Quite true about waterproofs. I have a small yellow block, which is a folded up plastic rain smock and I have never had to use it; that is because I am never carrying it when it rains!
Splendiferous? I would say so , and beyond ! Thanks for an excellent review mentioning the small but important things that the "whizz bang" reviewers leave out . A handsome machine in "night fighter black" this is the one I would buy . Shaft drive is the icing on the 🍰 if you're doing long distances too . I prefer to wear leathers but always carry thin waterproofs , how often do I stop to put them on ? ( It's just a shower , it'll pass - famous last words 🥴). Oh by the way , thank you for not comparing the 🐯 to Erich von Stalheim's ghastly Teutonic juggernaut . Carry on Muttering !
lovely bike. The buffeting from the van, if you get closer enough to hang on to the bumper you reduce all buffeting and get great mpg :P Burning question is; what would you call the 1200? :D
I tried the 900 and the 1200 yesterday, was not impressed with the 900,m but the 1200 was great, very different sound from the engine, from what I was used to, but the quick shifter was amazing, both up and down.
@@TAYM Something with a smaller capacity.I wonder what the V7 850 be like in town? Be a great tourer traveling on American continent, but with such a high tourqe delivery to use 80% of the tourqe makes you wonder what town riding be like.Worth a test drive.I think BMW might do a shaft drive too but large capacity.

Interest, what 900 did you try? Was the gt or rally?
@@TAYM GT pro, from 2020
@@paulbridge6063 i have never tried the 900 gt so couldn’t really comment.
@@TAYM Is there a lot of differnce? is it not the same bike, just different build in height?
@@paulbridge6063 different electronics, forks, wheel sizes and build. But apart from that they are the same, i think.
Shaft drive is tempting.
It is, I agree
