(4th August 2021) - hi and thanks for taking a look at my video! Now I have to give you some bad news... it turns out that my BMW R1250R has not been running properly for several months, ever since I fitted an aftermarket Leo Vince exhaust. I never realised that I had a problem until a recent track day when the bike felt slower then I thought it should and subsequently I put the OEM exhaust back on. Well all the lost power is back now which is great news, however.....
The problem is that in this video I compare the performance of the R nineT to my 1250 and concluded that the nineT had the better performing engine... well I'm sorry to say that although the R nineT does have a decent engine, my 1250 now performs better with its OEM exhaust fitted again. This may ruin the video for you... I hope not! depending on how the video does in the light of this new info, I may end up deleting it and making a new one.

Many thanks again to Tom and Mike at Lind Motorrad Welwyn Garden City for making this video possible!
So with this test ride I wanted to see how the R nineT compares to my R1250R in terms of the riding experience. If these two bikes are on your mind you may find it useful to see what I found!
