After selling the 1299 back in November I decided I still wanted a road bike and really fancied a K5/6 thou. Now a K9 was never on the agenda, I had even considered the K7/8 but because of all the greedy barstewards out there it made sense to buy the K9 which was cheaper than 99% of the K5/6?s that were for sale.
Astronomical prices, beggars belief!
Anyway, got this tidy enough K9 at much cheapness and it?s a decent bike, I?ve had to use it a few time?s for work whilst the van was in getting some work done and even though it?s not been used in anger it?s a relatively good bike. No plans other than maybe a QS and a taller screen, that?s really it. The end can is perfect, not overly loud at idle but tasty when you open her up.
My only gripe thus far is the mode button for scrolling through the trip 1,2, time, lap timer etc, why they didn?t put that on the left handlebar and had the power mode selector on the right is beyond me.
We plan on doing some Euro trips with more weekends away up North, if this Corona does one.
