I see your point! CC would be nice to have, but for the price, i really didn’t expect it to have all the electronics it already does 😄

You've already got one on order?? Hope it comes soon!

Cheers! Trying to keep it as honest as possible :)

I thought so too! But in another world, couldn't these co-exist? since the price point is so "different" I guess they would have to?

It gets to 170 km/h pretty quickly but past that you can really feel the naked bike drag showing things down.

That’s awesome! Have you tested the gsx-8s? 😀

Yup! From lillebror actually😁

@@Vintaermedia Niiice!

Awesome, thank you! I think our climate would be pretty similar, yeah 💪

Its been raining here and chilly all weekend. Reminds me of europe lol

Oh wow are they really strict over seas with test rides? that's odd..

The Honda dealer gave me 20 mins. Says that on the waiver. I took 30 mins but never got out of traffic. Same for thr local Triumph BMW dealer. The Suzuki dealers both say go for a ride take your time.

Why buy a bike that you feel the need to change all the stock parts out!!! You're sounding the glock fan boys on gun websites!!

@@Doyle-nu5el Are you asking a sincere question or are you telling me a question?

@@exothermal.sprocket Why buy something just to change out all the stock parts. Thought I was pretty clear.

@@Doyle-nu5el People often frame an accusation in a question. That's why I wanted to clarify. There's a lot of great reasons why people want to modify factory bikes. I've owned a dozen bikes myself, one at a time. I've ridden well over 60 various bikes from all genres on demo rides. My career is mechanical engineering. So from these perspectives and experience, I prefer to remove regulation equipment which stops factory bikes from being what I like, which is a good sound, better suspension, better functioning brakes, better tires, and so on. The thing you cannot change is the basic character of an engine. If you like an engine a lot, you would buy the bike in spite of other shortcomings which can be changed over time as money allows. I've had 70 horsepower bikes and 150 horsepower bikes. I've also tried a Hayabusa and superbike on a demo. I'm not unfamiliar with a lot of horsepower but that's not my main thing. I don't need crazy power. I prefer other sensations on a bike too, other than sheer acceleration.

8s 🙌

You got it! More to come 🙌

Hey! That's right, born and raised a potato! oh is it that cold up north still?? I'm going on a trip soon...

Wow thats a really dissapointing piece of info lmao Good thing the hornet does not do that.

Fun bike!

Thank you! It’s been a while since I’ve ridden an MT-09, but if my memory serves me right, the 09 definitely feels like it has more torque, across all ranges. To bring ip an example I could easily power-wheelie the mt09 in 2nd gear. The gsx-8s did not do this as easy.

Since you are basing your reply on the ability to wheelie You must not realize that the 09 has a shorter wheelbase, lighter weight, and possibly a softer shock. Making weight transfer come into play more. BTW: You kept on calling it “a little bike”, a real turn off for me. I don’t understand all these reviewers that act like a modern middleweight is a beginner bike. Wether you realize it or not, it’s derogatory, and makes it sound like the bike is so far below your skill level. Aside from the “little bike” thing, I enjoyed your review, but would have liked to see you hit some twisties in anger on it.

@@sugarandt Hmm a lot of good input, thank you! Now when it comes to the MT09 I'm refering to the feeling of it, and I standy by that the MT09 feels more torqy and playful engine-wise. What you say about the wheelbase and whatnot mey very much be what I'm feeling, so thanks for clearing that up! I didn't know that calling it a "little bike" could have that effect, but I totally understand it! I'll try to rephrase it in future videos. What I really mean is that I enjoy the bikes easy-handeling, making it a great option for riding in the city and not just on backcountry roads. I do not enjoy heavy bikes like a 1000cc supersport if it makes me nervous when i'm going slow. But I really appreciate your input, and will try to improve! :)

The MT09 is in a different league

I imagine so, I’ve owned 3 FZ/MT-09’s, and still own an FZ-07. I love parallel twins.

Takk! Jeg prøvde den faktisk i fjor en liten svipptur, men ikke lenge nok til å lage en video. Kanskje jeg får testet en om ikke alt for lenge? 🤔

Gsx-8s

🛵💨

I feel you!

I´m afraid I fail to see your point? Do you watch reviews only to see one opinion?

Did we watch the same review? What does him owning an Aprillia have to do with anything? He gave this bike an honest and overall optimistic review, I’m also a little unsure where you are coming from… it’s an entry level middleweight bike, it’s not going to be perfect…

What's your point? This wasn't a negative review, at all. Saying the blipper and brakes aren't 100% perfect but the bike is fun and overall a good package seems pretty reasonable.
