Took the new Tracer 9 GT out for a 2hr test ride on Saturday.
Very tempted to buy


Then today I took the new MT09 out for a spin, only got 1/2hr but it gave me enough time to feel the lightness of the bike  and the speed wobbles past a certain speed.
Also very tempted to buy

I would have gone back to the sale guys and asked, why does a brand new bike have a speed wobble, and then depending on the answer walk away. It maybe the tyres even if they are oem specced... I test road a Z1000SX with poorly worn stock tyres and it was terrible. I tikd the sake guys this and he asked why I based it on and I said I had test ridden 2 other ZX's they did NOT have this issue...
