I’ve had my Full Throttle for about 18 months and I’ve mostly loved it. Unfortunately, I was finding the low power output more and more intrusive in my riding pleasure. So I was very exited when I heard Ducati were bringing out an 1100 version, I even liked the look of the Sport model. That excitement sooon waned when I read the specs and discovered there wasn’t a lot of extra power. So I contacted my local BMW dealer and arranged a test ride on the 12 r and the r nine t. Loved both bikes. The 12 r has a bit more power but the r nine t looks superb in the flesh, so to speak, and it sounds great with the Acrapovic cans. I am now the proud owner of a 2015 model with only 1500 miles on the clock and it came with a full BMW warranty. I know I’ve got the right bike because all I’ve done to it since buying it 3 weeks ago is remove the rear subframe and I bought a tail tidy with L E D lights and a Sargent seat (best seat I’ve ever ridden on), that’s all I want to do to it. The BMs not as agile as the Scrambler but it makes up for that in so many other ways, and as I’m getting used to it I find I can ride it just as aggressively. I love it. I’m very grateful to everyone on this site for all the information and advice. Thanks.
