Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R nineT 2016

With the RnineT, BMW has created a monument to itself and the boxer that has made it into many garages around the world. The R nineT is a best-seller thanks to its successful overall concept and has served numerous customisers as the basis for a wide range of conversions. Compared to a Thruxton, however, the BMW does not appear authentic in all details, and on the poor road surfaces in the Alps, the suspension may be tuned too hard or the exhaust may be too loud in the long run.

solid technology

strong brakes

unique look

rich sound

fat torque

Hard tuning for bad roads

exhaust a bit loud in the long run

not 100% authentic
