LOL The MT-01 was displayed as a prototype over 3 years ago with over 180rwhp and mountains of torque. Everyone lined up to buy one, handed over their cash, and were then delivered a powered-down nerdy version of the prototype. The bean-counters wanted to save money and increase profits. Understandably, most owners started modding them when the factory warranty ran out. LOL

The rear swing arm looks way too long. It always looks stupid to see a single-sided swingarm on a chassis not built to accommodate one. Even the custom chassis looks too much like weak spaghetti. The factory frame would have been stronger. I wouldn't want to get too happy on the throttle with that bike.

Still, looks nicer than the factory version.
