I am so glad that, possibly the last bike I rode, was the MT. That really is going out on a high! 8-) :thumbup:

Well, its gone. I rode it 75 miles to part exchange it for the Tmax and nearly enjoyed every mile. They are an epic bike with amazing, instant grunt and with its wide bars it felt like i was on a big supermoto. Sadly the ride confirmed i cant ride this as gear changing gets increasingly painful, but it was great to have a last ride. I did ride alike a twat though and all things considered, the bikes power far outstrips my riding talent, so maybe its going is a good thing as I may well have ended up throwing it and me at the scenery! :?

Without a doubt the best bike I've ever owned. :thumbup:

Just found this in the loft-of-plenty! I remember buying it for my MT09 and then not fitting it as I had to sell the bike. It’s second hand but as you can see like new. Any idea on what I should put it up for sale for?

Money, always go for money unless you're open to a barter

As I'm in love with my Africa Twin and I probably wont (comfortably) ride a manual bike again, I gave in and sold the comfort seat and black widow system I was holding onto until I got another MT. Still, the MT09 was an absolute cracking bike and up there as one of my favourites! :thumbup:
