So, here i am pondering over a new MT-09 and am just curious if anyone could tell me the pros and cons for it in comparison to the new Kawasaki Z850
I've always been a Z fan due to the 'bomb proof' engine that can sit at a ton and keep going at that speed all day long if you so wished.
Z's are heavy though and, to be hnoest, have never really felt comfortable enough to get down into a bend.. open roads with nice straights or swerves are fine, but never had the big confidence with Z's on tighter corners.
As much as Ihave done short journeys on my bikes,iam more of a long journey type so comfort has to play a part too.
What differences could I expect between the two, what benefits will I get with an MT?
