The 2018 R9T Urban GS rounds out the classic line up from BMW with a fifth choice if the other models don't suit you, or you just want something different. It's tons of fun!

RIP cal moto. Your videos inpired me to get into bikes again, like they did to many others. Its a shame we dont have you with us anymore. I dont know a lot about you, dont even know your name, never met you. Its heart wrenching to know you are no more. You lived doing what you really enjoyed. That in itself is an inspiration. Hope you didn’t have to suffer too much before you left. Luv you bro. Ride on where ever you are. I know you are.

Added a 20mm wunderlich handle bar riser to sit more up right on a motard position & a bmw black canvas panier on the right side, that can be removed & used as a shoulder carry bag.

As far as I can see, it is just the tires. I'm pretty sure the geometry is the same, and they both have 19" front wheels. Perhaps I've just ridden them enough by now and an used to the feel. I think I was a bit harsh on the Scrambler because the tires really pissed me off:)
