Some twisty stages become wonderful special stages. It is reassuring to know that you don't need a GSX-R 1000 for 15,000 euros to have a good time in the Winkelwerk. There was a lot of shifting, late braking and early acceleration. It was just a nice little race among friends.

Good workmanship

clean engine tuning

plenty of power

spring preload and rebound adjustable

positive chassis.

If you take a look at the key data of the MT-09, including its over-complete standard equipment, "mid-range naked bike" almost sounds a little pejorative. The Japanese engineers have made improvements exactly where they were needed. The swaying chassis is now a thing of the past and the load change reactions have also been eliminated from the revised three-cylinder engine. The additional power paired with a little more pressure in the mid-range gives a sovereign riding feeling. The MT-09 offers a lot of equipment and enormous riding pleasure at a very attractive price.
