always wanted a go on one of those .
you'll notice a big difference with 14 still loads of torque but sooo much smoother  :cheers:

Don't part with the MT - you'll be sorry.
I've got an MT as well as a 14.
NOTHING stimulates the biking senses like an MT.
They shake, they vibrate and they run smooth as well.
On top of that are the power pulses and gobs of torque.
I get all tingly as soon as it fires up.
Keep it.

That looks immaculate Speedy, BJ's right, keep it, if it's an option.

Wow, if that had two usable seats I'd swap it for my 14, no problem but have tried an MT and my wife don't like the rear seat.

I'm not selling my 14 for anything, but I do like that.  Bit bright colourwise though...

That's a Brute of a machine & looks immaculate. Keep it if you can & sell a child if you have one  ;)

Yep that MT 01 is certainly a head turner.  :drool:

 :devil: :devil: They were the business when they came out. I had a ride on one and couldn't get used to the weight transfer when you backed off and down shifted at tip in, all the motor weight rolled forward and made front end load up and drive sooner than turn in. I think it's why I went with my GSX  :clapping: :clapping:
