Just bought one ! @ 78/years on my clock I’ve downgraded myself from a Raptor 1000 & all the positive reviews on you tube have convinced me this is the bike for me ( sensible 🥴) If I had 5 grand I’d buy another Buell 900 city X but alas ……. Nice review matey,I can’t wait till Monday 🤪
Had one of these years ago and always regretted selling it. I've had numerous, much more powerful bikes since but always missed the playful character of the MT. So I finally gave in today and bought another one. It won't be ready to collect till Friday.....and that's why I'm watching videos of them now :))
After the Yamaha i get a Triumph Trident 660! After 1 year i go back to the MT 03 660 and let make a Vuj-GO Tuning ( Engine) and Baby it runs harder then the Triumph! Change the theet and runs 192 km/h GPS! Its enough for all now!
Hi mate, thanks for the review. Does the bike get through MOTs OK with the MIVV exhausts? How loud are they compared to the originals (they don't sound too loud on the vid)? Cheers
I'm planning on doing mostly normal roads and every so often a bit of highway riding. Is it manageable on the highway? I know single cylinders aren't ideal for the highway but I wanted to know if there's like big problems at those speeds like crazy shaking or something like that. I have a car now that isn't meant really for highway riding and it shakes a lot at those speeds, but it's still manageable so I don't really mind. So my question is a bit similar to that, not the most comfortable but still manageable so it isn't actually dangerous on the highway.
Hi sorry for the late reply.thanks for your comment.the Mt is not that bad to be fair it's good for 85 and sits nice at 70 75 . anything above 85 it starts to struggle a bit .this could be adjust a little with different gearing ie different front n rear sprockets.hope this helps.ride safe
