Thanks for giving it a watch, Ward ! 👍🏼
This bike gives me the same vibes as some of the custom K100 Cafe Racers I've seen. Very cool package bet it rides like a dream.

Let us know if you choose one, Terry. Cheers!
Enjoyed your review. Cleared up all the questions I had having sat on the bike this afternoon at the dealership including about the wheel. To be honest the bike felt a bit chunky. Wondering about the reliability of the Boxer engine and the heat issue if any. The new 40 year anniversary graphic was absolutely beautiful in person. Going back for a test ride next week. Looking at your review, it brings back old memories having lived there for 35 years of my life in the valley. Sub'd.

Thanks Trex! 👍🏼 Let me know what you think of the test ride. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised, and I came away from it with a much better understanding of the appeal of this variant of the R NineT.
It looks and sounds good. I was out yesterday kicking tires again on a new GSA. It will have to be the low suspension for me with my 30” inseam - the standard is just too tall even with the low seat. How’s Kenny - your parking lot coffee chats were always good.

Low suspension should work for you on the GSA. Kenny’s great! No doubt we’ll get him back again for more.
Here’s that BMW content we’ve been waiting for 👍 Some people claim a cramped feet/leg position, your take?

Felt a little when I first got on but quickly forgot about it. But my legs are short!
Just sold my GS 1200 rallye yesterday , thinking of picking a used R9t scrambler as an everyday bike and living in a smaller mountainous area . I hear the suspension is quite mediocre on this . How did you find it especially coming from a 1250 GS ? Appreciate your feedback back . I realise this was 2 years ago though .

The suspension on the R9T is of course nowhere near as sophisticated. For “be-bopping” around it is perfectly adequate, but you’ll notice it in aggressive cornering for sure. That said, it’s a fun and comfortable bike.

Would you recommend for first bike?

Sam, that's a great question. It is a difficult one to answer without more context. While the R9T handles well (and predictably), and while it has ABS and traction control, I don't think most folks would recommend a bike with this much displacement (and the corresponding horsepower and torque) as a first bike for someone with no riding experience. That kind of power can get a novice into trouble. It is also a relatively expensive bike and would be costly to repair from tipovers, drops and (God forbid) crashes. So, no, I think I would recommend something with less power as a first bike.

So, you have the regular scrambler, then the urban. But the urban has more travel then the regular scrambler. Puzzling marketing😂 they should call the Urban the “GS Scrambler” and the regular scrambler the Urban. See BMW, I’ve just solved your problem😂
