I had looked at the R9T series bikes when considering the CB11RS as a potential purchase. However whilst I think BM got the styling exercise on these spot on if a little too hipsterish. I couldnt face the issues that comes with BMW build quirks (quality or lack of) and the historical designed in issues the engine gearbox/clutch/driveline have that never seems to be far from potential wallet emptying incidents. I'm speaking as an ex aircooled 1150 BMW owner so maybe that biases my opinion a tad. Though it is reinforced (unprompted) by my local independent M/C tech who hates having to fix BM's with a vengeance 2nd only to his dislike of KTMs 690 grenades.
