BMW R Nine T Urban G/S

Being a part of the R Nine T lineup of BMW that is known for the retro styling, the Urban G/S is definitely the most retro-styled motorcycle in the lineup. The bike gets a design that blends elegance and ruggedness.  The classic and rugged appearance is enhanced by a number of design elements that include the mudguard, high-mounted front fender, single headlamp, and a flat, long seat that is somewhere in between the classic scrambler and cafe-racer design. 

Small details added by BMW like the black colour finishing on the majority of the frame with the red seat adds to the charm and appeal. The bike definitely looks classic and retro and definitely exudes the off-roader feelings all throughout its design.

The BMW R Nine T Urban G/S is not just popular for its classic look and retro feel and rugged appearance. The bike is also known for having excellent capabilities on all kinds of roads offering an exceptional riding experience with commendable comfort. The beefy dual sports tires offer superb stability and control on rough terrains and enable better capabilities for the bike, to begin with. The suspension system is efficient and is built to take on the tough roads while also offering adequate comfort on normal road conditions, as the city roads and highways. 

The spaciousness of the cockpit is noticeable and the high handlebars along with more forward-positioned footpegs make for a very comfortable riding posture that makes it easy to handle the bike while also letting you get better control during the turns and at the corners. The flat and long seat makes for a more comfortable and expansive riding position as well. 

The BMW R Nine T Urban G/S is powered by a flat-twin, liquid-cooled, boxer engine that makes 110 hp of power at 7550 rpm and 116 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm. The engine is capable, powerful, and has the capability to deliver that thrust you need when riding on rougher patches and the acceleration and power delivery for the city roads and the highway cruises. Paired to an efficient 6-speed transmission system, the top speed of the bike is rated to be over 200 kmph. The bike gets a 17 litres fuel tank with a 3-litres reserve capacity and BMW claims the fuel consumption capability of the bike to be approximately 5.9 L/100 km. 

The perfect coarseness with the distinctive crackle and pops from the twin-cylinder boxer engine adds to the old-school feel of the motorcycle. 

The retro spirit and design theme of the bike in no way indicates that the bike does not get the most modern and advanced braking and safety features. The front pair of four-cylinder Brembos does not only look good on the R Nine T Urban G/S but also gives the bike commendable braking capabilities. 

With dual discs on the front wheels and a single disc on the rear, you can expect excellent and yet very linear braking. Other features include traction control and pass lights amongst others.  

The BMW R Nine T Urban G/S is a very practical and realistic retro-styled off-roader and street bike. The enduro motorcycle is good to hit the off-road tracks as well as perfect for city rides and highway cruises. If you need a bike that is made to do it all and gets that classic theme and feel, this one is a great choice for you.
