I have had the bike a month, bought it with 5k on the clock. Overall very pleased, but some downsides, the throttle snatch I've learnt to live with, but it shouldn't be on a new model. Undecided whether to go with the Yammie flash. Still waiting to see if there is a power loss. But I have...

A big old lazy MT01

You must be unlucky. I have been riding bikes for 49 years, 10 in Australia, the rest in this country. I have never been pulled in the UK, but the cops in Oz were absolute bastards.

Just traded my MT 01 that I'd ridden for the last 5 years for an MT 09. Whilst the 01 was a great bike, you sometimes went into tight bends wondering if you would come out the other side! The 09 is on rails, what a difference. My one concern is with the sharp power on/off on the throttle...
