Yeah, not sure on this. Looks both hideous and interesting at the same time (though I never found the MT-09 to be pretty in the first place).

No thanks. Standard version is much nicer.

That's one ugly motorcycle. Is it at least cheaper than the original one? Thinking

It looks like they just removed the seat, stuck on one from a DT and called it a day.

Oh, and added about six inches of pipe to the exhaust.

So they've fitted number boards and a high level Akrapovic exhaust? I need to get into this "custom" bike industry.

I hope this isn't what was meant by using the MT-09 as a base for other models. I was kind of expecting a bit more time to lapse before seeing some proper new models built around that triple engine. As others have said, tacking on a coupla different bits wouldn't do it for me. Thumbs Down

I like it but I think the tank is a bit too big and out of proportion.

Saying that though, put a few number boards on a bike and I'm all over it Laughing

I like the looks. Hope they fixed the wonky throttle-by-wire system though.

The thing is, the dog is stupid and he, in fact, does not want any of that spiced meat. Thumbs Up

I like it. But what do I know,I've spent all morning looking at R1200RT tourers... Embarassed

So now I'm off to stand in the naughty corner now until I develop some taste.

personally i am not a fan of how the front looks on that bike at all, it looks squashed somehow. However, the reviews are good.

Looks pretty tasty in my opinion, I was looking at the PCP finance available but they seem to always limit to 6000 miles per annum. I do 3 times that Sad
