Hi guys.
MT-07 owner and loving that (about to have the suspension uprated today) and probably about to change my 1050 Speed Triple for an MT-09. After 4 years of Triumph ownership I've come to realise that it's now just too big and heavy for the type of riding I like to do (A roads and twisty bits).
The MT is much lighter and the engine is almost as good as the 1050 and with some money spent on the bouncy bits the handling should also be.
Have had a lookthrough the forum about suspension, akra exhausts, etc and getting another test ride to day to confirm things and try to arrange a deal.
Only real thing will be whether I get a secondhand (grey) or new (race blue) model (from The Bike Shop in Farnborough) as both should/will be fitted with Akra.
Later guys and gals.
