I think I'm old school when it comes to style and much prefer the XSR900 version of the MT-09. Fuelling set up and suspension is meant to be better too. If I was upgrading, that's the one which would tempt me.

MT09 £7999
765S £8999
Cost more than the difference to sort out it's rough suspension.
Ok the MT09 has more grunt.
The 765 more Street Cred.

If I had to pick a Yamaha from the current line up it would probably be an XV950R in green.
The modern styling direction Yamaha are taking just now doesn't appeal at all.

Yam's in yellow always have a good nostalgia vibe with me back from the days of the FS1E and the RD250 DX.

Know what you mean about the yellow but if something is butt ugly the colour it's painted will not often hide it.

I prefer the XSR version as well.

I think that the 2017 MT-09 has the same suspension as the XSR has, from what I've read in the tests in the magazines.
