They all share an 1170cc twin cam motor (the “Camhead” or “twin cam” in the generational series of BMW boxer engines), a dual overhead cam air/oil-cooled opposed “boxer” twin with big cylinder heads sticking out the side of the bike. What every R nineT bike (since 2014 - see our generational guide to the R nineT) has in common is the engine and drivetrain. For all-around utility at any kind of speed (from slow to blazing fast), the similarly-priced BMW S 1000 R is better, for example - more comfortable, higher tech, faster, and remember, similarly priced.īut the R nineT gets people like you and me to pay for the privilege of an air/oil-cooled engine from the early 2010s, a shaft drive, and to think that a tachometer and adjustable USD forks are premium features, and that you don’t need a gear shift indicator - because most of the R nineT range doesn’t come with those things standard. There are many better, cheaper bikes, but “better” is riddled with subjectivity. In a nutshell, the R nineT line of bikes is a BMW naked/minimalist roadster where you pay quite a lot for the privilege of minimalism (if you buy new). Is the R nineT decent on the highway, or am I going to get blown off the top once I clear 100 km/h (60 mph)?.Is the R nineT a good commuter - can you split lanes, and can you park it easily in weird situations?.Does the ageing boxer twin really have enough “character” to make up for it being pretty low-tech?.It’s a really good mixture of a low-tech bike setup, characterful engine, and high-tech rider aids to keep me alive.īut I was curious about what it’d be like for me, coming off Japanese sport bikes and Italian naked bikes. I’ll talk about that a bit later.Ī lot about the 2021 BMW R nineT tickles me as an everyday bike.

I eventually decided to save around 40% of the purchase price, forego cruise control, and buy a 2017 BMW R nineT. In a quest to “slow down” a little (relatively speaking), a while ago I rode the 2021 BMW R nineT (along with a few others I’d checked out in the line), and after describing riding it to friends, I thought I’d put down this 2021 BMW R nineT review.
