This bloke’s got the worst voice in the world.
im sure people that buy bmw do not want to do wheelies or skids anyway..?
nice to see European marque holding their own against jap bikes…
Now THAT, was a quality video.
wow…im in love with the retro looks of the R9T…finally the triumph
Bonneville got some competition.
Whats the music in the background?
That R9T looks so nice!
“modern bikes don’t let you do wheelies” ???
AWESOME video!!!!
Good video for once:) and there is sound lol
I’m in the States and saw the RnineT in person, two days ago. It’s a
stunning bike, I’d gladly sell my car to be able to own one, if only I had
space for it! Magnificent.
MAD Bikes !!!!#!$#@$%^* Nothing like a BMW Bikes (S1000 RR) OMG !!!!
Love the look of the R nineT. Nice quality review mate.
Another step forward. That Neeves fella is getting good at this video
editing malarky.
I WISH SUBTITLES HAD BEEN INCLUDED ;-)
new drinking game! have a shot every time he says “refined” :P
non-adj suspension on the 9-T…. thats kinda a let down…
It’s hard to see the R NINE T as anything more than a parts bin special
dressed up with some fancy new cosmetics. Forks and brakes from the S1000R,
Engine, gearbox / transmission from the old GS, R1200R. And I’d say the
exhaust from the headers up to the silencers are straight from the R1200S
(which I have), It’s a great looking bike, but I suspect that because BMW
are going over to the new generation boxer engines, they’re using their
90th Anniversary as an opportunity to get rid of the old units quickly.
Once that’s done, (assuming they keep the bike in the line up), they’ll fit
it with the new engine as well. You watch,
I love that Rnine T, such a cool bike, Would feel tite on it in England
though, It would just get wet and manky all the time :(
MCN has finally gone 1080p!
MCN stepping up the game. Some real nice vids coming out lately! Keep up
the good work!
Awsome video, nice quality too!
Michael what is the brand of jacket you have on please ?
bmw really knows how to push buttons with that beautiful R nine T…..
Hahaha. If anything I thought Charlie and Ewan made the R1200GS seem
incompetent.
Best video for ages, cracking job
Damn. R Nine T already sold out?!? Now I want one even more now.
very nice Review and quality video! good job MCN!
keep it going :)
That RT is the size of a small building. What the fuck is the point?
Great video in terms of quality, but what’s the point if everything is so
saccharine. A bike that killed a fellow journalist just a few years ago is
described as ‘a fantastic bike’. Please grow some balls, BMW need a kick up
the the ass not reviews like this.
Vid*
Neevesy, are you puttin on weight again? Nice vid. Saw the 9er live a few
days ago and wasn’t actually as impressed as I thought I’d be. But then,
that wasn’t in sunny Spain but indoors at a fair…
Great review, really well filmed. R nine T, I want one!
best job in the world.
Retro looks great though
Great bid, thanks mcn
Good review….however there was nothing bad to say about any of the bikes
at all??
The Germans nail it again :)
Quality review guys, who ever filmed and edited this, keep them doing
exactly this.
Blah, I really like the r nine T – but that backlog is INSANE (bit pricey
too…)
LOL! Gotta get your order in soon!? This is really too bad: another
motorcycle magazine has been bought/paid for by BMW? I’ll keep riding my
paid for 950 Adventure and FJR1300: no payments and cheaper insurance
rates. Oh, and more reliable as well!!
$15k for one of the most basic bikes any money can buy, just because it
looks old… *facepalm
You guys improved, good job!
