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.
It would be a nice bike if it wasn't for that ugly boxer engine go and try the new speed triple better performance and probably cheaper in the long run anyway
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!
Wow, that's really a bummer and I'm sure you're very disappointed, Tony. Hope things work out better if you decided on the 100 Years anniversary version.
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.
Congratulations on your new bike Here's to many happy miles. I retired at Easter this year with thoughts of possibly going back part time. After being out for 6 months, not as long as I have a hole in my ar5e!
@learningtofly Congratulations on the new bike, Tony! I'm super happy for you. You most certainly deserve it and I hope you enjoy every second with that bike and all the joy and experiences it brings to you.
Congratulations on the new bike. Retirement is grand. I will be 70 next month and have been retired for 7 years. It is a blast everyday!
