A short rider's thoughts on the Yamaha MT-09 SP: 2 months later

With 890cc, 419 lbs wet, it's one of the taller and more reliable bikes you can get in this cc range. As a short rider that usually commutes in town, here are my thoughts after riding with it for a couple of months in town and the mountains, as well as what Yamaha added to the SP version for an extra $1600.
