more midrange??? picked up my new MTS 1000 yesterday from aylesbury(must be the last one left?) and rode home in torrential rain - but enjoyed it anyway. after the 748 it was great just using the 4000-6000 midrange to cut through the traffic - easy! it really picks up cleanly. love the instruments too, the headlight is good, but handlebars need to be lower and further forward to get a leaning forward(just a little) body position. Can't wait to put some miles on her now!

I agree. The bars need to be lower and more forward. Might stop the unsolicited wheelies too!

Yep,best bike ever for riding in the rain.Just needs a fender extender and a hugger to keep some of the wet out.I bought the Pyramid Plastics extender and the QB hugger from Italia Moto.Cost about £150 for the pair.

got a DP carbon hugger fitted as part of the deal and funnily enough found the pyramid plastics extender in a search today - it is on order. Had an embarrassing couple of moments today - a twist of the wrist and i seem to arrive at the back bumper of cars alot quicker than the 748 ever did - and i would have to agree with ariel about wheelies - wooaahhh nelly! (not the cornerspeed one)
