Just saying Hi 
I almost bought MT09 since I wanted a new bike in March but decided to wait for the 790. My first bike was a little Duke 125 I bought in 2016, covered over 16.000 miles and part exchanged for the bigger brother 790 Duke.
Just done over 6000 miles on it. Had a problem with oil leak from engine sprocket but that was fixed under warranty. Now having issue with leaking coolant onto O2 sensor I believe. Noticed few days ago when some smoke was coming out from the front of the bike at idle, checked coolant level and was almost empty. Topped up the coolant and will take it to the dealer Today. Had some problems with quickshifter when going from 5th to 6th gear, it was going into neutral but now pressing harder on the lever and its ok. Other than that no issues.
Got a new rear tyre at 4500 miles, changed Oil&Filter (Motorex) at 3000 miles.
Planning on getting heated grips soon and some other bits.
Anyway, having a lot of fun on the bike everyday since I bought it. I can see it through the window when at work and it always puts a smile on my face, I know when I finish work I am going to have some fun on it
