Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

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....

That really is completely different from the zx10r

Let's hope you get to spend more time with this one.

Nice machine, I took our demo home a fair bit (when I was there) nice bike enjoy. handles well, loads of bling available. Not sure I could ride one for the longer trips though.

Nice one have fun

Thats pretty that

Definitely different. How well does it hustle?

Thta is one lovely looking bike. Enjoy it, cornish.

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

Thanks the limited time I've had it though people all stop and stare at it and say how nice it looks when parked up

They stare at your beard?

Isn't beard gay slang for a gay man's wife?

Jesus what have you started you lot.

Very very nice I have always liked these.

Some very tasty bling on there too. Enjoy it.

To be fair, he's no more Gay on this than on the zx10, mt09, fireblade, 1098, 848, rc8, s1000rr, 675 etc.......

Now that is a very nice list of tasty motorcycles
