A Shift in Power
Australian Road Rider
|April 2017
Electronics are becoming the norm and Snag is a fan …
Hi folks. I recently had cause to ride the new Yamaha MT-09. In fact, the event was the Australian launch. The local press contingent did laps for half a day at the track and a few hundred kays in and around Albury and its wonderful roads around the Hume Weir. Twisties, bumpies, extreme heat. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. Look for the full launch test of the MT-09.
Big news on this front is that the bike comes equipped as standard with some relatively basic, by 2017 terms, electronic rider aids. There are two-mode (three if you consider ‘off ’ a mode) traction control and three engine maps. There’s also a powershifter and ABS. Oh, and a slipper clutch.

When it comes to bike luggage, my preference is usually a set of soft saddle bags; you can throw them on and off easily, and they make sense whether you’re packing for a day trip or a months-long adventure.

Keeping Girls On Motorcycles
On any given weekend at your local motorcycle club, you will see throngs of kids blasting around on dirt bikes having a great time. More often than not, it’s at these local club tracks where kids are introduced to motorbikes. Boys and girls (under 10 years old) get out there and simply enjoy riding their bike without too much competition. Not many of the kids or parents care where they finish in the pack — it’s just about having fun.
