    • @sergeyakinin997
      @sergeyakinin997 Před 8 lety +1

      +Mars Marsian I would hate to drop and scratch that baby as my first bike... It is my only bike at the moment though - I stopped riding the sportbike after getting this. It's not heavy or unmanageable in any way. An FZ07 or a new Bonneville would be a good first bike... most will tell you a Ninja 250 or CB500 - but I find those to be very appliance (lawn mower) like... they'll get old quick. If you're a reasonable driver and will give a motorcycle the respect it deserves, you'll be OK with something more powerful than a 250.

    • @marsmarsian4932
      @marsmarsian4932 Před 8 lety +2

      Ok, that I understand. I started with an used Honda Hornet 600 4 years ago, I dropped her twice and thought it was a good idea to have an inexpensive bike. Now I just bought a XSR700 since I still love handy bikes. The R Nine T is sexy as hell, but I would feel bad to park her out on the street every night.

    • @marsmarsian4932
      @marsmarsian4932 Před 8 lety +1

      I was just startled because I thought he meant this is a bike you buy, when you already own another bike.

    • @user-sw2lv3zp6o
      @user-sw2lv3zp6o Před 8 lety

      +Mars Marsian I had a R1100GS for 14 years which ended up as a second bike. I miss it. I'd love one of these R Nines, preferably the new Sport, but they are so expensive. The fact it doesn't have excessive electrics is good, though. Less to go wrong ... and BMWs do, whatever the PR machine tells you.

    If they understood how to make a good looking bike I would buy. I'm addicted to it but only baak can make the r nine t look good.
    Stock, uniform colours. Why is the frame under the seat standing out like a sort thumb? What is with the intake on the right side of the bike it's colour doesn't blend property to the bike. If they are going to call it a retro bike at least do it justice.
    Having said that I like everything else about the bike but fuck man it's ugly. I find the simple Triumph Street twin or t120 looks much better although with less power.
    The Germans should get a better designer. Honestly even the new 2019 colour options are a joke its like someone said styling was bad so they made new colour options but they still don't get it

    • @JonQuirkUK
      @JonQuirkUK Před 9 lety +5

      Atlacatl Thanks for watching, Atlacatl. Brake horsepower is the most widely used measurement of engine power in the UK, so for consistency, we present everything in brake horsepower (BHP). BHP is the power delivered to and measured at the engine's crankshaft, minus frictional losses in the transmission and other auxiliaries, whereas the HP figure doesn't account for those losses.

  • @505197
    @505197 Před 8 lety +1

    Naked bikes are great until you reach about 50 mph. Then the wind noise inside the helmet prevents one from talking to one's self. If you hit a rain storm at 70 mph it will drive drops straight through your helmet, and it'll rip the skin off of your face. If rain fell at 70 mph we'd have to use cast iron umbrellas, maybe kevlar would stop it, but I wouldn't want to take a chance. If you hit a dense fog at 120 mph it'll shred your leathers. Snowflakes are even worse than rain, they are frozen into countless spikes that are hard as diamonds.
    If there is any chance of encountering moisture of any sort, I stay inside and monitor the weather channel. Nothing beats a crop killing drought, dust devils are a rider's best friend.

    • @marsmarsian4932
      @marsmarsian4932 Před 8 lety +5

      +505197 I strongly disagree. On my old naked honda, 87 mph was a great travel speed. Over 160mph my neck started to hurt though ;) but where outside of germany you can actually ride so fast? In a storm you have to slow down of course, but I suggest you do that on any bike. Maybe you should consider bying a new helmet ;)

    • @jungle5507
      @jungle5507 Před 7 lety +1

      505197 nope. I can vouch for the fact that rain will not enter a Shoei GT Air at over 100mph on an R9T. Nor will wind noise stop you talking to yourself. I'll put a vid up to show you noise over 50mph next week.

    Whoever is doing the fuel range calculations in these videos should be fired immediately. They're almost always wrong. 18 liter tank is equal to 4 imperial gallons or 4.75 US liquid gallons:
    40.5 MPG × 4 imp. gallons = 162 miles
    40.5 MPG × 4.75 US gallons = 192 mile NOT 310 miles. More like 310 kms.
