So to summarise BMW if you are still alive and the Thruxton if your nearly dead. I like it luckily I prefer the R nine T so hopefully that means I'm still in the alive camp, however like you I'm not sure I'd want to own one, a little too extreme in the café position. Nice review probably a bit unfair in the bhp difference, maybe the Triumph 1200 would of been a bit more of a fair comparison.

Yes, hence what I put in the description

Interesting comparison, although a Racer up against a 1200 Thruxton would have been fairer. As a Racer owner for six years I’ll say you have to get used to the riding position and build up your resilience, obviously I enjoy everything about the bike otherwise I wouldn’t have kept it. People also complain about the suspension, I see the bike you rode has an aftermarket Nitron unit. Personally I haven’t bothered, I don’t think I’m a fast enough rider to notice the difference. The Racer is a lot of fun every ride and I’m not in a hurry to change 🇬🇧

Hello Mark nice video, so sorry for your cameras but you've done a good job! Very interesting viewing older motorcycles crossed with your experience and point of view!

Rather like that r9t to be fair. Always been intrigued by them. Sounds rather like a vtwin to me, which is not a bad thing and as you say lots of engine braking. Never used to have to use brakes on mine unless stopping in a hurry. Looks rather pretty too. As for the triumph, maybe in 50 years if I’m still riding 😂
