I am considering buying the R9T very soon i am very interested in what you guys think about the sporting ability of this bike...I will be coming from a Kawasaki 900RS & was able to set the stock suspension of the Kwaka up so it is good enough to perform pretty well in the twisties (even though others were putting the stock suspension down, which always seems to be the case with any bike) meaning no chicken strips on the tyres & good enough to scrape metal bits on the bitumen from time to time without upsetting the stock suspension....How do you think the R9T will compare ? Once i set up the stock suspension for my weight will I run out of cornering clearance if I push hard ? I haven't been able to find any videos of test rides where they are riding at pace in the twisties & commenting on it's cornering ability...

I will say from experience with both a stock and heavily modified R9T that the biggest “dynamic” improvements are had with tubeless tires / wheels (in my case BST carbon), Ohlins forks and rear shock, full titanium exhaust with Power Commander (or equivalent ECU), and weight reduction by removing emissions components and rear subframe. I track my bike and do spirited weekend rides and for anything under 150 mph the R9T is hard to beat once properly set up. I spend most of my time riding with the local Ducati club and a gaggle of V4 Panigales and I still find myself taking the R9T for the tight and twisty stuff.
