Two of mates have them. One has had his since April ’14 and loves it. Its been to the Alps with me and was no trouble except for the seat – its hard! The other lad loves his but has done little mileage because the seats too hard!! MPG is awesome too – his 14 litre tank got him miles further than the 18 litre R1 tank…. He had the latest map on it and fitted an akrapovic which livened it up but cured the snatchy throttle. Great fun on the lanes too. I would have bought one myself but I think they are a bit ugly. If you like the looks, buy one and get a gel seat on the deal.

I've just test rode the MT09 Tracer and liked it better than the Street Triple which everyone rates. I want a do it all bike that's good fun and it ticks all the boxes, comfy too. Just ordered one. I have a 98 R1 but my old limbs can't do any distance on that. Don't know if I am struck on the Tracer's looks though.
Cheers Michael

The MT09 is a great bike and is far torquier than a street triple. Which is why I bought a speed triple.

I ended up with the Street Rally, have to say it's great, better now I have the updated map for the fuelling, torque is great and it makes me smile every time I ride it, just need the Akrapovic exhaust now but they are very expensive at the moment.

My mate has just ordered a tracer, it isn't the best looking bike in the world but it will suit him down to the ground. The price is great, it weighs nowt and puts out enough power, it is clearly multifunctional, I think its pitched perfectly.
