BMW R Nine T Scrambler World Launch

[Geel Kat]

Grrrr.... was reg.

Is this not, pretty much, an HP2 with a bit of a retro look?

HP 2 Is a Super Enduro with 21" front and "18  inch back. Performance motor (compared to std GS motor at the time) Frame by HPN suspension setup that differs from most other BMW's. Serious off road machine with racing pedigree. Google HP2 at Erzberg if you are still in any doubt.

Thank you.

Although I knew about the more powerful engine, I did not know about the larger wheels, nor the specialised suspension setup.  I will certainly Google, not because I doubt what you said, but because it interests me and it is clear that my understanding of the HP2 (sort of a GS with all the unnecessary bits removed) was a tad off.

Anyone know whats happening with the variants of the  oil/air cooled R9t  thats supposed to come out early next year

[Sprocketbek]

Grrrr.... was reg.

Ek het 'n baard  
Ek het stovepipe jeans  
Ek het cheque hemde  

Ek is 'n local in 'n klein dorpie en maak vuur met hout.
Ek reken dit is net die bike vir my  

Op'n ernstige noot, miskien sal dit werk vir my?
Ry die KAK uit hom uit, BMW versekering sal die smileys uitsort

When the LC's came out we were told the boxer had to be made liqiud cooled to pass euro emmission laws.
Now they bringing out the old motor? What about those laws?

If i am wrong correct me please.

Did not know that. I thought Liquid cooled to handle increased perfomance?

You are wrong...someone Will post shortly to tell you why

They can mos still make a cheap GS for us armgatte that wants a new bike with an old air cooled motor.
While they at it they can sommer fit a 21" and 18" wheels then I dont have to do it.

They can call it the GS Extra of so iets.

Jip that too but they could not make the old engine any leaner to get it through new stricter laws or that is what I heard.

Looks cool. I don't need validation from trolls, or anyone else, with regards to which bike I like and for what reason.

[hugh101]

any indication what the pricing will be?
The 9t is around 160k

Exactly, and I am sure it also surprises you time and again how BMW riders are upset over criticism of their bikes.

Who indeed, should need validation from trolls?

Perfect for stirrers and trolls who cannot afford BMW's. (Joh! some have messed this thread up with the handbag swinging but at least it was not helmet swinging like my youth.  )

Love that monkey bike!
Need one to sleep next to me
Can commute with it in the house
Probably the best looking 125, the standard ones are retailing around R30K!
