Just taken an mt09 for a spin.

But did they try it in all different scenarios? The biking press seem to have this habit of taking everything to their favourite areas and just ragging the arse off them, whilst Joe Public is going to have to live with them day in, day out, in all situations. Like I said before, I think it'd be great, as long as it doesn't have to be your only bike. I would wait until someone publishes a long term test and really uses the thing before deciding to buy.
