Ever since I sold the Monster, I have been looking for a new sporty but comfy bike. I stumbled across this Yamaha MT 01 on the net. Its a Euro model only right now and is slated to hit the States for 06.
It has all the right stuff to be supper sporty and comfy at the same time. I love the look. (not sure about the head light) The big twin should have plenty of torque for two up ridding as well.
Just thought I would share. Link to Yamaha UK
Other tech stuff for those interested.
