Saw one of those in the Grey at  Matlock today, still not convinced about the styling but the rider got off with a big smile on his face.

Enjoy your new toy.  :afro:



Still not sure of the looks, but all the new naked bikes are a bit marmite,IMO.
It will go though, that's for sure.  :moto: :moto:

So did you get a QS?

You NEED one. Best £200 you'll ever spend. Clutch less is one thing. Full throttle shifting is something entirely better.
Significantly faster than you.....

no QS yet but once I've sold all the goodies from my FZ8 then maybe I might find it in my heart to buy one after the first service and I get my can fitted..

Well it's started already.  only had it since Friday. 

Done 200 miles already so excuse the dirt..... 

started like this..




Ended like this..




not 100% convinced on the carbon cover on the Akra but the OE guard does not fit..

anyway,  whole bike shots...






Enjoy..  I know I am.. 

Just R&G Aero bungs to fit when they arrive.. 

Also colour coded a few sliver bolts to black and the sprayed the oil cooler guard black to match the rad guard when it arrives. Subtle little things that make it a bit different from the standard. Still not seen another on the road yet..

Bar end mirrors are also on the list but as yet have not seen a pair that fit the bill and the fitting is different to the ones I had on the FZ8 so new it is when I find some bike specific ones I like.

Decat decat decat decat decat decat......

Fuck me it's ugly. The engine just about makes up for it.

Can looks fine with the carbon cover mate

yeah yeah...   

it's a beast in more ways than one..  have a ride on one if you haven't already..  you can have a spin on this one if we ever happen to meet up.

Very kind of you to offer.

I suspect I will try one at some point as the engine is sublime. Be interesting to see what it's like de-tuned for more mid range.

The curves I've seen compared to a full blown are a bit less than how I thought it would be........I expected more everywhere from the MT10 especially in the mid range.

Not good from Yamaha....strangled

If they gave it a full fat R1 motor they would probably never sell another 'flagship' R1.  Not good sense to have your bikes compete with each other.
