I've not test rode one yet only sat on one in the showroom... I've heard the bike wheelies very easy, also A mode can be fun!!

Difference between A and B mode is insane.
A few times I've slightly touched the throttle and am yanked backwards with the acceleration, gives me tingles at its power.
I don't think I could ever go back to something less power. The respect I have for it is unreal, truly is a power house!
4-5k revs, clutch snap up it comes no problem!
Off for a spin down the Gower tomorrow. Can't bloody wait. Bit Offspring playing in my headset, blue skies and my beautiful MT. Life is guuuud
Sounds mental mate, makes me wanna go get one right now
Bet that akrapovic sounds lush... If you ever head over towards the Wiltshire area you could always give me a shout and let me have a go

Damn, great buy! Bet you rode that away with a massive grin.
When I pass we'll meet up for a spin down the Gower.

I don't know if you're aware of the MT-09 recall. http://www.superbike.co.uk/bike-tes...sues-safety-recall-on-mt09-and-xsr900-models/
Check to see whether it's one that needs to be recalled. My brother-in-law's MT09 is going in next week for the recall. Something to do with the lower handlebar clamp or something, means you could lose steering. He's been advised not to ride his until it's taken in and dealt with.

Your suspension will be 100% fine. It's play in the head bearings from botched wheelies that you need to keep an eye on.

I've got no indicators on my DRZ 400, it passes the MOT every time.Illegal indicator lights
Yeah it depends where you take it for an MOT - a bit like cars. Some places will give you an advisory for a loud exhaust where for example the place I take mine to doesn't give a damn about the cans.
