Well for commuting it's less weight and at slower speeds nice to have the wind in your face. YET I know the safety concerns are real.

Yeah I'm still in two minds on that. There are retro full face ones out there yet I really enjoy my HJC carbon race lid so sticking with that I think

You've read my mind Kwacky. I was just about to do a write up at the weekend yet had to go away so here goes.... The bike is great, it rides very well, good response to inputs, loads of torque to draw on when needed, the chicken strips are nearly gone and it's comfortable over long distances (we did...

Definitely different. How well does it hustle?

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

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 ...

The ZX-10R got picked up yesterday, arrived back at Jordan's today so this disaster is over. I'm hoping to collect my BMW R nine T on Wednesday morning all things being well, so will pop up some photos when in my hands. Thanks again gents for the advice and like you say Kwacky, we shall see what my...

An update. I've accepted Jordan's offer and the bike goes back tomorrow. Done. All fairly discussed and sorted now. It wouldn't put me off buying a bike from them again. Yet I'd ensure all was 100% if buying remotely again with ANY trader. Thanks for all the advice and listening to my woes. On to mo...
