Great video! You really show the bike in its element. Just riding around and having fun. I haven't owned a bike since moving to NYC 7 years ago and have been going back and forth about which make and model. But when going around town, I ALWAYS stop and take a pic of the R9T. There is just something special about it. And NY'ers really make them special with their mods. I saw a simple version with the brushed aluminum tank and it was beautiful....
its quite a special bike in my opinion. it brings back feelings of nostalgia for me. its a lovely bike to ride around town, or down the coast - its pretty nimble - responds well and just looks stunning. The 100 years version is one of the nicest ive seen.
So cool man! You nailed it. But i can confidently add that it’s also a great touring bike if you don’t mind the wind. It was out of my budget hut when my ftr Indian got written off, i found a cheaper r9t demo and it rides exactly like the ftr, but more refined, better built and a bigger tank especially! A dream to ride! So cool to see manhattan again!
Exquisite! Beautiful bike Anthony. Visceral is spot on. Legendary BMW, known for it’s eye for the smaller details with that Option 719 and it’s character unique Boxer motor the GS you have changes your life. Just a sweet motorcycle.
my only gripes,.. the floppy clocks and the confusingly loose gear lever in first. love how the Porsche driver flips you off after you give him a friendly wave.
Great vid, enjoyed that. Have a 2018 r nine t Sport version myself, but gotta say that this 719 with that paint job and the tubeless spokes looks stunning.
I have the same bike with the seamed weld,.. I upgraded with full Ti Akra headers and an Ohlins rear, bar-end mirrors, a sargent seat and a few other extra goodies.
Welcome back man! Your F900XR first ride video convinced me to take one for a test ride...then I ended up buying it. Luckily I already have an R nineT. Good job on the reviews.
Great review. I wrote off my GS and I’m trying to determine whether I need another or change gears to one of these. Your review gave me a good idea of the way these operate. Btw good call on the GT2!
Yeah, quieter and the shake is no longer that pronounced, but still absolutely present. The backfiring sound (which isn't really is) is still there. In dynamic mode it does it every time you get off the gas. That said, the dynamic mode is an extra option that comes with the dynamic traction control.
That is more related to your skill level, not the bike. It isn't a hard bike to ride, but it is alot of bike for someone with little experience. Start smaller and work your way up!

those spoked wheel is the way to go - they are tubeless while the older models spoked wheel comes with tube,

You gave an excellent review as well as a look at historic city. This will still be in one of my picks for a future bike.
Much appreciated!
Excellent review. I concur with the “Is it worth it?” statement. Nobody can answer this question but yourself.
Great vid, enjoyed that.

Thanks man I appreciate it!
Smart review. Very thoughtful. It's a great bike, with 2023 the last of this design. "Hey, pigeon!"

Euro5 9Ts sound quieter with no backfires, and it shakes less when reving it. All other new feature are welcome.

Nice review. I think you nailed it... if you know a vehicle's purpose then it'll make it easier to appreciate and fairly judge it. This was helpful
Thanks for watching!
Great review and honest ride along. Great video!
Thank you Kristofor!
I thought the roads were bad where I lived ! It’s a cool bike. I like it have a soft spot for it. Would be ideal for a second bike.
That bike is simple and also an exquisite motorcycle 😂✌️
Nice video!🙏🏼
Couldn't agree more!
Nice bike but for my money I’ve got to go with the R1250R for all around riding and touring w/panniers
Whatever works best for your needs!
I crushed that like button.
Thanks brother!
You make a Tx girl want to visit NY! Nice vid !
Come on up!
How's the pillion comfort?
Thanks for the video, but I think as great as the bike is for city work, it's wasted if that's all you do on it. It's so much more than that!
is it good for beginner
That is more related to your skill level, not the bike. It isn't a hard bike to ride, but it is alot of bike for someone with little experience. Start smaller and work your way up!
It’s a perfect bike for a beginner. Very forgiving but respect the engine. I started on one and still love it to this day!
Does it have quick shift up and down
Neither
Those wheels are tubeless I believe
I was able to confirm that they are, they even have 90° angled valve stems 👍
💖💜❤️
I just picked up the exact 719 Model here in NJ...But God forbid, I'll ever take this Bike into That Shithole City
