Still not gona actually buy one.
It's amazing what a colour scheme can do to a bike.
I like the retro one but that one is awful.

It's not my cup of tea, but you'll look the part on it if you wear rolled up jeans and a red bandana around your neck.

Why did no-one ever tell me that Bimmers were cool? :hmmm:
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

I've had several, surely you must have realised they were based on that? :hmmm:

I like the R9T, quite like the Pure base version as its fairly non bling

I think it's trying to look like this

But is a bit over styled, with simpler less fussy styling I'd really like it, doubt if I'd part with my money though.

I really wanted an R80GS back in 1983, I fancied touring down to the south of France in some sort of cool Euro trail riding style picking up random French girls on the way.

Looks OK, I don't see me being the target buyer though, I'm more of a mebbe get one in ten years when its cheaper and they've ironed out most of the problems type.
Yeah the gold wheels are a bit 1990 motocrosser and the red seats kind of red but thats easy re-covered. Four hundred or so quid would change it from their ugly version to my own personal ugly version.

I quite like craft beer, will never have a beard as long as Ive only got one chin and think fixie geared steel framed pushbikes with no brakes are for velodromes in days gone by and fucking shite for actually using on the roads.

Guess that makes me an unhipster. Or mebbe just a cantankerous knacker.

I like it a bit, but would prefer an original R80GS, would complement the Le Mans nicely.
