Hi, i am new to reddit in general, i use it pretty much to see if anyone has had the same problems as me in general. But since this bike is relatively new (compared to the mt07) i have had issues finding people that share the same opinion on this bike as me.
I drove 1030km c.ca and had a minor slide which, by the way, caused a lot of damages (i recommend wheel and chassis tampons as first mod ever).
I really like the bike: it doesn’t feel like a 192kg machine and the engine is really the best part, the power delivery is smooth and has power in every rpm unlike the mt07 which is twitchy and is useless to use above 7k rpm.
DOWNSIDES
Coming to the downsides, has anyone here felt like the rear shock bounces a little? The front fork is too soft and not as much precise as i wanted.
Sure its a 7000€ bike (i got it with huge sales here in Italy, 7k keys in hand) But i felt like the MT07 (2025) is a lot more precise and has way harder suspensions both front and rear. And the front Of the MT feels planted on the ground while the front of the hornet feels off, it doesn’t give much confidence, as if it could slip in any moment. Has anyone noticed that or is it because my form on the bike isnt good while cornering? I know i have little to none experience on bikes, but i really want to know because i dont feel too safe cornering.
Thanks🙏
