Yeah the cruise control is appealing. And I’m really surprised the Honda doesn’t have it. The CB1000R like the MT10 is fly by wire, so it wouldn’t really cost them anything to offer cruise control.
The appeal of cruise control for me is on roads like the A9 which have average speed cameras. I think the original cameras were front facing only but they are, so I’m told, being gradually updated to front and rear. I’ve got cruise control in the car now and it’s just perfect for average speed cameras.
My 2004 Fazer thou has Ivan’s slip on jet kit. Mike fitted mine in 2005, the full monty wasn’t yet available.
I wondered if the more upright riding position of the MT10 might be helpful when you just want to take it easy(ish).
I find it hard at times to ride the Fazer thou sensibly. But then I also remember being very apprehensive about buying that too. I wondered if it would get me into bother. Well yeah it can, but also no, it’s happy to roll along when you want it to.
Thank-you for the finance info. Yamaha’s 8.9% APR is far from competitive.
