BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2023

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2023

The new BMW R nineT Urban GS is not only wonderful to look at, it also convinces all along the line. Both on the road and on loose surfaces, it is surprisingly potent, even if long rides can become an endurance test due to the uncomfortable seat. Thanks to the improved standard equipment, the surcharge no longer has to be so high, even though there are still more than enough options for personalisation with the BMW original accessories. Especially in the 40th anniversary GS paintwork, you are buying an incredibly emotional motorbike that, starting with the engine and ending with the paintwork, is a joy to ride every day!

Characterful engine

improved standard equipment for 2021

neutral handling

high stability on tarmac

surprisingly off-road capable

great looks

enormous choice of accessories.

Turbulence due to headlight fairing

uncomfortable seat

perhaps too classy for tough off-road use
