Hi all,
Well, after procrastinating for nearly a year, I've finally decided that my GSX1250, is going off to make a new owner very happy and I'm going to order a new MT09. I just don't use the Suzi enough, mainly because I live somewhere where it is very difficult to get my bike out and the Suzuki is so damn heavy. I always just end up taking my Firestorm instead.
I use the bike to commute in nice weather (70 mile round trip mainly A road and motorway), and for weekend blasts. I'm also going to dust off my ACU licence and do some hill climbs and a few track days.
I take a pillion sometimes, on day trips out.
I'm drawn toward the standard MT09 in orange. The Tracer looks nice with it's bigger tank, but what's the difference in the rider modes. Presumably its a bit softer? The front of the Street Rally looks like a scooter to my eyes, not really digging that. And the Tracker I'm just not sure about at all, although it does vaguely remind me of an old TDR250 that I had.
What is the opinion of the MT riding masses on the standard bike, given my use?
And ABS or No ABS?
Thanks
Deguello
