[@GormBraarvig]

it's a very nice bike. I rode mine through Europe this january (Kiel-Alicante mostly near the coast) and 7-800km pr day was no problem. (I had to change some parts in Germany so used a few days extra). Had the Ducati Scrambler before, and this is absolutely it's much bigger brother in all respects..... it comfortably makes above 200km/h and bellow 3.5 on 0-100... so it's a comfortable fun bike, while a beast in disguise!

[@tomboyabit]

Brilliant add to the review! Thank you! Wish I could do that sort of test! Legally say ‘comfortably makes over 200km/h’ 😅 And ride Kiel-Alicante 😍

[@kennethkuhl1188]

You are refreshing . Thank you. Your review was informative, and your comments and questions were helpful to someone trying to reenter the motorcycle world. I enjoyed your style.

[@terrybarton1808]

I really love your videos, you come across as a really genuine person, and all of your videos are great but you can really see your sense of humor and humanity in your build videos with jonesy, happy days

[@nigeltankard6977]

I have always loved the look of the R Nine T, looking forward to seeing your next vlog on the customisation of one

[@tonydare7614]

Great review. Changed bike loads of times in the past couple of years, including a Tiger 900, GS 1250, Aprilia Tuono, Ducati Scrambler...I now have a little Fantic 500 scrambler that I adore. It is amazing around town but less good for long distances. I still love the Rnine t but have never tried the scrambler version. I would try one but I live in the Paris region and the speed limits are stupid, 18mph and 35mph on most others. You have tempted me though😂

I am surprised to even be considering any motorcycle but I am in love with this Scrambler. I really enjoyed how the commentator said it is good for any season. That is the type of bike that I need, a bike for all seasons.

[@DKR-1881]

Wonderful review. I'm in love too - even though I haven't ridden one yet. But I'm seriously considering one next spring 2024. Thanks!

[@EXOGINOS]

Amazing motorcycle and a Cool review! Keep inspiring people

[@vicorrosiv]

The Boxex Engine is what makes the r9t have “the twitchy feeling” because of how the motor is configured as you lean into the corner and give it throttle the Boxer wants to pull the bike the other way, of course there is much more science behind this but this is the most simple explanation. 😊 I love my r9t scrambler. Great video 😁

[@oliveroliver7330]

can you please explain this in a more detailed and plausible way? I am thinking of getting a Boxer BMW pretty soon and have heard about this phenomenon but no one could explain it to me sceintificaly plausible

[@randy_andy]

I totally agree but on top I think the Kardan is also a part of this phenomen.

[@11195721]

Thank you so much!!! This was a very good and informative review. Love it and I’m thinking on a Ducati scrambler o an r9 t scrambler so your review was perfect. ❤

[@wandering_armadillo]

So nice to watch you, and I like the interview format very much! The Piercity episode 🆒 should be interesting, they have EXCELLENT tutorial videos on You Tube (I picked up a few items for my R9T from themas well even though I live in Canada....) 🤩

[@michaeljohnson2922]

You’re 100% right on weight. Scramblers in the 60’s and 70’s were very light weight and that makes them really fun on dirt, unfortunately, they were horrible on faster highways. Nowadays, people want the scrambler look but they want it as a primary bike as a daily road bike and that requires weight. Light weight bikes on highways are not fun and confidence inspiring. This is why many of us have multiple bikes. 😀

[@tomboyabit]

But do you agree that modern 1200cc Scrambler is the most versatile?

[@michaeljohnson2922]

@@tomboyabit Absolutely, I’d think most riders if they wanted one bike would go for this modern scrambler and be very happy

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

I agree with you. Bikes can be too light for the road.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

more weight; more height is more distance to fall; and harder to fall with no control- imo. the bmw 750gs is too heavy and tall for me if your dodging other crazy drivers.

[@danielmcneil3004]

Thanks Deimante for a very good review. I wasn’t familiar with this model, it looks great and I like it. Regarding winter riding , you are fortunate to be able to do it at all. Not possible where I am ( Toronto), with sub zero temps and lots of snow. Stay safe and well. Cheers, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦

[@tomboyabit]

I an Lithuanian, so know very well how lucky I am here in UK with weather. Even tho I moan with everyone just as much after all the years living in UK. I heard riding in Spring in Canada is something amazing. Soon, Dan. 👊

[@garrywright3380]

Great review, loads of detail and personal preferences. Great….

[@tomboyabit]

Thank you, appreciate your comment 👊

[@theonlymonkeymagic]

I relate to your description of "something between custom heritage and technology". A friend of mine has one, but I didn't know the model until I went into a BMW shop (Melbourne) yesterday and saw it - a work of art really. I haven't owned a bike for many years, but this could be it ;-). I've driven a lot of outback miles in a 4WD in central Australia, but I'd like to try it on a bike. The feeling you describe when accelerating out of a corner sounds like the torque effect you get from the shaft drive with an longitudinal crankshaft. In any ICE motor, the flywheel is there to smooth out the balance between the translational (piston) and rotational (crankshaft) forces - but it's never perfect, like when you need to find the sweet spot in the vibrations on a long trip. I've experienced the torque effect on an old girlfriend's Moto Guzzi - at rest if you tweak the throttle, you'd feel the bike rolling slightly, and when moving the shaft effect out of a corner. Thanks for the review. 🙂

[@danquixote6072]

This bike looks amazing. I passed my test 10 years ago but have never got around to buying a bike. Back then, my favourite bike was the Nine T. This is even better. The only question is where do you put your things, like your camera or your bread and milk when you go shopping?

[@MRFLESHSTORM]

AWESOME as always

[@Tuchudy]

What kind of helmet you wear? Looks nice. BTW. I'm owner of R90T Scrambler, too.

[@MotoMango]

Great review. I really think the café racer version of these models are top notch!

[@gryphongryph]

Beautiful bike, this is a great video, good job 👍🏻

[@tomboyabit]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

3:44 This is the one I would have. I agree with you. I think weight adds to the feeling of stability. What I like about flat twins is the weight is so low, it feels like it locks you to the road. I had an R1100GS for 92,000 miles. The most stable bike I have had.

[@Chuckles..]

I had a 1982 R65, loved the way it handled because of the flat twins.

[@georgekanelleas6217]

Nice, funny, honest review... I love ur axen... My favourite is R Nine T black-red. Keep going.....😉👌

[@tomboyabit]

Thank you George 😀

[@juliocpiedrahita]

I love your boots and jacket 😍👍.

[@w3isong]

The exhaust is slight on a softer note, but on it's stock exhaust, removing the cables for the exhaust flapper does help to increase the exhaust noise a little if it helps!

[@tind9908]

I love The exhaust flapper. Makes it nice and quiet around my neighbours but still gives of a big vroom when I wrench the throttle when going on the on ramps

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Nice video and review 👍...it's a nice bike with tons of character!. Look forward to seeing your trip to Pier city customs...Rory and Stuart have a ton of knowledge about the Rninety range and make ownership of the R ninety an affordable option for a lot of people through their service packages and the ' how to ' tutorials. Cheers, Steve

[@disco41]

What a fantastic review 👍

[@tomboyabit]

Thank you Andy 🙏🏻

[@Nordkapp65]

Great to see your vlog. I just got the same model, a 2021 with 725 km, it has the two clocks, cruise and heated grips. Fitted a Hepco Becker mini rack and will be fitting the crash bars, rear fender and bash plate. Cannot wait for better weather as ACF50 is to be applied

[@ardennielsen3761]

Have a 1983 XJ650... planning on modifying the transmission to be able to bolt up to a 2.3 litter car engine, the gears can take it. "don't need to be hard on it to get it going"

[@r.g.2095]

Ive had overall around 10 different bikes so far and without hesitation my R9t scrambler is the best. If it is up to me I will never sell it, ever.

[@caferacer3539]

R9T (actually a scrambler, but all of them has only a minor differences) reminds me my Ural, it's wide and heavy. The weight / performance ratio is big what allows to bike accelerate very fast, but it's still feels heavier

[@1peachcowboy1]

Good review! Test rode a gorgeous 719 option. I LOVED the look of the bike. Unfortunately I felt like a bear riding a football. I ended up with a R1250R HP. I added windshield, hardside bags and topper and now have a kind of RT light. Easily convertible to naked, but handy with the bags. I still wish I had bought the R9T if for no other reason than the art of the motorcycle. I will keep my eyes open.

[@tomboyabit]

Have you considered a big Boxer R18?

[@mingli2814]

you made a good decision.

[@dominicfazio2793]

The feeling of the engine s inertia . I think that is what you are trying to describe . I have a 1978 R100/7 . I know this feeling . It’s great 👍

[@inoiamds]

its because the pistons go sideways so when you throttle it you get that bit of a sideways rock, i love it ...

[@queenbecca7262]

How tall are you? I feel like I might be too short for this bike

[@ansmeerfarn5757]

i totally agree with your opinion about all those adventurebikes ...i also don´t like them, there is lack of emotion... but i love my RnineT 2014 with some modification as like Wilbers suspension, heated grips, tail mods, ... i use it as an every day bike but also for big trips around europe! i owned a lot of bikes in my life but this one is the absolutely all in one LOVE! IT IS BETTER IN THE WIND ! Thank´s for your honest review and come to visit Austria :-) !!!

[@mingli2814]

I owned 2019 scrambler option 719 . Handbar vibration has really ingoring . especially on highway.

[@tkchan001]

Great bike! btw…where did u get that jacket? Mind to share… wanna buy one as well, thanks

[@tomboyabit]

Hey, that’s BMW Motorrad Jacket. 👌 Super quality!

[@drgeoffangel5422]

Miss, you are trying to say is, that the R nine t has character, its a beast, it has grunt! I have the scrambler version, its a beast of a bike, but really way to heavy to safely scramble off road. The reason is that if that beast fell on top of you, it would hurt more than a lot!!

[@gregorykucera4235]

Great video nice bike .you see BMW in USA. Nice I ride a 1997 dyna wideglide I really like it

[@Johnrockerldn]

Blimey, that crash helmet looks huge.

[@itsjustjonnoh]

Very impressive. This will probably be my next bike. I currently ride a ZX6R. Looking to dive into the cafe racer type of scene now that I have grown a bit. Still love the ZX6R, but this would be a great daily and city ride bike. $14,000 UDS is reasonable as well.

What about vibration? Scrambler don't have a "tacho", but further I review tables compared speed and motor revs, the vibration occurs after 4000 rpm, and they are very big. But the engine performance allows rides on the civil speeds without vibrations.

[@tomboyabit]

I ride stage 3 Sportster. Hardly any bike vibrates more 😅 On a serious note I had BMW scrambler long enough to notice that I don’t get white fingers quick. I have Raynaud’s and vibration makes it worst.
