It’s a tall rounder .
What kind of Adventure style bike would you like Yamaha to make?
- Thread starter longdog
- Start date
Yamaha (and me) disagree.
Like having five valves per cylinder when everyone else got by perfectly well on using four?
Or making a hub centre steered front end on a model that didn't sell ?
Ok, so you wished Yamaha produced a ‘ Tall rounder ‘ .
What’s a tall rounder in your book ?
The whole MT09 range of bikes not only share an engine they are all f****** hideous to look at. Great bikes by all account but I couldn't bring myself to put one in the garage.
I know what you're saying. If it was a woman, my MT09SP would probably come under the "challenging wank" category. It is does have a "nice personality" though if you like a challenge. Since purchase, I have come to admire it's looks a lot. I don't think I could ever love the Tracer 9. The 7 is a bit better.
Perhaps pretty much all Japanese bikes look weird to oldies, Kawasaki Z900RS aside? The non retro Z900 looks like a tube of toothpaste squeezed by a maniac IMO.
Actually I was looking at an MT09SP in Tenerife last year, the latest facelift, and I did think it looked quite nice in blue so I am maybe being a bit harshI know what you're saying.

Ok, I see where you’re coming from .
A Tenere 900 World Raid would be good but probably silly money
I'm amazed they've not already made something like that.
