Came out with parts and booked in for a test ride in April. Its a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy. They deliberately offer you a coffee while you wait , and park shiny new bikes all over the shop right next to you.

I guess the question is, will it really be £10k+ better than a niner? My guess, probably not.

Its a very nice looking bike with all the bits probably north of £15K, the young lady in there has one or two very obvious advantages over her fellow salesmen.
Legs? - I've found that ladies legs leave something to be desired .........

I test rode one a couple of years back. Nice bike but the price scared the crap out of me and the tracer with boxes was almost £5000 cheaper.
Still got a 9er as you know.
