Bmw R Ninet Urban Gs

The Bmw R Ninet Urban Gs has a top speed of 200 km/h (estimated, manufacturer limited), produces 110 hp and weighs 222 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

La BMW R nineT Urban GS se presentó en 2017 como parte de la familia R nineT Heritage, diseñada como un homenaje moderno a la línea clásica de turismo de aventura de la BMW GS, en particular a la icónica R 80 G/S de 1980. Combina la estética retro de las Scrambler con la versatilidad urbana, con un guardabarros delantero montado en lo alto, ruedas con radios y una posición de conducción más erguida en comparación con sus hermanos. El modelo rinde homenaje a la herencia todoterreno de BMW Motorrad y, al mismo tiempo, está dirigido a los conductores urbanos que aprecian el estilo clásico con el rendimiento moderno de las bicis tipo bóxer.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

🔧

Reliable Boxer Engine

The air/oil-cooled 1170cc boxer twin is known for exceptional longevity, often exceeding 100,000 miles with proper maintenance. Service intervals are every 6,000 miles, and major engine issues are rare.

⚠️

Watch the Throttle Bodies

Some owners report throttle body synchronization issues causing rough idle or surging, particularly on higher-mileage examples. A throttle body sync service (~$150-200) usually resolves this and is worth requesting records for.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The R nineT Urban GS holds its value notably well compared to competitors, typically retaining 70-80% of its value after two years due to limited production numbers and strong brand loyalty. Well-maintained examples sell quickly on the used market.

Reseña de un comprador usado

7.8/10
Lo mejor para
Urban commuters wanting weekend character bike too

"A flawed but deeply loveable boxer that rewards the diligent buyer."

$8,500-$13,500 used

The Urban GS is BMW's attempt at neo-retro adventure styling without the serious off-road commitment, and honestly it nails the brief better than most give it credit for. That 1170cc air/oil-cooled boxer twin pulls hard from low revs, sounds magnificent at full chat, and the upright riding position makes urban filtering genuinely enjoyable. It's charming in a way modern motorcycles rarely are anymore. Find one with the optional heated grips and comfort seat — previous owners who specced those options knew what they were doing. The things that'll bite you on used examples: check the final drive splines religiously, as neglected shaft drive maintenance is an expensive lesson. Inspect the throttle bodies for uneven wear and listen for top-end ticking beyond normal boxer clatter. Early models had some fueling hiccups at low speeds that BMW addressed through software updates, so confirm those have been applied. Budget realistically for 12,000-mile service intervals — dealer labour isn't cheap. Overall this is an honest, characterful machine that rewards skilled riders without punishing beginners too harshly.
