    I rode one recently and you are right, it has a LOT of bang for the buck. I would have liked a little more power, but it is so smooth and the quick shifter is so good, its still a great bike. I too found that the front end is a little light. Towards the end of my 1/2 day ride, I started really leaning forward to get some more weight on the front tire while turning and it made a HUGE difference. It really started carving through the turns better and leaned over more. I think it only weighs about 420 lbs, so yes, very light and very "flickable".

    Hi chopsy, test rode one of these when they first came out. I was on a vfr at the time. Rode it back to back with a used tuono twin. I didn’t like it except the engine which was a veritable beast. So infectious blasting rolling off blasting rolling off. Totally intoxicating but felt rest of bike didn’t match. Back to a 650 now but at 64 a good idea. The cp3 has got to be best engine ever. Wondered why other manufacturers haven’t joined in. I think your point about useable exciting thrust at road speeds is the most contributory factor to riding on the road not the outright hp. Bikes that go from low rpm are the best imo for the road at least. For me pleeeeeeze give me twin clocks. Old fashioned but they just look the dogs

  • @DucatiDale
    @DucatiDale Рік тому

    Told you you’d like it 😂 only downsides I have are slightly wooden brakes but more than enough really and a poor turning circle
    As for the fuel gauge you just reset trip 2 when you fill up then fill up again around 100-130 miles
    Or wait until it flashes then you have 15-20 miles left
    For making quick progress on British roads there’s not much better

I did think about trying the MT-09 SP, but it was a bit outside my budget sadly.

    I'm in the minority but I sold my 21 SP. I didn't like it.
    Even in the video you can see how flat the engine is below 5000 rpm. It's a fast naked bike you have to rev and by time you have revved it you're reaching speeds where due to the riding position the wind is trying to push you off of the bike. Feels like a confused bike in that respect.
    I feel like coating finish on them is really cheap, on mine after 8000 there is white bits, I guess oxodistation? On the raw aluminium swing arm, looks to be under the lacquer, the engine cases also have that white stuff on them, the couple of Tracer 9 I view before buying the MT were even worse.
    I changed to an full Akra and the nuts were rusted to the studs, all the brackets for the radiator were rusty the only things that didn't show any weathering was the wheels.
    To me the bike is a P.O.S
    My other bike is a Triumph with 20k on it and it's all stainless fittings, hardly any rust on it what so ever. Yamaha just cheaped out.

    I'd even go as fas to say that the MT-09SP is the epitomy of refined fun. I'm saying this after trying the KTM, the BMW and the Triumph.
    I initially didn't want to like the MT-09 as I'd convinced myself that a 4.3in TFT was too small. But after being on the Triumph and re-trying an MT-09, I was staggered about how legible everything is on the Yam, even with the smaller TFT. The Triumph in comparison is just a mess.

The triple engine is immediately more fun on the road than a 600 screamer. Much more comfortable and miles easier when it comes to slow speed stuff (the R6 is a boat in comparison). I’d say test ride both as your taste may differ but the difference is night and day for me, and this is coming from someone that’s lusted over sport bikes for around 20 years and gave that life up after a year of it!

      Double update as I just realised my old post was about my OLD R6. I traded that 2003 R6 for a 2019 R6 in May. The new bike was much more crisp and refined but also less comfortable as it was even more track focused. So after 2 months on a modern sport bike I gave that life up 😂 just far too taxing on the body for any longer than 30-60 minutes to be fun rather than an endurance.

But my net one will possibly be a KTM or Triumph. Yes I don’t like the fuel gauge and the tank capacity also the high beam flasher is not easy to hold on.
