@@NEPALIRIDERSinCALIFORNIA yeah, they traded 40hp for a lot more torque. I've ridden an FJ-09, I cannot imagine how hard it'd be to keep the MT10 wheel down.
I just bought one and its quite manageable. You definitely ride it different to an mt09.. with wheelie control it stays planted but otherwise its up in the air whenever you want . Just gotta be sure youre certain when you open the taps :)
it is any different then any other bike out there trust me I have one its a pussy cat its the lowest rated hp in its class but it sounds impeccable and is a joy to ride
