Hi, just wanted to say hi to all fellow MT09 riders, just got my bike back last Tuesday after in early December a kind gent decided to rear end me at the traffic lights, Not happy, lost the bike for 5 weeks we had loads of rides planned for xmas, Only got the bike in September and had been riding every weekend and the odd commute to work.love the bike to death. Have fitted some new bling to the bike and shes looking awesome, was so happy to take it up Mount tambourine yesterday morning, temp was a bit sticky at 34 but still had a good ride, although the fun police were crawling everywhere. As an expat from the UK its great to be able to ride all year round, so many great roads coastal and mountain roads and rides within an hour or two of home. Gotta say the best bike i have owned so far so much fun, Have ridden my husbands BMW s1000r although its an awesome bike i do prefer the MT09's riding position, At the moment i wouldnt know what to change it to in the future im not sold on the look of the 2017 model yet it may grow on me. Past bikes were all different i wasnt struck on the suzuki sv650s i had in the UK couldnt get on with the seating position, but riding over here ive put it NOT down to the bike but the restrictive leathers i wore great to be able to get more comfortable riding gear now. I do love the naked bikes best though.
