It's a nice looking bike.

But unfortunately I think unless you can pull off the look you'll look like a tt when you're riding one!

A bit like riding a BMW GS anywhere that isn't a third world country

I'll look a tt riding one, but I still want one. I'm not interested how I look!

I'm seriously thinking of buying one even though I'd never use the off road capability because it's got shaft drive, a comfortable seating position, and is fun to ride. Though if they did an equivalent without the off road pretentions I'd obviously get that instead.

A Triumph Bobber on the other hand...................

Price is £10,500 according to my local dealer.

This is what my local dealer said today too.
Also, if we were to put down a deposit now, we could expect a bike by March.

Theat's called an R1200R/R1200RS/R1200RT (depending how big/comfy/sporty you want to go).

You would think so. But the R and RS have far less legroom and the R T feels far heavier to ride, it's also a bit bulky for filtering.

Lovely looking thing.

As for the open face helmet thing, wow.

I guess the hipster types won't want one as it covers the beard?

Surely if they didn't want to cover their beards they would want an open faced lid

that's what I was implying. my WOW was at the comment about how satanic it must be to show someone with an open-faced helmet
