They’ve made another fun model!…https://bikemeet.net/bmw-9t-why-have-vanilla-when-you-can-have-a-strawberry-sorbet/
Looking back on this in 2021 my mindset was very sports bike orientated. Seems vey obvious in hindsight. As I said in 2014 in my last reply: I completely missed the BMW GS for example.
I might have to rethink this one!
Well another fleet update. The BMW and Thundercat are hanging in there. But the Ducati S2R has gone. But it has been replaced with another Ducati: This time a 2015 Scrambler. Enjoying it so far
2021..I still have the YZF600R. I have owned or still own a Ducati S2R1000, a MV Agusta 1090 RR Brutale, a BMWR1200RS, a Yamaha FZ1S. Somehow never got around to buying a R1. One day…
I linked this review to a FB group when an owner of a XSR900 put up a picture of his. Good to have a bit of feedback from somebody has had one long term, four years in this case:
Hello mate. Read your review and I would tend to agree with the majority of it. I never felt the front end be twitchy to be honest, maybe if I took it on a track… Which I plan to so at some point. The seat is bloody uncomfortable at anything over 80 miles, but some cycling shorts work great lol. I’ve also wintered it on the S21s and it’s been ok.. B mode really helps. A mode is mental and so sensitive to throttle response… Not great and a bumpy road. Caught me out a couple of times . So yeah great for a weekend fun bike, but commutes brilliant too.
Well sad to report my little cafe racer moved on to pastures new a couple of months ago. I loved the looks, it was great fun to ride and the experience of planning and executing the conversion was brilliant. But it was just time to move on…
Cheers Josh, thanks for the feedback. I have just sold the 1090. It was an amazing bike, but I needed something more practical
Well, I liked the test ride so much I went next-door and bought a similar Black T120 with bar-ends and fly-screen for £1000 less:
All packed up for a trip to Snowdonia last JuneManaged a two-bike ride-out today: first my DR350 up to Jed's then the T120 to Chepstow and back home via Tintern, tracking the River Wye in all its' glory….
Bonnie at Chepstow CastleLooking forward to getting out in 2020 for more miles than this year….
Glad that you are still enjoying it so much. I got out on the cafe racer today too funnily enough
