Hi, all !
As someone may have noticed, I had a questionable experience when hiring a MT-09 Tracer recently, in Portugal. Upon returning the bike, I had a list of complaints about the bike and gave the owner 1 day to rethink if this rental bike was actually up to quality requirements. Long story short - I put a review on Google, and the owner responded.
Waddya think ? Would you rent a bike from this guy ? Has he got valid points ?
BTW, a small comment on the point about the rear brake:
The rear brake didn't work properly for two reasons: a) Rear brake disk is completely shot, and b) Brake pedal position was some 1" too low, making it even harder to apply any useful pressure.

Nice staff, but bike (Yamaha MT-09 Tracer) was in horrible condition! Tyres worn out, made horrible noise from gearbox or clutch, rear brake was worn out and didn't do much good. Driving it was a pain, when I finally came to rhink of tyre pressure it measured to 1.1bar/2bar, should have been 2.5/2.9. Stay away!

Sir Bjørge Sæther The motorcycle that the Lord claims is from the year 2015, is 3 years old. At the time the motorcycle was delivered, the front tire had traveled 4200km and the after road 2300km, and Mr he rented the motorcycle 8 days and did 1184km. The braking of this bike is ABS, and it is not possible to have braking of the rear wheel, but when it locks on a poor road, with gravel, with sand or sidewalk, the Abs acts not to block the wheel. The tablets had 2000 Kilometers and are still in good condition. The noise of the embryo in this model, unfortunately is normal when you are in the neutral. It is the first customer who did not take pleasure in driving this model that has 3 cylinders and has to work, very different from a 2-cylinder engine. The tire pressure was our mistake, which should not have happened and for which we apologize. I can not understand why he complained only on the last day, not the day he detected the problems, or he did not come to our station to change that bike, for another model. I wish everything good for you and that you find your ideal motorbike, and if you return to Portugal, we expect you Your wish is our service
