My mates looking at a r nine t variant ,he rekons there good value for money 2 year old ones selling for half new price, is there a underlying reason they drop like a stone .
R nine second hand prices
- Thread starter Big Jets
- Start date
Simple over supply by BMW - great value secondhand and lots of deals on new ones.
Also lots of folks have bought them and realised they were not that great as a "main" bike - great as a second bike though
This has lead to a lot of low mileage ones coming back onto the market.
My "keeper" Scrambler had 112 miles on the clock when I bought it as a 6 month old approved used BMW bike for what was then a big discount on new back in 2017

That’s because you will need surgery after riding one.
SEX to look at, TORTURE to ride one.
Rest of the variants are great for bit of posing. As a main bike you’ve got to hard.
Not sure where this puts me as my wife rode her R9T Pure to Italy and back. Good girl she is. Barely complained. But upon return home she mumbled “Never fuckin’ again, thank fuck we are back now”. She’s a stressed driver at best of times, but even worse as a new rider on a bike she barely known and in a foreign country full of looney drivers.
Stil, well done to her and the effort she’s put in.

The Racer version is indeed a bargain , if a tad uncomfortable, and they just don’t sell but I thought the other variants were holding their value quite well?

Fair play to her Ev.... I wish I could get my wife on her own bike, but I think I would get her a gs 750 though

We did look at 6 month old GS 700 but she was very clear about the fact she did not like how it looked and the fact that when she was doing training on one. Basically bike was to big for her and she kept failing her Module 2 test. Eventually having booked her to a school that had ER6 and owner sacrificed a perfectly good seat and had it reshaped for reduced seat height. She past the test 1st time and on top of it in a very busy rush hour Uxbridge.
We spent 4 weekend on the trot last year going to different dealers and trying all sorts of bikes. The two she was comfortable with were, Triumph Bobber and her seat height reduced BMW R9T Pure.
Having done loads of reading up on reviews over the next couple of days, she did decided on BMW. It is still a bit of a stretch for her if she happen to stop on a cambered road surface.

Sounds like she really got into it and did it properly.. fair play to both of you. I would have loved to have toured Europe with my wife riding.... enjoy the good times bud. Ride safe.... both of you
Where are they half price, I have read this a couple of times now, I quite fancy a Scrambler but I cannot see one for less than 8k, that's only a third off
Surely when you go into a dealer you are not going to get shed loads knocked off, given they must be looking at 1-2k mark up
Cheers

So the search begins... after not riding my Thruxton R for nearly 12 months.. it’s got 2 go ... stunning looking but my back doesn’t like the riding position 
Fancy a Scrambler .... I think ..
£8000 seems to be the money for nearly new ones ... but they are fairly basic ... so what do they need ? Love the Ali tank but think that’s not an option on the scrambler

Ali Tank on Scrambler is definitely an option
Personally I would go for the best Scrambler X you can find (comes with cross spoke wheels and heated grips as standard) - think ASC was an extra but mine came with it.
Would also look for one without the awful knobbly tyres.
Then see how you get on but allow for fitting a Wilbers rear shock which significantly improves matters
PS - weather protection is terrible - adding hugger, fender extender and rear crud catcher off an Hexhead GS improves matters.

Looks pretty bike but not for me ... well done on getting that price on a px ... can I ask why your selling ?
I’ve spent money trying to make it my own and just don’t enjoy the ride of it even with the wilbers on.
