Had a chance to stop out at eurocycle in Las Vegas in early December when I was visiting the west coast. Not one salesman in the new showroom even looked up at the computer to ask if me or the other two people I came with needed help or anything at all. Not one word was spoken to us! Would not buy from a dealership network like that. Only redeeming part was that the one guy relegated to the used showroom was absolutely awesome! Just happy to talk about what they had and cool stuff that they’ve had previously. I’d stay cautious of euro cycle when buying new. Customer service seems to be down to “get them a bike and get them out”

[@ConorHildebrandt]

BMW has been making bikes before they made cars. They've been making bikes longer than anyone with the exception of Harley and Indian and look at those brands now lol I've ridden countless other brands and bikes, and BMW still blows most of the competition away in my opinion. RnineT especially, I've been in love with that bike since 2014, amazing machine. They get it.

[@cesartapia610]

The Japanese still do quality control, reliability, cost of maintenance, and price-to-performance better in my opinion. How has your experience been with reliability and repairs? Bad/expensive? Not trying to talk bad about your bike, but I want your honest opinion.

[@ConorHildebrandt]

@@cesartapia610 oh no for sure, 100% agree. Even in the car world, no one does reliability better than the Japanese. But for all around "the best", I find BMW stands alone. And I mean like, say an H2 vs M1000RR (I've ridden both). Sure, H2 is faster in a straight line, but that's about it. The RR is a precision made weapon with high quality finishes and attention to detail. Where as the H2 looks and feels like it was bought at Walmart haha ANYWAY, I digress. I've had 2 BMW's and have 2 close friends who I ride with frequently one also has BMW's, the other has Ducati's. My two BMW's (2014 BMW F800R, bought in 2015, traded for my current bike in 2020) was the most reliable and rock solid bike ever. Put about 30,000 kms on it in the 5 years I had it, and only ever had to do regular oil, and scheduled service at 10,000 and 20,000kms. Each of which costing about 700 CAD. My current bike, 2015 BMW S1000R, bought used July 2020, with 14,000kms, has also been mega mega rock solid. Only have had to do oil and the 20,000km service which again was about 700 CAD. I've put about 7,000kms on it now, I'm obsessed with it. And this is a 7 year old super naked! And can still smoke 98& of anything on 2 or 4 wheels haha Buddy who has also had BMW's has more or less had the exact same experience I have. No problems at all. He also has a 2015 S1000R and an RnineT. Other friend with the Ducati. He has a 999 and a 848 Streetfighter, he's lucky to put 2,000kms a season on them cuz they're always breaking down haha 10-15 years ago, I would say BMW's aren't great, but the last 7-8 years, they have gotten SO, good. Can't recommend them enough.

The original GS in that color scheme was a favorite of wasps. You’d stop at a light, the wasps would gather at the yellow stripes. The light would change. You’d edge forward and the wasps would end up in your lap. Always entertaining.

[@johnkluge3421]

The roadster BMWs have always been great bikes. The R1250R is a great all purpose street bike. It has all of the power you really need and will do about anything you want it to do. The BMW Rs that are not tourers or GSs have always been one of the better kept secrets in motorcycling. This bike falls right in line with that.

[@lapinobel]

I have a r1250r. Technically one of the best bikes I ever had. Just lacks a bit of soul, kinda liked my Kawa z900rs better for the way it looked but this Bmw is really something special too. Hope you can do a review of one. Almost everything that found it a bit boring or wasnt that interested, changed their minds after riding one. So did I. Still dont find it a beautiful bike but it just does everything so well it is really a secret in the bmw lineup.

[@johnkluge3421]

@@lapinobel I have an 04 r1150r. I have 45,000 miles on it. It has been bomb proof. Every time I think I need a new bike, I ask myself why and the only answer I have is that I am tired of looking at or I feel like I can’t just have one bike forever. It has been great

[@cesartapia610]

@@johnkluge3421 I had a '96 BMW R1100RS. Nice enough bike, but very top heavy and hard to steer in city traffic. Excellent fairing and comfort for freeway rides though; I really appreciated having that after upgrading from a small naked bike. I don't trust BMW reliability though, it's got to be one of the worst in the business. Complicated engine, dry clutch (not good for dense traffic), tons of electrical gremlins, and the earlier ones used to eat transmissions (splines needed better lubing from the factory), weak charging system. Super expensive to repair when something goes wrong. I liked it, but BMW isn't up to Japanese standards of quality control. I'd rather be riding than wrenching, and self service/repair on Japanese bikes is just so much more user friendly. They're better for my budget, but even if I were rich, I wouldn't want to have to spend so much more money on an already expensive vehicle. Just my two cents.

[@johnkluge3421]

@@cesartapia610 I find my R to be very light and easy in traffic. And you just get used to the clutch. Since buying it new and putting right at 45,000 miles on it, a lot of that commenting in heavy traffic, I have replaced the starter, alternator, and the command unit on the left handle bar. That is pretty good reliability for that much use. I have ridden the hell out of that bike and it has never let me down.

@@johnkluge3421 That's great. I'm glad it's served you well, and that you've enjoyed it a whole lot.

I have an r ninet pure. I picked it up after totaling a bike and getting pretty jacked up in the process. It took a while getting comfortable on the bmw. Probably a combination of being hesitant to ride after a bad accident and how quirky the bike is. Now, I love it.

[@_Jaded_]

The bumble-beemer is approachable and well mannered with a few quirks. Might handle better with a milk crate, and a cupholder. This is my takeaway. Thanks for the review Yam!

Just saying, the BMW boxer engine has a longtitudinal crankshaft (as opposed to a transverse crank of a parallel twin) and the rotation experienced on startup is due to the reaction (Newtonian physics) of the spinning crank and flywheel. Happens with single engined aircraft too. The engine is smooth because the pistons move in opposite directions and do a good job of cancelling primary imbalance.

[@spencerknutsen464]

this, own a boxer, but its a car not a bike (vw beetle) and it has a similar jerking motion on startup, but very smooth once running. A longitudinal crankshaft on a vtwin like a motto guzzi or a honda cx should have the same phenomenon.

[@Speedytrip]

I had one in 2018 and loved it, suspensions and oil consumption was the weak point (maybe they've improved since), the rest of the bike was really a blast to ride and sounded amazing even with stock pipe. Loads of torque from the get go.

[@carlosortega8357]

Got mine in Colombia 3 weeks ago. Everything presented is exactly the experience I have had w/ it. No electric radiator cooling fan, so it overheats easily in the chaotic traffic jams in Bogotá. It definitely is a head turner and talking piece, no way to go unnoticed. I am a 72 year old dude having fun all the way! (moved up from a F800R 1st production run which was the worst investment ever.)

[@rudeyjr5929]

You can say anything about the specs, but It is a beautiful motor

[@medic001465]

I'd like to clear up this BMW thing. The demographic that buys these bikes are usually midlife. We have finally been able to purchase a bike after having children, paying for college and working our asses off in order to pay the bills. We have bad backs and are unable to lean forward in order to ride a "cool" bike. I tested numerous bikes and settled with the GS due to the comfortable riding position and obvious ease of operation. Am I going to ride it off-road, No. Am I going to ride it on a long term "adventure", No. I ride it to work and it's the best part of my day. I enjoy your channel, and I find your perspective on BMW interesting. You've got to admit, they're well-built and fun to ride. See you on the road! PS, I hate Starbucks!

[@samuelmandarelli2645]

The character is in that awesome BMW engine sticking out on both sides.

[@BlastMaster3000]

To turn off cruise control as well while its active, just roll the throttle a little bit forward beyond its normal stopping point and it will disengage cruise control without having to engage the clutch or disable cruise control entirely

[@bobholley6202]

Nice bike. Really wanted one when the 9T first came out but that urge quickly faded. Now I’m an old guy on a Adv. bike! Great vid.

The original NineT (black) is the best one... equipment wise (it includes the rev counter) and des not try to "fake" a off road capacity. and yes...at 20K, it should not do anything wrong.

[@danmacmillan88]

That's a gorgeous bike. I love Beemers, having been brought up around them, but even I have to admit some of the recent ones are entirely soulless and lifeless. This isn't one of them. Much like the r18, it's not perfect, but it's FULL of character and charm. I'd solidly recommend you get an older air cooled boxer model from the 80s or 90s and rip around with that, compare it to the urban GS while you have it in the shop etc, if you really want to know what a beemer should feel like. Might be a whole new goldmine of hilarious content to explore for multiple bikes.

[@kneadedmassage9751]

I used to PURPOSELY use my cylinder heads to pivot on, for tight corners. The shaft drive, especially on the "air heads" caused something called "shaft reaction" which meant you absolutely had to be on the throttle for corners. If you came off the throttle in the middle of the corners, it would lift the rear wheel so the traction would drop. Timing it right, you could get a really sharp, low speed turn by tossing the weight onto the heads, killing the throttle, shift the weight then throttle it again for a 90 degree rotation in the parking lot! Find yourself an "old school" BMW rider who has fun, and let them show you what they can do. Oh, and the even the old bikes had gentle rev limiters, so I was taught to drive it at redline minus 500 rpm.

I love the look of the Urban G/S and really want one, but I'm torn between a Ducati Desert Sled and this, the Desert Sled just seems better equipped as a Scrambler and has more character according to some, but the Urban G/S looks better and probably drives better on road.

I really wish I would have watched your channel before buying my first bike. I bought an RnineT Pure as my first bike and now I kind of regret it compared to the other choices. Would have probably went with the XSR 900, 2023 that is. Anyways, great content!

[@edgaryellow]

I like the Chopin in the background!

[@hbbhr7016]

Cons of the R90 Urban GS are: non adjustable forks, no RPM, no Fuel indicator and you really don't want to take it off-road other than that its an engineering masterpiece.

[@johnsaporta4633]

I feel this bike would appeal to riders seeking an alternative to the cruiser style. I did meet one reformed vee twin cruiser owner on an R9T during an underground TT event. He was loving life. To each, their own. Cheers.

[@jonwiley2480]

Damn, yam blew thew that stop sign lol

[@ruiner88]

About the RPM gauge: that was one of the first mods I added to my 2019 scrambler. It cost $1000 CAD though...

[@joseph9556]

I will never be able to unsee the Whitaker s1000

[@tpv59]

EXCELLENT. 10/10.

[@BlastMaster3000]

When you're explaining the inertia mid corner it looks like you're throwing signs 🤣

[@yzScott]

BMW's (in my experience) benefit enormously from using a Power Commander to rich up the off-idle. Makes them much less to prone to stalling during a light lug.

[@Gismo3333]

I believe that is from Euro5 emission bullshit, and not to do with the bike. Lots of cars have this also. Better check if it is legal before doing that kind of stuff to a bike. Or you can get problems.

[@StormBringerVids]

I would love to see you Ducati Scrambler vs the Beemer.

[@bfairfax8772]

The next level up version of an R-Nine T has dual clocks and radial front Brembo's . Plus adjustable 46mm adjustable front forks and better road tires. A bit more road focused version .

[@CasualRiders]

Lol, Yammie found the stall button 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brickman3000]

A side of the road walk around would be great since the shop was so dark.

[@PavelShevchuk]

Speaking about lubing the shaft, MANSCAPED!

[@TheBigdutchster]

Some notes, my KTM 690R and my BMW RNineT both have a hydraulic clutch and I do prefer the feel, you hardly have to pull on the lever. I wish that the RNineT had a quickshifter/auto-blipper. My RNineT has a very good sounding factory exhaust and I have never contemplated changing it. A tachometer is a very expensive option. For that matter, I wish the the 690R had a tachometer too. I have the opposite experience with mine, first gear is easy to find and neutral is a near mystery, same thing on my S1000RR. If fact I could say the same thing about the KTM, which can be quite a challenge to find neutral with. Heated grips are worth every penny. Here in MI, I've used heated grips even in summer months and I'll be adding them to the KTM. I would take the RNineT over a Harley any day of the week. I consider my RNineT to be my cruiser bike.

[@pouncer11]

I would welcome hydraulic clutch on my bmw, the dry clutch can be tiresome in town

[@clementquirder]

I own a bmw r ninet and love it so much thinking to buy another one

[@martyn_g]

I’m awaiting the new one … apparently has a 21” front wheel- more off road oriented;)

[@TheScatman89]

really? that's interesting where did you read about this? im very interested

[@jason_a7420]

5:45 hehehehe "lube the shaft" hehehe

[@Thunder_Bear_mg]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a moto guzzi v7 give away motorcycle.

[@billtozerrealtor7331]

Blew the stop sign! hahaa

[@pieface6421]

give us more of the sled!

[@MatchBookNotes]

if only guzzi would do something interesting like this

[@jnycee845]

Can we get a review on spites KTM SMC-R. I'm about to buy one. It's this or my 3rd 09, but.....a 2021/22 MT09 I have to try the new engine.

[@xcaliber7779]

Hey Yammie get a pair of loaner Vespa GTS 300 from Eurocycle and have you and Spite review it. That would be fun! 😁👍

[@ashleylecompte4358]

Watched a video of there manufacturing process. Well they put more into QC on the assembly line that is worth the few thousand dollar difference. Don't have a bike yet. But working on that!

[@pouncer11]

Theres a reason that most bmws have 60-70-100-150k miles on them in the used market

[@cesartapia610]

No, they rank near last in Consumer Reports reliability surgery after 5 years of ownership. Yamaha and Honda would have much better quality control since they have less failures right?

[@jean-alexandrest-pierre8289]

@@cesartapia610 Stop saying that shit man, that report is based on a survey. No one owning a working machine is a subscriber to a reliability corp.

[@markgiles8527]

So,it’s possible to change/replace the front end and the rear suspension with a more off-road cable setup? Like how BMW should have done from the beginning. And made it more like, um, the R80G/S that it’s try to mimic.

[@nurglemonkie]

“Dream a bit bigger” hahahaha Savage

[@mkp1214]

I think the full fledge R nine T has the dual dial set up with an rpm gauge, and the older generation has it as well
