Test Ride
« on: 21 March 2009, 17:20:55 »
Took a 09 plate Yamaha XJ6 for a burn today, VERY nice bike, silky smooth inline 4, quite torquey as well, did not need to change gear that much, also very nice in town.

Well thats why i like the MT-03, it has a very upright riding position.

Sat on a Honda CBF500, hated the really small handle bars, also sat on a Bandit, that was better, but similar issues to the XJ6.

I like the 'fun' factor of the MT, the XJ was silky smooth compared with thumper MT, but i think it suited me more.

If i want to do anything long-haul i will take the Omega, i want something for the twistys. MT felt quicker off the line!

try a CB 1300 or as daz said a Gxer1400 , nice big bikes no more powerful than that 600 but shed loads of torque :y :y :y >The 1400 is a bit front heavy at low speeds it likes to tuck in ,dont know what the CB is like but all the tests rave about it .
