I'm not a fan of that colour scheme. The blue forks look a bit tacky to me.

Not sure I like the sound of the TC kicking in all the time. Guess I'll have to wait for the reviews. I presume other journos are out there as well.

That's a promising review.

I hadn't realised that the MT-09 was so popular. As the article says, at those prices the entire MT-09 range is excellent value for money.
