Improve the MK1, unless you plan on doing a lot of travelling (not at the mo) a 9r, having said that had no problem riding to Slovakia and around Europe on a MK1 though as many have, i like em all though.

As a former Mk1 owner that now has a Niner, I preferred the Mk1 on twisty abck roads, but the niner is the better bike for long distance touring.

What would persuade you to go M shock ?
Instead of A. N. Other
Well price bracket is similar to YSS and Hagon, M Shock will happily chat to you over the phone about your requirements, imo those 3 are like tyres, they all do the job, on the other hand you could splash out for the likes of a Nitron, Maxton or Wilbers etc but do you need to spend the extra !! or have deep pockets, if so i can vouch for Wilbers and many for Nitron, i think they are money well spent also, if doing big miles buy a posh one..

Some of us loike to tour on twisty roads. (θ‿θ)
Fair point
I'll rephrase, IMO the Mk1 is better is better at powering out of low speed corners, and the niner is better on faster roads
