Thanks for sharing. All across the board, I've been hearing the MT-07 maintenance is pretty OK considering it's a bigger CC bike. And riding it in my school has given me a feel of what this bike can do. I'm starting to get why they call it the 'Master of Torque'. Hahah

By the way, I think everyone has their own definition of 'ride fast' la. For me, even 110km/h is considered fast but that's coming from a 'greenhorn' rider 

The chap who sold me my current bike did tell me, he's giving me 6 months at most and I'll start to realize the difference between a 250cc and the bigger CCs. With my current bike, I'm going up and down my gears but at the driving school, sad to say I've only needed to stay on 1st gear most times on the MT07. He further added, one year at most, I'll be looking to upgrade. Hahah, which is kinda true..

Already looking at bikes to move up to and the few in my shortlist. 2nd Hand of course...
- MT07 V1
- Z900
- TNT 600

The MT07 still cost quite a fair bit on the second hand market even though it's quite an old bike with no ABS which is quite surprising. Don't understand why I should spend a chunk more money on the MT-07 when the Z900 could be had for a few thousand more and it comes with ABS as standard. The MT07 is light though, I'll give it that...

Oh well, guess I still have a few months more to go before deciding. Hopefully by mid year, the 2nd hand market will be a bit more reasonable..

(By the way, I've managed to cross the 'Titi' consistently thanks to all your tips, kawans  . How I just gotta nail it when I finally go for my JPJ exam. Hahah)

Thanks for sharing. Definitely like that the Z900 is lighter than the Z800 and more powerful. Just that it's a bit over what I'm prepared to pay for a bike unfortunately. But we'll see how it goes.

The z800 feels like a beast when stationary and when it needs to be push it around. And somehow, I don't feel as steady / stable even when I can flat foot the bike. Dunno it's due to the weight or weight distribution, but yea, that's just me. I'm a greenhorn though.

In terms of weight, the MT07 is perfect and the power itself is just enough for me. But you're right, NO ABS and the engine sound seems a bit of a bummer though. I like a 'bassy, thumpy' note to the exhaust note. Understated but enough to rattle my soul. Hahah
