I have a foot in each camp! :lol . Both excellent bikes-but different.
Indeed, an IL4 compared to a parallel twin I would've thought would be very different in character. Another reason I don't think the MT series has a place here. The MT10 perhaps more so as a replacement for the FZ1, using a retuned version of an R1 engine, as have all the litre Fazers - but it still ain't a Fazer!

For me the MT10 is the only bike that is very removed from the Fazer-family principles. The Fazers and MT03,07,09 and tracers are all do-anything bikes - it prolly why we like them. The MT10 is very much pitched at taking on big european sports muscle. As a Gen 2 thou owner, i wouldnt consider it a replacement. It's more like pure sports with no fairing.
