KIWI RIDER JULY 2021 VOL2 | Page 106

I was forced to go - the very next day , a Saturday - and have a look at the next step up . Why ? Well the MT-09 SP was damn near as good as my own bike , and that ’ s really saying something , and if I was going to change I ’ d need to feel that I had improved significantly , you know what I mean ? But honestly at $ 16,999 I think the MT-09 SP is the greatest bang for buck today .
Tracer GT Gorgeous behaviour on the road , brilliant tech , and TFT displays . Perfect , elegant , fast , screened , tidy , pretty , balanced , able , and only $ 22,499 . Simply didn ’ t like it . Sorry . I know , I just couldn ’ t get ... into it ... y ’ know ? Just not me . And it ’ s a GREAT BIKE . DARK SIDE What didn ’ t I test ? The MT-10SP . Am I changing ? No . I have enough Dark Side already , thank you , I don ’ t need to make it blacker . But that MT-09 SP . Damn , Japan , that ’ s DARK . Hell yeah .
