Here we go. Off fae a week or twa;
If it's of any interest, the March edition of Ride magazine has a back to back article on the MT10 v CB1000R.
that actually looks pretty good..
Makes me wonder how much of a bleedin beast is this MT10 thing.

Me and 2 friends took some MT-10s out at Motorcycle live last year and none of us were particularly impressed. Between us we ride a Fz1, Gsxr-750 & Bandit 1200 and it was only the guy with the bandit that thought ithe MT was a fast bike.I can honestly say it didn't feel any more aggressive than my Fz1.That's not to say it was a bad bike or anything but I wouldn't bother selling mine to buy one.And it may be just me but I think it's a hell of an ugly s.o.b. I much prefer the honda looks wise. I even prefer the old cb1000r to the MT
Apparently the downpipes are single skin and turn black though.

with the prices they're charging I would have thought stainless steel should be the norm, "turning black" whaaaat!?
Yes I had it in full power mode haha it's only makes about 10bhp more than my fz1 so not an overly noticeable amount anyway.
QuoteYes I had it in full power mode haha it's only makes about 10bhp more than my fz1 so not an overly noticeable amount anyway.So what about that massive mid range punch they talk about. And it's tendency to lift it's front wheel all the time. Need some better weather to go and try one.
I took the missus out on the cb today for coffee and cake in Monmouth(eight frigging quid!) ive decided its not gonna be a pampered summer toy, its gonna be used as god intended....
