Yeah all extras on, first time I sell something so fast without buyer not even wanting to negociate...Im just screwed now that I havent found my next bike...was expecting to sell it fast as in 2-3 weeks, not as in 2-3 hours! Oh well now you guys know, if you ever decide to sell your bike one day, assume it will leave VERY fast...!

If you don't mind sharing, how much did you let it go for?

Nice. Good to know I can most likely sell for a lot more than I owe!

i was lucky enough to to test a ride a mt-01 at our local bike weekend in 2008! it was a torque monster! fun to ride found it a little heavy threw town but very comfortable at high way speed!! loved the bike hated the price tag if you can find one for 10k brand new that would be amazing! hope you come back to share pics if you purchase one!

I pretty much gave up on buying a new one...I even called in Saskatchewan to find one hehe But found a used one in Fredericton, 7000$ with 9000km. Funny thing is it's older then my FZ8 by 4 years but has less then half the milleage on it
Only crappy part is I need to fly down there (2 hour flight or like 15 hours by train for about the same price!)...adding about 300$ on the price.

1h30 of car to the airport, 1h30 of flight, 8h ride back home and bike is now sitting in the driveway
Love it! Though it's not as agile as the FZ8 obviously (theres a little 100lbs extra...) it handles superbly and way better then what I expected when I saw the bike in person! its got loads of torque, sounds awesome even with stock exhausts (dont know how Yamaha managed to homologate those exhaust!). Now I just ordered a few bits and pieces and will have it vinyl rapped in charcoal gray (front fender and tank).The experience is SO different, when you start it you have the impression the mirrors and flashers will fall off from vibration lol! but as soon as it revs just above idle, vibration becomes just nice character, and its just pure fun to ride even at legal speeds. Not the lightest bike, not the most practical (exhausts limits luggage options), but I must say on the fun factor its a 10/10)
