He's not only screwed the advert up, he's asking $4k too much for it.
Some people struggle with the concept that the "extras" they "add" to a bike do not enhance the intrisic value of the object by the amount of money they spent.

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Indeed. At best they make the difference between buying Bike A that has no added fruit and Bike B that does, all other things being equal, including price.Originally Posted by James Deuce
A "selling point" isn't the same thing as a "pricing point".
New tyres is an example. A bike with shagged rubber is worth exactly the same as ones that have just been ridden home from the shop.
Oh, and I really like the MT-01.

There was one at the local Yamaha dealer one day. It's an impressive lump but not really me. Well, to start with it isn't a Honda.
As I recall it required an equally impressive wedge of the folding stuff to buy it too...

That's not a Yamaha, it's a KTM in disguise. Look at the chain...

Yamaha should just produce the MT-OSThere's low mileage ones popping up on Tard Me in the low teens now. Price issue sorted!
Looks grouse with the fairing kit.

No, just ugly
When I was in the process of buying the Ducati the MT-01 was one of the bikes I would have considered if I'd missed out
I like them lots(pissy small fuel tank puts me off though)

On the topic of naked V-twins, what do think of the Shiver now that you have had it a while? Would you purchase the same again?

It is radical in every applicable sense of the word. I never said it was pretty...
Talk to Transalper - he knows where to get big plastic replacement tanks for motorcyclesWhen I was in the process of buying the Ducati the MT-01 was one of the bikes I would have considered if I'd missed out

I'm sure it'd look classic... not.

The TV collector.
I also think it would look hot with a FZ1 N headlight grafted onto it. The more angular lines of that headlight would suit the bike better IMHO.
needs to work harder
Except Öhlins?
Seriously. When it becomes spring again I shall look in the piggy bank and see if it's halfway plausible. It seems strange to me that a Street Triple R is 2k more than a "vanilla" triple, but that the combination of Öhlins and Mr Taylor's magic touch (oooeerrr) should be, I suspect, a shade over 3 for a clearly better ride (ooooerrr again).
And yeah, tyres. Only buy them if you're intending to hang on to the bike

Nope. Suspension upgrades add no value to the bike. It's a selling point.
Personally I'd rather buy a second hand bike with stock suspension, as after market bits are personalised to the nth degree for the previous rider. Unless the dude is the same weight and rides similarly to you, you'll be looking at at least spring changes front and rear for the after market gubbins to do their job properly.

If you can't afford the real thing and have loads of spare time and patience, yamaha offer a highly detailed paper version too:
