Sold! Many thanks to anyone who looked.

Now reduced to gather a bit more interest. Bike really is stunning and if you're after an MT you won't find many a better example.

I have plenty of other images if anyone would like any. Many thanks for looking.

Due to lack of use since getting with my girlfriend and a new love of push bikes I would like my bike to go to a good home that can give it some use. I'll add some photos tomorrow but the bike is as new and has the very nice Akrapovic exhaust, the full fat Yamaha one. I have the original that...

For those with a switch do you have the ABS model?

I can't tell people enough to try this if you find the bike jerky. It absolutely transforms the bike and makes roundabouts at slow speeds much more relaxed and less changes of underwear!

Guys if you haven't tried changing the C02 mixture for each cylinder to 14 then I urge you to do so it really transforms the bike and takes less than five minutes to do! 14 might not be right if on a stock exhaust but just play with it up to that and it cuts out all the jerkiness :)

I prefer the look of the official Akra and the price is fair for a full system compared to other bikes I've seen. They have the exhaust in stock but got it booked in for the 7th of April to do it in tandem with first service, I am very excited!

I went into Raceways of Fleetwood today to book in the bike for it's first service and Steve says to be just have a listen to the demo out there with the Akra on it......... So now I'm £900 lighter and gonna have a grin a mile wide every morning (sorry neighbors your new wake up call will be...

Raceways in Fleetwood Top class Yamaha dealership, ever friendly but more importantly totally open and honest. Steve the owner is just a pleasant down to earth guy who loves bikes and understands his customers.

I have to say I bought a bike from Clay Cross and they are without doubt the shoddiest dealership I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with! I usually use Raceways in fleetwood but they had a particular bike I wanted at the time.... never again! Stick with good dealers and they don't get any...

And in fairness what you said was correct! And my god unless tacky was the design brief it couldn't get much worse than their bits n bobs!

Motornovo finance were offering 1.99% Might be worth asking about over that ridiculous rate!

Hiya Trevor, My bike does exactly the same and the demo bike did the same too. I'll mention it but I think it might be standard. Thanks Richard

With the comfort seat option and a decent screen I can imagine the MT-09 would be a comfy cruiser but it's limited tank range might spoil the fun. That being said the MT would be much nicer on the twisties due to the light weight and torque. But to me, having sat on the Z and MT, what ruled...
