12k miles done, best bike I have ever owned. 88hp may seem weedy but somehow it keeps up with all the crazy screaming sports bikes in the real world without the stress and anxiety. Why? torque, 100ft/lb pretty much everywhere - you are gone before the others have cogged down.
Tours brilliantly: add a screen and it is all day comfy with the relaxing low revs. Stick it in top gear and leave it there.
Pop in some high compression pistons and a power commander and you have 110hp/115ftlb which transforms it to whole new level of urgency that is worth every penny.
I like to think of my MT-01 as a GS with attitude and style.
