Yamaha MT-01 - your views

[naughtygirl]

I was jst sitting at my deck staring at my all time fave bike the mighty Yamaha MT-01, and i was just wondering what people here thought about it?
My fave thing about it is those massive pipes (big pipes turn me on...GRRR ) and the sound...wow id love to hav that baby between my legs!

Iv added a few pics for people who dnt knw what the hell im talking about.

Ohh and also, it was voted New Zealand Bike of the year 2005

Have mixed thoughts on that bike, not to sure if I love it or hate it? I guess a test ride will make up my mind.

read a test in a mag recently.....reckoned it was poo to ride.
Not enough power and no revs but they loved the way it looks.
They were hoping it would go more like the V-Max of old.

The guy who just brought one of us, jst had after market pipes put on it. he says its gives it a heap more power, and it sounds way better.

I like it. Sawyers had one a wee while ago. Very big machine, ie tall.

The MT-0S is a better looking, though.

[Fishy]

Yep thats what their made for. Am looking forward to receiving my new pipe..6-10 days to go and counting!.

i've seen one on a test ride, had a chat to the guy and he started it..

I bet the bike has to go back to the shop every 1000k's to get all the nuts and bolts done back up! The thing just vibrates like hell!! Sounds good too. I bet chicks 'll love it..

Nice lookin beast too

Even if it was poo, i'd still have it. It would make you look real tough.....I'd have to bulk up a bit though first, you'd have to look like the american chopper guys before you could ride it.
So Naughtygirl, when you buying one? When you do we'd all like a test ride thanks

rode one and was highly dispointed. in the power from the motor, i was expecting something in the terms of ripping your arms off, the wifes vtr felt like it had more torque than it, it sounded, nice looked nice, handled well enough.

It might be fact they are choked from factory with exhusts and the such, and need that released before becoming the bike it should be
