This looks good

A teaser for the full road (or off it even!) test that Moto Journal have done on the MT-09.

I'm looking forwards to next week!

I wish people would stop showing me cool MT-09 stuff, I'm still torn about whether to get one or not!  :'(

I'm sure with my modding talents I could easily do something about that  :D

If I was loaded, you could have it with pleasure buddy 8)

But then I'd also have a
KTM 1290 s duke,
S1000r
BMW 1200rt.
Bimota SB6R,
RGV250
Oh, and an MT-09!

I'd skip the KTM and the Beemers, but I have to confess - I am slobbering at the mention of the Bimota!!

RGV? Nah, doesn't do it for me. As for the MT09, I'd love to try its brother the MT-07 - looks like a lot of fun.  :)

The 07 just doesn't do it for me for some reason. I'd stick with the 09, it's enormous fun, believe me, I've been in a couple of test rides and giggled like a tipsy teenager all the time. :P

(Time to kill the thread)

I'm guessing the MT-09 is more Thou-ish: is the MT-07 more 600-ish?

I'd prefer to stay clear of bigger bikes till I have some full power miles under my tyres - currently counting days till I'm derestricted!  :D

A while to go there, due to pennies.  :'(

I just hope I can get summat on the road before the summer is out.
