Thanks for the welcome everyone and comments. I take no offense 2 wheels, i know what your talking about. Everyone has there own opinions, likes and don't likes. I'm the same, there are bikes that look good to me where as others will find them ugly, and vice versa. I mainly like the naked looking bikes but they are very few of them around that's why I like the MT-01, it's got the naked look and very unique looking. I am now already in the hunt for another bike, I'm looking at the Suzuki B King, Yamaha VMax and Ducatti Diavel. But just looking for now;)

Thanks for the concern dt502001. But don't worry. It is my third year on this thing now. I actually wasn't looking for a bike of this size to begin with. I was mainly looking for a naked bike, and nothing over a 600 or if I got a good deal on a 750 then I'dgo for that too, but no bigger. Then I saw this beast in the window of my local Yamaha dealer and I fell in love with it. I had no intention in buying it, but just go in to see it and sit on it and drem a little. Then he told me the price and I had to buy it. The bike is actually a 2007, but I bought from the dealer in 2010, they shipped in 5 to New Brunsiwck that year and from what they told me they won't be able to get any more in, not sure why. Anywho the bike had "Zero" mileage on it, I even have the pics to prove it. And the best part, I only paid $9000 for it. As for your concern, I appreciate it, but I maybe a first time rider when I bought it, but I'm not a young kid either to just jump on it and see what thing can do. I'm more mature than that. I took the safety course and took it easy on the bike for the first couple of months and as time went by and when I got more comfortable on it I am having more and more fun with it. Especially leaning into in while going through traffic circles.

Hey all new to the forum, I was wondering if anyone else here has a MT-01 like myself and what they think of the bike. It was my first bike and I love it. So does pretty much anyone else who sees it. It's unique looking and the sound and power is intoxicating. That's my impression of it anyways. Also, since I'm having a hard time to find aftermarket parts and accessories for this bike. Anyone know of a good site/store. Especially someone that ships to Canada. Right now I'm looking for get a Rear spool stand, but not sure if it will fit my MT-01. Thanks all and ride safe. Afrowookie
