So i finally decided I'm going for a Race Blu MT 09, my local dealer happens to have a 2015 mt 09 in race blu in stock, I can get this for 700 euros cheaper than the 2016 equivalent. Now the only changes i know of between 2015 and 2016 is the traction control. Do you guys think that TC is worth the extra 700 euros? Im quite a bit torn about this issue since TC sounds like a good idea for a bike with a good ammount of torque such as the MT.


P.S. This is my first post here hello from Malta!! :)

If you mainly ride on clean dry roads I'd say don't bother with the traction control. I've recently got a 2015 model, and the lack of T/c doesn't bother me at all - and here in the UK the roads are far from dry and gravel-free most of the time!

And if it does rain you can always put it in B mode (the softest).

Our roads are dry most of the year but some of the road surfaces aren't the best. I think I'm leaning towards going for the cheaper option. I might get the dealer to go down another couple of 100 euros on the 2015. They don't do the free akra over here :/ that would be nice hehe.

Never ridden a bike with traction control or abs. Nothing but A mode for me. I,m old school I use the feel of my arse on the seat and the feel of the throttle, clutch and brake in my hands .
