New Bike Conundrum

It's the original 9T (based on the Classic), not the 12. The absolutely superb upgrades include

Akrapovič R9T Series Slip-on Exhaust
Unit Garage De-Cat Headers
Rapid Bike EVO Fuelling Control Module
Pier City Custom Air Box Removal Kit
Öhlins STX46 Blackline Shock Absorber
Gilles Tooling Adjustable Rear Sets
Unit Garage Handlebar Risers
Pier City Custom Rear Undertray and Tail Tidy
Kellermann Atto 3-in-1 LED Indicators
Mototech Cylinder Head Protectors
Evotech Oil Cooler

It really is a beauty.

 

As long as it’s not in red. Oh, wait…

 

Well, as luck would have it, I received an email from On Yer Bike literally as I was drafting an email to send to them to ask them if I could put a holding deposit down. Unfortunately, the bike had just sold.

Not sure what I’m going to do now, but I’m edging towards the 100 Years anniversary version instead.

Have to admit, I’m gutted!

 

Thanks Paul. You mention my troubles, and I think part of the reason I want a second bike is that I really want to live what’s left of my life having come so close to losing it. I’m also going to retire next summer and want to make sure I enjoy my days to the full (and having a choice of bikes will be much more fun ).

Anyway, I am indeed looking at the R12 NineT, but of the three options I’m considering the 100 Years seems to be drawing me in the most (albeit that both the R12 alternatives are technically better bikes). It’s a real conundrum though, to be honest.

 

I'm homing in on this one, despite the slight advantages of the R12 models. It's a 2023 bike so fairly up to date anyway.

I just love the 100 Years LE... can't help it. Will speak to the sales guy again on Monday and try to seal the deal, although we're not that far away.



@RevPaul - sadly it won't enhance SWMBO's life as she doesnt want me riding, period. However, it's no more dangerous having two bikes as opposed to one, so no change there.

 

Well, deal done with delivery looking like Monday week! Very excited indeed

 

Thank you! Enjoy your retirement

 

Thanks Mrs V!

 

Thank you so much, Sandi. You know that means a lot to me.
