WORDS : BENJAMIN J KUBAS CRONIN PICS: YAMAHA
One thing that always garners sympathy from us here at FB is when a biker has just bought his pride and joy, and then mere months later a manufacturer releases an even better version. We understand a rider’s pain, and hear the groans often enough, but at the same time that is just the way of things in this ever fluid world – things always move forwards.
And so it is with the latest incarnation of Yamaha’s nutty MT-09. This time round there’s a few more updates than just the addition of traction control, and it would appear that the factory listened to feedback from punters on where to take the bike next.
