Dry roads Today

Post by Snev »

Thrashed the crap out of the MT09 for the first time and WOW, what a beast..... I know it's only a 900 but It's realy light at @170 KG's ( took some heavy bits off ) and the full Akrapovic and Race Filter have made such a difference...... even had a 4th gear wheelie............ Can't really convey the feelling but having ridden the Z900 for the past two weeks, the Torque of the MT makes the Z feel like a 250...... Loving the Quick Shifter too, it's great up and down...... and it Pops and Bangs !!!! not missing the ZZR1400 at all now but it had a genuine 200 BHP with @ 260 KG's compared to @ 120 BHP and @170 KG's so the power to weight ratio and the gearing make the MT a far better road bike in all honesty...... never thought I'd say that !!!!
Ok, I confess.......

I always fancied one of those, until i compared the mt seat with the fazer seat 😄😄

Zzr's (and busas) are amazing bikes, but i recon any decent 900 is much better for on the road. More opportunities for fun 😁
If it ain't fun, don't do it

It's probably just me and the fact that it fits me so well and does everything I actually need..... Probably not for everyone but when you Jell with a bike so well, it's hard to find fault.... this 3 generation bike is a whole leap ahead of my 2013 bike and you all know how much I banged on about that one !!!!!!!!..... Tomorrow it's pissing down so my one job in Street will be in the Tranny..... next week looks to be a mixed bag but I hope to get out on the Z again..... The 2007 Fazer I had for a week was a great bike to sit on and the power was brilliant but that particular bike had really shocking Fuelling/throttle response which put me off........ It was fixed shortly after and i still think it would have been in my garage if I hadn't had such a bad one........ The Fazer and MT are very similar in all other respects....
Ok, I confess.......

Isn't it great when you find a bike you really enjoy?
I can't wait to get back on my favourite bike. I really like the Kawasaki but it's a completely different ride to the Striple.
