Hello everyone. I picked up my new MT09 in Deep Armour from Tamworth Yamaha yesterday and after 200 miles of smiles I've decided this is definitely the bike for me. This is only my 3rd Yam since passing my test back in 1969 (yes I am that old) and after spending the last 8 years riding BMW's at last I've found a bike with some character and a definite WOW factor. It's fast for it's class, tips into corners like a sports bike, has more than enough braking power and the suspension is passable. Ok the throttle is a bit sharp and snatches at at low revs around town but I'll get the hang of it although I need to do something about that seat because I'm sure it's made of wood.
