Bought a 2006 BMW K1200R in October 2005 as my first, non-scooter motorcycle. OMG! [Do people still use "OMG"?] It was a Rocket Ship and wayyy more bike than anything other than a crotch-rocket! Essentially stopped riding it, traillered it 600 miles to my Ducati Monster brother thinking he would love it. Nope. He allowed a commercial architect riding buddy to ride it (along with the architect's five bikes). I later learned that the architect loaned this K-bike to his largest ever client (another bike collector-rider with multiple bikes) and my brother did not tell me any of this until a year later. Meanwhile, I was making $450 monthly payments along with insurance and sending annual registration stickers to Bro. Sold to the Architect's client in 2009 for $9k. I then gave myself The DumbAss of the Decade award for Incredible Stupidity ! And began riding a Honda Rebel 250 and a Sportster XL883 (both bought new).

[@lrowlands53]

If a million people haven’t said this already, the boxer layout has nothing to do with the bike rocking when it’s revved. The crankshaft rotates around the centreline of the bike with the flywheel and clutch at one end. The rocking is the torque reaction a la Newton - to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Check out any rubber mounted engine in a car, truck, boat, etc. On most motorcycles the crank runs across the centreline so we don’t feel the torque reaction - it’s absorbed by the suspension and tyres. I bet a Moto Guzzi (transverse v-twin) has the same torque reaction as the BMW. It’s kind of wild setting up for a corner and rev matching downshifts.

[@malcolmabram2957]

I ride its big brother, an R1250R. The reality is that a boxer engine is a unique engine, which one loves or one hates. One cannot rev it like a straight 4, but it gives tons of torgue at low revs. Bit more like a diesel, though it is not a diesel. My BM, despite the stats, has superb acceleration, excellent handling, and will easily keep pace with a 1000 cc sports on the road. it will not compete on a track, but then I am not interested in track racing. The R9T appeals, as it is smaller and probably more practical. It is a naked bike. Also it has simple clocks. I actually do not appreciate the TFT gismo on the R1250R, and wish instead I had the usual set of clocks which I am used to in previous bikes.

In typical BMW fashion the engine configuration was not quite what you'd expect. With the engines being turned through 90 degrees, compared to your standard inline set up.

My review is a little longer than yours, have one RNinet pure 21. Hitting the 6k mi I Had different platforms before, Harleys, Indians, Honda, this is the best piece of technology of all of them, for me! Of course. Respect your review but I personally loved it and will ride the one I have for a long time. (Also, I got mine at EuroCycle Vegas)

Agree with you. The boxer engine is the best, low down weight, the cylinder head is oiled all the time, longetivity and very responsive. I have a BMW R1250RT and had a BMWR1250R. Amazing bikes.

I don't see any R nine T review on your channel though?

[@gideonleroux7519]

Acceleration test in rain mode ?

[@brianshockley6429]

Drove this as a last fun ride at a demo event after taking out the sr1000 and all the expensive brothers AND… this bike IS A BLAST. Like this will be my next bike. It’s so fun. The whole time I was smiling. Do other bikes do things better? For sure but none are as fun and look as cool.

[@Yoda8945]

Rain Mode? Get real! My S1000RR also has rain mode. It totally kills the bike, which is what it is supposed to do.

Checked out a few of your videos and I see why you've got so many subscribers that is because you are not boring at any point :)

[@sylvainster30]

Really like your honesty, I ride a 2014 Hayabusa and it’s a beast of a machine ✌🏼😎👍🏼

[@kelinryan8222]

I couldn't care less about the R9T. I would love to see a ride and review of the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello.

[@georgiospetrou9254]

To get your facts straight, this is not the R Nine T (R9T). It's the R Nine T Scrambler or the R Nine T Pure.

Keep up the good work man ❤️

9:12 Scared b/c another m/c is following then becomes angry that he was made to be scared then directs this anger at viewers. FFS!

[@mitchbeck01]

I am truly curious, if it were not for the sound of the engine, if it sounded like a different twin instead of “utilitarian” where would you rate this bike?

[@67Evan]

Yeah, you don't really get it Yammienoob. I suspect you mainly don't like the price premium. Many, many people love the excellent RnineT, which is why it's a huge seller. The 1170 oilhead is one of the most reliable and durable motors of all time, it's easy to maintain, the bike looks great, it goes, stops and handles very well, it's highly customizable - hence it's often preferred over the excellent cheaper bikes you mentioned (except the Duke Scrambler which just isn't good enough quality-wise). Your anti-BMW bias is always good for a laugh. I like your honesty.

[@geoffreyshepler4954]

I’m about half way through the video, and I’m surprised he hasn’t said anything about it being a shaft drive.

[@Yoda8945]

I had the original R NineT from 2014 until It was killed by a driver who turned into me. I absolutely loved that bike. I made some modifications that made it better for me- Narrower bars, rearsets, bikini fairing, tire hugger, heated grips, bar end mirrors. I wish mine had cruise control and a real rear fender, but I lived without that. The upside down forks and brushed aluminum tank were standouts and it was a more deluxe model than the scrambler . I did not have any problem with handlebar buzziness. It had 14k miles on it when it was hit. I could have gotten it repaired easily but I didn't want to look at a salvage title.

[@richardwilliams8693]

I like videos of you Dunkin on BMW or really just your honest opinion. (About to watch the vid.) Taking on the BMW line up like the roadsters and reviewing them is something I’ve been curious about.

[@johnelliott3617]

No, basically you just need a mini bike for your style of riding or inability to understand the BMW. The cylinders are hanging in the wind , no need to plumb air to them, or does this not stand out?
