Hi there, I’m also in north east of Scotland with similar great roads on my doorstep (near Brechin). Currently own a Speedtriple 1050RS and am currently wanting to change and the R nine T range is at the top of my wish list,thanks for review mate

Found this comparison video super helpful, brother. I am still debating between blues driver and bluesbreaker though haha

Great video this or the scramble? ❤

Have you still got yours Neil? I'm looking for a bargain over winter and keeping an eye on FB marketplace. They really hold their value.

Neil, I'm heading up to Loch Ness from Merseyside on a sports bike and was looking for some good camping specs. Where exactly is this at 14:00 please?

Neil, A great review I have an early model and I agree wholeheartedly with your comments.Many thanks for posting. Roger Woolford

What a great review, I’m looking to buy one, and this owner’s perspective is what I’m looking for. Great stuff Neil, thank you

Great guitar but bad playing.

Is there any repairs kits for tubed tyres?

enjoyed that review vid and your A95 recommendation. thank you. what do you think it would be like to tour in europe - with luggage but without a pillion?

great video :) enjoyed watching that...

Nice watch, be it a you filmed it a while ago! Those roads look great for bikers! I’m considering parting company with a sportsbike for one of these. Time to slow it down a bit! I’ve had a soft spot for R9 T’s since they were launched. I did have a demo on one a few years ago. I’m not sure if it’s me or shaft drive bikes but do you always rev match blipping the throttle when changing down? Quite a few times I felt it would step out and not necessarily hard on the gas either. It put me off but I need to get back on one and give it another go.

Hello Neil, nice review, my question is specifically with suspension, I have a back that gives me trouble from time to time and I currently ride two Harleys, roadglide and street bob and I have upgraded suspension and seats on both, road glide is now good but street bob still hurst back on longer rougher roads, I also have a honda rally 300 which is great and never bugs my back even off road. Back to question how soft or hard is suspension, unfortunately I would sacrifice control in corners for a softer plush ride where the small bumps say 2" or so are taken out of the mix. Any feed back much appreciated as I am about to pull the trigger on one.

Have a 2016 r nine t and love it,every time I ride it it makes me smile,enough said.

Thanks Neil,.. my bug bear is the gear shift that is lose and fools me into thinking I am in neutral, have you had that? Otherwise I modded out my ali-seem weld RnineT Sport with a budget-blowing: Ohlins rear Akra Ti cat-free and flapper delete headers sargent seat rubber knee pads 719 bar-end mirrors RSD headlight surround Gilles Tooling rear-sets Brembo RCS m/c 19 brake and 16 clutch with O-ring DOT replacement Brembo M4 calipers Brembo super sport rotors Kineo spoked wheels (6" & 200 rear)

Well done..

Agreed. I want to know how a bike is long term. I could care less about test rides bc im never buying a new bike and want to know what living with it is like.

Best Bike Ever R NineT Euro 3 ! 🔥

What fuel do you use?

Still got the bike? Got my 2017 R nineT in april last year. Haven't driven it more than 5000 km so far, but lovin' the bike. Planning to drive from Norway to Germany for the summer vaccation this year. Brushed alu as yours, and it's touring ready with a Wunderlich Daytona fairing, tank bag and Hepco & Becker panniers. Keep the entertaining videos comming mate :)

Brilliant review and I live and ride around Elgin and surrounding areas. Anybody have any insight as to annual running or servicing costs for an R9T?

Hi Neil, whatts your experience about tires for the bike. I've got nearly the same bike as you got and my Metzelers z8's are worn out now after 7000 miles

Thanks! Hey how do you like it on the hwy @80mph?

Brought mine after watching your vlog and it's the best bike I've ever owned! Thank you Neil 👍👍👍

Great review. I know it was a couple of years ago, but still very enjoyable and relevant today. Thanks.

Hi Neil, great video, and lovely bike! Do you think an R Nine T would be ok as a first bike? I've been driving for 25 years, but new to biking. Passed my direct access a few months ago and was considering a Street Twin, but would love one of these.

Great review mate. Glad I’m not the only one who “prattles on like a twat” when riding 😂

I actually likely the BD most at low gain settings but doesn’t hold itself together when the gain is turned up - Black Box sounds great

Amazing vlog! Planning to get my R ninet Pure this month, would like to how you feel about your bike now?

Something specific I'm wondering; I see you have your phone mounted, but is it also possible to charge the phone while mounted on the bike?

Cheers! Thanks for the video. I bought a Scrambler, new. I’m doing the breaking period, it has About a week and 300 miles on the odometer. I can sense a smell of hot oil, maybe burned oil. Is this normal because the engine and everything is new? The engine temperature is fine and the engine oil level is at the mark, and the bike handles brilliant and sounds even better, but that smell, more frequently noted on low speed and low gears is kinda strange. Did you get that or is just me? Thank you ✌️✌️

Hi Neil, great review! I currently ride a Triumph Street Triple R and I’m thinking of changing to a 2016 R nine T, I love the look of the bike and they sound excellent. I’ve ridden many twins mainly parallel or V twins & I do love the mid range grunt you get from a twin plus the engine braking is so much stronger. I found the review very helpful although the singing type noises were a little off putting 😂. Thanks again for a a great review!

hey how are you doing still riding this awesome bike?

Thanks for the vid. It’s nice to hear an opinion of someone that actually owns the bike. I just pulled the trigger on a ‘22 model and take delivery in a few weeks. I’m beyond excited:) thanks again

Thanks 🙏 Johnny BikeSanooK Team straight from sunny tropical 🌴 THAILAND kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIG9qX15prGtmMU

Great insight! How tall are you?

Hi Neil, Nice to see an owner's review from someone who has spent their own money, and lived with the bike for a while...

Thanks for your review! :-) Did you tire of the aluminum look after some time? That’s also my top preference, so I’m wondering how it’s been for you now that it’s been 2 years.

The two on the right you can get delivered to your door in a couple days. The one on the left takes years. Your hands will probably have arthritis before you get to play the lefty.

Hi Neil, It is now September, 2022. Do you still own the R nine T and if so, do you still love it?

Hi Neil, just found your channel as I’ve just ordered an R NineT. I now live in the Outer Hebrides, originally from Huntingdon, and was wondering if you get a wet back from the Evotech tail tidy when riding in the rain?

Hi Neil , seriously thinking of buying 2016/2017 models. My questions are with today’s fuel prices what average mpg are you getting and is not having a fuel gauge a problem. Thanks

Really good vid, and what a great place to ride. The bike is an absolute stunner, it’s a model I’ve only recently become aware of really and, looks wise, I think they’re just about perfection. I need to get a test ride on one, just hoping at 6’2” it’s not a bit small. 🤞

Thanks. Seriously considering one....this is a great help

Do you still own the NineT. I ride a Yamaha super tenere and an interceptor. Want to get this as a replacement for the interceptor. I was surprised to hear you say that this is really comfortable. I'm 6,'1 and 108 kgs. The only thing that's casting a doubt in my mind is comfort on day long rides. Is this good for that application as stock or would you recommend putting some more comfortable seats and a handlebar riser to start with ? Any more tips? I just love the fit and finish if the bike and the character of that boxer just won me over in my 30 min of test ride. Might go for the option 719 with the aluminum tank 😊😊

Hi Neil, Great video, great bike. Do you know what kind of mpg you get from your R Nine T?

Just got a 2019 model

i watched your video because I'm very close to purchasing a Classic HSS. A few yrs ago, I tried out a Suhr SSS relic and it was hands down the best Strat guitar I've ever played, and that's an honest comparison to several Fender CS pieces.

Neil - great vid and it resonated with what I've experienced over the last 2 days of ownership. I really like your style and the way you come across as a presenter. I think YT may be holding you back because of a bit of swearing. I'd like to hear and see more of you reviewing yours and other bikes on that great road because I think it would really be great for people after an honest review. Thank you for your time to upload. Dave.

BBPre is too compressed, the BD2 lacks a bit of that chime and upper mids that the Blackbox has. All pretty decent, but the Blackbox is the most versatile here.
