Planned on getting this tomorrow but will have to wait till saturday as have crushed my foot and won't fit in my bike boot

Anyone had an MT-03 before? Did you rate it much..
This is an '08 plate, as new and a good price so thought id get it and see how it goes...
Need some louder cans on it when I get it though..

Love the mt03's big noisy single cylinder, cant go wrong Shame about the price though. Bit of a strange step going from an R6 to one of them though?

[FURBAR]

Was on my list before i got mine .........

Hmmm it is a bit.
Not quite as quick for a start

If you saw the lane to get back home on to the farm when its rained (is a boggy river now after only a few days of rain) don't want to be taking a shiny R6 out in the rain never mind up and down that lane.

'08 plate. 1500 miles. 1 owner. Immaculate.
£2500 so can't moan at that.
Can put 10,000 on it and not lose out

Decent price plus you can chuck out your dildos.
Wouldn't mind one as a commuter when I have a bit more cash.

You might find it a bit gutless compared to your R6. But if it's only for winter...then I wouldn't worry about everyone else's impressions of it, you have the next 8 months to work that out for yourself.

Looks like a nice bike. You got any bigger pics?

[AngelGrinder]

Strangely I went from a 98 R6 to a MT-03 and I still LOVED it.

I had twin arrow cans on it, and it sounded like the apocalypse...here's a vid of it .....

Already on the look out for some louder cans for it
Take it only cans designed for this model will fit? (without modification that is)

Only have the pics from the original advert and not sure about resizing them

Looks chuckable on the lanes so will have to see.
Getting it from welwyn garden city tomorrow after a long train journey. Will just sleep I thi

Think ill get a numb ass on this?
Is about 270ish miles back home on it, or is the seat position forgiving enough?
Just think I will be bored sat on m/ways for so long

Will let you know if its any good. Train gets in about 1030 tomorrow so should be back before dark ...

Hate the big moulded platic number plate plastic thing, forgotten its name as you can tell so first on the list is a tail tidy me thinks, then rad guard, fenda extenda, liberal coating of ACF50 and should be good to go.

A303 OR M4&M5 ?

Am thinking A303 if its sunny (haha) OR M4&M5 if it isn't.

The 303 is about according to this..

[Link to map failed]

about 20 odd miles shorter but takes longer in the long run.

Just don't want to sit for hours on motorways.
Taken the A303 to London before but was a late night trip to suprise the ex and can't recall much of the route

Damn that looks like a fun bike. With each can of smith's I drink, the more I want to flog mine and get one of them. Enjoy

[craigs23]

I'd always wanted one, well for the last couple of years anyway. Always liked their style, limited performance and ability to entertain along the little unclassified routes I like to bimble around.

Actually got a go on one the other week as I prised the keys from a friend of mine. The MT was just as I thought it would be, nice branch-snapping pop from the exhaust on the overrun too.

Although I was tempted, and I thought it was a better bike for my uses than my DRZ, I think it would be too rich for my wallet given for what I'd be using it for.

Nice bike mind, think I prefer it in red like yours.

I really like the 303, better scenery than taking the Motorway! Just the single lane bits are a pain, Not on a bike tho

Red and the white bits with the shape of the tank too looks really different. and boy did it vibrate at times

Just got in. Left my trusty aluminium box at 545 this morning and have just got back. OH and dog couldn't come so let the OH look after mad dog instead..
What a day.

Police bike chase ( it looked like that anyway) popped in on friends on the way back. got swarmed by what seemed to be a whole village when I stopped after stone henge offering me burgers and home made cakes....yadda yadda. Travel in London was great, would hate to be in a car there though...

Wanted to leave the bike and walk at times but just had to remind myself that it is not what Im used to. Will let you know more about bike when I get in from work 2mrw or something as tired and not really very polite to sit here on the laptop much longer...

Oh bloody hell mate, fair enough!

Yours looks nicer than the one(s) I was looking at aswell.

Well that's my mind made up, no option but to go private

Cheers,

Steve.

looks nice, what they like compared to the other thumper's

[Matt06]

I went the other way. MT-03 to R6.

Awesome bike though, really good handling. Defo a wheelie machine as well. I popped pretty decent ones quite a lot. Im no good at wheelies, but all you had to do on the MT was crack the throttle open in 1st.

Wouldn't get too excited about its offroad/crappy lane ability. Mine felt way heavier than the R6 and..... might actually be? Its no light supermoto though anyway.

Great bike, would of loved to have both but the R6 was where I wanted to go for the time being and had to sell for the MONIES.

Have fun.
