Noggy, suspension wise, after the initial feeling bumpy, probably due to the bike being lighter and not set up for me, I got on ok with it. It was powering out of bends quiet nicely.
Peter, Yes in std and A modes you could make it snatchy by being quick winding the throttle, but in B mode it was much like the FZ1, very rideable.
There is certainly no lack of power in normal road riding and being lighter than an R6 with that nice upright riding position I feel a good rider would be VERY quick on an MT-09. (not me I hasten to add
)
I'm starting to like the Kenny Roberts white one now, I wonder how well they are painted, do you think there will be paint issues later on?
