Time for a change

HÄNGETITTEN . . . some German words require no translation!

I thought Germans called them Gummicows or some such? Or is that just the old airheads?

 

I like RnineTs, still air-cooled which I like and that motor is a stonker (had a 1200GS with the same engine). I test rode a RnineT with a view to having it as my everyday/distance bike, but the seat had other ideas. They're lighter than V11s by about 35lbs (according to US MCN who I trust) so quite a difference.

 

I really like the Racer, but that riding position! Hence why they only sold them for a year or two I guess?

I also liked the R nine T racer and thought it was the only one of them I'd even consider, but I hear the riding possie is a killer and I have a dodgy neck!

Hypothetical as not about to be replacing the V11 anyways...

Yes, "Gummikuh". Refers to things like the R80 and R90. Softish suspension, but still surprisingly fast.

Looking forward to your riding impressions/ V11 comparisons, @Steve S. . .
