In the interests of price comparison ... i bought a "new" pre reg demo bike about a month ago for £9500. It was actually registered in the second week of August. It had a few little extras fitted, rad guard, chain guard and tank side gel stickers. Lots of dealers i spoke to were trying to off load the 2020 models asap. Still some unregistered bikes for £10,000 about.

Personally speaking, it looks fabulous. The improved spec is impressive. I think you just learn to live with any minor niggles with styling etc, when the overall package is so complete. There are no prices quoted yet in the UK, but i would have to guess a reasonable increase due to the added electronics etc. Whilst i note the adverts do say you can fit a full face helmet in the pannier, i believe the pannier may be shorter than before, though deeper. Unless i'm mistaken, the rear foot pegs look to be farther back than before, increasing the gap to the rider pegs? There has been a lot of comment about the tight dimensions for the riders feet and clashes with the pillion pegs, so they may have killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Deeper/shorter panniers to hold a helmet and give the rider more foot room? I notice there seems to be no mention of the "litres" capacity of the new panniers. The new clocks are interesting, full marks for doing something slightly different. Anything to divert your gaze away from the horrible exhaust is a good thing. I'd have to believe with the overall spec and upgraded electronics, suspension etc, then the new 9GT will be king of the class ... price depending. i'll stick with my 2020 900GT. Super competant bargain.

Great video guys, well done. Definitely a ray of sunshine in these gloomy times. Keep up the good work!
