I'd love that Boxer - if you've not had a go on a 9rt yet - do so.

As with the handling on most triples of that era,you may have occasion to be thankful for the leverage with those bars.

A shame they've become collectors items as it's unlikely it will ever get ridden again.weeksy wrote: Mon Apr 27, 2020 1:51 pm
