I've purchased this baby, as of 01/03, but cannot take delivery until my garage is freed up. I'm having some work done on the house, & currently my garage has a load of builders tools & materials in it. Popped in to the dealer yesterday just to stroke the tank, in a loving manner.........
It's a total tart of a bike, as it has no luggage carrying, & vestigial mud-guarding, but it's unlikely to get wet; my RT is a far better bet on wet, & cold, days.
I did spring for the twin-clocks, as opposed the single standard clock, & the accessory rocker box covers, reminiscent of the old R69 etc.
Hope to clear the garage Monday or Tuesday, then looking forward to warmer, drier weather.........

I like that, nice homage to the previous DNA in a non-patronising way, very tasteful I feel.
Health to enjoy:beerjug:
 
Very nice Martyn.
I was looking at it today. Much better with twin clocks.
Are they tubeless wheels?
Are you keeping the 1200r ?
 
That retro deouble pin stripe's nice.

Congrats - I've never ridden one but people who own R9Ts really seem to love them.
 
I've never ridden one either...........
But I have owned & ridden several bikes with that engine, & I love my 1200R (same engine & gear-box) so I'm taking a punt on it.........:cool:
 
Very nice - enjoy :beerjug:

Not entirely sure on the cylinder covers but would be boring if we all liked the same thing - I did eventually succumb to buying the rev counter for my Scrambler as well :D
 
Nice bike, is that colour scheme standard from BM, I could not see on the website, very nice
 
Fantastic bikes them Martin, I had the original R9T, and these newer versions are even better. Enjoy .
 
I've only ever seen these in photos and have never been that impressed.....

Until I saw one at Bahnstormers last weekend - it really is a stunning looking bike.

Good choice.
 
Whilst killing time in lock-down, I perused a Wunderlich e-mail that they very kindly sent me.
Arguably the finishing touch.................

It was delivered to me the day before "the lock down" & I managed 15 miles or so that morning, after which it's been put away; so that's about £1,000 per mile.............:beerjug:

Actually, apart from the optional "retro rocker-covers" & the twin clocks I thought I had it how I wanted it.
But I think this mudguard has now become a "must have".................
