My new MT-03.

[Matt06]

No more ZXR400 and although I was going to get an R6, I ended up with this beast instead.

My new MT-03. I have to say having been on a bit of a rideout on it today its one of the most fun bikes I have ridden. Not that I have ridden that many . I love the way the bike handles. I can get my knee down on it or stick my foot out supermoto stylee and its awesome either way. Its supposed to wheelie like a bitch, but I havent had the chance yet .

It might not be the most powerful bike, but I can honestly say I dont care . I would have loved an R6, but thats for when I trust myself a little more with the power . Oh yeah and when my insurance is cheaper . With this bike I can learn to corner much better and have loads of fun without having to do silly speeds all the time. That said, when its opened up it freekin' goes, just runs out of puff at 100.

Anyway, I'll be quiet now...

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

It's... different, which is what I like most about it. Love the angular lines on it and the orange really sets it off.

Have fun on it mate

To wheelie that, just potter along at about 10mph and whip the throttle back. She should lunge forwards with the front wheel a few inches off the ground.

[Matt06]

Thanks guys. I might get the Akras for it, but they are pretty expensive.

Thanks for the wheelie tip. Going to try that in a bit .

I love those bikes. There's one that's always parked at uni so most days I have a look.

That's such a cool bike.

If I didn't have so much bypass work on my commute I'd have one.

Comfiest looking bike seat ever

I got it brand new so cost me 4k.

And yes, I have popped the odd wheelie ....

Still need loads of practice. Sometimes I just cant do them well at all and sometimes pop an awesome one. Its a 50/50 thing .

Hmmm... when I get meh a ZX6R .

I would let you have a go though, but you live... somewhere else. I let my mate ride it and he hasnt passed his test. He took me on the back for a bit too, which was fun. On a private road though, ehem....

Tis a well fun bike its just I know when 33bhp is over I will want more than the 45 it offers.

Nice nothing bike, I'm not liking the black plasticy stuff though it looks cheap and you definately need a nice can on that!

I think the mt-03 looks the business

I don't usually like non-faired bikes but this bucks the trend

Happy Riding

near blockbuster at the bottom of tallow hill.

its probably because your bike is bright orange mate, the CG is a slight bit more discreet, emphasis on slight
