Just taken an mt09 for a spin.

[nick crisp]

And yet again the snatchy fly by wire throttle and front end handling is mentioned - mmmmmm?

I wonder why Yamaha can't get this right first time by now? Apparently, the Ducati Hyperstrada is the same, but KTMs 990 SMT is a lot better. They must have tested the damn thing to death before putting it to production, did their test riders just think, oh well, it'll do?  :\
