[MT-01]

anyone got a mt-01, i,m thinking of trading my xjr and getting one, what is the ride like

Hi Trashman. Yep. I've just got myself a beast of a MT-01! Only done 60 odd miles so still getting used to it. Previously rode a Honda CBF1000. On the MT I found myself carrying too much speed into sharp corners and put this down to the deceptive sound of the motor - like it was ticking over when I'm doing 50mph! Lovely to ride, with great balance in traffic and holds good line through long bends. Not too sure about the Metzeler tyres - think they need a good scrub in before sticking it hard into corners. It's only 20kg heavier than my Honda and doesn't feel it. Doesn't 'flick' quite as easily but hey - give me a few more miles!! Hope you enjoy yours - when you get it.

I recently purchased a v-star650 custom 2003, joining a club/forum is always a great way to get info on bike and research troubles, if any. I see alot of posts from the UK, is this site originated in the UK? or have i missed something in my settings.

Welcome to the club. Certainly plenty to browse through. I think it's a UK originated club but it doesn't really matter. Where are you from 03v?

Hi Dave,

Welcome to Yamaha Owners Club.

I do not have an MT but good luck and have fun, I have a little YBR 125. Lovely bike.

Hi Emma. Thanks for the welcome. I'm certainly enjoying the bike and taking time to get the feel of it. I like your quote! That makes sense to me.

[Good Bike Insurance Site!]

I have just done an insurance quote with the above site. I was very shockd with the results which has made me keep with MC Edwards. The reults were:

Here are the most competitive THIRD PARTY FIRE & THEFT annual premiums we could find for you. (YAMAHA YBR-125 - 124CC)

Premium Insurer Excess

£371.66 Equity Red Star £150 Policy Summary Start Cover

£490.54 Highway Insurance Co Ltd. £250 Policy Summary Start Cover

£563.96 Zenith Insurance plc £500 Policy Summary Start Cover

However as i mentioned above my insurance with MC Edwards is £215.00 a year which compared to these is much better and cheaper.

If anyone would like to get an insurance quote from them their number is 08700101125, if you do let me know if it works out cheaper for you.

Interesting posts - and thanks all for the info. Sometimes I don't understand insurance! I have just replaced a Honda CBF1000F with my Yam. MT-01. Eagle Star wanted an additional £175. Why? The Honda is 20 kg lighter, faster top speed, quicker 0-6omph but worth £1000 less. Doesn't make sense to me. Any experts out there who can explain the grouping system?

[Hallo!]

I joined the club yesterday and then posted an intro in the wrong place! Typical! Nobody will see it in the middle of Street bikes and stuff. Hi everyone. I pick up my new MT-01 today and am sitting here full of excitement and a fair bit of trepidation! Anyone else out there with an MT and can give any advice - other than hang on tight?!!
