Hey new to the forum!
I know its probably been asked quite a bunch but I've been thinking of going for a naked bike. Totaled my new r1 last month (car pulled on in front of me) and as much as I loved it, I just want something more practical but still handle just as well. I've never owned any European bike and have always had that "Japanese reliability" so an 890 would be my first. I've researched tons on the 790 and have saw the oil leaks.. cracked screens, coolant drips, engine cases flaking.. etc.. Would they cure this with the 2020s? I'm the OCD type and don't want any of those issues. I've also had the mt09 on my mind but whats stopping me is the suspension is just terrible. I know this forum is biased but if you had to chose between the 890 vs mt09 with upgraded suspension and wanting a machine that won't see much warranty work. What would you chose? Thanks.
