Is MT10 twice the bike MT09? Don't think so. It has more power. But MT09 is lighter and sharper.
I can do 80 mph in 2nd with MT09 if I want. I don't think I need MT10. Unless you do a lot of track days MT09 is more than enough.
MT09 is 115bhp.
MT10 is 160bhp. (MT09 + 40%!)
My FZS1000 is 143bhp + Ivans kit. (150bhp?)
I’ve never done a track day.
Sure it’s 3 grand more, but it’s a lot more bike.
Is more than enougth ever really enougth?
The Mt09 isn't even in the same league as the MT10.
The only similarity is the name and the fact they are naked.
The MT10 is a naked r1 with premium features and high end components. The MT09 is a budget triple, its only real comparison would be with a Triumph speed triple? But I suspect the Triumph would trounce it because again that is a premium machine.
Comparing the 10 to the 09 is like comparing a Cbr 600 to a cbr500, they share a name and style but that's about it
