Very nice, if I have still got a job next year then I will be trading my FZ1s in for one, like the look off the orangey coloured ones.

Nice one Val!
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

So that's why the picture challenge has been left un touched ----- cause Val ain't got a Fazer to do it on
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Nice one Val. You will love it . Is it a new to you? or a new one, just that the new ones come with an Akrpovic exhaust systems.
Getting the MT09 has given me a new lease of life for biking again. I loved my FZ1 but it was getting to heavy for my aching joints.
Enjoy  :)

Thats why I need to change my FZ1s also, waiting for a small operation to get a vein in my right leg that leaks causing my calf to swell by 2 inch in diameter sealed off and then a new knee. Have sat on a MT09 and found the seating position was instantly better for me.

Slappy you will really enjoy it, okay it is down on power compared to the FZ1 but get it on the twisties and it will not disgrace itself with anything on the roads. Just get the suspension sorted out though, it is really bad, especially the rear shock.
As I said I was on the point of packing in biking, this 09 has knocked years off me. I was recently on an SX forum meet 15 of us and around North Wales there were not to many running ahead of me when we were being bad boys  lol.
