Reckon I'd buy that. I see MT-01, Bonnie, Diavel, Harley... a real Heinz bike. Love it.
-
Yeah, I really really like that! especially in the green. Scramblers seem to be all the rage at the mo.
-
It's a real looker, I wonder how the list price will compare to the Triumph Scrambler.

Yes1 Based on the MT-07 with "old skool" round headlamp,different fuel tank. Black frame detailing, round speedo. IMO has the makings a a good seller if they make it price competititive. There is also a variant fuel tank in "brushed aluminium".
I can vouch for the fun factor of the parallel twin engine.

Yes it looks like great fun, I also like the look of Ducati scrambler , 750 is plenty big enough for country lanes and short trips to the seaside , wouldn't want to go long distances or spend all day on , but I have the gen 1 for that.
-
nah its ugly as a badgers ass.
it'll be a bugger to keep clean with all that nooks/crannies.
-
no, it's bits and bobs of of retro type bikes--just dont quite look right. :pc
-
Hmm... looks quite nice to me. I didn't expect to like it as I don't really like the MT-07 or MT-09... not that I can afford to get another bike; new or otherwise
-

:agree :'(

I like the overall effect, but as johnakay says, there are too many nooks and crannies, it's definitely not a sleek looking bike.
Very similar to the tracer in that it's as if they just kept adding parts then paint them all black to try to hide them.
That said, I do like it. It's a bit like an impressionist painting; stop looking at all the individual bits and step back to appreciate it as a whole.
-
good- retro looks, decent quality finish, easy to work on, engine looks like a stressed member
bad- no infills at rear brake reservoir, gap above the shock, thin spoked wheels, ugly exhaust box . . .
Just my opinion though. As I've said earlier it'll come down to price, scramblers are the 'in' bike at the moment.
-
I quite like it. It's much better looking than that ugly Triumph scrambler that looks like the exhaust was an afterthought.

You're right! It's one ugly mother foccer of an exhaust!
-
Needs sweeping side panels-looks incomplete without them.
-
I would love one as a second bike as for too many nooks and crannies I see the point but they're for riding not polishing. :lol.

I thought for a moment that was packing a pair of missiles!
-
I like the look of that more than the MT07.

Theres some very tasty aftermarket exhaust systems available for the MT-07 now (apart from the ridiculously priced Akrapovic) so should be easy to improve the looks unlike the Triumph
-
I think it's a great city bike
-
i like it
-
you need see it in real life I thought the ducati scrambler looked okay till I saw one in a show room looked naff
I have an mt07 motors great
-
I like that, if you just want to have a fun run and not to worried when the sat nav sends you fecking D roads. If price is right could be up for having a run on one of those . I am a fan of the 07/09 concept .
