Pros Cons of BMW R nineT Scrambler

Pros

  • Modern-classic appeal
  • Comfortable riding position
  • Tech laden

Cons

  • Expensive proposition
  • Limited service reach
  • Unpleasant exhaust note

Verdict

The BMW R Nine T Scrambler is BMW's version of a neo-retro scrambler. It has a lovely retro charm and is offered in two variants - R NineT and R NineT Scrambler. The scrambler is the more affordable model. The R NineT uses the air-cooled, 1170 cc boxer twin engine. The engine makes 109 bhp and peak torque of 116 Nm. And while it is a classic model, it still gets all the required modern features. With prices upwards of Rs. 16 lakh, the motorcycle is an expensive proposition.

Pros Cons Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight

Pros

  • Classic H-D cruiser styling
  • V-twin engine sound

Cons

  • Small fuel tank limits range
  • Gearbox not very refined
  • Performance & acceleration

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Special is definitely not your affordable cruiser. After all, there's a price to be paid to look uber cool and enhance your riding personality. If you're the kind of guy who wants to make a statement with your ride, and nothing short of an all-American v-twin cruiser will do, by all means take a good look at the Forty-Eight, you may end up bringing it home. Just keep in mind that it may start losing its appeal soon.
