It takes a case of rare necessity to get me inside a BMW dealership, but that's where I was this morning, and how I came to be examining a new R9T.
Two things in particular attracted me to it. One, it's diminutive size made the Asian built 300 standing next to it look like a huge juggernaut! That, and the fact that it has a real throttle operated by a real cable. Both big plusses IMO. Oh yeah, three things, no control panel just a single instrument. Magic! Could this be the future?
Almost tempted I was, but as I pointed out to the opportunistic sales person, while showing him the ignition lead that I'd just collected, "I've just spent a shit load more than I can afford already!"
