Bike World Used Review | BMW R NineT 

Yea, I would also put Michael Neeves up there with the best.

Spot on comment 👏 Chris is such a pro hes not farting, burping or pretending to be gay like others do

@@sugarrfree I know who you have in mind 🤣

@@magellanicspaceclouds 😉

@@sugarrfree We're saying nothing!

Ha! I had a r60/7 years ago. Starting it up, was an experience!

Couldn’t agree more. The more analogue the better for such a bike IMO. Also won’t sell my gen 1 gor a newer version

@@johnlaw5762 they also changed the geometry from euro 4 on. The 2014-6 versions handle better

@@davesnowpros6785 not so sure about that. Where did you hear/read that if I may ask?

@@johnlaw5762 sure I read it somewhere on one of the r ninet forums. They changed the head angle a bit

@@davesnowpros6785 that does ring a bell now. Anyway…happy as a clam with what I have and the R12 9T (?) seems like a rather big step backwards…aesthetically and in my eyes of course

I recently bought an '11 R1200R, and I've already decided that its replacement--after it hits 100k mi--will be some form of RnineT. Same old torquey bulletproof engine in a 10-yrs-newer bike. I'm hooked.

What does it mean by hitting reverse?

@@AbdurrahmanZedSaeed Hi Joseph, I think you’ve misread my comment, I wrote ‘hitting reserve’, - getting to the point where the fuel warning comes on, on the R NineT that’s with about 30 miles of fuel left in the tank. 😉

@@timparish172 ah.. gas reserve.. sorry for misreading your comment..

@@timparish172So, the only indicator is blinking light?

@@AbdurrahmanZedSaeed There’s also a countdown of the miles left in the tank in the information display.

You still alive mate?

@@fudzzz Yeah... the wife just laughed at me. No new bike. Obviously 🤣

That would be good, but I really want to know what mods you made to your wife’s CG125to make it LDT capable. Please! Les

easy fix

Wonder why they sold so poorly🤔 Before it’s time perhaps?

Sorry, big faux pas…..doesn’t every motorcyclist know Guzzis are well underrated?

Possibly….I think it was Guzzi didn’t really market it well. Was it a sports bike, a cruiser, a sport tourer??? Whatever, a cracking naked roadster I’d say.

@@nigelfisher3756 perhaps answering my question to a degree but from my perspective the “problem” is that there are very few dealerships and therefore Guzzis around to buy and subsequently service. That and, perhaps unfairly, the fact that they are still perceived as less reliable which compounds the lack of dealerships and available parts problem. They look good and seem to use quality materials though which is more than what can be said about a lot of the plastic-fantastic offered by other brands

Indeed, I miss mine.

I think the clock wobble is by design, saves the vibration transfer to the dials and connectors. Agree with the suspension, changing the rear shock is the most important of all mods you can do.

@Dontlooknowman Doesn't help when trying to stay at 30mph at speed cameras, end up having to make sure and going nearer 25. No problem now I fitted the motogadget pro. And yeah wilbers rear shock and S1000RR front inserts made a huge difference.

What kind of mods did you make to yours ??

@bayxican831 I have done lots to mine. Highlights, Wilbers rear shock, ABR, DNA filters, UG headers & Bos twin end cans, and Rapid Bike Evo fueling unit. Love this bike!

They do, it's something we noticed the first time we rode one, just one of the quirks of the boxer engine.

Make sure you never ride a Royal Enfield 500 single cylinder then. Your OCD will have a royal meltdown 😂

Why not?

Thanks, glad you liked it.

If you don’t like spokes on a retro styled bike dare I say you somewhat miss the point altogether 😊

@@johnlaw5762 I prefer to miss the point and keep my wheels clean, thank you Sir. My Z900RS hasn't spoked wheels and that works just fine for me. Each to their own I guess and keep those spokes clean fella 👍

She’s been on a trip to Portugal, having fun!

@@BikeWorldTVshow assuming she’s on a bike I’m very jealous! That’s a huge bucket list trip for me ❤️

@@JayGee6996 yep, she took a Ducati Diavel.

@@BikeWorldTVshow touring Portugal on a hypersofa 👌😁

That would involve doing some work; it's easier for the plod to nick people doing 35 in a 30 limit.

Datatag have worked with BSB in the past, makes sense though.

next year the new model will be called R12

I think it was to celebrate 90 years of the boxer engine maybe🤔

It's a wordplay. It was released in 2013, which was 90 years of BMW Motorrad and a hark back to the R90S which is probably one of the most legendary BMW models. You know the one, with the funky fading orange paintscheme 😊

How else are vids like this funded? At least we’re upfront about the sponsors, others hide who they’re funded by.

Even so...he did a honest review.... we thanks him... at least.... 💐👍🏻
