It's time for another Cornish bike change....

Post by Cornish »

Hey guys. Well it's been a couple of days on the R nine T and I'm really liking it. Still need to do some miles to really get to know it yet first impressions are good.

The drive shaft is a different experience and the opposing twin is something to get used to as the bike moves slightly to the side when you down shift.

Ordered a couple of mods, one being a side arm number plate holder which will be fun to fit I'm sure. I'll keep you updated.

Some photos to wet your whistles....ImageImageImage

Itchy it's actually quite quick. Loads of torque just a different style of riding for me yet loving it.
