Greetings from edinburgh! I love my MT-09

[Chipie303]

..hi, got this 1month ago! Covered 1300 miles with a huge grin so far! The back tyre was destroyed by 900 miles love this wheelie machine!

 

[flydnb]

back tyre after 900 miles is it the Dunlop?

 

[flydnb]

welcome by the way.

 

[Chipie303]

Hi, thanks! Its the bridgestone s20, ive put the same replacement on because it just has such good grip in all conditions! I cant believe the fuel my bike uses either, lucky to get 125miles per tank!

 

[Cams]

Bloody hell 900 miles!!! That's insane.

 

[Chipie303]

Replaced at 1200miles after a telling off from the police! Its so hard to ride these machines conservatively! I fear for my licence

 

[Cams]

I've got the Bridgestone on mine too and it's felt sticky since the get go! They are licence losers that's for sure. Having said that, we should get a Scotland/North England/anyone who wants to join ride out organised at some point. I'm just across the water in not so sunny Fife!

 

[Chipie303]

That sounds a good plan, some cracking roads around here! ive not seen 1 other mt-09 on the roads of edinburgh although the dealer (saltire) said he'd sold loads + was struggling to meet the demand.

 

[Cams]

Definitely mate. Within 5 minutes of leaving my house I'm on some great twisties! I'm the same mate. Not seen any on the road. And by the reaction I'm getting I don't think many people have seen them in the flesh yet. I got mine at Alan Duffus, although I almost made the trip to Saltire. 3 years free servicing is a good deal!

Yeah, I thought the free servicing was a nice touch! I'll be up for a run anytime, might head to anstruther for a fish supper next week + hook up on route!

I've only seen one other one up here. Parked outside the bike shop in Muir of Ord.
Who's giving the 3 year service deal ?
Cheers,

Steve.

Can't beat an Anstruther fish supper mate! Great idea! We'll have to get a few runs out your way too. Would be good to learn a few more runs out that direction!

Hi Steve. Saltire motorcycles in Edinburgh was/is doing 3 years free servicing with the bike. Almost enticed me to travel through from Fife to buy one! That quickly went to pot though when I did my test ride at Alan Duffus in Kirkcaldy and had to buy one as soon as I got back

 

[mirdif64]

Thanks Cams, I bought mine from AD as well.
At least you are fairly close to Dealers.
Cheers
