I was looking at both the MT09 and the Street Triple at Blade's in Swindon today. I do prefer the look of the Triumph, but if the MT09 had better suspension as standard, I reckon I could be swayed. It's certainly a bike I would like to try, and maybe when there are a few 2nd hand ones around, it would be worth buying and upgrading. I was really rooting for Yamaha when the first launch was imminent, and still would like to see it mature and do well. At least they've looked at the fuelling issue, which IMO is a big step in the right direction. But it would take a complete styling change for me to lust after one. Superficial maybe, but there you go.
