I had a go on an MT09 a while back and quite liked it apart from a few things. The snatchy throttle, the fuel range and as it was a fairly hot day I couldn't really gauge the wind blast. I've got my FZ1 up for sale and seriously thinking of pulling the ad as I'm really struggling to see what can replace it. Mine is an approx £3.5k bike that does things quite well.
The next possible potential bike will be at least £1k more or the Tracer even more. The tracer is more appealing to me for a few reasons. What keeps going through mind is what can they do much better than the FZ1? I'm not a knee down rider but like to make progress but the fuel range on the FZ1 can get annoying when the light starts flashing from anywhere between 75/120 miles. The most I've ever been was 160miles with not much left in the tank.
I liked the MT10 when I took one out last year but to me it wasn't really a "Take my wallet" coupled with the fact dealers pissed me off with long, needless waiting times trying to make the bike more exclusive than what I thought it was.
