Had the road test today, on an MT10, hated it.
Too tall, felt like I was perched on it rather than sitting on a bike, a bit like riding a 70's trailie.
The worst part though has to be the engine, how have they taken a 4 cylinder engine and made it feel like a parallel twin?
Mode 1 is like a switch, everything or nothing, mode 2 was jerky as hell and mode 3 felt dull until you got the revs up to a point where you're breaking all the speed limits.
No useable torque until you're flying.
Overall it looks like plastic and didn't feel like a £15k bike.
I've told the garage to spend the £1k to fix my bike instead of spending £15k on a bike I don't think I'll ever get on with.
