Great review I love hearing from owners that have put some miles on their bikes much more valuable than a test ride review. Thanks! I am considering one of these for my next bike. As a side note I have a Ducati with 20,000 miles that has had zero issues.

I'm glad to hear your boxer has done what they are famous for; getting agreeably under your skin :-). They are like a loyal, comforting Labrador Retriever.

I don't know much about editing, but i really liked the Intro with the garage! Keep up the good work!

Good luck on the move Boris! Love your content. To refer to an earlier episode, it doesn't suck. In fact, I enjoy your content more than any of the other current motovloggers. You are a top tier kind of person and that is reflected through your videos.

Love that little intro :D Keep it up boris. I'm glad you still like it as much as when you got it :D

Excellent video Boris I'm glad you are son much happier with that one. The MV was just such a nightmare.

I’m riding a 2015 Classic and like you, I too am really satisfied with my choice. Nice review, thanks for your thoughts.

Good to see a new V-log. Keep up the good stuff buddy.

I just brought an 9T its incredible - will pick up on Wednesday ...so excited - love your vids ! You helped me make a decision so thank you . How do you find your mirrors! Where did you. It then

Beautiful video AS usual Boris...the new place is looking 👌

Keep going with the videos. Still one of my favorites to watch.

Hi Boris, thanks for wonderful video. Loved every bit of it. Simple and straight. I was sitting on the fence whether to but this bike or not. Your video certainly made me confident to go for it. this bike is indeed the best looking retro in the market today. Should be riding one shortly. Thank you mate 👍

Enjoyed the vid mate, had my R9T for a few months and 1100 miles and so far seems nearly perfect. Had to put bar risers to make comfortable for me. Just waiting for crappy UK weather to improve in spring to get out there.

Thx for the upload. Awesome as always! 👌

I think r9ts and xdiavels are piece of art in motorcycles! 6k on my xds and loving it as you do. I would love to own an r9t for sure!

Hey Boris. love your blogs. I too have a 2016 R9T and love it and agree with you on all points.

Waiting for the dude with the 90,000 mile reviews.

I have no BMW bike experience. I've only owned Japanese machines. I have owned 5 BMW cars. One after the other. Not one issue arose in 9 to 10 yrs of ownership. That's 5 different model cars. I didn't need to use the warranty on any. No breakdowns, nothing. My Honda bikes have been the most reliable. My 98 VFR 800fi and my 2009 Fireblade were bulletproof. Again no issues at all. Having said that I would happily buy any BMW bike. Love where you live and the lifestyle you have over there Boris. Enjoying your vlogs man. Ride safe.

Still my absolute favourite bike! See a few of them in London, it's beautiful.

I'm going to test ride one soon! Thanks for the review though!

the high mount akrapovic is in your future...i can feel it. it looks incredible, sounds incredible, and reveals that tasty swingarm!

I am glad you are happy with this bike. You had so much trouble with the other one, I think you were due for a "Love". Stay safe.

You're one of my favorite motovloggers, you keep making me antsy to get working on my 1200 streetfighter.

Beautiful area & nice to hear your thoughts.

Didn't realize you guys had moved, congrats to Raven on getting her own store!!

I need this bike. I fell in love with it trough your channel. Nice vid!

Hey buddy, Superb Review. Was looking to buy an r9T in next few months. Is it up for an updated model? Just loooking for a bike to commute.

Excellent Review!! Thank you! What bar end mirrors did you instal? They are very cool!

hey Boris, just a quick note from a long term R series lovers. My last R bike was a 2009 R1200R with the same engine you have. Great engines! But my R1200R had that silly looking little windshield up over the headlight. I was very shocked at how effective that was. Took all of the wind blast off the chest even at high speed, and just gave me a light breeze on my face. I just got back recently from almost 6 years in Germany, and I was going to buy the R nine T or nine T pure. But ran across a killer deal on a barely used 2016 1200R with all options. I couldn't pass it up. But you made mention of the wind blast at high speeds, (illegal high speed I think you put it lol). One of the things I had in mind if I got one, was there are several companies now that make a R90S cafe style fairing for them. Only slightly more windshield than I had on my 2009 1200R. I have seen one bike over in Germany that had one on it, and it looked awesome! When I spoke to the guy, he basically said the same thing about it. All the wind blast gone, and just a light breeze on the face. Might be something you want to look in to. Mounts on the fork tubes and headlight bracket. I've seen them in a very high dollar carbon fiber, and low dollar polycarbonate. If I did it, I would go with the polycarbonate in a gloss black. But that's just me. The cutouts on the side of the fairing are high enough that you don't have to lower your bars. Anyway. Good video. Hope to hear more about the adventures on your BMW. Bob back home in Nevada

Hey man ! I would like to know where you got your tail tidy and mirrors ? I'm loving my R9T

Boris -- -great review, thanks!

Subbed that editing is on point

Hey Boris, great review and I couldn't agree more with your overall praise of this bike. I just put a full set of Ohlins suspension (cartridges front, shock rear) on mine this week and I can happily and highly recommend you consider this before going with an aftermarket exhaust. The difference is immediately noticeable. If nothing else, replace the rear shock first as imo the ome rear is very stiff and you'll immediately notice a more plusher ride. Happy trails and keep the shiny side up!

I road the bike as a loaner, while my bike was getting serviced yesterday. I loved it. I did find that the pegs got in the way a bit when I was at lights, etc. But the riding position was great. Brilliant bike.

Hi Boris, first of, let me congratulate you for this nice and useful review. Then the question: I recently test-drived a 9T (scrambler) and found that there was a LOT of vibrations in the handle bar at certain speeds (above +- 75mph). Do you have the same feeling? I intend to buy a 9T classic (like yours), and it's the same motor. So I feel a little bit concerned about this. For everything else, the ride was a pure pleasure :) Thanks

Love the R9-T, and welcome to north county 👌

Great review Boris I have the scrambler and love the bike.

Well.....I'm gonna miss all the San Diego stuff. I was hoping at one point you might have...may have...could have gone to the SD Sector Nine skate store. My nephew is part owner there, so, you know, family love. However...........we now get to see new beaches, roads, streets, and highway shenanigans, which is a good thing. So......vlog on, Boris! Can't wait for all new stuff to see with you!

How about the seat, I hear it's quite uncomfortable? What are your thoughts on the Seat's comfortability?

Working with my local BMW dealer on a 2017 RnineT Pure that was a demo bike. 1500 miles with full factory warranty for a killer price. I currently own a Yamaha FZ6 and have owned all Japanese bikes previous to that so I'm a little nervous about the cost of ownership and shorter service intervals compared to the FZ6 (26k valve check intervals!). Is that a legitimate concern? Do things like valve checks/adjustments, for example, cost an arm and a leg at the dealer? I simply have no experience with the boxer motor or the brand itself. Any insight you could provide me would be most appreciated. Subscribed.

Noticed you ride Triumph bobber now.How would you compare both since you had both or still have the bobber.Thank you

Great job brother... and I love the Rizoma BS070B Reverse Retro Mirrors... :-) Yes, I am the GM of Rizoma USA for North America... haha

She sure is pretty, and way better luck for you lol. What exhaust are you scoping out? I saw an aftermarket Akrapovic that tucks up right by the seat and shows the swing arm, looks sexy as hell. (I think it was a single muffler)

would you suggest a 3-4 yo with 8-9 kmiles on it as a first bike? Not to learn (have a license already) but for gaining skills, commuting etc thx

Your observation about the loose switchgear ... I agree. It’s the same on my 2019 R1250! Annoying (they cannot he tightened )

Wow, that area looks beautiful. I am happy that you're still happy with the bike, looks like a solid machine. I probably should go test one. On second thought, I probably shouldn't, because my wallet might be really light after. Also, get another fob and wire it to the high beams (or just keep it in your jacket pocket, so you can just tap the pocket).

I'm up in Huntington Beach! Your bike is beautiful!

Great video. So at the moment you are running a stock exhaust with the baffles out? I’m looking at a new 19 9 T in the rally version. Need to find my Harley a new home.

Great bike the R Nine T has such a great presence. The boxer motor exhaust sounds nice with your mods. It's a simple elegant design. Thought you moved to HB - not quite ha!

Boris..Brother! I was waiting for this video dude. I was curious how you liked or disliked the r nine t. I'm still loving mine and I had no idea about the tank?! Mine has no weld either which is super awesome to know that it's considered rare! Congrats on the new move also hope you and the little lady enjoy your new crib. Did you ever hear about what happened to the biker in that wreck? Is he or she ok? Rock on Boris love your vids mane!

What mirrors do you have on your bike? Thinking of putting them on a Aprilia 1100 r

Great Vid Bozza!

:15 I used to do that. Then I bought an extra aftermarket button that I store in the breast pocket of my jacket. Makes it easy when getting back to the garage. Hit it, and ride in :)

Nice review, that issue you had with your garage door, been there done that! Than I got a Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Hub (Model: MYQ-G0301-D) and now just use their app on my smartphone!

You mentioned that one would need ABS, but since i bought a used Yamaha FZ07 in December without it i´m kinda worried now :D Im a beginner (its my first bike) and i will probably own it for a while so there is no way that i can buy another bike. I asked some people and some say its very important, whereas other say its not essential. So what are your thoughts on that topic? The lively way you talk, makes your videos very entertaining to watch :) keep it up. Also the nice weather...man, i wish i would live in a less rainy country.

#Boris on motorcycles what is your tail tidy and bar end mirrors, i have the black version of this lol.

Hey Boris! I'm about to buy a 2018 R Nine T. What phone mount are you using?

Love at first sight in regards to the R nine T.

Do you get saddle sore after long rides? The Nine T is pretty much my dream bike as well...WANT!

love your bike and your video. I ride a 2014 monster 1200 and I'm at 20K miles on it. Only issue I've had so far was a leaking radiator @ 19K miles which McGraw extended warranty covered. Other than that it has been a very solid bike.

I have test rode 2017 and fell in love with it but my only concern was the tyres because they are not tubeless which means you cannot repair them on the road.What do you think??? Also the indicators are a bit small to see clearly but i kept look at them while riding because new 2017 indicators are so beautiful. I loved the exhaust sound, especially when it backfires when i let go the throttle. Brakes are great, especially rear brake suprised me, it may be the best one i have seen. Thanks for the video, drive safe.

How does it compare to the scrambler I thought that bike was very uncomfortable after only 30 miles with a passenger

Nice to hear this bike has been the complete opposite of the MV, totally troublefree ownership! :) And S21s are great, I have had it for couple thousand miles now.

My S1000R had the same wobbly LH grip and switch block. Tightened up the little screws and problem fixed.

When you did the valve check, how do you get the spark plug cover off without breaking it (like I just did on a camhead GS...derp). I don't mean the stick coil, but the plastic dust cover that is on top of the stick coil and and top of the valve cover.

hi a question from holland. i'm getting rid of my completely customized harley rocker. looks really good but after finishing the rebuild of the bike and spending too much money on parts and labour my "needs" on a bike seem to have changed. yeah sure the bike looms great and is a real head turner but it doesn't give a me smooth ride, comfort and an easy to use and ride bike. So i went for a test drive with the r nine t pure (because the scrambler wasnt available). loved the way it feels and handles but hate how it looks. i really like the scrambler and the r nine t like you own. i've watches tons of videos on the scrambler and the original nine t. i went for a testdrive on the scrambler but i really didn't like the off road tires and the stearing is really different. the dealer said it couls be caused by the type of tire. im up to speed with the technical differnce between the r nine t ans te svrambler but i'm still make up my mind about which model to chose. on the scrambler i like the style and the bigger front wheel but the seat seems less comfortable and the tachometer and gear indicator are missing if you ad these you get to the price of an r nine t. but the seat of the r nine t and the stance are not how i like them. so this is becomig a long story. any advice on your side on the models? thanka in advance! like this vlog has been helpfull for me.

How’s this bike for a 1st time beginners bike and an everyday commuter ? Lookin to buy one for my first bike , learned how to ride on a dirtbike now looking for a street legal bike for better practice

What is the type of drive. It doesn't look like a chain drive for sure. I'm a new biker. G 310 R. Some day I would like to upgrade to the R Nine T..! Also, do you think it will have overheating issues in a country like India and due to the fact that it is air cooled?

take note guys, 10:55, this is how you pronounce Akrapovic ;)

"Ooooh.... my hat!!!" - Indi would say. Haha... nice video, boris. Finally :D

Boris on Bikes I have my sport classic that I bought from Copart with 13k miles. After I replaced a few damaged item on it I put about 5k miles in two month with zero issues. I know Ducati has a bad reputation on some of their models especially older ones but I am amazed at how trouble free my bike has been. That being said the RnineT was on my list of bikes to trade my 1978 BMW R80/7 which I loved. It's nice to see you enjoying you BMW, they are no doubt one of the most reliable and best packaged bikes out there. The price of admission is definitely worth every penny.

So reliability aside, would you say you are enjoying this bike more than the Veloce? Im asking because of all the bikes i have ridden in the past, BMers tend to be the most ''numb'' a lot of owners have told me that they feel kinda cut-off from the action.

Curious if you still your 2016 r nine t - how many miles on your bike now and how is the reliability? Any issues? Am asking because am looking to purchase a used one. Thanks.

That's a perfect bike, I love it !! Someday I'll buy it for real, it will be my next bike, but I have a question for you about the high of the sit and, how tall are you ? Hahaha thanks. (Weird question, I know).

I feel the same way about the exhaust. I want the beauty of the single sided swingarm to be visible and undecided which exhaust to go with. Do I get the "S" pipe for the high mount or do I got with a short can like the Competition Werkes GP slipon? How do you feel about this?

I already miss the SD sights! That was a bonus for me but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Couldn't be more perfect. A fellow San Diegan, and reviewing the bike I've been researching. You mentioned your girl works at Cycle Gear. I went there a few days ago. And I went to the same BMW dealership you picked this bike up from, today. Haha. Drooled all over the different R Nine T variants and came back. Love naked bikes with a retro look. That narrows down my search quite a bit. This is the only one that comes close, besides some other scramblers etc. I'm seriously considering this bike. Is there anything I should look for, ask about, or keep in mind etc.? Subscribed. :D

Hey Boris, how does the dry clutch feel vs. a wet clutch? Any problems with overheating in traffic or faster wear? Thanks.

I have the 2016 BMW R nineT Brushed Aluminium tank plus the single high Akrapovic exhaust with no baffle. Sounds great. I have issues with the foot pegs being in the way when stopped. Commuting everyday in Winter is ruining my bike tough - it's always looking messy and muddy. Yuk. I'm going to tour Southern England in the summer so I will post up some videos of mine then.

Nice review, would this be a good everyday commuter?

Could I learn to ride on this bike? I’m not going the buy small/cheap and then upgrade route.

hey man. im 23 soon and think its time to own my dream bike. im on the look out for an r nine t 2014 reg just outta warranty ( lower cost and i do a lot of maintenance myself). Also i have no aspiration to own one of these from new as , as far i can see, i dont see what can go wrong on this bike... no real electrics to give you gripe; a tried and test air cooled boxer ; shaft drive... as long as its well looked after i think this bike will last a long time(well probs only until e bikes take over). Anyway, my only potential gripe is that im an all year rider and am not familiar with how well the paint and finish on bmws hold up vs a UK winter . Loving your channel and your vids - i will be watching very closely to see what you can throw at your nine T

R ninet vs the new R1250R? To commute everyday what about the luggage? Side bags or top case for the ninet?Thanks in advance for your help

Very nice and pleasing video ! I was just wondering how tall you are. I am a bit concerned about mine (6'1) and the low seat of the NineT...

hey Boris. Can you or anyone else with a NineT tell me how they hold up to rain and crud? Because it's a naked bike is there any signs of corrosion on exposed parts and metal?

When I test rode one of these, it had a decent amount of handlebar vibration. By the end of our 30 minute ride, my hands were becoming a bit numb. Have you experienced anything like this? Supremely nice bike otherwise.

Boris, Where can I purchase mirrors like yours, I own a BMW R1200R 2015

I got in love with bikes especially the r9t scrambler bc of this video

Another good video :-)

Hey Boris! How difficult was it to remove the baffles? Did you just undo those screws around the tip of the exhaust to remove them?

I just bought a new (to me, anyway) last week. I really wanted an r9t, but when I took it for a test ride I realized I'm way too short for it (and pretty much all sportier bikes...). I ended up with a Bonneville Bobber. After a few days of being bummed about not being on an r9t I've realized that I'm really happy with it. Good for all you tall guys, but I need something shorter lol

Thanks for the review, can you comment on passenger comfort? I went looking for a leftover '16 but by the time I got to the dealer it was sold. They basically had the '17 version of your bike for $16 k...it was beautiful but dayumn, it's spensive.

Hi Boris i am planing to buy a 2015 R Nine T with 25000 miles on it. Just wanted to know if you have and issues with the bike maintenance wise after posting this vlog i am assuming you must have reached or may be closing this range on this bike, and if you would be kind enough to let me know what should i be looking for when i but it? Thanks

O'side or No Side. Aaahhhhhh sheeeeeiiiittt, there's a Boris in my neighborhood now. Good ride = coast highway all the way down to Del Mar. on the weekends there are many beautiful sights walking around 😉

Do you recommend it for a new biker? Of course with traction control on it , also do you know what are the differences between the 2016 and 2017 model ?

Why not move/add an easily accessible switch near the door, or a remote?!

Hi Boris: Great videos! What mirrors are those? They look great

The garage door struggle is real! I broke down and bought a universal remote that fits in my jacket pocket. Chamberlain Model KLIK3U. 2 buttons so it works on our community gate as well.

Are there hard bags and windshields available so it would be practical for long distance riding? Reminds me of my old R65 which was a great bike. Rode that coast to coast death valley to top of pikes peak.

I’ve had a used rebel 500 for about two years and I haven’t had a chance to test ride the r ninet yet but it’s the best looking bike I’ve ever seen and am really looking forward to my test ride. I’ve got family in bmw so I can hopefully haggle the price down :)
