Gas up - Let's Go! Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 These things are a mad looking machine!!! Just noticed, the hand guards are the same as the Tenere's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye they are im going to get the wind gards for them because they are cheeper than heated grips and ye they do look good but i do want some akrapovics but they are £600 so a bit much lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I've got the wind spoilers on the Tenere, considering they are very small, they are very effective. You can pick up a set of Oxford Heated grips for anywhere between £30 and £80 on Fleabagbay, they are the best value for money and much better than some of the cheap on/off type grips you can get. Akrop's have a great sound and in all the times I've fitted them there is a marked improvement in power bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye i thorght about heated grips but its the front of my hands that get cold so i thorght will just go with wind shields and ye i have never been on a bike with them on but have been on some of my dads bike's with scorpion cans on (all race versions not road lol) the best sounding was his zx6r but his R6 just sounded winey and his fazer 1000 had a verry nice sound but sounded a bit to high pitched in my oppinion . i have a leo vince exhaust on my 50cc and its gone verry rusty would this hapen with there exhausts for the MT do you think ?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R6Ricky Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Nice bike mate I didnt think you could do the 3day course until you were 21? Or is it different if your just going for the 125cc test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barwell1992 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Nice bike mate I didnt think you could do the 3day course until you were 21? Or is it different if your just going for the 125cc test? Na you can do it but just a catogory A1 license i think all that enables me to do is ride any bike thats 33bhp or less so it needs to be restricted unfortunatly for 2 years but after those 2 years i can have any thing i also have to do a 125cc starter day just to make sure im good enough for the 3 day corse then and abviously if i pass my theory test.I think it was also somthing to do with me allready having my CBT as well for almoast a year. so i have a buissy month ahead (theory test 1st april, then tester day any time up till 13th april then 3 day traning from 13th april (15th latest) and then my test the weak later :S) all a bit daunting realy. and the MT is definatly a step up from a gilera DNA 50cc but did have a 250cc manual quad befor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont be too daunted by it all mate, im sure you will be fine, no diff from your 50;) MT is a nice bike, i fancy a test ride on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGirl Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Congratulations, mate She's a beauty!! I had an '06 model and can highly recommend the Arrow exhaust for the MT-03. Needs a Power Commander + K&N but boy, its worth it! It sounds awesome. Have fun and good luck for your test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barwell1992 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Chears both and ye but carnt aford the exhaust atm lol and i will be geting a new bike after my 2 year restriction any way ( posibly a Super duke 990) if i can aford one and the MT will be transferd over to my mums name. and i think its plenty power full enough for me atm (unrestricted) lol got the front up in second gear buy accident and my mum nearly had a heart attack but my dad was like now thats how its done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barwell1992 Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 looks great, how much is the insurance barwell? haha i hoped some on wouldent ask u will be horrifide well at this verry moment it will cost me £1600 fully comp with my mum on it as well with all the extras like break down helmet leathers legal help personal injury cover but in 2 month's time it comes down to £1100 with evory thing and with pillion use added on as well then after 6months i will be about £700 aparently so you could say its expensif but beats buying me a bike and my mum a bike then insuring my on my own (verry expensif) so all in all workes out about £1000 cheaper than me and mum having our own bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
