The styling also seems more “period correct” with the gaitered standard forks and high bars. The ergonomics are significantly more upright, and comfortable. Having tested the standard R nineT model fairly recently, I found that I preferred the less expensive Scrambler model for a number of reasons. You also get the trademark BMW badge on the tank … which actually means something to more customers than you might think. For your money, you get a BMW with that legendary air-cooled boxer engine, which is the heart and soul of even more expensive models recently offered by the German marque (before converting them to water-cooling). MSRP of $13,000 still puts it at the top end of the scrambler category, however. Leaving aside more expensive parts found on the standard R nineT (such as the sportbike-grade, radial mount Brembos and the upside-down fork), BMW has priced the Scrambler $2,100 cheaper. You either like the look or you don’t (we do), but coupled with surprisingly aggressive dual sport rubber (Metzlers, including a 19″ front), the bike presents a tough, purposeful look. The Scrambler also receives unique wheels, fuel tank and high-mount exhaust system. Steering geometry is substantially relaxed in comparison to the standard R nineT, leading to superb straight-line stability coupled with lazier steering through corners. The brakes are a lower spec Brembo design (still squeezing sizeable 320 mm discs in front), and the suspension features a traditional, non-adjustable front fork (4.9 inches of travel) and a Sachs shock adjustable for preload only (5.5 inches of travel). The R nineT Scrambler does feature a number of changes from the standard model, not all of which are cosmetic.

The transmission is likewise unchanged from the standard R nineT and behaves predictably with a spread of gearing more than adequate for the big, torquey lump beneath the rider. Amongst “scramblers” this bike is very fast, indeed, with BMW claiming 110 horsepower and 86 foot/pounds of torque. The Scrambler has the same healthy, broad power spread and character derived from the decades of continuing improvement of the boxer twin lay-out by BMW. Shared with the standard R nineT is the excellent, refined 1,170cc air-cooled boxer twin, six-speed transmission and frame. In many respects, you can get a good idea about the Scrambler by reading our original review of the standard R nineT. One family member is the subject of this test, the R nineT Scrambler. With the original R nineT, BMW launched a family of motorcycles that is still growing.
