[/size] [/quote] Not going to mention the EU but I'm sure their to blame for something  [/quote] It's the extra 5mm ride height mate ...I'm tellin ya....bastards....I know how you feel. I got a technical question for you ....i know that's unusual for me being a thick Foccer...but when u test rode it did your plates touch the frog?

If that means did my feet touch the ground in Exupnut language then think I was on the balls of my feet I can normally get one foot flat on a camber, if you meant something else then I have no idea what you're talking about.
I tell you what I did notice, the turning circle on full lock was rubbish. When I pulled over looking for a good spot for a photo it took me a few shunts to turn round in the road.

Had a look at the MT10 & although it's touted as a £10k bike you'll definitely need a Radiator guard & Oil cooler guard, Tail tidy & like most of us a slip on end can.
If you go for the official Yamaha parts from the MT10 accessory catalogue thats another £800-00 - Want to turn it into a long distance machine - add luggage for a further £700-00. Like on of the earlier posts, I haven't booked a test ride yet as it will make my Gen2 Fazer feel slow & heavy - like it did after I took the GSXR1000R naked for a test. >: The looks are subjective - it does look better in the metal - but what puts me off the bike, is the overall build quality finish. Without doubt the engine is the star of the show but Yamaha have had to compromise on the finish to get it under the magic £10k. The welding seams on the swing arm, the placement of the breather pipes & cables that are exposed, look like an afterthought & unfinished. I don't like the plain plastic finish on a lot of the bike - mudguards, rear hugger etc. Without doubt a cracking machine but (unfortunately) for me, I couldn't spend that amount of money on a bike that needs more money spending on it. (As a matter of interest re: the MT-10 test ride video made in France in earlier post - has the 100bhp restriction now been lifted / abolished as voted for in the EU Parliament?)
Paradox - A bit like paracetamol but different.

Well, back to the original subject, Yamaha are doing a MT roadshow, it'll be at Boxhill this weekend if you want to test ride any of the MT range.

Oh no, came so close to cancelling that black one this morning. Turns out this was done as a one off for a customer and is obviously sold already. Look's spectacular. What do you think ?
