Despite being less than enamoured by them at launch, Ive just bought one. Eek. The bastards grew on me. I was considering an R1M as mate has one and theyre pretty awesome. But I found it hard to move away from v twins as I love v twins. Love em. This marks the end of 5yrs of saving up as Ive just spunked it all in seconds all over its chin. Guess I'd better sell my 1198 quickly as Ive had to put a chunk on my visa temporarily until it does so. Im putting the 11 back to OEM. So for the time being I own a 916, an 1198 and now a 1299S. Jeez. Im pretty skint now but fuck it. With the way the world is, live for today and screw tomorrow.
I feel like I am inhabiting that post coital phase. Just need a fag and a nap. Shame I gave up smoking fags several yrs ago. Most money, apart from mortgage, ive ever spent. Pick up could be 20th or 27th. So I shall have to contain myself for a wee while. Pics will follow as evidence of course as I know what you guys are like. It has a full Ti exhaust. Which is nice.
Congrats bootsam and a fine choice of steeds you have. As the others have said, pics when you can please...
Thanks all. Apparently I have a featured thread. Thus when I do pick twelvey up, I shall be unable to afford a model other than myself. Although I do brush up averagely well, my looks are an acquired taste. So to save money, which as of today I have none, I shall use myself as the bit of skirt, to make the pics look professional. I asked my wife, but she said 'fuck right off' which I took as a no.
The 1299S is the only bike that's drawn me since I bought the 1098R (which I just can't bring myself to sell) Guess I'll have to save up for a 1299S but I've promised the Mrs an Aga ferchrisakes. Knackers!
