My new daily rider

Good Evening gents, 

Hope you are all well?

With the resent happenings of my 325ti and the fact that I was shooting up the mileage on my 330i, I thought it was time to add another daily to the garage. 

Long story short, I have been in the market for a R Nine T for quite some time and on a particular Sunday evening I received an email about the BMW R Nine T campaign that's on a prime -2% special. I had a quick look and 30-minutes later my order was placed.....  :tiptoe:


I introduce you guys to my first ever BRAND NEW purchase!!

2020 BMW R Nine T Racer -

These specific models do not come with a lot of options to select from. Mine has heated grips and that's it. 

I have managed to cover about 300km's in the past week and I literally try and think of any excuse to go for a quick ride on the bike. I still need to do the run-in mileage, so for now it's just cruising. But once the first 1000km has passed, I can't wait to open up the throat of that lovely 1200CC boxer engine. 

I get a lot of questions as to why I chose this specific bike. For the price, there's a lot of other options on the market. It's actually quite simple..... I like something out of the ordinary - and how many of these have you seen on the public road?  :chef:


And then some extra pics for clicks.

I have a wonderful photoshoot lined up for later this month :)

Took a ride with a good friend of mine to Insane Racing on Saturday evening. Snapped some pics of the two bikes together.

The MT-09 is also a stunning motorcycle.

I've never been a "bike" person... but this looks flippin nice. Got that old skool retro vibe going on that makes it stand out from the crowd.

Congrats man.

Many safe miles ahead

Lol - thanks for the post bud.

Definitely had quite a bit of fun with these guys and we have some future plans in the works.

Please excuse the short pants. Was actually just heading to the garage to fill up when they passed me and I couldn't refuse the offer of joining them.....

It's probably time that I update this post.

2400 odd km's later and I'm enjoying this bike every second that I'm on it.

2nd week of ownership, a decision was made to correct the paint and seal it up for some time to come. The following was done.

*wash
*decontamination
*2-stage polish
*ceramic coat.

A close friend of mine has an up-and-coming detailing shop and he offered to help me with the bike. I'll let the pics below do the talking....

A month or so ago we decided to attend Zwartkops for the Monthly track day....

The R Nine T Racer is definitely at home on track and I enjoyed every second of it. Started in class-D to get to grips with things and then moved to C.
