About the only good thing is if its price stays at same level, it will be a credible alternative to the street...but I just hate the looks . It looks a complete bitsa IMHO.
You have to admire the triple engine config though for power torque and feel....its why I am so sold on triumphs triples. Will have to get me another for sure.!
Its almost embarassing though how Yamaha have tried to copy the street triple ....but they fooked up the looks....
Jon I had the chance to go for the MT09, its a nice bike for the price, but nowhere as nice as the Speed triple I chose, glad I spent the extra.
And now I have a speed triple, I do see why you rave on about them. Just put twin akra's on, you want to hear it.
