Great video. No foul language and rubbish music. Thanks a million buddy. Do be careful, as you were riding on the wrong side of the road throughout the whole presentation.
Left is right. 😁
Obviously lol
@@kf8575 Don't be that guy, Ken..
@@kf8575 woooosh
Lunoir NSX beat me to it
I respect your respect.
I mean respecting the language by using no foul language and respecting the viewers by giving them a professional review.
Already made my mind up, this will be my first proper bike when I pass my test. Perfect for city/Twisty A roads I’ll be commuting in.
great choice
I envy your choice...good luck
You won't be disappointed. Lovely machine, docile as hell in slow traffic but is eager as out on the open road. A beaut
Which other ones were you considering?
Same! I'll get the mt07 100% whenever I have my licence. I was thinking about a z600 as well, but this lil bastard blew up my mind. Amazing bike. Can't wait to daily ride this beauty!
If you sit close to the gas tank and rev the engine, your balls will get tickled.
lmao
And that's why I ride with my pants undone.
People think I’m joking but I’m completely serious. It’s a great bike though... cheers from the USA.
Neat
That’s exactly why I constantly blip the throttle at a red light.
These "budget bikes" have gotten ridiculously good. The sound is amazing. As an American, I will never understand how HD is the number one selling brand here with options like this out there.
That they have! I remember when I passed my test, there just wasn't the sort of choice you have now. Thanks!
The Americans buy HD because it is American there are far better bikes in Japan/UK/Italy/Germany
they make HDs so the nazis will something to ride on.
HD are bought by OLDer Americans who really rides, still the staple for the younger people of American 19-30 year olds are the Sports Bike. HD sales all over are down.
I was really into the R3 for my first bike but I think I’m in love with this bike
Probably the best review so far. And I've seen a lot already. Thank you very much, very helpful!
Just bought one of these, super excited.
Don't get a speeding ticket 😆
Thanks for the review! I’m looking at getting a MT-07 and this was quite helpful. Loved the soy milk line.
Toying with owning my first bike and think this is the one! Thanks for the excellent review 👍
Oh and you’ve convinced me to buy this bike when I get my full license!
I've been watching these motorcycle review videos for years but I've never seen anything close to this. I've subscribed and will watch your videos right up to the day you run head on with a 18 wheeler. Good luck mate.
Well thankfully we don't have 18 wheelers here and I find staying on the correct side of the road helps with longevity! 😉
Love the video. The bike seems soo fun.. I can't wait to get my own here in Jamaica
I just bought mine 2020 ice fluo getting it in 2 days. Loved the review cant wait!
thought you got the mt-03? you said on another video comment
@@NckNck-pu9vb nono 07
Your videos are so calming to watch mate, great for after work, love it 😄
I love this moto so much, so easy to control and to ride.
Good job on your video editing. Love that blur 🤣🤣🤣
I have this exact same bike. just bought itabout a month ago best bike I've ever owned fun as hell, highly recommend
Ozzie Horne I highly recommend getting torque gearing and an exhaust, doesn’t matter which one they all sound amazing! Unless you like the quiet that is
joe doidge that was the first thing I did. Was get an exhaust. Sounds great.
I watched this video and i realize that this video is pretty fun. Actually because you laugh at the video. It feels relax and natural. I love this
Yeah, I guess this bike is fun. It's that engine! It brings out the hooligan!
@@Englishbikerdan i hope i can have MT series too
It sounds so lovely.
Great review, point on, keep up the good work
Excellent video, as always.
Best bike for the price. The engine feels and sounds amazing
Just subscribed. Thanks for posting years ago! Will look for your newer vids after watching this...
Thanks mate! 👍
thanks, great commentary and no annoying music
Going on solo rides is the best feeling ever!
Even the MT-07 has enough improvements to keep the bike exciting and consistent. Dan sadly i cant say the same for Man Utd.
Great review bro. I'm getting mine tomorrow. I really can't wait omg😫
Someone's not going to sleep much tonight! Enjoy your new bike!
Thank you. Great video. I am looking into a 2021 MT 07. I will look into the issues you pointed out. Perhaps they addressed them.
Great video! Your reviews are so much better than mine!! You actually know the details 😂
Keep it up mate! 👍
Just subbed you, some good videos and keep at it. 👍
EnglishBikerDan thanks very much!
I own a black 2019 master of torque model for over 3 months and I love everything about it! At low RPMs, it behaves like a kitten and at high it's like a beast. On this bike, you just measure fun per mile nothing else. It's my first bike so I really think it's the best beginner bike out there...I am sure I will keep it for some time! Cons? Maybe that sometimes I get a blank shift indicator(somehow it gets stuck in some gear... and vibrations around 4-5k rpm, but I guess they are normal for inline 2 engines? Right?
LOVED THIS
Crying into their soymilk = my subscription.
Haha thanks 👍
me too lmao
the laugh after that tho XD
That got me sub’d too!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The Motorbike Shop in Farnborough. Great place. That's where I got my 07 ice fluo from a couple months ago. 🤟
I'm also pretty sure I test rode the RAG as well!
I bought my HJC CS15 from there. Best helmet I've ever owned.
That tree hugers comment was beautiful
😂
I spat my tea onto the screen :D
😂😂
:D

Loved the review. No bullshit. Subscribed immediately.
Thank you! 👌
great review, was going to buy this bike but as you said they haven't resolved the rust and coolant pipe issues, what a shame!!.
Yamaha, super bike! Super power engine! 👍
Looking at this review as I plan on doing my full license soon and I'm going "this route at the start looks very familiar..." Turns out it's my commute to work 😂😂👌🏻👌🏻 great review though - covers pretty much everything I'm looking to know about it!
Haha, yes I live locally so it's my commute too! MT07 is a very fun bike despite some issues. Good luck with the test and hope all goes well. Cheers! Dan ✌️
Great review,thanks.
Great review! Subscribed on spot!
Thank you!
I love the blurring of the speedometer xD
What about the 2017 or later MT-09 versus this..brakes, suspension any better? Comfort Ergos any better? Throttle snatchiness worse or same. I know mt09 faster. So what would you get as more experienced rider?
I had a -16 model aswell. Really liked it, but after a year I was done with the "rollercoaster". But a good bike, lightweight and lovely engine. (I have a RnineT Pure now.) Well done Dan!
Never ridden the RnineT but what a lovely looking bike. Plus that engine, 143Nm torque? Mad!!
@@Englishbikerdan No, "only" 116Nm. And 110 bhp. But it's enough! Between you and me, I lifted the front wheel shifting from 5th to 6th gear in 180km/h!!!
Crikey, that's enough! I recently rode the R1250R which has the 143Nm. Absolutely bonkers but in a bike that looks very sane. Happy riding!
@@Englishbikerdan I did a testride on the R1250R aswell. Lovely bike! But there's more rock'n'roll in the RnineT, imo. Or as they say at the petrolstation "who owns the old BMW?" Ha ha!
@@johnDukemaster Hahah, it sure is a looker. I must get out on one!
I’m very excited for the 2021 MT-07 update. If it’s anything like the 2020 Tracer 700 I assume it will fix most of the issues. I’d buy the new Tracer 700 if they sold it in the US! Anyway, I had a 2015 one of these and the engine was absolutely the highlight, but the brakes and suspension ruined the whole experience. They must be upgraded. 4 years later I have a current SV650 and it’s better in almost every respect. Which has the better engine/transmission or styling is debatable. Oh and the seat on the SV650 is an absolute plank, but the 2015 MT-07 wasn’t much better and I’m happy they improved it for the current one. Overall I think the Yamaha wins for ergonomics, especially legroom, but handling and overall refinement I give to the Suzuki.
My only ride on a Yamaha, was my mates RD 200 back in the late 70s. The suspension dived braking unsettling the bike pre corner. Perhaps it was just his bike but I always went for Kawasaki's or Honda's.
Adjustable rebound damping on the rear shock too from 2018 onwards 😉 ...... and yeah corrosion is still an issue for some unfortunately ... the paint finish on the 07 is a bit hit n miss, ya might get lucky and have no issue but ya also might not be so lucky 🤷♂️ Good job it has a freaking awesome engine to make up for it ... makes more torque than an R6 and the 07 is lighter too 😁
Nice, thanks for the info 👍
@@Englishbikerdan thanks for a cracking video and nice review 😉
@@MotoGoato Thanks for watching! 👍
Your english accent is so sweet but the bike is even sweeter ;)
Passed my test on a MT07, great bike and I was lent a 2018 one for a week. I went with the Ducati 797 in the end, just wanted something different.
Got a 2018 model luv it
Something I would want ti get as my first bike
"I'm sure the tree huggers are crying into their soymilk" XD nearly lost my sh*t, super good review!
Thanks man! 😎
Color combo is awe maze zing
Your reviews are very entertaining. Nice one. A triple sounds nicer though.
No way, I love that road! I live in Woking😂 that road is so much fun!!!!
Bar end mirror + remove rear light + hand guard + oz rims + accossato on the clutch and front break + brembo on breaking + hell on the cables + maybe ohlins on both rear and back = absolute beauty.
Yeah basically spend 3000€ on upgrades... Just get a mt-09
@@Tonyx.yt. of course, get the 09, still do the same 😂
Or MT09 SP and just ride. :D
Hey, I visited the showroom to see the bike and noticed the seat noise was squeaking loads (from the seat rubber touching the tank). The sales people said it was 'normal' which I found very strange. Little squeak is understandable but a big squeak isn't normal for me when the engine is off. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Haha yes. Mine squeaked so much.
@@Englishbikerdan Thanks for letting me know! I heard a solution is to put some silicon to avoid it, otherwise i guess just some masking tape to avoid the rubbing!😅p.s. after watching the cb650r review, i prefer the exhaust much more but unfortunately they dont sell them where i live, so mt-07 it is! Thanks for your reviews, keep them up!
Love a bit if Pirbright bends! If you carry on instead of taking the right hand turn down the national limit road, then take a left under the bridge at the T junction, those bends towards Deepcut are far more fun imo.
Also, another great one is Bourley Road, goes between Fleet and Aldershot. Really nice fast, twisty road.
Cheers Chris! Will give those a whirl soon! I think I know that Fleet to Aldershot route. Very nice!
Tried your suggestion this morning, nice little extended test route now, thanks Chris!
What a beautiful road
It's interesting actually that you mention corrosion issues with the coolant pipes and swingarm; i ride an XJ6 (the bike this replaced) and i had to replace one of the coolant pipes, and treat the swingarm due to corrosion.
With that in mind, i'd suspect its a general issue with all mid range, mid sized yamahas?
I suspect you're right.
I know this is a old video. They should make a mt07 sp with öhlins suspension like the mt09, that would be awesome.
We need a 2023 ride review, to see if Yamaha got that suspension sorted out.
I tried sitting on a 2022 and to me the seat felt really hard, if I bought one I would definitely buy the comfort seat for it
I own the exact same one. You get
much motorcycle for a fair price. Only disadvantage is, if bought new, you'll never get quite the same money for it like you spent.
I got real lucky on my 2018 MT07. Bought from a dealership used with only 78 miles on it. Cost went from $8000+ brand new to only paying $5750. The original owner's wife forced him to return it when she found out he bought it behind her back! Lol.
Question. I am about to get my license so i am looking for a bike not to toy arround and make sure that it will help me in the road as long as i respect the rules. So is it a good first option for someone who hasn't ride before motorcycle?? By the way nice video and thanks a lot for the great presentation.. Keep up the good job
Man help me
I wanna get a MT07
BUT....
I don't know what model to choose
2018 or 2019
Please tell me what is the difference between the two.
Thank you so much
MT-07 ❤️❤️
Your speaking style exactly as the Character Korg from Thor Ragnarok.My most favorite Character.Got my Subscription 😀😆❤
Haha, I've had so many people say this but he's from New Zealand. I'm going to start putting in Korg references now 😂
This test seems more accurate then others.
Perfect commuting bike and is a lot of fun if that’s your thing . Yeah it has some issues like you mentioned , I abuse this bike a lot in first gear - everyone rides differently 😂
“Crying into their soy milk”😂😂😂
Love how you blur out the speedometer so you cant get caught speeding. Lol
Speeding... he was doing 40 the whole way officer
If the cops want to get him they don't need the speedo to calculate his speed haha.
Blur slip 83 😂
Thank you for the review. Just got one on sale for £5184, pretty decent price ey?
This will be my first bike aswell 😎👊
Great price! Enjoy it!
@@Englishbikerdan Thank you, I will 👍👊
Fantastic roads for biking! Great review by the way.
Looking forward to trying this engine in the Tenere 700.
Same, it might even be my new "do everything bike".
MT - Master of Torque.
Except Mt-03 2016-ogoing the lower amount of torque in his class :D
My dream bike
Thinking of getting this as my second bike. As i'm only 21 i'm restricted to an A2 licence, would this be a good bike? My main concern is the brakes, don't seem very good at all if you were using a full fist full! I'm wondering if new brake pads & lines would help fix that.
It can only help!
@@Englishbikerdan hopefully, i'll definitely be looking at getting a MT-07 what models are the good ones?
how tall are you? im 1,81m. do tou think it will it be too short for me?
In my country here i easily rode it around 170-180km/h and enjoying the crazy windblast😂😂😂
I have the 2018 one, with the same fly screen and exhaust as this one. The suspension is terrible, the brakes aren't confidence inspiring, ABS is far too sensitive and the horn button still catches me out sometimes after 11 months (3700 miles and counting). But still, that engine is just so good. It looks cool as fuck and sounds great too. It's fun for evening and weekend rides on the type of roads you rode in this video but being small and light, it's also good fun to filter through a city in rush hour on.
For those of us who have yet to hit on the kind of financial success that enables casually dropping nearly half a year's wages on a Street Triple or KTM, I don't think there's a more fun or better all around middle-weight naked bike.
Poor suspension and mediocre brakes seems a common problem in the affordable middleweight class... See mt07, SV 650, z650.
Only ducati Monster and cb650r dont have this problems but they are more expensive
i guess u get what u paid for..as for the brakes and stuff u just gotta deal with it,or just upgrade the braking system..but its a fun bike..i got to ride it for a week and i love it.. but its the 2017 model tho..
@@zer0h0n0ur3 Yeah and as plenty of 'motovloggers' have pointed out - it is really aimed at those of us in our twenties (only just still under 30, in my case) getting our first 'big bike'. Another year or two and I'll sell/part exchange it for a Street Triple R or a Z900. Or perhaps the Streetfighter V4 or a Tuono.
Insouciance Incarnate cry baby if the bike was 3k brand new still you would complain please go home ur drunk the bike is awesome I got it suspension is no problem breaks are not the best but they slow the fucking motor sown what else you want?
I have my MT 07 2019 en route as I am typing this comment. Although I'm more into supersports the smaller width of the handlebars on the MT and the riding position make it a better city-bike. Just a quick question man: I too noticed the weakness of the brakes. But did you have the chance to test the ABS? if yes how responsive is it?
For me the ABS is far too aggressive on this bike. When it cuts in you really feel it and it basically reduces the effectiveness of the brakes. That's in essence how ABS works but to me it gets in the way quite a bit on this bike but then I've spent more years riding without ABS than I have with it.
@@Englishbikerdan Thanks for your reply man really appreciate it. And you explain things quite nicely both in your videos and your replies. You have yourself a subscriber from Cyprus ;)
@@Lambda.Shadow_TV Appreciate it. 👍
Might have missed you mentioning it, but does the new model still have rubber mounted bars?
Aha, I think I missed this but no. Thankfully they got rid of the wobbly bar syndrome!
I am considering the MT07 or the KTM Duke 690...but I am leaning more to this
Next bike for me I think!! How it is? 🙂
Is it faster than the ninja 400?
Good timing...thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Great vid. Does it have slipper clutch and q. shift?
Thanks. It doesn't have either of these.
Thanks for review , so who is better this or honda cb 650 r ? here in Ireland booth is pretty the same price ,at the moment l ride on hornet 600 😁,*2009
Check out my comparison video. I had quite a few Hornets, good bikes but so dated compared to the modern bikes. We really are spoilt for choice nowadays! 👍
I added preload adjusters up front and have them turned all the way down so it rides stiff now, yet still mushes when abruptly stopping leaving parking lots, intersections.
Brake wise I'll re-evaluate come spring.
Yeah, they can work ok but they can also make the ride even worse.
Duke 390 or mt07 as a pure fun weekend toy for short trips?
Getting mine within 3 months. In blue. Cant fucking wait.
Same colour as I had although mine was a 2016 model. Enjoy it, they sound awesome with a decent system.
Really? You don't like the ice flow? In person i think it's incredible.
Hey cool channel nice review man. I also had an older fz07. Mine got stolen from me. Looking at the new models and this video is a great walk through. What bike are you riding now?
Sorry to hear yours was stolen. I am now riding a 2019 Honda CB650R.
Just ordered mine (same colour) from P&H......woohoo!
How is going?
@@paoloandrea5538 bought the XSR700 instead, love it!
ah pirbright bends. My old favourite
I knew I recognised the roads.
Farnborough! My wife's from there, it looked so familiar.
Yep, I'm around that area. 😊
@@Englishbikerdan I passed my bike test in Farnborough. Some nice roads around there :)
That’s a pretty tame exhaust note. My two brothers exhaust with baffle out sounds thunderously demonic.
Yep, that's the road legal Akra for you. I had a Yoshi R77 on my MT07 and it sounded great.
yes, the new model still has corrosion issues; they only updated the suspension components, the seat and the styling (*actually i see you covered that)
i don't understand how you can say the throttle response is ok from a cable throttle though; you open it and it goes
that said i agree with you on the other points. power output plummets after 9000 rpm, best point to shift is probably no higher than 9500. suspension is soft, dive is pretty bad and it produces some unnerving wobbles every now and then. i'm upgrading my suspension soon-ish so i hope to have a valid opinion on how it changes the bike. i'm also changing to bridgestone s22 tyres soon; on the racetrack i found the front-end grip in particular, lacking, which severely hampered my corner exit speed. brakes could definitely be better, but it's far from the worst i think lol
It's just a feeling I had from the throttle. Some bikes you feel like it's more direct and on this one, it almost felt like the cable was just a little bit slack but on my 2016 it was the same. One of those things that's hard to quantify but how it felt to me. I'm sure with better suspension this thing would be such a brilliant all round bike. I'd love to see an MT07 SP.
hey biker! Can you tell me which bike is better? Yamaha Mt07 old or new whatever or Honda CB650F 2017-2018,not new neo racer cb650r
Better is very subjective in many areas. Like I always say, test ride both and buy what makes you smile the most.
GentleMEN!
if i ever get another bike or sell mine im getting this!!!! i have a nice dr-z400sm
