In my opinion...which is all it is...I think the MT-09 is over-rated!

It's a great priced bike - which certainly makes a change from Yamaha - however...why can't they do FZ1 ABS on 0% as they do with most of the range?

 

Took a test ride one one of these a few weeks ago. Everyone is raving about it but i didn't like it. I wasn't keen on the riding position but....that snatchy throttle caught me out a few times especially coming out of corners.
 
Jumped straight on a Street Triple & was a much better ride - but not as good as the FZ1 test ride.
 
Great price but once you start adding a few extras (flyscreen / bellypan etc) it then starts becoming an £8k bike.
