Some more detail:

2005 20,000 km on clock.
Tops out at about 225- 230 depending on wind.
0-100 +_ 3.7 sec
Claimed 90HP @155Nm torque.

Was recently bumped off in traffic by a Golf TDI.

Superb ride if you do not want 300km/h plus.

If you are still enjoying her, then keep her. They are nice bikes, rode one once, but found I was too light for the bike, that motor shaked the hell out of me.

I only change my bikes when I get onto her and the excitement has left.

Hi Crashappy,
Still enjoy riding the beast, but after my bump off, wife is getting very antsy about it.

I haven't found the bike to be a mass of vibration though. There is a gentle rocking when idling but this has been designed into the bike.
Yamaha calles it the KODO (Japanese noun that can mean soul beat, pulsation, or the external expression of latent power) effect.

Once you are moving it is very smooth. I weigh about 105kg so maybe thats why I don't feel excess vibration.

After carefull consideration, I have decided to advise you to sell it at about R100.00 TO ME!!!!

The MT-01 puts a massive high-tech, air-cooled 1,670cc V-twin engine in a minimalist aluminium sports frame – it's a sports riding revolution. This is a huge torque machine that can knife through the turns.

This, then, is 'torque sports': a massive engine in a nimble frame, with an exhaust note to invigorate the spirit and a sculpted style to stop the traffic.

keep because if you sell - it will be horrendously expensive to get back into riding when the bug bites again, unless of course you need the cash.
