This is what I currently lust after.
You'd be dead!
Indeed. That is why I got rid of the Gixer 1000.
@Phantom . Would highly recommend doing a Bikesafe course.

Try your local or neighbouring Constabulary to see if they run one. You'll probably be surprised at how it improves your observation skills and teaches you correct positioning on the road, now that your a quarter of the width of a T6. Helps with hazard perception and rider skills to keep you alive out there.
Remember, now that your a biker, every motorist now wants to kill you!

Nice. I have a RnineT Sport at the moment and it's a fun easy bike to ride. But the engine isn't great and the bike is a little too small for me. I work for BMW and get a company car and bike to I only have them 5 months before it's returned to a dealer to sell. I've ordered a 1200GS Advanture TE for collection in January. The 1250GS isn't available to us yet.
Thank you Littleblack flash, I'm 6ft but not ridden in yet! Did my CBT Sat morning by lunchtime then been on this (pic below) pretty much all weekend! Done some miles and quite scary not going lie! But going well and out again this afternoon! Theory booked tomorrow so getting on with it! Hopefully Mod 1 this week but need to get theory before I can book!
Not pulled the trigger yet on Rnine T (Dorchester) BMW) but was going to today as weekend went well, 67 plate 1k ex demo 11,999. Will obviously try and beat them up alittle!
Should I be considering a 1200GS instead? (need to google). Know nothing about bikes and no exact hurry just want one
RnineT is a great first bike.
It's easy to ride and doesn't stall easily at junctions, which is where most bikes are dropped. The low down weight make it easy to ride in town and yet still powerful enough on the open road.
It doesn't have a balance shaft in the engine, so when you blip the throttle the bike wobbles side to side. A bit like a V8 in an american car. There isn't a screen so motorway riding isn't fun.
All round its a really nice first bike.
Don't go for the 1200GS like me. They are 250kg many find them to big to move about. Once on the road, they are an amazing bike which I'm planning to take all round the alps in the new year. I couldn't do a trip like that on a RnineT

Very nice. I took mine for a long ride but it rained. I’ll have to spend hours cleaning it before I put it in the lounge for the winter.
I have this to ride until January when my new 1200gs arrives.

VFR750 and 954 Blade. Two of the best bikes ever.
Came off my last bike quite heavily back in 2007.
Was at Cadwell on an ACU day getting ready for the Manx. Unfortunately never did make it to the island.
Not quite a motorbike, but has a motorbike engine!
Been racing these about 5 years.

My mate has one of those beemers, he absolutely loves it. Says its the best bike he's owned.
I would like to have a go, but racing them is crazy. I was on the marshall post at Combe when one crashed. The driver still isn't in a good way 2 years on.
