It's time for another Cornish bike change....
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.
