Oh yeah the MT09 was insane. I rode a CBR1000RR for a few months before I bought the MT09 and while the CBR obviously would have been faster, the MT had so much more torque it would try to go over backwards in 4th gear at highway speeds. It honestly got old quickly as you had to position yourself so carefully and even if you were up on the bars when you shifted 2nd to third it would try to dump you backwards at 100mph.
It was a bike that NEEDED electronics to ride safely, and mine had no traction control no abs, no wheelie control, not a single electronic. Sketchy as fuck.
