Giggerl - Futuristic BMW R NineT Build By Blechmann
Ride quality & brakes
The R nine T was followed by the Pure, the Racer, and the retro-trail Urban G/S, but the original top-of-the-line model still boasts the best chassis quality.
Forks were fixed on early cycles, but recent versions offer preload, rebound, and compression adjustability for a perfect blend of comfort and control and lots of sensation provided by the Sachs lamppost-scale 45mm upside-down forks and well-damped rear shock.

The R nineT tends to drag itself down into corners and feels terrific over on its side, encouraging you to carry gobs of old-school corner speed, despite the fact that its low-slung chassis doesn't have the fastest steering. Plenty of height above the ground, too.
Some owners have complained that the front forks are too gently sprung and the rear is too harsh on their bikes, so if you're looking at a used bike, you may want to see whether it's been modified from the factory settings.
The front end may be improved by revolving or replacing the internals of the stock, non-adjustable forks, while the rear end is often improved by replacing the stock shock with a more capable one; hlins and Wilbers shocks are popular, but there are choices to suit a variety of budgets. Brakes with anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are already so effective that hardly one bothers to attempt to enhance them.
The rider's feet are placed in a very athletic posture, lending to an aggressive stance while also allowing for enough control and comfort. One of the few consistent complaints among R nine T owners is how thin the seat is. The majority of riders choose to change their seats, either with BMW's official Custom accessory version or with an aftermarket component, the Sargent seat being the most popular recommendation (although it will set you back over.
