    They're brilliant mate honestly. In one week I've 95O running in kms; she's averaged 4.2 ltrs per 100 kms (about 70mpg) and now I've starting using her, she goes like the clappers.

    I've managed to pick up a brand new comfort seat for just over half the new price, now waiting for it to arrive.

    Next thing is some saucy pipes........................................................................

    I have no idea what you mean Stephen !

    However, you should be aware that in preparation for our next encounter , in the week before, I plan to be eating lots of : cabbage, lentils, baked beans - if you get my drift.

    The new comfort seat came yesterday and is now on the bike.

    The new "Saucy pipes' come tomorrow. They are coming from TEC bike parts. Apparently George has had loads of requests for a new full system to fit all the MT-07 versions including the tracer, so a couple of days ago we had a bit of a chat and as a result the new system should arrive and be installed this weekend.

    And it has a DB killer which is removable - so that be in the shed in storage by sat night !!!!!

    Here's what it looks like on the bike (roadster version, not mine) :

    Hope you enjoy! I roadtested one for a weekend prior to buying an MT09, but I found the chassis too flighty & nervous, really affected by crosswinds & lorry draught, so bought the MT, sold it within 12 months with same issues, just did not feel planted enough due to cheap suspension. You get what you pay for. Sorry just my experience. Lovely colour though
