Soooo who's up for one? Apparently being released in OZ in the first quarter on 2016, gives you some time to save up the pennies and grow a beard

Saw this in the news the other week, it looks like another parts bin special.
Whoever signed off on the styling needs to look a bit closer at some of the custom cafe/bobber builds to see how to deal with the lack of side covers.
If it does make it to Oz I bet it will only have the LAMS approved engine.

I'll take your bet

Yep I reckon it will be full power, they are brining out the full power mt-07

I am interested to see the MT-07 tracer, thats where my money would be going, although the fly in the ointment is the MT09 tracer, looks to me a lot better suspension wise

Nope.

The MT range hits the mark perfectly, this is misproportioned & weird.

Yep as no can fit on the back of any bike i ride…..fat arse syndrome and being 190cm….. I'm very keen to see the bike as there is an option of a single seat and cool leather luggage etc.

and it will give me 6 months to grow a hipster bead

I like it, but prefer the MT-07

Fugly in my considered opinion - whoever styled it should be shot.

Huge fan of new cafe / bobber / brat bike scence, some people out there doing some really creative stuff with bikes and TBH some truly terrible crimes. But as they say different strokes for different strokes and anything that gets people interested in bikes and fettling them can only be a good thing

Totally agree its a fugly piece of work but then l think all the new mt's have horrible styling. Mt01's are ugly in a cool way though & I'd have one if I could afford to

Selling like hot cakes though, so perhaps a bit polarising

Yep, some people have their head so far up their own ass, they fail to see that they are looking at a turd not their tongue

I saw that before I bought my MT07...they really missed an opportunity to make:



which I would most definitely have waited for. That XSR is discusting...as is the personal creation of the "designer":

Now that's a beautiful looking replica racer in red and white but the other GTS/barbers chair looks like it missed the braking mark and took out the Armco .

I can see the idea, front a tad Duke 900SS, rear a tad Laverda Montjuic and / or Mad Max. So, the designer, would he be Japanese perchance?
