Went to Raceways in Fleetwood for a set of brake pads, and there it was, the mt09 spanking new.
I paid for my pads and was asked did I want to take it out for a spin. Silly question really. ......
Within the first 10 seconds I was giggling like a schoolboy with his first porn mag. This thing is a hoot and a half! Massive torque from almost tickover, and it keeps on pulling up to about 12k!!!!
It's like sitting on a light supermoto with twin turbo nitrous power, it's awesome!
It's a hooligan tool, for that there's no doubt. It was trying to wheelie off every roundabout at very low revs! It's a Sunday blast tool, but an every day ride, Erm, no!
Controls feel a bit fisher price, and the mode button works, but would probably get ignored after a while.
I even think it looks cool! Can't wait for a faired version.
