So, I test rode the R nine yesterday, so here's my view on how it rides in a nutshell.
This was my expression while riding it:
and THIS was my expression after being told I now have to return the keys:
Torque, suspension and nimbleness were super apparent and up close, it's a thing of pure aesthetics. It really does scream to be riding hard and out of BMW's 2014 line-up, it was easily the most sought after bike to be tested.

Great to hear that they didn't half ass it knowing that cafe's are hot right now. Each time I spot one it has a huge, "SOLD, don't touch" sign on it

Nah summ3rhays, they didn't half step at all and just jump on the cafe bandwagon, blindly build and produce so to speak. From what I've been told by one of the reps, they aren't even changing a thing on their 2015's, as they really have no reason to. Just wish the price tag was more affordable. :-\

So nice, so clean and so ready hit the streets. What a great bike!

Very nicely done. Why is he selling if you don't mind me asking Danny?
-
Anyone ever had a stator or rectifier fail?

My battery is good, bike runs on push start. How do I tell which is the problem? Do I need to invest in a voltmeter?

I visited a friend in Bury St Edmunds yesterday, and he took me down to Krazy Horse for lunch.
I'd seen some of their bikes at the Bikeshed show back in May, and wanted to take a closer look at the Paton S1. I really like this one, and would like to get a test ride. They seem pretty obliging too. Maybe next time…
As well as trading in weird and wonderful low production run machines, they also build their own choppers. This one has a ridiculous set of handlebars on it.
The tank on a Zero Engineering custom.
All I know about this bike is that it's called The Tattoo, and it's built around a Harley V-Twin. I think that it's another Zero.
Mental S&S racer. The seating position was extreme, and the exhaust was loud.
There were some modern Indians there, but this 1939 Kiwi Indian will probably go down better.
And, lastly, a Morgan Three Wheeler in Gulf Racing livery.

Zaeta at Krazy Horse. These are built by Valentino Rossi's father. The orange frame is fantastic.
