The BMW R nineT Urban GS custom known as the '6Days66' is a Swedish-built scrambler from Unique Custom Cycles that reworks BMW's modern boxer into a rugged, off-road-ready homage to the legendary R 80 G/S. With a stripped single seat, aggressive new suspension, and trail-focused stance, it is one of the cleanest takes on the R nineT Urban GS custom theme to date.
What is the BMW R nineT Urban GS '6Days66'?
The BMW R nineT is just the Air Jordan among the engines: countless versions have been made by BMW itself and countless more by custom manufacturers. The latest is the BMW R nineT Urban GS '6Days66' by Unique Custom Cycles. The build name nods to the International Six Days Trial heritage that has long defined BMW's GS bloodline, giving this R nineT custom both a backstory and a purpose.
A scrambler that honours the R 80 G/S
The vintage-looking scrambler is still popular in a time when there is an engine for every kind of rider. The custom R nineT by Unique Custom Cycles is again some eye candy for scrambler lovers, paying homage to the R 80 G/S from the '80s. The Swedish makers have done a nice job, blending classic enduro cues with the punch of the modern boxer twin to create a true BMW R nineT scrambler custom.
What modifications make this BMW R9T Urban GS custom stand out?
First, the two-seater saddle has been removed and a custom mudguard has been installed. Furthermore, you can clearly see a custom frame, new suspensions and shock absorbers for a somewhat more aggressive posture. The Swedish builder also gave the bike a Retro43 fork and STX46 rear mono which makes it even cooler and more aggressive for any situation. These changes turn the road-biased Urban GS into a machine ready for the rough stuff.
"Undoubtedly, the '6Days66' have been one of the most successful builds that we have ever accomplished", says the Unique Custom Cycles crew. We think it actually is, and they have created something undisputed that deserves all the compliments it can get.
