    Took the 2017 MT-09 for a demo the other day it was the grey with the fluorescent wheels, it is the same as the earlier model but it has a quickshifter and a slipper clutch which are good, the engine is smoother but still has the annoying transmission whine in 2nd 4th and 6th gears which seems...

    No whitty title - Hello all

    I have always been a sportsbike fanboy until 4 weeks ago when I had my first ride of the season. I should have eased myself into really, but ended up clocking 200 miles with a mate on my CBR600RR5. I didn't really enjoy it as I was aching for most of the ride after the first 20 mins. He was on...
