and that classy tan bench seat.
There’s no denying it’s a good-looking piece of equipment, but every rose has its thorns, as they say. In this video we hit the highs and the lows of this model, offering you a snapshot of the things BMW nailed and the areas where it missed the mark.

I like this new series. Pretty concise and straight to the point. Keep it up guys!!!!

@BucketWheat 6 лет назад

I appreciate how you Sacrifice yourself for us by riding all those different motorcycles ... We Know you are doing it for US! (Smile) My Brother-in-Law to-be, years ago, had a Honda Scrambler 305... Yes it was heavy and the high pipe on the right side nearly always left a scorched spot on our jeans, and our knee. But it was such a blast to just simply PLAY with! We didn't have to 'race' anyone...we simply road places we wouldn't dream of taking our 'street bikes'... and that is pretty much how I started riding... When I went into the USMC and got a steady -- but Very Small -- paycheck I bought a Yamaha DT250 'Enduro' ...and road that thing nearly to its death, from 400 mile road trips to hours and hours of dirt roads and logging trails, and cow pastures. I really like the versatility of a "scrambler" -- comfortable enough as a 'commuter', smooth enough for a ride in the country, and if your country road turns into a dirt road, that's okay to. And yet -- with good shocks & forks and better 'dual-purpose' tires -- you can still have pretty good fun on a twisty road!

I've never seen a "favorites & fails" on your channel...but I definitely enjoyed it! 👍👍

@AriH211 6 лет назад

It's a new series. Glad you like it!

@andrewdok 6 лет назад

It's definitely a good idea. Keep 'em comin!

@Real_MisterSir 6 лет назад

Yes please, more of this! I trust very few other moto journalists to do unbiased, short, to-the-point reviews of bikes. This short video contained so much information that really is all you need to decide whether you are into a bike or not. We all gotta test ride them before buying anyways, so this short review style is fresh and very valuable. Keep it up Ari! - and the rest of the crew :)

@corujariousa 6 лет назад

Thank you for the down to earth comments. The ones about breaks, shocks and fork are especially important in my opinion. Keep these videos coming. All the best!

@garyshearing5452 6 лет назад

This Favorites & Fails series idea is great. Keep them coming!

@suraparajulokesh3811 6 лет назад

Always do videos like this

@doxasnob8137 6 лет назад

Great quick to the point video! Its great to see a series where someone dosen't "just love" everything about his or her favorite brand of motorcycle, or gets on a test ride and puts down everything about the bike because its not their favorite. ALSO great you have been riding it for a while, not just a day. Keep them coming! I love my bike but also have a few niggles I wish were better.

@andrewely4145 6 лет назад

Keep these coming! Short, sweet, certainly informative. Also, it gives guys (like me) who can only dream of these bikes a reality check that they aren’t indeed perfect, yet still have insanely awesome qualities that are worth celebrating.

@Dowe78 6 лет назад

This is a great, short and sweet breakdown of a bike. Keep them coming!

@GFClocked 6 лет назад

If i was lookin to buy this bike id love a video like this. Still like it either way, great stuff as always. One of my fav channels

@Drdre11 4 года назад

Thank you for making a video about this bike in less than 5min. Way too many other out there rambling on saying the same thing for 15-25min. Keep up the good work!

@paulthespacemouse7785 6 лет назад

Great vid! Thanks for the top tip about the tyres. Keep up the good work

@sv650nyc7 6 лет назад

Great series! Straight to the point. We need more reviewers that are not afraid to point out a bike's shortcomings. That way everyone can make up their mind what they can expect to modify or upgrade. That doesn't happen on all those manufacturer sponsored test rides. Great that there's more than just the FortNine channel with critical opinions.

@alexworks9659 6 лет назад

Agree with most points! I’ve got 10,000 miles on mine and on crappy roads and commute daily. I like that the suspension is softish to soak up potholes etc.

@jacksonhay7718 6 лет назад

Great new series, keep em coming!

@shravan7477 6 лет назад

That bike looks sensational

@SuperJohn12354 6 лет назад

looks like a scrambler, but look at the reviews, that have rode it off road, you really don't want to, so not really a scrambler, its really just a road bike, so when you realise that and start comparing it to road bikes ..... well then its not that impressive.

@Mahatma618 6 лет назад

doesn't it No

@tyroney2 6 лет назад

SuperJohn12354 I didn’t want to hear that. It simply looks too good.

@shAdOwstAlkEr945 5 лет назад

Its a bike for posers

@WhiskeyToro 4 года назад

@@shAdOwstAlkEr945 wtf? A bike for posers? What are you, 13 years old? It's a beautiful bike.. probably something you couldn't afford which is why you're all bitter about it.

@GaryJohnWalker1 6 лет назад

Lots more of these favs&fails please - and in rapid succession !

@AkaAndyKnuckles 6 лет назад

Nice format. Worth watching.

@wallymurray620 6 лет назад

Great new series and hope to see more, with one caveat. I still want to see lots of MC Garage, MC Commute and tons more On Two Wheels. Oh and don't forget all the other Motorcyclist stuff you and Zack do so well. Thanks!!!

@alexworks9659 6 лет назад

I’ve got 7000 miles on mine and I love it. Agree on needing suspension upgrade. Bar end mirrors, tail rack and engine crash bars are the only thing I’ve done so far.

@FLHTPGlide 6 лет назад

@anuvav9524 6 лет назад

You guys are awesome.... Love all your videos

@cuthbertjellyhead 5 лет назад

I agree on the tyres. I took a scrambler out for a test ride in wales and the tyres were shockingly bad. I bought the R NineT pure in the end, awesome machine.

they look beast that's for sure.. I thought about getting one a time or two...

@stevelawrie9115 4 года назад

Yeah, you're probably right. I recently rode the "R nine T" and it has totally adjustable suspension, 2 dials and fantastic Metzeler road tyres. I currently own a K1300S that I have had for more than 5 years and if I was going to change, I'm pretty sure that I'd go the R nine T.

@Zalonka 6 лет назад

YES do more like this good video dude!

@brent1041 6 лет назад

You should do more of these videos. And I've been looking at that same bike for my next one.

@stevehofmann9525 5 лет назад

Yes there is something very appealing about the BMW boxers farm tractor like smell and sound and gritty power. My 1974 R90/6 always felt confident, safe, reliable and powerful and stylish.....in a 70’s sort of way.

@mircowirz2909 6 лет назад

got mine since october. 1st month i did 1500 miles haha. just cannot get off of it - love it.finally found a steel rear and plate holder in italy which perfectly fits with the end of the frame. now it´s perfect!!

@hammersteve8 6 лет назад

hans wurz Hi. I'm currently looking at getting the same. They say they're both an easy fit. Are they?

@gvdl7569 4 года назад

Got one.Love it. No issues with the karoo 3's.Do not drive off road. May try road tires next,but after 100 miles or so, no tire complaints.

@TylerG7777 Месяц назад

I love my 2017 BMW Scrambler, but you are SO right about the Karoo 3 tires. They look awesome, but they suck. Loud, vibrate, poor grip. I rode with them for 3 years. Then, I decided to forget about the appearance and I put on Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2 tires. Cannot believe the difference! It’s like a completely different bike! The handling and confidence is amazing. Try them.

@mbtfp 6 лет назад

Yeah! "Wasserboxer Engine" I like the way you said this! :)

@pieroo900ng 6 лет назад

I had the pleasure to ride this bike for a couple of days and I fully concur to what Ari said - the tyres are crap, they don't provide any confidence while driving. The looks are awesome and the boxer engine is just amazing... the sound, that boxer engine vibration and performance. I highly recommend to try one if you have the possibility.

@tougenomikado 6 лет назад

im digin this new segment 👍

@catdaddy3302 День назад

I just bought a 2017 with 2,727 miles on it today. The rear shock looks adjustable with a spanner wrench. You can always use heavier fork oil or stiffer springs.

@planetgrom7149 6 лет назад

I’ve got a Grom and love it - even made a channel about learning the world of motorcycling and trying to see as much as I can on it because it’s a fun challenge and I really like the lack of history and prestige of the Grom. But I must say this bike gets me all hot and bothered. It’s absolutely gorgeous and looks like (from an untrained eye) something I could keep for decades and pass down and it would STILL be cool.

@Uliio 6 лет назад

@thinakaranairsubramaniam 6 лет назад

Guys.. Kudos! With much love from Malaysia.. I'm looking into 2012 CBR1000RR.. I know it's dated but would really appreciate a F&F episode on that.. Again great videos keep it coming

Continue this series! Please please please do a video on the Africa Twin! I know Zack has been riding one for a while now, that would be awesome! I’m still on the fence about upgrading to one- I’m currently on my trusty V Strom 650

@AriH211 6 лет назад

Right on. Zack-and even Spenser, the guys that's usually behind the camera-will all be contributing to this series. We've had the AT in the fleet for over a year, so Z should definitely be able to do a F&F with it.

Greta idea! Keep going

@AZGeek520 6 лет назад

Nicely done. I've owned a 2017 for more than 6 months as well and it is one of my favorite bikes to ride. Totally agree on the stock tires, which I ditched after a couple of weeks for some Pilot Road 4 Trails. While I like the rugged look of the Karoos, the Pilot 4 Road Trails look good on the bike with much better handling. Previous owner put on Ohlins shocks front and rear so I can't relate to the OEM suckiness. Very solid performance with the Ohlins suspension. I'm surprised you didn't mention the Akra exhaust at all. Definitely a win from my perspective. Also, I'm not going to say the mirrors are a total fail, but they are fugly. The bike looks much better with bar end mirrors IMHO.

@guybramwells 6 лет назад

I tried it with knobby tires, then later with road tires. Night and day. Feels so analog in a good way. Great bike. Just wish it had cruise control. Living in Australia 85% of all travel is highway travel. You can get the occasional arm pump trying to sit on an exact speed limit.
