Hi
I’m Richie and I hail from north Birmingham.
I’ve just bought my MT-10.
I’m 55 now but have owned bikes all of my adult life. I’ve owned bikes for leisure, for commuting, for touring and even for racing (I was a bit lighter and bounced a bit better back then!).
Over the past 10 years I’ve owned and restored some classics that I’ve restored and put back on the road. These include a Z1R, an XT500 and a RD350LC. I’m currently restoring an 82 Suzuki Katana 1100.
I decided to upgrade to a more modern bike after changing jobs recently and took the decision to buy something more modern, so I can commute occasionally. My lad (28) has just passed his Direct Access and I want to share some Dads and Lads time on the bikes before I get too old.
I have to say that the MT10 is a bit of a step up from an LC. It’s got brakes and all sorts that I’m not used to.
Cheers
Richie

Welcome Ritchie, nice list of bikes. The MT10 is in a class of its own. Nevertheless, enjoy your purchase.

Richie. Alyusx means nice, well and good. Alyusx does not mean to insult your age, lol 😂. It is Alyusx’s way of being respectful. I can’t write in any other language and if I did I come across wrong. So you are not an old guy that needs a spark plug removed from the MT-10 to ride it, lol. Alyusx likes the knowledgeable here so he does mean nice things to keep on good side. Anyhow I only jester and kid but I to am a few years older that all school age children. So yes good experience but the two stroke stuff will be fully wasted and fly over heads of those under half of your age. Get the 10 grunting along with the front wheel light and you’ll feel Alyusx’s admiration and age 👍
