[midnaite]

We all like I guess

[Uncle Meat]

I like it but I would not own it.

On a latest model nineT so could be a possibility?

 

[DomNineT]

That honestly looks terrible to me. Surely not an official BWM thing.

I kind of agree. Definitely not my thing, but it is in keeping with the retro theme of the R9T's design in my opinion.

One question: What did he do with the air intake? It looks like that fairing would completely cover it. Did he extend it forward, or is there an opening in the fairing we can't see that exposes the intake?

 

[midnaite]

Probably. You can see it on the second picture, I guess it's extended and there is an opening forward under the radiator

 

[rocket rick]

no like

 

[Tigcraft]

Well, I like it as it the idea works although today’s bike is more shorter and stubbier than yesteryears one and I’d shrink it all down a fraction to be in keeping

 

[Bobber101]

That fairing looks far too bulky. They remind me of those "Windjammer" fairings from Vetter that everyone had in the early 80's. As Tigcraft says. Make it smaller and it would be more in keeping.

One question: What did he do with the air intake?

I've owned multiple bikes that had the air intake buried under the seat or behind the gas tank. The intake on the Nine T isn't a Ram Air design, so it could easily get the air it needs from behind the front fairing panel.

That fairing definitely looks retro, but in a very bad way to me. The 9T gives a nod to retro but is itself a modern design - that fairing (like basically all fairings on the 9T) just looks like an afterthought and makes the bike decidedly lame. If that was an official BMW release i might have to sell my 9T as the shame would be too great .

 

[BlitzSchnell]

We’ll I’m in line with the dislikes 👎🏻 Windjammer was the key word, HONDA all over except for the boxer. Pretty? ….yeah a little. Would I buy one … he’ll no ! To me it’s no BMW except for the jugs. The rest looks 80’s Honda all the way.

 

[GapRunr]

Ironically the very "Honda" fairing you are all dissing is pretty much an OEM fairing from an R100RT.

How many years ago GapRunr? … if you like retro style it is definitely that. You could ride that to the disco and be right in step for 1980. So boxy, 👎🏻

I ordered my 2021 R9T today, if only I could order it with this seat. EDIT, I just saw the earlier posted black and white shot, sorry the flat top on the seat doesn't work in 2021, I'll order one when it's rounded off a little.

There are some fairings that look exquisite IMO on the R nine T. I'm not a fan of the Windjammer, even when I saw these things as a kid I scratched my head wondering WTH.

Aside from the beautiful fairing of the Racer model, this one pictured below on Zard's (unavailable) website looks the business.
