Hi everyone
I'd pretty much reached the conclusion that the MT-10 was the bike for me but the more I think about it, I'm not so sure.
Can't help but thinking how much better looking and smoother the Suzuki is and better value too. I'm currently on a Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 but want to downsize (physically) to a 1000cc naked. I've previously had the old V twin Tuono and most recently a Speed Triple 1050. Having ridden the Yamaha and the Suzuki practically back to back, I thought the Yamaha suited me better but now having thought about how the Suzuki stopped and handled better, I'm leaning towards the Suzuki again. Also the fuel consumption on the MT-10 is terrible, like 25 MPG (UK).
I've got all winter to think about this but your help and comments are much appreciated in support of the Suzuki. Just a note on throttle snatch, on the 2015 naked GSX-S I test rode, I didn't notice it at all so it's a non-issue for me. I also test rode the outgoing Kawasaki Z1000SX but found the engine quite buzzy after 7000rpm and not as exciting as the GSX-S.
Cheers!
