Boogie92801 Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I know these are now available in Canada, does tht mean I can get one in the states? What is the general impression here? Oh and hello I am new the forum; not an owner today but ....
stuee-s Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Hi I don't know if there coming to the states but if they do you must get turns heads in spades and buying the extras for thes should be cheap for you as engine is based on the wildstar..... Bonkers torque aswell will beat most sports bikes from the lights with a 155nm of torque as standard and with the yamaha cans loud as hell. I do know that here in the UK we have a different version to the rest of Europe as we still run the 2005 model and Europe have an updated model (colours mainly but also with six pot calipers same as 2007 R1 Cheers STU
Oly Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 We didn't get the XV1700 Warrior so it's only fair that you guy's don't get the MT-01.

Guest Tantalus Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Should try riding one not listening to what the sportbike riding journos write in there in there sports bike mags. I concurr. If he had broader sense of adventure and had done a more comprehensive internet search it would have revealed some very good reviews from a great deal of 'suprised' journos. One of the 'Bike' magazine journos recently commented about how much he missed his MT01 from last year and I can't be bothered to post links to all the great reviews because he wouldn't be interested anyway... It is most certainly a totally different style of riding to your normal sports bike and takes a hell of a lot of getting used to. You certainly don't have to play 'gearbox tennis' around the twisties like on a pocket-rocket, it's just a matter of rolling-on and rolling off, using the massive V-twin to the best of it's ability. I am still on a steep learning curve with mine, especially having come from a Honda 'Sixer', where it was all about the correct gears etc etc. I only wished I'd done my advanced cornering techniques course on this instead of the Honda; maybe then I wouldn't be such a 'fearty'...
