I had the MT-07 and really loved that bike. Unfortunately it was a little bit too small for me.
Now I am trying to get used to the unbelievable power of my new MT-09. :)
 
"Tinned meat"

Just trying to show you guys some quality British engineered exhausts for your bikes, no offensive or aggression in mind, sorry buddy.
 
My last bike was a Suzuki DL650. It used to get tired sometimes & take a little nap........

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...?

Hi all, Dr Dave newbie here. Last bike was a Multistrada 1200 with termis and ecu, Superduke before that. Bloody love my MT, reminds me of my old 350 LC (but obviously way better). The things fun, more than can be said about the multistrada. Seats an absolute killer though and it seems there is only so much you can dial in/out of the stock suspension. For the price and bearing in mind what's been done to keep the cost down this bike shouldn't be as good as it is....basically its more than the sum of its parts..... suits me fine.

Looking forward to finding out from you guys how to make it more comfortable and handle better in time for a June jaunt to the Pyrenees.

After my first test ride on a tracer a thought thar seats crap but now with 600 mile on its fine so maybe you just have to get some miles done on it to soften it up.

Hi Shaun,
Unfortunately I have the standard MT so ain't no breaking that plank in. Sort of wishing I had bought the Tracer instead cuz by the time I've added a comfy seat, hand gaurds, screen etc it will be a wannabe Tracer. Bugger!
 
Had a 2005 Suzuki DL650 V-strom and loved that thing and put 65,000kms on it and it was ridden hard I owned it from 08 up to pretty much the end of 2015, the bike before that though was a Honda VT250 also known as a Magna (I think?) nice little cruiser and wore out a set of pegs on it too.
