Hairy Posted May 24, 2019 Share Okay Ill make it better They also have a ducatti scramblerKTM 1190BMW 1200 gsVstrom 1000Harley 883 blueTriumph Cruiser 1400Tiger 800 (what a bike)NC750MT07 And a whole bunch of Zontes. saw a red MT07 in the traffic the other day while waiting at the red light ... whatever pipes he had on this bike made is sound oh so dreamy ... so I showed him to gooi a little throttle ... what a sound ... anyway .... he pulls off at a medium speed, pulls up a near vert. wheelie, turns around and gives a thumbs up while riding away like that. he certainly did this with class, and slow speed and phenomenal skill. now the MT07's just simply look so sexy to me dirtypot, Wannabe, sawystertrance and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an aftermarket pipe fitted. Damn that thing sounds nice! Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted May 24, 2019 Share Nice looking bike but a bit more hp would have been more enjoyable. Nothing outrageous of course but about 115 hp, IMO! The reason too why I like the Thruxton 1200 R as opposed to the 900cc earlier one. The 1200 R has a bit of “get up and go”. (That is a pretty retro, especially with the fairing) Similar story to my versys, I love it... but now I want a 1200... i commute 50km one way and would prefer not to be ringing my versys all the way! well thats my excuse..

Allrounder Posted May 24, 2019 Share Indeed it sounds nice. They are getting a MT07 tracer tomorrow. But I would rather buy the 09 tracer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with my dakkie. it is a low rev torque monster. It rides the same even with an extra 50 kg on. All this is nice, but it does not sound or feel great at highway speeds the nerd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr33rider Posted May 24, 2019 Share Very pretty but it's still topped by the CBX. Imo of course. Actually, as I type this, I'm looking at your picture again and again and it just keeps getting better.Lol, I did my licence on a CBX1000.

Spokey Posted May 24, 2019 Share Indeed it sounds nice. They are getting a MT07 tracer tomorrow. But I would rather buy the 09 tracer. That MT09 engine is one of best engines I have used. I rode the regular MT 09 around Kyalami a few years back at the Bike Festival. Dream engine, great sound, great performance from that tripple. Another for my garage ha ha! That thing would be a hoot on Outeniqua Pass............errr, so would the Tracer really. Wannabe and BenReaper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously considering buying a big naked in a couple of years and the MT09 vs the GSX-S are currently on my short list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
