BMW R NineT Racer S - Test Ride

[beardyweirdy@me.com_imp]

Have you tried a Thruxton R?

I did, about a year ago. Lots of fun but a bit small for me. Handles great. The bike I tried was set up quite firm, but all adjustable I think. It had a great engine, But... I preferred the 900 street twin I tested at the same time. Still too small, but on the little backroads I tested it on, it was great. Pulled really well and reminded me of an old brit Parallel Twin with a 360 firing order. Felt great.

My mate, who went with me to test the bikes, has just got round to buying a T120. Suits him fine, and he loves it, although he is a Hobbit....
