DeBenGuzzi Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 had a test ride today on a yamaha MT-01 . 1700cc of pure grunt. i was quite impressed a big vtwin but little to none vibration,handled well good suspension and a very comfortable ride position. fitted with remus aftermaket exhaust system it had an awesome sound and you don't need to use many revs redlined 5500 but you don't need over 4000 so if yas get the oppertunity try the beast. 91994[/snapback] bike did a comparo of this and the super duek awhile back, they liked the MT well enough but said it was lunky heavy and over priced, they did say it handled well for what it was but were really impressed with the SupaDuke besides the 75mi tank range. I'd be fine with that tho. I usually only go 100mi in a sitting, I'll doo 300 miles in a day sometimes but not at once. I know not much but I want it to be fun not work to show off how many miles I did today

beauchemin Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 A motor that doesn't rev won't be much fun on a motorcycle.
dlaing Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 A motor that doesn't rev won't be much fun on a motorcycle. 92150[/snapback] I have never tried a torquey bike like this, but I prefer the less revvvy Guzzi to a Ducati. I like the idea of more power at lower revs, but I also like the exhileration of the power increasing as the revs increase, which the mt01 may be lacking. much better exhaust than a Griso, but other-wise the Griso was spared some of the ugly stick bashing...I like them both
g.forrest Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 "No i dont use japanese industrial products because i think they are made by wery limited people.There favorite sport is to fight and when it is time to eat they sit on the floor and eat raw fish.When they drink alcohol they dont use it as cool as possible as in civilised countries...no y¨they heat it up and it is considered good manners to slurp when they drink it.All there industrial development is by copying and stealing civilised countries technology.Ewen the Swedish wikings thousands of years ago where more civilised.When it was time to eat for them they sat on chairs and coocked there food :-)" 92001[/snapback]
g.forrest Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 can't go along with that. A motor that doesn't rev won't be much fun on a motorcycle. 92150[/snapback]
dlaing Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 "No i dont use japanese industrial products because i think they are made by uuery limited people.There favorite sport is to fight and when it is time to eat they sit on the floor and eat raw fish.When they drink alcohol they dont use it as cool as possible as in civilised countries...no y¨they heat it up and it is considered good manners to slurp uuhen they drink it.All there industrial development is by copying and stealing civilised countries technology.Euuen the Swedish uuikings thousands of years ago where more civilised.When it was time to eat for them they sat on chairs and coocked there food :-)" 92001[/snapback] Maybe if we me make racist comments about all the Motorcycle Making Nations, I won't get tied in a knot. So how about: No i dont use Suuedish industrial products because i think they are made by wery limited people. For example there is this story about, "the swede who was building himself a house. One of his friends came by and asked why the heck he threw away every second nail? "They have the nail-head in the wrong end", the man replied. His friend became furious with him and shouted, "How stupid can you get? Don't you realize that those nails were made to be used on the other side of the house???" Can't believe I wasted $2000 on a pair of Ohlins forks...the darn things are upside down Or how about: No i dont use british industrial products because i think they are made by wery limited people.There favorite sport is walking to and from the pub. When it is time to eat they have the worse cuisine in all of Europe.When they drink beer they dont use it as cool as possible as in civilised countries...no y¨they serve it at room temperature and it is considered good manners to be loud and obnoxious when they drink it.All there industrial development is sent overseas to countries where they can exploit people.Ewen the Suuedish wikings thousands of years ago paid fair wages for the makers of imported goods. Or how about: No i dont use Italian industrial products because i think they are made by wery limited people.There favorite sport is football and they always lose the World Cup.When they drink beer, it is crap...They should stick to wine and al dente pasta. All there industrial development is twenty years behind civilised countries technology.Ewen the Swiss watchmakers are more technically evolved!!! You won't catch me on one of their Moto Mussolinis!!! But atleast they have good food :-) Or how about: No i dont use Amårican industrial products, especially the Harley's that Nog likes that suck compared to the MT-01, because i think the Harleys are made by very limited people.There favorite sport is watching "NFL Football" and when it is time to eat they microwave their dinners, pop open a PBR(Pseudo Beer Rinse), that is only palatable with large amounts of salted junk food.they drink the PBR as cool as possible so they can't taste it...It is considered good manners to blast their Rush Limbaugh AM radio shows over their picket fences. All there industrial development is protected by armies of lawyers as is "their" oil in Persia that is protected by armies of brutal corporate thugs.Ewen the Swedish wikings thousands of years ago where more civilised. Anymore to add? How about Deutschland,France,Netherlands,Canada?
g.forrest Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 those damn swedes stole the concept of a motorised saw from the germans.produced a car called volvo which was the most feared thing on the road by motorcyclists for many years [pre camry] have never produced a descent road bike only dirt squirts that self destruct and can't win world titles. the're so backward they still have a monarchy! and there most famed contemporary resident [ghost rider] rode suzukis. and whats a husk-varna.
dlaing Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 and whats a husk-varna. 92168[/snapback] Så Vidt Jeg Husker(As far as I can remember) it is a chain saw with springs, wheels and handlebars, but it might be a band from Minnesota? Or is that husker-doodoo?

g.forrest Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 HAH? Why is it that Political Correctness is always in inverse proportion to humour and logic and direct proportion to victimhood and psychological insecurity? 92179[/snapback]
Skeeve Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 and whats a husk-varna. 92168[/snapback] An Husqvarna is a "small ring" Mauser bolt-action rifle built under license, chambered for the 6.5mm Swedish cartridge. Slick shooters, and more accurate at 1000yds w/ 139gr SP than an M1a/M14 shooting 308Win 150gr ball [due to the 6.5Swede still being supersonic at that range, while the 308 bobo* has fallen to transsonic speeds...] Any other questions? * - technical term used by all the top-notch ballisticians. Really. You can trust me, I'm not like the rest! We're from the government & we're here to help...
Skeeve Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Why is it that Political Correctness is always in inverse proportion to humour and logic and direct proportion to victimhood and psychological insecurity? 92179[/snapback] 'Cause the poor, politically incorrect schlubs had parents who loved'em enough to beat them when they did wrong as children, inculcating the facts that life is filled with pain, so laugh when you can. The Politically Correct, however, had passive, uncaring parents who relied upon the school systems to raise their kids for them, so got lots of timeouts & never learned that sometime living life is worth the licking you'll get later... Anyway, that's my philosophy & I'm sticking with it!
