Very nice, much vibey, cheap, wow

PR4 front and rear now, handles very well, all the right mods on it.

The pipes are extremely loud. Can't wait to deafen myself doing tunnel runs.

Front wheel is also quite eager to part company with the ground

[P.]

Y u do dis.

LIKE.

Bet that makes a fair old racket.

Getting any surging or weird fuelling shenanigans? One I rode was a bit weird. Probably par for the course big single stuff though. Good bike though, I liked that torquey power wotsit. Pulled really well upto 70. Seemed to top off a bit then, but was great coming out of corners. And going into them as well for that matter.

I had a go on one at the weekend. Want. No bloody bikes near me though. (The one I had a go on had 7k miles on, they wanted £3500 for it and it was prett scabby underneath).

I also had a go on a MT-07, that was interesting. Back to back they felt similarish, but the 03 has waaay better suspension, 'that noise' and a THUD in the back when you crack the right hand open.

Want.

Put it this way it way pretty much the loudest bike I have heard

Yea it has the surging thing but its a big single the characteristics of it mean if you treat the throttle as an on or off switch you will love it.

I got air yesterday 2up near box hill love it its hilarious fun.

2cylinder's too little for Paddy to be comfortable?

I really like the MT-03 and the MT-01 for that matter too! (If I saw the biggun for sale locally I'd be putting hand in pocket).

The only bit I don't like is the huge Carbon cannon sized can's, not enough Akrapovic Ti for me.

But can appreciate the sound will be pretty good though. Are you going to fit a K&N/Power commander to seek out any gains left in the XTZ lump?

Oh and the MT-03 does seem to be of far better build quality and style than the new 125/700/900 MT's. I wouldn't have an 07 or 09 over an 03 or 01.

[P.]

I wasn't a fan of the XT660X which shares the engine, its far too weak. However I asked why you did it when there are more punchy singles or ones that bite when you ham fist.

[wots]

Please, please, please don't ride it into the nearest tat supplier and have everything stick to it on the way out.

The B6 was not a looker with that stuff on it!

I'm liking the idea of a Pegaso Strada or Factory now too. God, I feel old, and unclean.

[P.]

[Ed Case]

Like the look o'that !.

It's the same engine as the XT. It's really lethargic in comparison to other 650 singles. What I would say though is compared to a ST, it's a 125 again welcome to swap and trade for a bit if wanted

[SQL]

Don't get me wrong, its asthmatic compared to the bandit but its more fun.

Still on A2 so can't ride the ST yet.

I've been looking at these - same problem as above, all the good ones are miles away
