Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
I suspect he's casting aspersions on the looks of the new MT-09. Something like 'hit every branch of the ugly tree on the way down'...
Don't take it personally...

Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
The new headlight on the MT09 is awesome, got that Iron Man look! Lower bar position sounds promising, and I'm curious about what the SP version might offer, maybe electronic suspension like the MT10SP?

Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
I'll hold judgement till i see one in the flesh, next week probably. It does seem to be all about the headlight.

Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
I don't understand why the 'naked' styling is only applied to the front half of the bike. The high pillion seat and bit that sticks out to put the lights and number plate on is as ugly as ever.

Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
Fairingless I suppose... those number plate hangers do look shite and the promo pics usually leave off the plate. We all tidy the back ends, but that can cause wet riding problems.

Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
You think the 1998 R1 is the pinnacle of motorcycle design?
I owned one and it was very good for 1998, but the 2000 GSXR750 is a better bike, which was then bettered by something else etc.

Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
From an aesthetic point of view, obviously a sports bike from today would be measurable 'better' in a number of ways. The old ones look better tho'

Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
I've no doubt that current bike's are better products,but I don't like the style of the vast majority of them,in fact I'd call most of them ugly.

Re: New 2024 Yamaha MT09
I don't believe anyone doubts that bikes get more technologically advanced and 'better' year on year, it's just the styling that hit a high point in the 1990s (and being charitable, early 2000s) and (for the most part) has slowly declined since. But dynamically and by pretty much any metric you care to apply modern bikes are significantly 'better' than their 1990s counterparts.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 2:35 pmYou think the 1998 R1 is the pinnacle of motorcycle design?

It's just that most of the modern stuff looks a Bit Shit...

Don't be so defensive, old chap. I did say 'most'...
