Took a MT-09 out for a test ride
Great bike. Nice and light, really easy to flip around the place. Good brakes. Lots of torque. Little bit buzzy at high speed, but it is only an 850
Suspension was a bit soft for me, or I just wasn't heavy enough for it, but it cornered well. After only 15 mins on it my ass felt a bit sore, but then I had just gotten off the Fireblade before that... Good looking bike too, not quite sure it looks as good as a Street/Speed Triple though
Silky gear box, not clunky like on the Speed Triple.
One of the best contenders so far for Speedy replacement, but not just yet. Around £7k new, so it'll be a few years before they come down into my preferred price range. The one I tested was apparently used in the Thundersprint last week too
