Is there any bike to compete with ?

I don't think a Thruxton or a Breva are worthy competitors for the NineT.

To find a bike that goes in the same direction, i think we should look to the Ducati sport classic or the Guzzi Griso.

Do you see some more possibilities ?

Moto Guzzi Griso is cheaper but no ABS

Moto Guzzi Griso 8V SE


Griso 8V SE has impeccable style; this machine is an instinctive creation, pure, solid and distinctive and in many ways a work of art. The design details are discreet but elegant and pure quality; the lines blend together and are accentuated by the chrome finishing and satin metal. The fuel tank lends itself superbly to the strong frame creating an aerodynamic teardrop body which is continued through to the tail which houses three high intensity LED light units.

The Griso is decidedly masculine and powerful yet the “Quattrovalvole” engine seems to be set like a jewel in a frame that shows off its revolutionary design to the utmost effect. Returning to the performance, it becomes obvious that the sophisticated components are not mere technical details included for the sake of style but enhances performance and provides guaranteed reactivity.

AKRAPOVIC FZ-09, the half price option to a NineT

The ABS option is available in Germany so it will be coming here eventually.

What am I missing here? Uhhh, seems the exhaust system on the 9T is already an Akropovic, and sounds as good as the YouTube posted? Am I missing something?

And, not sure what the reply was about ABS option in Germany? HELP

The NineT MRSP is about $14,900, The FZ-09 $7990, that's almost half price,
add an Akropovic $818.96 from Revzilla and you get a 410 pound bike with a nice snarly sound.
Some people might like to get ABS and since it's available in Germany it's likely to be available everywhere soon.
The NineT is a great bike but it's sold out and not available again till October.
The FZ-09 is the cheaper alternative.
Huh, I've not heard of a NON-ABS model. I see you are in Canada, and thanks for showing location, you mean to tell me the 9T's delivered in Canada have NO ABS?:confused:


Oh, I understand the confusion.
I'm talking about the Yamaha FZ-09 NON-ABS model.
Sorry about that.
