- This is the full review of the BMW R nine T pure by Knox in the Lake District - England.
Everyone at Knox loves the RnineT and its not hard to see why, great looks, great engine, nice handling, fantastic brakes, it’s a truly great all-around motorcycle package and still up there with the best heritage style bikes available in Europe in 2019 in our opinion.
The BMW rnineT pure that we had on loan from BMW Motorrad UK was the RnineT pure sport edition and comes with a few extra bells and whistles which are really nice including heated grips (fantastic), spoked wheels and LED lights, plus it has another £2,000 of SPEZIAL parts fitted to it as per below:
OTR price for R nineT Pure Sport - £10,930
Price for your spec is - £13,225
Including - Spezial (BMW’s heritage parts range) cylinder covers, under seat frame, brake and clutch levers, rear-sets, rear pegs, alternator belt cover, master cylinder lids.
You can find more of the full specs and images available on the BMW website, www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/mod....
As you can tell from the review we are fans and no doubt it is a great bike!

great and very classy review. I like the looks of the video and the high quality. liked and subbed 👍🏼
yeah except he doesn’t know what radial mounted brakes look like
Saved up for 4 years and got the original version. It's the perfect bike
The original RnineT is awesome, more sporty than this one and absolutely fantastic! Thanks, Aaron.
dont you ever find the boxer engine looks kind of odd? that is the only thing that is blocking me to buy one. it looks odd since the day I saw one, the boxer engine. Otherwise, I love to get one.
@@amotorcyclerider3230 you have to ride one. I personally love the look of the engine. It makes it look huge and wide. Compared to some bikes which looks like a bicycle.
So true. I never liked the look of boxer engines until I rode the original R nineT. It changed everything, I was instantly hooked
I have a 2014 r 1200 r and that engine make it all. Well, it’s kinda a Gt Nine t if the bike were released later on. I love to have the traditional bmw buttons witch disapears in all other models of the same year. But you can’t go wrong with that engine. I have 81000km on the clock and will keep it
I have both Pure and Knox protection. Perfect combination. Thanks Knox for the innovation
Had one for two years now. 35 000km. Runs great! I absolutely love it! About the gearshift...I adjusted the lever/rod arrangement and now it's much more smooth, no clonk when putting it into first gear. :-) Oh and the bike is not too wide, your gate is too narrow!
One of my favorite bikes and the colour you mentioned looks awesome too , another great review Aaron 👌
Thanks for the feedback Andy, yes the colour choice would be mine too every time!!! Aaron 🍻
You are right, a fantastic wide Lady, "Ninette" , Rnine T pure, iconic purity. Just finished my run in time at 1212 km. Fall more in love wirh this bike with every new experience. After having run on a R45, 1980 now RnineT 2021, 27 PS to 110 PS...40 year comparison of BMW Expertise. An absolute pleasure to ride, !
Your Rhodesian German Biking Friend, Adrian :-)
Thanks Adrian! All the best, Aaron KNOX
How beautiful is it. You can have everything ,every bike.And still go for this its like the cherry on the top.
I've had an R80GS and an R100GS great bikes. Things I love about them is the shaft drive, low/ mid range. The love to go hard all day or cruise. No chains to oil or adjust- just enjoy riding them.
This is also one of my favourite bikes. I fell in love as soon as I rode one. Never rode the Pure variant but the full fledged R NineT and Scrambler.
😀. They are great, Ive ridden the RnineT (the original with higher spec) and this one. They are very similar really and I would expect the scrambler to be too, its just a different look and different tyres etc. The original RnineT is probably a bit more sports orientated though and that suits the bike quite well! Thanks Aaron.
One of the best filmed reviews. 👍
Thanks Ricardo, really appreciate it! Aaron, Knox.
Watched the video for the 3rd time already. Its so beautifully made. I guess its time to finally get myself a pure
Hi Mina, thanks so much for the kind feedback and support. The bike really is great! Aaron, Knox.
Great review! Sexiest bike out now and you’ve caught it at its best angles. Nice work, guys.
Thanks Justin, really appreciate the feedback! 😄 Aaron, Knox
Solid review. Appreciate your candor. I feel the same way; I love the simplicity and beauty of this bike - so much that I I’m going to purchase one.
Thanks Matt! Aaron Knox
Yeah absolutely love this bike. Great filming and production you guys. This video looks really nice.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Aaron KNOX
Pure & Scrambler my two favourites in the BMW Heritage range
Amazing looking bike and this review was top class
Thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciate it! Aaron KNOX
this bike is my dream .
very nice video. keep going! i like your voice, great pictures/angles.
Thanks for the feedback!! ;) Aaron, Knox.
A year in and I still love my RnineT Pure. I upgraded the suspension since I’m a, um..., “thick” man... but that made a huge difference. I would buy it again...
Thats great, thanks John! 😀 Aaron.
What suspension ?
Great review!! I love this bike so much I bought one ☝️ it has an addictive sound and grunt in any gear ... i ride around 70 miles a day on country lanes, A roads and in town, it does the lot .. great bike 🤙
Awesome, great choice! Aaron, Knox
A really piece of art!
Nice re view. Well done Mate!
Thanks Stanley! Aaron KNOX
Nice review and beautiful scenarios! ;) nice bike too, I sit on it during Eicma and found it confortable too (I’m 1,83m and found other bikes a little small, but this one seemed to fit good)
Thanks for the feedback! Aaron, Knox
Great review, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Best review and i love knox products
Thanks Enrique!! Thanks Aaron Knox ✌
Depending on your body size, you may be able to easily top out the suspension settings on this version. My friend has maxed his settings out at 200lbs with full gear and its evident it needs aftermarket springs.
Great review. I like the extras on it too. Think the Pure is the nicest of the range
Thanks Marcus! 😀
This review is perfect!
Thanks Dario, glad you liked it! Aaron KNOX
Nice review! Well done 👍
Thanks, we're trying!! Thanks Aaron Knox
my favorite bike
Video was...fantastic!
Thanks Benedict! Aaron, Knox
I love the look of that engine
Definately, 🔥. Thanks, Aaron - Knox
Style, class and elegance three elements that distinguish your video.
Congratulations indeed from any Italian.
Hi Giuseppe, thanks a lot for your kind feedback! All the best from the UK! Aaron KNOX
Hi !! I also want to add my compliments regarding the quality of this video and of course of the channel. I have lost to count how many times I’ve seen this test ride and finally I’ve got my nine t pure (2017).... Greetings from Sorrento Italy
I wish they’d make an exact duplicate of the R100R.Always wanted one of those.
Mission Impossible 6 made me fall in love with dis bike. Cheers
Yes, of course!!! It's a great bike! Thanks Aaron Knox
Agree 😃
That was such a cool movie! I saw it in the IMAX twice!
that scene made me want to pull my hair out but thanfully im bald. they could not be arsed to make a new engine sound profile so it sounds like an inline 4 cyl in the movie... so lame
@sleepingbear rly Sherlock?
The Pure to me, is the one to go for!
nice review
Great video fantastic looking bike 🇬🇧👍
Thanks Richard, appreciate it! Aaron KNOX
Good review
Great video!
Thanks a lot! Aaron KNOX
This is my bike im so happy!
Lucky! 😀 Aaron, Knox
I never dreamed about a BMW until I found it on TH-cam in a video called the 10 best retro bikes under $10K last October. I didn't believe it and went to the nearest BMW dealer to check it out. They had one with an orange/gold tank and wired wheels for $12,250. Of course the video had a click bait but I didn't expect a bike like that under $10K. What I really liked was one with black and white tank, white fender and black aluminum wheels! That's the perfect color for that bike! I am surprised that BMW even offers the grey color; to me that ruins that great motorcycle! Anything but grey, please. (No offense!)
I searched the web for the black and white and found it only at one dealer in San Jose California, San Jose BMW, 375 miles from Los Angeles. I paid $475 to hold it and to install a Wunderlich windshield and flew up there a week later. Their price was $11,750! They picked me up at the airport and even switched the wheels for cast aluminum because what they had had wired spoke wheels but their website showed the cast wheels! I was told that it was to only bike with that color and wheels in the US at the time! The next day I was on the way home and after a stop half way overnight I got back home the following day.
That was the ride of my life! I was surprised how comfortable the ride was on the smooth freeway 101. The windshield made a big difference. The only thing I added was a pair of saddlebags and replaced the plastic oil filler plug with aluminum.
Everything you said is basically true; what I'd add is that BMW could've made the foot pegs a bit larger but for the price one cannot imagine a better roadster. I am a happy camper and this BMW makes a perfect addition to my 1999 Kawasaki Voyager XII and the 2016 Triumph America LT!
Had mine 6 years love it airbox removal Remus exhaust ac schnitzer alloys X-ray transparent covers …….
Very nice review and great equipment. Would love to see a comparison video with the Speed Twin, the Kawasaki and the Yamaha XSR - each bike seems to bring such a different package to the mix. I do appreciate the manner in which motorcycle companies are playing with the heritage/classic concept.
To be fair, they are all great bikes and its pretty difficult to knock any of them... Probably comes down to looks, price and what bike takes your heart! :) Thanks, Aaron Knox
Great review - thank you!
Thanks Raymond, appreciate it! 🤘 Aaron, Knox
My fav bike 🙂♥️
I want this bike 🙃
Dream bike but I think I would go with scrambler version. 👍
That motorcycle .....slay me 😍😍😍
Great review, lovely machine. For me it would be a hard choice between one of these and the new Triumph Speed Twin.
Thanks for the feedback. Both great bikes no doubt! Thanks, Aaron.
Nine t pure is my bike and i love it 🕶🕶
Could have dropped the music and had more exhaust rasp , great review though, thank you 🙏. Agree the 719 Gold colour scheme, is stunning.
I love bmw and my dream r nine t 👍👍
🤟🤟
This page is so underrated this crew probably give brilliant review you can ever get it what a class and yep it's my fav bike not just one of my fav
.. but only favorite 🔥
Thanks glad you think so! Aaron KNOX
I like this bike alot.
Great review Aaron!
Thanks John! You have probably ridden it right?? Thanks Aaron
Nice!
I’d like to see it with a windscreen and panniers like the old R100R.
I have a 2014 r 1200 r and that engine make it all. Well, it’s kinda a Gt Nine t if the bike were released later on. I love to have the traditional bmw buttons witch disapears in all other models of the same year. But you can’t go wrong with that engine. I have 81000km on the clock and will keep it
Thanks for the video - try some loctite on the bolts for the mirrors...
Thanks Todd, great advice!! Aaron Knox
Great review, my dream bike, especially the flat twin engine.
For some reason this bike is cheaper here in USA, only $9995 (+taxes)
WHAT, only 9999? In The Netherlands the fuckers make us pay 23.000 euro's for this bike, thats about 25-26.000 dollar. What the fuck
It's 18k usd here in the Philippines :(
Are you sure? Thats even cheaper than in Germany
I paid 10995 for the base pure.
Cool, what's the chill Hop on this video pls
I love it BMW
my next bike. coming soon.
I would love to own and customize one to look like the one in the movie The Great Escape that Steve MCQueen rode , with those big front & rear fenders .
Steve McQueen's ride was a 1961 Triumph TR6 Trophy model disguised as German BMW R75 .
Awesome bike
Fantastic - 🔥. Thanks, Aaron - Knox
This bike is classy
I love this bike, iv got the RnineT Racer 😃
Great choice Michelle, brilliant bike! You like the Racer version? Aaron.
@@KnoxArmour 😃 Yes love it, it feels so old school compared to my s1000R 😃
Must be the UK weather making the gear shift problem..., I've had my fully customized R9T classic for 4 years and never had a problem down here in NZ.
I've been riding for over 50 years, 30 of those as a professional bike mechanic and so have ridden thousands of bikes and believe me I can't keep off it, it's that satisfying.
Yes, it could be our bike, or our freezing weather ;). Having said that Ive since talked to others who have had the same issues.. its not really a major issue, its just that it takes a few times to get it in gear. Believe they had the same issue on one of the Mission Impossible films where they had to retake a load of times due to it not going into gear from neutral very easily. All the best, Aaron KNOX
I’ve got a 2017 standard R Nine T with an all aluminium tank with the centre weld. I couldn’t agree more with the points made in this video. It really is a head turner too. You wouldn’t regret buying one.
Thanks Neil, the model you've got is my personal favourite! Aaron, Knox.
savage!
I want to this motorbike which is going to be my first time to ride it but I'm scared at the same time because I heard many guys have accidents with motorbikes!! Overall this bike is absolutely Sick! Any advice gentlemen!?
A quick advise, I have a brand new Yamaha Tracer 900 with 3 cases and several accessories. Would you change the Tracer 900 for BMW R Nine T Scrambler 2020?
"However, the Chav within..." What a comment 😂
🤣 got to take the mick out of yourself sometimes!
I am always confused that no one thinks it's going to rain or get colder on a ride ..The first thing I want to find is a back rack for a duffle to carry the old Belstaff or rain gear and a sweater for after dark Maybe some long Johns ....and a different pair of gloves and a few wenches for that mirror ,, AT least this bike does not need the chain lube and wrenches for adjusting the chain half way around Scotland . I miss my 1978 R80 and my 1961 R96S with that amazing Elres Fork up front ..I would love to see THAT back in the world ... With 50 years of riding an R69s with new brakes is just about all I would ever want .This may be as close as I'll get :) . WIth the new R18 they could think of an R80 /5 modern retro ...
😍
Nicely made granted.
Think I might go for the 1200 Monster Ducati. More power. 110 is a tad lower than the Duke...At I guess 145 ish?
Oh! my goddess main character rode this bike.
Classics are always better this is new generation version though sounds similar.
Know what you mean by the neutral issue, had that on my Ducati monster and it went on 1600 miles. Same on the mirrors, Alan key sorted that out. That R Nine 9 Pure is gorgeous! 😊
On my '15 nine T the neutral to 1st issue is very minor and only when I first start it up. Once the bike is warm it doesn't happen and finding neutral has never been an issue. Never had an issue with the mirrors. Great bike and I'm quite happy with it.
Loose mirrors are a pain. Had that on my Yamaha. One small adjustment then your looking for two spanners to tighten it
This is a cool motorcycle_
HST have missed it:) What year is this model?
nice review! I'm looking for a retro motorcycle which is good as a first "A" bike. I really like this one & the R nine T. I also like the bonneville T100. I'm riding a CB300R right now for two years (my first motorcycle), which is an A2 bike. Do you have any idea which bike is suitable as my first real A bike? thank youuu
Thanks for the comment. Well this is a good first big bike, but we've just got the Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 and that is almost perfect for the next step up, you should check that out. Thanks, Aaron Knox
Once I learned the process of changing the air filter, it sort of ruined the idea and appreciation of it to me?
Pillions aren’t mentioned. Engine wise it has the capacity to take a pillion, but not comfort or safety wise. The RnineT is most suited for solo riding.
Nonsense -- a pillion would have no trouble.
Daqui uns 30 anos chega no Brasil 🤷🏻♂️🥺💔
Excellent video. I sorely wish I lived in such a beautiful place. I have long been a fan of the r9t and the 2021 models look nicer than ever. I recently bought a Ducati Scambler and commute for 40 minutes through central Paris and outskirts and the Ducati seems as good as it can get for the purposes but...I am tempted to switch to the r9t in a year or so just because it is so beautiful, well made and reliable. Have you tried it in dense city traffic? I spend half the time filtering and I'm concerned that the extra weight and width would be a handicap. Also, I have the same gear problem with the Ducati between first and neutral, do you know if BMW has since improved the box on the new R9ts? That is my main grip with the Scrambler.
Hi Tony, thanks for your kind feedback! Yes, we are very fortunate to live here, we are into the Lake District in around 10 minutes! I think that the RnineT will be OK in traffic, but definitely it is wider than other models... the weight isn't an issue in my experience, it is all very low to the ground and you don't really feel it. Ref the gear box, no I don't know whether its been improved since, but there are a few bikes out there that have the same, to be fair the Vitpilen 701 we had recently also had a similar issue. Hope that helps. Thanks, Aaron KNOX
@@KnoxArmour Thanks Aaron. Love the Lake District. Lightening lockdown this weekend in Paris, so I'll set up a test. Keep up the good work. Take care, Tony
Best looking bike they make.Do they make panniers for it?Nice video,thank you.👍
Thanks Brian😀!! Loads of choices bow for the RnineT, plus loads if soft luggage options. Thanks, Aaron, Knox
Knox Armour
Thank you for the info Aaron.A set of hard panniers would be nice.I think they improve the look of the bike as well, by hiding the huge space between the rear tire and fender.Love the sound of the boxer twin!✌️
coooooooolllllll
finding the first gear is a 'thing'. The trick is to hold the gear lever down to find first and gently let out the clutch. It'll snick in every time.
i just rock the bike back and forth
I have 2 R9t’s and have no problems with any gear/neutral selection. Interesting that some have this problem
Bought a sport roadster in 2016 huge mods air box delete removed passenger pegs, chrome c6clinder covers decat rapid bike evo ac schnitzel wheels clips on s and on
I have an r nine t myself, I do enjoy the bike although the suspension and brakes would have to be the worst I've felt on any of the dozen bikes I've owned over the years. Particularly for the price.
Kristian Green: if you want poor brakes and suspension try my Heritage Softail. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder lol
Wow
Awesome review. Have my eye on this bike for a while. Would I be too tall for it though? I’m 6.1
Hi Diogo, actually Rick English, who was riding on some of the shots is about 6.1 and found it great. Best to go have a sit on one though and see yourself, overall a super great bike! Aaron, Knox.
Knox Armour thank you so much 👍🏼
I agree. I was wondering the same (6", 182cm, 165 pounds, 75KG) but really found it super comfortable with a slightly sportive seating position. I personally would lower the foot pegs a little to get a better angle on the knees.
Received my handroid pod today but not the right fit :( sad
My dream bike 😁😁
Yes it is amazing! Aaron KNOX
Yeah i know although it's expensive but worth it. Maybe soon i can buy that bike :) please help me by subscribing to my channel thank you and Godbless 😀💪👆
Is there an option for an OEM tachometer?
Radial brakes? Methinks they're axial. Nonetheless, lovely bike, and I'm seriously considering one of the RNineT range or a Speed Twin.
Yeah they are axial, just a mistake on my part. Great bike! Thanks, Aaron Knox
Can you upgrade the shock s
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Difficult choice Aaron R Nine or Triumphs Speed Twin actually there’s so many fabulous machines to choose from > agree it’s a benefit to able to put your own mark a machine I have quite a special Thruxton R What did you choose????
You are right Colm, there is a huge amount of choice available and almost no doubt, all are great. Of course, I could have mentioned Ducati Monster as well as another great alternative, although probably slightly less heritage! How do you like your Thruxton R? Aaron.
