All the reviews leave me feeling like I want to buy it... but looks wise... there's just something missing in my opinion or not quite right...
Japan needs to come up with something outright sensational if they're to regain the top spot I reckon. I also think Yamaha missed out in the looks department with the new bike, and even though that's a personal thing, they need a consensus of opinion - they've seemingly divided it instead with this bike. The new triple engine will have to make up for this if they want it to be a bike that people are talking about for years to come. KTM, Aprillia, Triumph and Ducati are still a whole league ahead imo, but Yamaha are still probably the most likely Jap manufacturer to change this - I just don't think it'll be with this MT-09. But we'll see.
