Maybe next time Paddy. I like the Street and I can get one next time I'm not trying to say this is a better bike.
It's just a different bike. Went out today with the wife on pillion for about 80 miles. Kept under 6000rpm
the whole time but it's easier for my inner child to take it steady when she's on board.
It's harder for me to behave when I'm on my own so I just sit behind cars and plod along. I've got 300 miles
done now. It's due and booked in for service in a week by then it will be run in. Oil change and then bam! I'll go and
crash it It really turned heads today for the first run out with the numbers on it. confirming my first thought.
They will be replaced with go faster stripes after the service. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Lovely bike, but ill be brutally honest... The ice hockey pad wind deflector thing on top of the headlight, is just wrong :p
Apart from that... I want one ____________________ Yamaha FZ8/Fazer800 (split headlight one) 2014, gingerly getting used to the massive increase in HP and not killing myself in the process! That was easy to get used to.

That's the cool thing, I can buy MT09 accesories and they'll fit. So I can quickly change the look. Am on the lookout for a screen
but there's no mega rush for that. Yesterdays jaunt (in throttle mode b) with the wife on the back has highlighted a
need for a rear grab rail and some slightly lower passenger footpegs. On todays solo run I thought I'd try out throttle mode a.
Blimey! I'll have to work my way up to that I think... It's like being fired out of a catapult.

Very nice. It's the only bike released in the last few years that makes me consider buying new. The previous bike that made me think that was the MT-03, massive Yam-fan here though and, like you say, it's not as common, I like slightly uncommon machines. ____________________ Current:1991 Honda MT50 (Soon to be a H100/MTX/MT5 hybrid), 1976 Honda Cub C70, 2005 Honda Varadero 125, 1993 Yamaha TTR250 Open Enduro , 2010 Road Legal Stomp YX140, 1994 Honda CRM 250 MK III, 1999 Cagiva Mito 125, 1992 Honda CB400 Super Four, Stomp T4 230, 1984 Honda H100s, 2009 Sym XS125K

Personally, I'll try another triple if someone exceeds 1 litre but keeps weight sensible. Until then, Street will be fine. |
I rode a striple r and was underwealmed too.
3rd gear power wheelies sound like awsome fun. Suspension doesn't need to work to be honest. It doesn't on my fz6 and I'm used to that.
When these get down to the £3k mark I think I'll chop my FZ6 in for one with all the gubbins on it. ____________________ CBT Passed: 30/08/2009, Theory Passed: 31/08/2010, Mod 1 Passed: 6/9/2010, Mod 2 Passed: 13/09/2010. Restriction ended 13/09/2012.

You wont power wheelie an MT in 3rd, you can't power a GSXR1000 in 3rd unless you are standing some massive cheddar on the back of the bike |

The sticker is the datatag etching transfer thing. I've left it on there as I'm not sure if the dealer has or hasn't done it yet?
The pointy finger was superimposed to hide the details on it, better edit done now. But yes it's doing my nut in and I'd like
to pull it off just as soon as I know they don't still need it for something. It's in on Monday for first service. I'll have
it dealt with then. Have 125 courtesy bike lined up
As for huge cat-

But this certainly doesn't have one of those.

Then all I have to do is find a tasteful bellypan that also fits around it.
But it's what will be going on there when I've recovered from paying for the bike. I paid cash plus my old bike
for the new one so I need to get a few paying jobs done before I'm flush again although there's a cheque in
the mail so to speak so some fun money top up coming soon. Will wire in my Garmin mount though, there's
a lovely empty space to the left of the instrument display. Be handy as I often get lost when I head off out into oblivion. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Today I will attempt to fit my Renntec grabrail. It's not pretty but I need somewhere solid to grab the bike while I'm
manhandling it up and down ramps and hauling it onto paddock stands in the shed. I'm pushed for space now there's
two bikes in there and there's nowhere proper to grab it at the back end. There's also sod all for pillion to grab either.
It's not a pretty thing I grant you but it seems well made and sturdy, the instructions are a bit difficult to follow but
I'm sure I can figure it out. Akrapovic should go on next week sometime. Also ordered upgrade headlamp
and sidelight bulbs to replace the OEM yellowy looking lot currently fitted. Tinkering season is upon us. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Grabrail abort. The numberplate holder has 4 welded in bolts that need drilling out to be replaced with longer ones
so the support plate for the rail can be bolted in. Sod it! I'd sooner buy an aftermarket tail tidy and see how I get on with
that before I start butchering the OEM parts. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

To be fair that Akrapovic pipe porn is too sexual to ignore so I'd spend the familys Christmas presents cash on it before its too late.
I'm being kept waiting begging on the edge for my new pipe which won't be done until March, balls! |
