I had been riding tdm900's for 15 yrs and when thinking of a replacement I test rode the MT. The engine is a dream but like all yams the suspension is seriously lacking, first job would have been to replace the rear shock cos it's way too soft and under damped and resprung and re valves the front.
Although there have been various reports of the suspension on the MT07/09 bikes not being up to the job you have to factor in "gross" ie all up fully kitted out weight of rider.
tony_d123 ... BEAUTIFUL machine, congratulations. Think it's a case of being content only with what you are familiar with / what you know.Then, you went out and tried something NEW (not forgetting the MT-09 is almost 15 years NEWER than a FZS600), and you've seen the light. lol.I've watched a lot of youtube videos of owners on their MT-09 / MT-07's, Reviews etc, lovely looking machines, plus the power to go with it.I'd seriously consider going the same direction if I parted with my FZS 600.
IMO, the "spiritual" successor of the FZS600 is the Kawasaky Versys 650 - especially the new one with the not-too-ugly headlights.
