Jonny; can we have a video. Love its exhaust note.
Impressive mileage. Wonder how much steer gets.
Video will be worked out in few more dayz. Well all days are not Sunday so not sure if every pillion will have similar experience. As it is I hate having pillion as they really are a threat to my balance when i drive !

Sorry couldnt understand " WONDER HOW MUCH THE STEER GOES" if its cut angle then be sure it has good cut angle but get very heavy when making U Turns as i have dropped it a few times doing so . I now make U turns more like a car or big truck moving back & forth in short curves so that I be safe !

Never really checked. I refuel at 150 km on the odo, though on a couple of occassions I have had to ride with the low-fuel warning on - its a very unnerving experience because you really dont want to be pushing this thing around. Went upto 195 on those occassions, was still not empty though very close to. PS: Fuel tank capacity is a measely 15 litres.

Thats one marvel of Engineering! Congrats for your beast Jhonny!
Drive Safe and Sane.
Few Queries:

1. How is the gear pattern?
2. How much is the engine oil capacity?
3. How much the engine temps vary during intensive city drivings and free highway riding?

Jonny ur review is hilarious and entertaining to read as it is honest as well. Do not want to sound preachy but please be very careful with what you have. Remember with great power comes great responsibility. Invest in good riding gear . Ride with your head on your shoulders at all times , espeically till you learn how handle your bike perfectly and even after that be careful . Mistakes happen to the best of us and on a motorcycle those mistakes can be expensive.

since u like harleys why did you not try out the new VMAX ? wouldve been fun

Hi 2 Stroke !

Thx (I hope you weren't meaning to pull a pun or two on me above).

Yeah man i am full head over heals on my MT01 & yes ofcource i drive with my head over shoulders i realize its a very power-packed Mill which needs all the caution. SO i do follow what is required in terms of safety gear & responsible driving behavior. I hope you saw the pix where the few gear are on show.

Thx for your views & comment.

Hi Steeroid thx again for the pix I shall try to use them for my work.

Cheers cheers:

Heck man, should we be proud of our image being formed in Dubai or should we feel the other way round.There is a code of conduct to drive such mean machines.

One said very right "Money can buy you every thing but not class "

Oh really?

So you'd call a guy wearing expensive riding gear and leathers "CLASS" even though he goes out and eve teases every girl he passes?

Class means a well groomed person.Well mannered."Sabhya Aadmi"

No one can stop a person from wearing his traditional dress anywhere in the world.
I'm proud of that Mallu in dubai for going out and riding a stupid harley.riding that harley would be a greater dent on his image than his cloths.

Well said.
The fact that the Mallu can ride in a foreign land in his traditional clothes shows how connected he is to his roots.
I may be ignoring the riding gear necessities here, but being connected to the roots and being proud of it comes only from someone who is proud of himself, his roots which is a lot better than the pretending people around who are constantly trying to become into a different person.

JB dude,

Once you improve your riding skills , your mileage is gonna drop further guaranteed.

I used to get 20 on my hornet. 6 months later on some rides when I push it, I get 8

That is what happens when you ride on the redline.

Vijay

Well but i am really on increase towards the milage front. As i got about 10 the first tank & after about 3-4 tank ups i am over 15 now. may be i learn to drive better & increase

Will keep posting if i do up the ante of average somehow !

But riding is certainly a great comfort when in full riding gear rather then wearing some off beat traditional cloths as there by i feel connected to my roots but certainly pose a risk to my self or others around us. Drive carefully with full protection.

One can certainly show off their roots & attire off road ! One will be appreciated for their costumes rather then becoming a posting on some forum. Well i would rather stick to posting more info on my MT01 rather then anything else. As this is teamBHP !
