I gotta tell ya Shawn, with the way you talk about how much you love Beemers, I'm surprised you don't let the HD go and get the Beemer of your dreams. I know they're expensive, but you've said yourself, "You have to pay for quality." Congrats on 1300 VLOGS. Keep up the excellent work keeping us informed about maintenance and care of BRP and BMW products. You might think that sometimes you're just rambling when you go on your rips, but trust me, most of us are listening and learning. TCRS.
I love the BMW's, and will purchase one or more once I no longer work for a dealership, but never in my living days will one of my Harley's be replaced by one..! Thanks so much for watching and commenting Gerry!!
It's actually the same mounting height on both sides, you'll notice that the tops of the bags are even with the cafe cowling... The left bag is shorter at the bottom to avoid the exhaust. I like that they didn't make both bags the same size so they'd be symmetrical... Lol Thanks for watching!
Shawn, Would like like to know your opinion about adding a speed shifter to the R nine T ,not because of lazy issues, maybe would be nice on the high end. I have a 2015 model, and looking to do a little Moding to it. Considering Healtec, but they just entered the game. Also from a Tech view , do you think the charcoal filter really needs to be deleted ? After the airbox delete, and headers, just wanting to knock off some others off the check list . Thank you and ride safe.
Yep! That's my kind of bike too Shawn, some real nice touches too. Thank goodness someone had the good sense to keep the 2 'clocks' and not be tempted to slap a TFT monstrosity on there. Not sure about the 'seat hump' I'd have to see it and use it to be sure, but nice to have the option. Did you say they are not tubeless rims?
Congratulations on the 1300th Episodes of "The SmoaksVlogs", fantastic, unfortunately I can't say that I've watched all 1300, I started watching in January of 2017. But I've watched EVERYDAY since then, but it all started when I watched Your Travel Vlogs on Your other channel, that's actually where it all started, with first ride on the Barn Find out to Utah, it was all history from there on in, like many others, I became a "Smoakpeep". Keep up the Great Work and Thanks for taking Us along for the ride.
Those dogs are having a complete conversation with you. Reminds me of listening to the wolves at night when I was in the Cascades. That R9T was tremendous. BMW is just knocking them out of ball park.
Well hello Leo! On that style of bike non-symmetrical bags look just fine. Would look weird on your SGS though. There really wasn't any wind noise with your visor up; sounded great actually. Happy Saturday! Peace and love.
Cutest freakin couple I've ever seen ~ you two are a major inspiration. This is the first video of yours that I've seen, so glad I came across your channel.! Cheers from Australia
Happy 1300th! Yup, been here since Numero Uno. And on the moto vlog for a few years as well. What would I change??? Not a damn thing. Here's to many more🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍
You guys make my day... You both seem happy and content...a rare thing is this word. All the best from here in the UK Oh and i do have a 9t and lovin every ride i take it 👍
Just found your channel, some great content 👍Must take a serious amount of time to edit and upload this amount of content. Please excuse my late arrival at the 1300th! Better late than never, best wishes from England
My 2018 R9T Racer without fail, always draws a crowd. It’s my Sunday Bike, and my Harley FXDR in my Saturday Bike. Even though I need an Advil before I ride my Racer, cause the riding position is killer on my neck, but for one day Sunday Rides, I’ll be the only one at the Bike hang out with one 👍❤️
You have arrived, Vlog #1300' Congrats my friend. Keep on keeping on. LOL!!! You'll have to stop with the severe trip disease cause I'm getting it from you. But , however, my time will come. Until then. JUST MAKE ME SICK!!! LLOOLL!!!!
Man I owned a couple BMWs back when I was younger and I love the sound of the one you are driving. But now that I’m a senior I want one of those Rykers..
Smoakes, you should be payed a fortune for marketing and advertising. The massive difference between you and the normal marketing (cant use the word i was going to as your young lady may read this!!!😜😵😳. You are the REAL DEAL my friend. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe. PS AvE uses the marketing word i didnt!😦😯😎
Cool video...what a great bike! Cheers, Steve
Thanks 👍

Isn’t the reason the left bag mounted higher is to avoid hot exhaust mufflers?

Wow! Congrats on the 1300 vlogs! Good stuff, Smoak's!
Wicked Cool Motorcycle (WCM) that’s a WCM - Shawn, I think 🤔 you invented a new acronym.
Lol..! Thanks Scott!! 👍

1300 vlogs? Time flies when you're having fun!

Thank you so much @Fatguy!!
Congrats on 1300, really enjoy watching, keep em coming
Those dogs are having a complete conversation with you. Reminds me of listening to the wolves at night when I was in the Cascades. That R9T was tremendous. BMW is just knocking them out of ball park.
I have the R9T Pure that has no fuel gauge what is your average mileage doing a highway trip if you can help me out.
You are some cool guys ;-) And the bike is awesome, that's for sure!
Well hello Leo! On that style of bike non-symmetrical bags look just fine. Would look weird on your SGS though. There really wasn't any wind noise with your visor up; sounded great actually. Happy Saturday! Peace and love.
👍👍
1300 is a lot of vlog time! Congrats 🎉!!
Thanks Aadam!!
Shawn, two words.....BUY IT. Everytime you are out on a R9T you can hear the want in your voice.
With some certainty, I'm sure an R9T will follow me home at some point..! They seem to push all the right buttons for me... Lol
Thanks Doug!
Congrats on 1300 We enjoy them.
Beautiful place ...
Where is it.
Which one you prefer, the Scrambler or this Ninet? Which one is more confortable? Congratulations as always.
This RnineT by a mile, but the price goes way up..!
Thanks!
Thank you, yes this special edición looks amazing.
Love the Rhine T, thanks for the ride. Congrats on 1300 consecutive vlogs!👍
The gearbox on that bike sounds super smooth. Normally there’s a heavy clunk when changing gear on a boxer twin; not on that bike though 👏🏻
Not any more. My 2018 RT is also smooth as butter. No clunk
nice video, could you give away the brand of the bags, brackets ? Thanks!
100% BMW accessories... They are most likely outsourced, but I have no idea who that may be.
Thanks Erick!
How the time flies when your having fun!!!
Thanks Walter!!
Please tell me where to get that soft luggage ?
Congrats on 1300!
That Rnine T is really cool. I would love to see Can Am come out with a similar solo seat attachment for the Ryker Rally.
Way to go on the 1300 been watching since you started and always enjoy your videos.
Thanks!!
Cutest freakin couple I've ever seen ~ you two are a major inspiration. This is the first video of yours that I've seen, so glad I came across your channel.!
Cheers from Australia
Very cool bike. Thanks
Yes certainly the best BMW in ages. I opted for a 1200 Thruxton which is quite similar in performance, had I the $$ I'd have both.
why did his excitement make me want it even more
Those asymmetrical bags... That’s why I’m a fan of Kriega’s US Dry range... They look great too!
Beautiful bike! I really like the machined cylinder head covers and the machined belt cover from roland sands, perfect parts for the r9t.
Happy 1300th! Yup, been here since Numero Uno. And on the moto vlog for a few years as well. What would I change??? Not a damn thing. Here's to many more🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍
Thanks Steve!!
I haven't been here since the very beginning but you were riding around on the 72 when I first found your channel!
I just love the sound of the Rnine that exhaust note is so cool.
This or the ftr 1200?
The FTR is insanely cool, and I'd love to have one, but something like this I'd cherish like my ol' Iron 883..!
Thanks!
I’ve wanted that RNineT since it came out! Maybe this is the year I pull the trigger!
Get the 2014 version. Much better.
You guys make my day...
You both seem happy and content...a rare thing is this word.
All the best from here in the UK
Oh and i do have a 9t and lovin every ride i take it 👍
That bike was beautiful.
I wouldn't swap my GSA LC for much anything.......but that there machine is 'WICKED' my friend 👌👌👌
That's a Biker's bike!
Where is this bike located??
BMW Motorcycles of Vancouver, in Washington State... Links are always below in the description..!
Thanks!
That is a beautiful Rnine T. I'm old but I like the bags.
Love that bike, very nice.
Just found your channel, some great content 👍Must take a serious amount of time to edit and upload this amount of content. Please excuse my late arrival at the 1300th! Better late than never, best wishes from England
Hella thicc bike, how heavy is that
My 2018 R9T Racer without fail, always draws a crowd. It’s my Sunday Bike, and my Harley FXDR in my Saturday Bike.

Man I owned a couple BMWs back when I was younger and I love the sound of the one you are driving. But now that I’m a senior I want one of those Rykers..
Cool belgien🤘
Goodness I would sell my wife for one of those Rnine's! Awesome machine. Thanks Shawn.
Dude it’s only 15K HAHAHAHA
Prefer my R9Kustoms bags, more heavy duty and long lasting
Forget the bike I want the talking dog. !
Lol Leo is talking to you guys he doesn’t like it when you ignore him lol
Nice
I like the original Thing better than the remake.
