Just reading mcn shootout including the MT07.....while it is a tiny bike & a bit budget basics i like this stat:-
ROLL ON 30-80MPH in 3rd gear.............4.85 seconds.
That's pretty impressive
So 10mph for every 1 second in 3rd gear all the way to 80mph
So i usually back down to about 80'ish to save the licence anyway.
It will still do over a tonne if it needs to
So that sort of power but with a better handling bike & bigger proportions is ideal.......which could be the MT09 but there are still some doubts about its handling as standard.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
