What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Final Drive
The shaft drive on early models (2014-2016) can develop clunking or notchy behavior due to wear in the driveshaft splines. Inspect and grease the splines at regular intervals to avoid costly repairs.
Strong Resale Value
The R nineT holds its value exceptionally well compared to most naked bikes, often retaining 70-80% of its value after three years. Its timeless neo-retro styling and BMW badge keep demand consistently high.
Air-Cooled Engine Longevity
The 1170cc boxer twin is famously durable and can comfortably exceed 100,000 miles with proper oil change intervals. However, watch for oil leaks around the valve cover gaskets, a known minor issue on higher-mileage bikes.
