Started off on TY50 at age 16. 2x RD250s. TS90. TS250.XJ550 [god I loved THAT bike.] got married and had kids. Stroll on to age39 and a Bandit600. Then Thundercat. [had that for 10 years] which I P/Xd for the MT09 after a test ride. I test rode a FZ1 FZ800 and a Stripple. Nearly bought the Stripple but didn't. Love the MT and plan on keeping it for a good while to come.

I agree....this bike will take some beating...toyed with the idea of looking into a Ducati 821 but the running costs and parts and price put me off....anyway, I love the MT09 to bits!

He, i've crossed the 10k border, but still not crossed your road!
And for the health warning - no more stickers on the tank, it will just be removed

I had a firestorm, the guy I sold it two has made it look like a sack of shit now sad to see her get messed up.

Last bike was an Fz6 Fazer which was fine but lacked the looney factor.

Reading on another thread about people owning quite lively bikes before going onto the MT09....a friend of mine traded in a GSX 1000, I traded in my Suzuki GSR750, just wandering what other bikes came before the switch to the MT09...?

a Kawasaki z1000sx

i'm thinking of making this same switch at the moment. what made you decide to change? how are you finding it coming from the SX??

 

[RatHead]

I came from a BMW K1300R. A great bike (when not at the dealers for repairs etc) let down by poor quality components repeatedly failing making it very expensive to own and at the same time annoying.
