BMW r nine t
I was in London as usual today, as I was walking to Bond st tube station, this came round the corner, I’ve only ever seen pictures of these but I was very pleasantly surprised to see how good it looked in the flesh. Certainly not buying anything new yet but maybe something to consider at some point. Not everyone’s taste I would imagine ?

I think they look great.
BUT.....without the afterthought nosecone, which looks a bit contrived to me.
And in black.

Re: BMW r nine t
Nice model the 9T, can customise to the limit with all the stuff you can get for them, BMW and aftermarket.
Not for me though. However after I had rode all the models, I would mainly take this one home as it was easy to turn around on the drive and store in the cave. Home to work and back again was long enough in the saddle for me on that machine

Re: BMW r nine t
When I was at JHP last week, even they are having to change their ethos a bit as the sportsbike market is very limited these days.

Re: BMW r nine t
Chances are, Ross, that if you're considering one of these bikes, then a full-on sportbike isn't even a blip on the radar.Rossgo wrote:Defo not for me - killing off the sports bike market......

Speaking of radars....did you know that "RADAR" is just an acronym for "RAdio Detection And Ranging"???

Re: BMW r nine t
Thats my problem, my view point is, when i give up sports bikes, that's my admittance to being old.kiwikrasher wrote:You’re not young forever Rossgo, there will come a time when you go ... yeah I’m past pure sports bikes.Rossgo wrote:Defo not for me - killing off the sports bike market......

Re: BMW r nine t
In my case it’s not too old, it’s too broken. I had a two level cervical fusion earlier in the year and I can’t get my head back without causing increased loss of feeling in my hands. So the more upright I sit the better. I don’t feel I’m missing out on that much riding the Multi and I keep up with sports bikes on it no problem.Hondaboy63 wrote:Thats my problem, my view point is, when i give up sports bikes, that's my admittance to being old.kiwikrasher wrote:You’re not young forever Rossgo, there will come a time when you go ... yeah I’m past pure sports bikes.Rossgo wrote:Defo not for me - killing off the sports bike market......
