Opinions?

I’m relatively new to motorcycles, but on the same page I’m also pretty mature and don’t make dumb decisions(not too often, at least) lol. Okay, I’ve owned a Harley (sue me) and a CBR600RR. At this point in my life Harley just isn’t for me. I do like fast, and I like playing around. The CBR was amazing, I genuinely enjoyed that bike, and I didn’t necessarily want to get rid of it, it just didn’t feel like “me”.. you know?

I’ve always loved the MT’s… they just look sick. The MT10 is my spirit animal lol, they sound so 🤤 that said, THAT is the only reason (to me) to get a MT10, with my little riding experience. I know a lot of riders preach start small and learn, then get bigger. But I really am a person who can learn on the big, respect the bike and all that. I don’t want it for the power. Literally just the sound of the motor lol.

So! The question… all of you out there… amenities and price, all that stuff aside… why did you pick an MT09 over the 10? Had the MT10 and went to 09??

Let me know your thoughts, I’m think about getting one soon-ish.. thanks everyone!

If it helps to know. I’m 6’3” about 230lbs
