New MT01 owner / Member - hello all:)

Hello,
Just introducing myself as a new owner / member, just
purchased a 2005 MT01 with stage 2 / titanium Akrapovic full
exhaust. not ridden her yet but expecting a relaxed torquey ride
with flat power band & mediocre handling? Am I anywhere near the
mark? (my other bike is a BMW R1200GS water cooled boxer twin)

Hi Macca , I also have a R1200GS LC. I love it. Does everything
good but is very bland compared to the MT. The MT is a beast
with tons of character. You'll find the handling is surprisingly
good for such a lump of a motor but nowhere near the GS. The
boxer is light with a low C of G and corners like on rails. I
love them both just in different ways. Ohh ... and my wife
refuses to go on the MT ... another big plus sometimes.

Hi
Thanks for your comments, I am looking forward to experiencing
the character of the MT01

Welcome. Nice bike, you're lucky to have picked one up with the
full Akro - pretty rare.
