The Z might get replaced...

First topic message reminder :

... by a Yamaha!  

I've had my Z750 from new since 2004 and it has never let me down. I really enjoyed every ride on it and always thought I'd keep it forever.

But now Mr Yamaha thought he'd make this new MT-09 and I just had to try it out.
Just came back from a cold but dry test-ride and I'm still grinning!

Here some pics of the bike I rode...

It's great fun and the sound of the 3-cylinder is amazing, even with the standard can. And it's got a "Mode" button! "A", "Standard" and "B"... On "A" it basically wheelies by itself  and to be honest I found "B" most comfortable...  

I'd want to get it in "Race Blu" with ABS... like this:

Delivery would probably be in February or March.

Now the trade-in offered for mine isn't as much as I was hoping but he did drop the MT's price a bit so I've still not quite decided...

What do you guys think? Should I change bikes?

I likes that, I run my Z in all in one day & returned it the following day for its first service.... One of my best biking days for sure ;-)

Tasty! Good luck with the running in and first service

Gorgeous bikes!
