So when push comes to shove how many of you will actually make use of the rear seat? Or will you scrap it and have nothing at the back to even bother with. Another solution is to get the seat cowl to have a continueous flow with the hump.

Single seat

Ready for mount

Keeping it old school

Which one will you go with?

I love how it looks with the hard seat cowl. I rarely need the rear seat for a passenger so for someone like me it will work.

I much prefer NineT with the Cowl, although i don't like it in Silver... would likely repaint to match body and definitely clean up the rear with a Tidy Tail...

P.S is NineT only available in black?

 

[M&M]

Yes only in black.

But since it is aluminium, it should be grate natural and polished.

About the seat option, for the moment I prefer the duo seat.

 

[Ro.nin]

I guess I'm a little biased, having had a Thruxton with a seat cowl for two years...
I prefer the dual seat, for a more simple, roadster look.

However, I do think the bike looks elegant with and without. Not a huge fan of the chopped single seat.

I might get the custom seats and the cowl

That would be like having 2 bikes

I definitely like it with the rear seat - I only use every 2 or 3 years - but worth it for those rare times

The hard seat cowl is not waterproof and unlock-able so it may suddenly disappear.

 

[penner]

+1 on the actual cowl.

Without he rear seat it looks stubby. With the rear seat it looks out of place

that cowl though. perfect

 

[Cafe-Davy]

As much as I want to go with the cowl it only makes sense to have the duo seats in case my wife wants to come along for the wife.

If I had a choice the cowl definitely for the looks but for functionality the duo seat will do for me

It's better to have it then not to. And if your single, you really have to keep your doors open right? As for me the wife would call me inconsiderate.

Also, if your wife dumps you for buying another motorcycle, you will have room for the new girlfriend.

exactly, there's plenty of fish in the sea, while you might lose your current one by buying the R NineT, you'll get many more with the NineT......chicks dig a guy that rides a cool bike, of course that would be us.

[Max]

hmmm girlfriend with her own motorcycle, I like the sound of that. Maybe I'll get the single seat and dump the wife...

I'm in this great situation. My girlfriend also rides bike and has bought a new V-Strom 2 month ago..

You can always get a side car to go along with the ninet if your that kind of guy but i am no baggage handler so she can take care of herself.

side car with the NineT would look sweet, just got to make sure it has a similar design and color scheme and you'll score some cool points

 

[thompcat]

Are we missing the point a bit here? Couple of bolts and you have a passenger pillion for that occasional two-up, couple bolts again and its back to cowl time...and I'm not sure, but from the photos I've been looking at, it looks like the cowl could just fit right over the pillion seat.

 

[Bose]

Both

It looks very custom and cool without the rear seat,but you also need the seat if your going to load it up with any kind of bag ,so buy both options as pillion seat comes as standard and then buy the kit from BMW to make it a single seater it's only 8 bolts to remove the pillion section ,ride it custom until you need to travel
