• Hello,
         Just introducing myself as a new owner / member, just purchased a 2005 MT01 with stage 2 / titanium Akrapovic full exhaust. not ridden her yet but expecting a relaxed torquey ride with flat power band & mediocre handling? Am I anywhere near the mark? (my other bike is a BMW R1200GS water cooled boxer twin) Macca

• Hi Macca , I also have a R1200GS LC. I love it. Does everything good but is very bland compared to the MT. The MT is a beast with tons of character. You'll find the handling is surprisingly good for such a lump of a motor but nowhere near the GS. The boxer is light with a low C of G and corners like on rails. I love them both just in different ways. Ohh ... and my wife refuses to go on the MT ... another big plus sometimes.

• Welcome. Nice bike, you're lucky to have picked one up with the full Akro - pretty rare.
