It took quite a while before I bumped into an R nine T in the flesh. It was a 2014 model and it was just stunning. Gorgeous. I had not long seen a Speed Twin which is also a lovely looking bike, but the nine T has it.
However, the nine T just isn’t a very practicable day to day bike. Plus the r1250 has 20 more ponies and a whopping extra 30lbs torque.
Need to get out and try one. Could it be the practicable, with decent range, shaft drive, civilised gentleman’s nutter bike to the constant lets have a square go alcoholic riot of a bike that is the MT10.
