Re: Same again. 🤔
The first time I saw an MT10 in a dealers is scared the crap out of me. It looked like it was about to stand up on its hind legs in attack mode. Hideous. Too many sharp bits.

Rev Fred had one for trackdays and hooning last year, IIRC he said it was great. I had a quick go on it and it was like riding a jet powered BMX.

Re: Same again. 🤔
Well...I've never heard " downsides " and " too fast " in the same sentence before. You can only ride as fast as the rode allows.

Yup, sometimes the road allows 140mph, the law has different ideas though.Dodgy knees wrote: Wed Dec 09, 2020 5:12 pm Well...I've never heard " downsides " and " too fast " in the same sentence before. You can only ride as fast as the rode allows.![]()

I prefer a quieter bike these days so the de-cat puts me off.

Re: Same again. 🤔
For me they are lie a lot of bikes, they look much better IRL. I parked next to one the other day and as I pulled up it really struck me with its looks. Proper stand out from other bikes look about it. Too expensive and too powerful for me, but if i had any money and riding talent, i'd have one in a heartbeat!

Re: Same again. 🤔
If riding talent was a requirement for bike ownership,there'd be a hell of a lot less bikes on the road! Folk buy bikes 'cause they want them and rightly so,who cares what others think.Taipan wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 10:41 am Too expensive and too powerful for me, but if i had any money and riding talent, i'd have one in a heartbeat!![]()

Re: Same again. 🤔
I'ma danger to myself on big bikes. Something to do with enthusiasm overtaking ability! So I tend to avoid buying them now having nearly embedded myself in immovable structures on previous big bikes!Skub wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 11:36 amIf riding talent was a requirement for bike ownership,there'd be a hell of a lot less bikes on the road!

Re: Same again. 🤔
I think I'm a bigger twat on a little bike,because momentum is precious and I'm reluctant to give it up.Taipan wrote: Thu Dec 10, 2020 12:23 pm I'ma danger to myself on big bikes.
