I run PR4's on my MT, the grip is quite good as I can keep up with and most times go harder my mate who has Battleaxes on his GSXS1000 and can give another mate on his Daytona 675R with Diablo Corssa's a hurry up too, but that could also be partly me hahaha
Had a 2005 Suzuki DL650 V-strom and loved that thing and put 65,000kms on it and it was ridden hard I owned it from 08 up to pretty much the end of 2015, the bike before that though was a Honda VT250 also known as a Magna (I think?) nice little cruiser and wore out a set of pegs on it too.
Thought I'd give this thread a bit of a revival, Just went to the drags on the weekend for the first time and I gotta say the MT-09 is a weapon. Quickest time was an 11.154 at 216km/h (still waiting on the footage from my mate) the next time I go I'm aiming for a 10sec pass and all the bike has...
Well........ owned the bike two weeks had 250kms on it, went for a ride and hit some gravel (that was unable to be seen until you're on top of it) at 40km/h and high sided. It happened Tues and I'm still sore now, just waiting on insurance to sort the bike as she has about $4000 worth of damage...
How's it going all
Just bought an Orange 2015 MT-09 and love the thing, so much power compared to my old bike, which was a 2005 DL650 V-strom with 72000+kms on it. I look forward to reading about mods and travels
