Its a good thing new Suzukis have really nice paints, it really pops and sparkles, like the gsx 1000gt, one of the highest quality paints in the industry
Good news that one of the big four Japanese manufacturers has finally made cruise control available in their middleweight platform. I expect this will soon follow in a revised Tracer-7 and maybe the Tenere, which should shake up Honda to include it on the Transalp and 750 siblings, Suzuki on the V-Strom 800 and GSX8R/S, and perhaps Kawasaki on their 650 range (although I can see Kawaski increasing displacement for this range). Aprillia seems to have led the way with the Tuareg 660, then with Triumph launching a new Tiger 800 a couple of days ago (with cruise as standard), this all helps pile pressure on the rest to make cruise control available on more affordable bikes. With so many average speed traps around, this feature is becoming essential.
As long as the ride by wire doesn't change the lovely character of the CP2 engine other changes should make this a hit and possible purchase for me! Considerably lighter weight + the intake treatment should address my only two complaints with my current GSX 8S. Much better overall value than previous versions as long as the price doesn't change too much!
I believe that a lot of bike models should have an SP version for a more premium form, feel, and function. Not least the MT07. I have said this of the Honda 750 hornet, also.
@@davidmallia628 They probably crunched the numbers and realized it might not be worth it for that class of bikes especially since Yamaha have the MT09/10. A 750 Hornet SP does make a lot of sense though since you’d have to jump to the 1000r/hornet for more power, parts and tech.
can´t wait for the new Tenere with these updates ... ride by wire means cruise control (finally) and the optional auto shift ... that will be a game changer for mid size adv bikes
Funny, I just bought a CF Moto clx 700 , it has fully adjustable suspension, usd forks, you can even turn the abs off, 74bhp , brand new 2024 bike and I paid less than 5 grand , and it's a bloody good bike .
Wow, that is a significant upgrade and they did a tonne of things that the MT07 desperately needed like the suspension and chassis upgrade. They also did a lot of things that I wanted Honda to do with the CB650R. I still prefer the CB650R at its core but man, I wish Honda gave us a RBW throttle with up/down QS and cruise controls instead of that e-clutch. I know a lot of people love the e-clutch but I’m old school. I want to ride a manual motorcycle not an automatic. I hope Honda wakes up and gives us a better upgrade to the CB650R in a year or two. Gotta wonder what the managers at Honda are thinking. They missed the mark so badly.
Yamaha probably isn't positioning this new model at folks who already have an MT-07. If you're looking at the old model compared to its peers, it was less desirable.
@exothermal.sprocket they were always defending the rubbish suspension though it definitely bottoms out for a pastime the front forks were garbage. The engine was great though

Hi! Love your videos! There were pre-release leaks of the images on the upcoming royal enfield Interceptor Bear 650 (Scrambler). Can you please make a video on that too please?
I think the suspension upgrade is good, design is better, but I think simple bike is better. Cable trotle, cable clutch... 700ccm bike don't need lots of electronic things. I'm not a fan of the automatic bikes. I never owned a scooter, just manual moto bike. This is my personal opinion
I loved my MT07. I had the 2019 version, it was so much fun!! I really don’t get the direction manufacturers are going with headlights, I am not a fan. I had my heart set on an MT09 after my 07, and on paper it ticked all my boxes but I just couldn’t come to buying one as I am not a fan of the 25 design. Went a different route and Bought a zx6r and absolutely adore it. Would deffo buy an MT again if the design improves!!
Giving two models is a great call. I hear these new e-clutches are fantastic and work very well but I believe Honda only offers some bikes in just the e-clutch
I was thinking about going to buy a brand new Yamaha MT-07 for the past week, now this video comes out??? that thing looks absolutely brilliant! curious what the acoustics will do that feed engine noise to the top of the tank, think it'll be more of a gimmick but who knows? gonna have to do a test ride to figure if I want the Y-AMT transmission or the manual with quick shifter. Cruise control sure is handy for the 'longer hauls' so that benefit goes to the Y-AMT. very curious! did see a horsepower figure of 73 on yamaha's website though... but we shall see!
I think these changes are great. It should make the bike more appealing, the AMT is a great feature that will like previous/current owners to seriously think about an upgrade.
😂 It fits the modern age... And brings intrigue to an old guy like me. Standard friction clutches became slipper clutches and now automatic transmissions😮? 😅 Let's go, might as well check it out...
Brake, chassis and suspension improvements are always welcome. MT-07 needed these - especially the suspension. They also managed to not totally destroy the timelessly good looks of the bike. Congratulations! But if there was just ONE thing that needed to change, then this is the horn button position! Did they change it? Otherwise, all the other supposedly "better for safety" electronics are nothing more than useless, flashy gimmicks.
Hope they got the ride by wire throttle right. I dont care for ride modes, TC is a nice safety bonus for crossing train tracks in the wet but otherwise meh at this power, but i was really looking forward to an MT07 with autoblipper! Now all that's missing is cruise control on the non-amt :D
@@spartanx169x For the XSR900, there’s a good chance they'll add the minor improvements from the MT09 and XSR900GP this year (such as the new version of the shifter & the new dashboard). If only to standardize the models on production lines, I can’t see them going through the hassle of continuing to produce old parts just for the XSR.
I want to see the 2025 MT-09. I hope Yamaha will pay more attention to parts fitting, give us a nicer headlight cluster and a bigger TFT screen with a less unusable frame.
I just can,t get my head around ride by wire. Will any new bike have a cable throttle and all the tech ? Nearly bought MT07 because of cable throttle and low tech.
Interesting. That said, I can get a brand new Tuono 660 at my local dealer for 8000€ (which is ~6650 pounds), so not sure if I'd pay more for the Yamaha. Probably not
I think the wheelies are the only reason to ride that bike. If your coming off an Inline-4 it just feels like your waiting for that surge that never comes. I havnt ridden the new one obviously ride by wire, but its snatchy and it handles like any other budget middleweight beginner bike for the last 15yrs. I really gotta see what the MT-09 experience is like but i doubt its for me. I cant fathom why everyone just doesn't go for the zx4 and zx6 over the yamaha's. It baffles me.
When I was first looking into bikes last year it was very confusing and I was going with the MT07…. then next year I am looking to replace it with something else as I dont like the riding position that much and the suspension is very soft… now seeing this Im a bit sad I was a year too early getting my first bike.
no Cruise control on the new non-yamt mt 07 - fine. However CC should trickle down to the new manual Tracer 7/7 gt, and the Tenere 700. Although am glad Yamaha upped their game to match their competition tech wise, nevertheless, the cp2 (and i absolutely love mine on the Tenere and tracer 7gt) does need a few ponies more to go against the rest in it's class, as it's the least powerful.
This update should've come out years ago when the CB650R and Trident 660 came out. Now it's better handling but still underpowered compared to pretty much everything else.

That Ice Storm color is too close to Suzuki's GSX-8 color. Otherwise good updates, would be a killer with 10 extra hp.
Yamaha is likely to stick with the 650-690 class. If they wanted to put out a 750, it would be another class.
