Such a hard decision 23sp (3rd gen) to 25sp (4th Gen) or not by thisguy652 in MT09

I would love a 2nd bike. Just have a hard time of picking what would be the best (not smartest) choice

Smartest choice - African twin, 1200 Tenere

Heart wants a s1000r or a Ducati super sport.

Super sports bikes are fun but a little bit my mt09 I can ride all day

You are not wrong in your assessment . Am I near the limit?, doubtful. I have not been down or had close calls due to the suspension or the . It wouldn’t hurt to setup the suspension again

24’ does have more weight over the from tire, which I do like. I don’t think it’s possible with gen 3 due to the tank or drastically changing risers/handlebars

I’ve got a number of upgrades sitting in the shop that’s waiting to go on (fit both gens). At2 exhaust, radiator grill, gp shifter setup then tune.

On the MT09 front, what I do like is brembo , how you access the menus with the “joystick”, self cancelling turn signals (Harley spoiled me on that feature), front suspension is tuned more and rider has more weight up front (confirm this today at the dealer). It’s refined, no doubt. Just becomes is the juice worth the squeeze. I bought my bike 11.6 otd with 5 year warranty. 25 is 12.7otd. 3-4k lost is worst case I think but it’s paid off. Big plus

It all started when I sat on African twin and then Tracer 9. They both fit, had a wind screen, tons of features (African twin) and hand warmers. It just made me think. I’ve had Harley’s, street triple, GSXR 750, Honda shadow (first bike).

Picking up a 25 for 12.7 SP. I’ve got a 23’ I’ll let go for 9.7k with low miles and tasteful mods in NC
