    2017 mt_09

    Asked my dealer when he will get the 2017 MT-09 in stock, he said maybe the end of this month or early January so my name is down for a demo ride and if it is better than my 2015 MT-09 I could be tempted to upgrade, the only problem is I don't like the colours that the uk is going to get.

It's not actually as far as...

    Loose Screen Adjusters

    After enjoying a couple of great rides on my Tracer over the weekend, I've noticed that the screen height adjuster knobs are working loose. Anyone else had this problem? I re-tighten them, go for a ride only to find they have slackened off again.

    Hello from a newbie

    Well I'm the proud owner of a 2014 MT-09. Jumped on a train for a 4.5hour ride to view the bike, bought it and rode it 288 miles back. What an absolutely joy to ride, does everything with ease. Some suspension work to be carried out and an Akropovic race system ordered! Pictures will follow.
