    Attention Administrator - Please 'Delete' Me

    Thanks Birdy - I'm the wrong side of 50 so it really was time to tone it down a little... :rolleyes: While taking a second test ride on an MT a couple of months ago I just knew it would potentially end up in tears somehow... Not worth the risk, for me anyway. I know someone could say "well you...

    Attention Administrator - Please 'Delete' Me

    Thanks Cypher - a little bit 'motard' in appearance. Despite having only 54bhp it really does get a shift on. The long stroke engine and torque from the word go really is impressive, but as some reports say, it does take a short while to get used to the relatively low redline of 6500. But then...

    Pictures? OK, if you insist..! Modded with a few bits and pieces and believe it or not, has a superb V twin exhaust note. Something to do with the stroke and crank angle. Thanks for all your comments - you're and understanding bunch.... :cool: BTW, the pic of the bike outside the double gates...

    Attention Administrator - Please 'Delete' Me

    Hi there - hopefully an Administrator can pick this up. In the end I didn't purchase an MT-09. In this case I really had to let head rule heart, so an uber-sensible Honda NC750X now sits in my garage. More suited to my purposes and a genuine average 75mpg (must be an age thing to get excited...

    How Is Your MT’s Appearance and Finish Standing Up to Winter?

    No matter what is replaced under warranty for corrosion, it'll only happen again. :(

    MotoEvolution Bar End Indicators

    A mate had these fitted to his Speed Triple - Oberon stuff is top quality and they looked great. They were a little time consuming to fit but worthwhile by all accounts.

    Which Tank Pad

    Agreed here - you can't mess up the tank stripe with a tank pad stuck over it..!

    How Is Your MT’s Appearance and Finish Standing Up to Winter?

    This question is really directed at those owners who have been riding their MTs for a few months and have done so during all sorts of weather. I tend to get ahead of the (corrosion) game by using ACF-50 which I believe does make a difference but, basically, how is the appearance and finish of...

    Do you think ABS is worth waiting for? (in my situation)

    I was offered that bike by Woking Yamaha before Xmas - great with all the extras but unless you're not getting their finance (waaay higher than a 'new' bike deal) it's not really worth it. Great as a cash deal though. It wasn't the colour I wanted, that's all.

    evotech after market

    I agree Gazza - Evotech stuff tends to be of better quality than other aftermarket stuff - R & G for example...!
