Hi there - hopefully an Administrator can pick this up.

In the end I didn't purchase an MT-09.

In this case I really had to let head rule heart, so an uber-sensible Honda NC750X now sits in my garage. More suited to my purposes and a genuine average 75mpg (must be an age thing to get excited about that!)

Thing is, after many years of big fast bikes it's about time I slowed down a little by removing the temptation of ballistic performance.

The MT-09 is a great bike, but needs younger pilots, or those who haven't lost their 'edge' as I think I have for something of this ilk.

Enjoy your MTs...!

All the best.

Congrats on your purchase but we want pictures nevertheless! All bikes are cool be it MT-09, Triple or NC750X. I saw one at the MCN show actually and thought it looked quite cool. At least visually it looks like a perfect commuter bike.
 
same here delete if you wish , after careful consideration and a few test rides i ended up in bed with the enemy with a street triple r

Pictures? OK, if you insist..! Modded with a few bits and pieces and believe it or not, has a superb V twin exhaust note. Something to do with the stroke and crank angle.

Thanks for all your comments - you're and understanding bunch.... :cool:

BTW, the pic of the bike outside the double gates was Barry Sheene's house in Charlwood, Surrey, before he shipped out to Oz.

No shame there Del , been worrying about my licence for a while now.... cant help popping little wheelies everywhere ! I filter to the front at traffic lights , just to wheelie off in front of everyone , im 47 fer christ sake !May sue Yamaha if i get done :)
 
i, for my sins joined the ducati hyperstrada forum cos i thought my days were numbered at xmas and decided to have 1 last new toy before being confined to a rubber ring. the hyperstrada was the bestest new status symbol i could afford in thailand (or the nc750 but i went to the grand launch of the honda range and was given a new beer all night for free which ended with me kicking in a shop front in an attempt to find an intruder, an event that im reminded of every time i see the hondas) and so i went for the ducati.........till i rode it.


........thank the baby jesus that they decided to bring in the MT09! besides, the hyperstrada forum had canadians in there .........

Sounds like a monty python sketch.... poor MT getting attacked by random Canadians wherever he pops up lol ! I hope some pick this up , got to know why they hate you so much man ....

Very nice! I personally love the look of it! Looks almost stunning in white (and a matching helmet :) ).

Thanks Cypher - a little bit 'motard' in appearance.

Despite having only 54bhp it really does get a shift on. The long stroke engine and torque from the word go really is impressive, but as some reports say, it does take a short while to get used to the relatively low redline of 6500. But then, the gears are so tall I haven't found it an issue.

And it's more than just a commuter, don't let the 'rags' tell you that either.

Cheers
Del
