Here in 2021, we have an ABUNDANCE of motorcycle options to choose from. In this video, I try to make an argument for why I feel like the 2021 Yamaha MT07 might just be the best motorcycle for road riding available on the market today.

Bro no way, been watching you for ages, appreciate the mention so much ❤️
Fun > Thrill. Powerful bikes are a thrill the first few times you open them up but once you're acclimated to the power it kinda feels limited because you can only really use it in very limited settings and even then you know your license is at risk. A bike like the mt07 though you can enjoy in all sorts of settings. It's just fun.
yeh, I am wondering about that......
But its too small , at 180cm you just look like a big spider on that thang
Im 180 mt07 is fine. Dont own one but rode one around a tiny bit. Kinda wanna buy one now lol my license doesnt cover anything over 500yet.
@@ivanoxx that is my height, and I feel good on the MT07, I didn't realize what I look like form outside. Spidah man! YAya!
That's a great point.
BUT, you can get a Monster that is much higher power, and weigh and handles pretty much the same. And it's a better bike to travel longer journey (I'm planning to travel across EU and the Alps, so I'm really not sure between these 2 now).
went from MT-07 to MT-09 , they are very different bikes. Had an accident with the 09 few weeks ago and bike is totalled. ( car hit me from the right side ) Bought me a nearly new MT-07 and i'm having a blast with it. So easy to just jump on and go. And let's not forget, the sound it makes with an exhaust
I believe the market around middleweight naked bikes are so close that everyone should just pick the one you like the looks of best and you'll be happy. I choose the Trident 660 couldn't be happier!
Depending on who you ask, some consider my 890R a middleweight. It weighs the same as these 650-700’s, but has tons more torque, with a decent bit more hp. I think the mt07 is a great beginner bike for a mature rider.
@@freebehindbars8654 the 890 Duke is one hell of a machine. Wayyyy better than the mt07
@@chris5k132 Yeah, it really is. My comment was about what’s a middleweight these days.
@@chris5k132 That is just silly. The Duke is seriously more expensive. It's not competing in the same category. MT-09 would be closer but even that is cheaper. That said, the Yamaha is waaaay more reliable.
Triumph street triple 675 is fantastic choice. Second hand market has them looking in great condition and cheaper than most 2nd hand Japanese bikes
Why thank you for the touring clip! Great little
Engine for day out blasts, commutes track day and long haul tours! 🤙🏼
I got myself an MT07 this September(my first ever bike) and is learning on it. So far I’m thrilled. Can’t wait for spring
Can I have it ?
Chase your footage of other riders pushing the bike you're reviewing is a great addition 👍
The video quality is great on this one Chase!!! Back on your game!
You're absolutely right Chet. The MT07 is the most fun motorcycle right now. And the best sounding twin hands down. The MT09 is fun too, but the MT07 just has some charisma to it.
I have a 2017 FZ07, and every point Chase makes is why I love it. It's a do everything, no frills ride that has a STOOPID amount of aftermarket support. My FZ07 looks nothing like anyone else's, and it didn't cost an arm and a leg.
oc. I started with a cbr600rr for my first bike. decided to get a 2019 mt-07 a couple years ago because it was more practical for around town riding. it is such a fun little machine! couldn't ask for a better fitting bike for what I want.
Have a 2017 Mt07 and it has been absolutely amazing, put on a M4 exhaust, tail tidy kit and smoked low profile front blinkers and it is sharpp.
I want to buy a 2017 with 23.000miles, ist alot? how long live the engines?
Dude the mt07 is great, my friend has one and he rides anywhere he wants, long highway trips are not a issue at all, and it wheelies super easy and fun
Great info. Also appreciate the clear audio and low wind noise 👍🏽.
Used to have an MT09, three years of ownership I had been happy, now got myself an Xsr700, looks great, smooth, punchy and reeeeeeal fun to ride!
So dont be afraid to come down in the displacement of the engine!
I have about 1400 osh miles on my 21 mt07 and i absolutely love it. First bike for me and it is very manageable. 1 month in and i can get the wheel up confidently in 1st and 2nd.
Just picked up my 2020 mt07 a couple weeks ago and I love it. The mt07s sounds great.
Another mention from the grand daddy of motovlogs 🐐 👀 LEGEND!
Sup!
@@TheWidowMaker. SUPPPP
Comprehensive review. Thank you
I bought the 2021 MT07 and I'm very happy with it, I stand by everything you said in this video! It's fun, light, doesn't lack power for street use and has a ton of aftermarket options for it
Definitely the epitome of “better to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow”
I actually started on this bike as my first official street bike , it's been an absolute blast very enjoyable bike & fun modding, looking on going to the mt09
Got a 2015 FZ07 for my first bike. Zero complaints, felt forgiving at first when I was learning, but a ton of power to have fun with. Highly recommend it for a first bike, so glad I didn’t start with a 300, would’ve been over it after a few weeks!
literally jumping from a 160cc moped to this. Good idea? I want it for daily busy city riding.
Great comphensive video about the MT 07. I have more clarity now. I like the simplicity of this machine. I am an experienced rider. I was more interested in getting the MT 09 but after watching this video I am more and more Interested in the MT 07. I like the T700 a lot too(same motor that says a lot). I will check the MT 07 out definitely. Thanks.
If you're experienced , I would recommend the 09 . I think he's just saying experienced riders CAN have fun . That mt 09 has so many more features , especially the suspension. I had an fz07 for a year .
Got one. Love it! It’s easy to use in low revs yet loves to get a wriggle on. Best in town and the twisties. Windy on the motorway but the power’s there if you give it the beans. Downsides? Some bits feel a bit budget but all in all it looks super cool IMO. Satisfying engine burble too
Seriously your channel is one of the best motorcycle enthusiast channel in the whole wide world. I’m form India and I have never seen a RUclipsr who puts so much effort to his video that explains most simple things that you experience in day to day life with motorcycles. All the best ❤️
PS: I’ve been your follower for more than 2 years
Its my daily, it does its job zipping in and out of traffic on rush hour and getting me home in time to watch my favorite show
I drove the 890 duke r, 2021 z900, 2021 mt09. I choose the MT07. It is so much fun. Suits my driving the best. Wheelie machine.
He is 100% spot on about the experienced driver part.
Thanks Chaseontwowheels. A great all round video. You should work for Yamaha. I'm looking to purchase one asap now.
There are realy a lot of Parts for the MT-07. Just for example, my MT-07 2019 got Heatgrips, a Quickshifter, a Smartbrake System for a flashing Breaklight, Running Light flashers, a Stuntframe, an blue flames spiting IXIL-Exhause, aftermarket Levers, a smart Bag system, a Tank Bag, red Chromeparts, and much more. There are also a lot of heated Seats or Gel Seats for the MT-07 made by Bagster. Tinkering on this motorcycle is a lot of fun.
OC: I’ve never ridden one before but I got the Tenere 700 and it’s my favorite bike I’ve owned! And I’ve owned 2016 R1 / 2015 Superduke 1290r / currently also own a 2017 FZ10 as well!! And it’s a really fun bike simple no fancy electronics plenty of power! Also gets double the fuel mileage of my fz10
Ok, You've convinced me. I'm getting one! 😅 Thanks Chase!
Nice video Bro!! got a 2014 MT07 myself lots of fun and i drive for more than 30 years and owned about everything in motorcycle land but......... the 07 makes me smile the most except for the lousy brakes and soft suspension it is almost perfect , Yamaha MT07 is the absolute fun bike!!
ayyyy, I knew you lived in Georgia but still cool to see you riding around in my area. Like I recognized most of the spots in the video + that was my office complex for my old job lmaoooo.
Oc; damn right it is, I just picked one up about 2 months ago and have had so much fun. Definitely happy with my purchase! The thing is a bit too easy to wheelie, I find myself not able to resist 😂😂
Same obviously. lol
Mine mt07 was received at july, it's my first bike and i absolutely love it :) every ride is great experience, and i am just waiting for weather to be good
I certainly think its a great all rounder and one of the best middleweights
Whole family with this engine is top: MT07/Tracer 7/XSR 700/ Tenere 7 - engine,weight, fun,agile, reliability. Value for money No.1
Honestly cant disagree with ya
amazing content
I love how chase portray a daily rider. Btw for me the sv650 engine is better the mt07 but the centre of gravity, or flick-ability of the mt07 is totally on a different level. Feels like im riding a fz150 that we have here in malaysia. Super nimble
Mt07 is my first bike. Freaking awesome bike. Especially with an exhaust
First 40 seconds in and I trust you man I’m buying one for my first bike 🤷🏽♂️
Cable throttle is where it's at, my dude! No computerised throttle control has the same responce as a direct mechanical connection, and that is worth more than all the riding modes in the world.
I notice it on cars too, my old Toyota isn't very fast and coming off something newer it takes a bit of getting used to, but I've never driven a modern car that feels more direct in its power application. It's smooth and immediate, an absolute pleasure to drive.
As of recently this has been my new dream Street Bike, I don't have my license yet and I've been riding on dirt bikes to get practice with clutch, throttle, and shifting for about 4 months now. When I do get my license I would love to own this bike.
MT07 (FZ07) was my first bike I bought in 2014. My newest/fifth bike is a MV Agusta Dragster 800. I still own my MT07. Never getting rid of it. My most balanced bike. Can take it anywhere with no hassles.
the rawness of these low and mid cc bikes are what im most excited for. Dont get me wrong, rider modes are great if you gotta commute a long way, but thats something id want for a 2nd or 3rd bike.
Yesssirrrr, New rider here. Got me a 2021 Mt07 all black Yoshimura Full Exhaust off the showroom floor.
Great daily rider,
Overall great bike that I will have for many years to come without the need of a bigger bike. Plenty of growing room.
Great decision !!
Pull the trigger people !!
Next is a WR250R for me
Yooooo u passed swazys I think I saw u making this video other day😂
As an MT07 owner I really agree with everything you said. I absolutely adore mine and it is so much fun, but the few little drawbacks mentioned are why I'm getting a new MT09sp here in a few days. With the refresh, it fixes much of the gripes I have about my 07. The extra power is really just a bonus rather than what I was looking for.
I completely agree with you and I’m thinking about doing the same thing at some point
I went from a 2019 mt07 to a 2020 mt09 🤙💯
If the sp would have been in the us then or if I knew 6 months later the new model was coming I might have waited but I'm just happy to have a bike🤘💯
@@trevorwotring3945 I had the opportunity to ride the new 09 sp at a Yamaha demo event and was absolutely blown away by it. Standard or SP, you can't go wrong. I just wanted that sweet cruise control 😍
It’ll be my first bike! Pick it up in three weeks ✔️
Perfect all rounder. Bought it yesterday. Feels good. Though my trident 660 was better in the twisties.
This feel more punchier and much better in high speeds👍
Good review, thanks. Waiting for the dealer to get one so I can test it. Global supply problems!! However I have ridden the GSX S750 and was super impressed. Despite the weight it was very smooth and easy to throw around about town with plenty of go. However keep the taps open and it climbs to 112 Hp and 80 Nm or torque, screaming like an F1. But nice and smooth and appropriate for the city of you upshift. Way better brakes and suspension is rebound adjustable both ends and I think is better sorted. The GSX is reportedly more stable pushing through corners. Finally I like the idea of traction control for wet roads and poor surfaces. Looks, well neither is really outstanding. At only USD700 more where I live I suspect the GST S750 is a better bike for money. Probably all the handling and power you really need, so maybe gets the title ;-0
Shhh your making it harder for me to buy one. I have my driving test in a month and my MT07 on order but its not expected to be delivered until late September unfortunately. Love the channel you have been a inspiration for me watching your videos for years and now I can finally afford a bike
Time for a new 650cc to 700cc comparison video series!!!
i own a 2018 Mt-07, done a little over 30,000km on it, owned it from new, had a lot of fun, things a wheelie machine, but the seat is not very comfortable, suspension is woeful, nose dives if you need to stop quickly, something that in Australia they make you do for your riding test in the emergency stop, just a few things I've noticed in the 3 and a half years I have owned it, but all in all an amazing bike, great first bike, has enough power but not too much
I’m buying this bike in 5 days, I take my msf course this weekend. I’m excited
I did buy the 2021 MT07 and I just love it.
Awesome Video Chase. You know that you're gonna have to do the Honda CB650R and compare right.
Thats a really nice bike foreal clean motorcycle right there
Im going to pick one up tomorrow🤩🤩
I agree with you hundred percent because I do have one
That negative LCD cluster looks soo clear in direct sunlight unlike Honda's or Suzuki's negative LCD
Bought a MT 07 2021 last year as first bike, very happy with the decision, i'm modding it, hyperpro fork kit, rearsets, a more Racing handlebar... I think that with this mods, it will be the perfect machine. I have the restriced one, and my best friend bought a gsxs 750, the Suzuki has a better suspension, but the MT is a lot more fun.
Can't wait to pick up mine. 12th of July I'll pick up mine in Storm Fluo!
I have an MT 07 and I absolutely love it. It's a joy to ride around town and in the twisties. The bike absolutely flies in 4th gear, which for most day-to-day riding is what you want. If I ever upgrade, I'll move to more of a "sport touring" bike. I have no need to move to another naked bike that goes 0-60 .5 seconds faster but performs worse everywhere else.
The MT07 is incredibly popular in Canada right now, especially with the parallel twin engine and it's sound when an aftermarket exhaust is put on. You have the roar of a large cruiser with the performance of a sportbike.
cruisers don't sound that good

@@Daniel-dj7fh What's that? I can't hear your opinion over my bitchin straight piped v-twin
@@Daniel-dj7fh Yeah,well you know,that's just like your opinion man...
@@wendellnovais Ye. If you're interested why I think so, mainly because most harley people slap way too loud pipes on their bikes.
OC: It’s a minimalist motorcycle. No frills but does the job and does it very well. $8k for it, I feel should be lowered just a tad as you said the plastic, brakes, etc but it’s decent for sure!
30+ years not riding, bought a 2017 MT07 brand new in 2018 (BTW I was 57 at the time) and haven't looked back 21k in 3 years and she still looks new. 2 track days (go to my 3rd in a week), thousands of wheelies, group rides, 1 crash and bad drivers, my girl Kandi has survived and just keeps providing fun and adventure at every turn. Super easy to ride, pretty easy on the body even on longer rides (get a windscreen) and plenty of power to do anything EXCEPT go over 130mph 🤣🤣
"it's forgiving if you respect it and ride it carefully" yea, that's every bike then
Didn't he do a "you're not ready for a bigger bike" video like a week ago? Now a 700 is a beginner bike?
Correct, yes even a busa
@1PaPaD1 aKa Derek Frampton 125's are beginner bikes, anything more is an upgrade either in the light, mid, heavyweight or superleggera categories
@1PaPaD1 aKa Derek Frampton So please explain to me why the EU thought it was a good idea to let 16 year olds ride 125's and only allow 300-~700cc when they're 18
@@Daniel-dj7fh Uk roads are different than the US it is actually very dangerous to drive anything below a 500 in the US because people will drive you off the road. The United Kingdom doesn’t have wide fast roads like us!
I took my license on a mt07. I liked it so much im going to get one.
Chase the type of guy to say he's an MT-10 owner and not owning a MT-10
You're not Tha guy pal
I’ve just bought a Mt07 haven’t rode one but I think I’ll enjoy it.
I didn’t know weather to get a trident 660
But hey I’ll sure enough will find out .
All the write ups and tests I’ve seen snd read the Mt07 comes out on top
Nice video... Let just say that in some areas the price of the latest version is few hundred more than the older version.. is it worth it to spend the extra dollar?
Great motorcycle bro
I wish Yamaha had a dash like the z650 and an app. But my new mt07 will be ready tomorrow!
OC: I agree. Either the MT07 or the MT09. I settled for the 2020 MT09 because of a little more power and the headlight on the 2021 was just not my thing lol
YO what are those lights in the aftermarket segment at 8:38 that come on under the sides of the tail section?? Never seen those before, look super sweet!
OC: I’ve loved these bikes since they were first introduced. The thing hat steered me away was hearing from several people that they were a little “wound up” for highway use and that the 09 was a better option. My commute is 45 min to 2.5 hrs depending on work location. Ended up buying a Z900 when the shopping was all said and done. There is still room in the garage to add an 07 later though!
Nice review.
OC: Definitely the MT07 is one of the top street bikes on the market and probably the best naked bike for the cost. But I'll always be a sportbike guy over having a naked bike. That said the 2021 MT07 does give me high hopes for the R7.
55 seconds in and I just need to let yall know the 2018 version is still a fkn blast!!
Yo what changes to the bike has there been over the years? Thinking of a second hand 2018 because I prefer the lime green and black colours from then.
I know it’s not the same, but I own a Tenere700. The motor is the best I have ever ridden. I’ve had Honda’s, Triumph’s, HD’s….the 689C2 engine is so sweet and works wonderfully in a mid size ADV.
After riding 600cc sports bikes and dual sports, this is my favorite bike. I have a 2018 and love it. I would trade it for an r7 though. The wind protection, brakes, suspension, slipper clutch, and looks would solve all my minors gripes. It’s probably not worth the money though, and I still love this thing.
Yeah I'll probably get a used one in a few years. Not worth the price of a new one.
I got my 2018 mt 07 yesterday, first bike. I'd say it's perfect for a rider who is experienced on 2 wheels like dirtbikes. If I jumped on this bike completely fresh no way I'd keep it. But I road mx for 10 years and it translates enough. That being said. My God is this bike fun.
I love my MT-07 one of, if not the best all round bikes ever made. No cap. Just get one and make it your own.
OC. I basically agree. haven't ridden one yet, but when it was introduced, it could be had for near or round 6 grand at times and that was a steal.
I also believe, that power wise, this engine should be plenty for 90% of on-street riding (and riders) (european perspective here. US might differ)
It's not the best motorcycle (and I own one) but it's the biggest bang for your buck right now and it's the most fun I've had since switching from super sports. This is what 600 cc super sports used to be like in the 1990's plus 10 to 20 pounds.
OC: as an MT07 owner, incredible road bike. You were pretty spot on. I will say other brands offer upside down forks and better brakes for around the same price. Yamaha should find a way to fix those but keep costs around 8k.
Will take em Another 2-3 yrs to update it tho
Its literally the only thing they needed to change since everyone mourned about it for yrs but NAAH lets just slap some LEDs and plastics and call it a day.
Cheapskates much
just get a xsr 700 there ya go
@@bustabunny1238 it doesnt have anything better tho, just the styling is different
@@shuttzi9878 the MT09 got the best treatment ever though, the 3rd gen is so good that I had to get one for myself. Proud owner of a 2021 MT09
I have one and I love it.
i agree that the mt 07 is really a good beginner bike, test drove one with little experience riding a motorcyle and my previous experience was driving a 150cc motorcycle for a few minutes. its not scary if treated with respect after i test drove it i got really confident :D
I’m so torn between the 07 and 09. The extra weight and power of the 09 would be great because I take so many long trips but the 07 is just way more fun and comfortable around town.
Did you buy either the 07 or 09?
A little pride in being a Yamaha owner myself.
I loved my 2015. I put over 50k on it the 5 years I owned it.
Can’t wait for the r7 first ride
My friend an experienced rider doesn't repeat to other people that he's an experienced rider two or three times like you did, an experienced rider usually says "I've been riding for quite a few years." and leaves it at that. I'm not an experienced rider but I can ride well enough to foresee potential accidents and evade them.
" Alot of people don't want all the extra driving modes." ABSOLUTELY. Especially when it raises the price.
Correct. I had an MT09 with three modes. I only ever used one. But the quickshifter is a deal breaker for me now - love 'em.
I test rode one loved it but my funds weren't available at that time. Wish I'd bought the MT 07 two years later instead of the Z900. Then I traded the Z900 & got a Versys 650. With enough funds I might get MT07 even though I'm getting close to 65 Y. O.
Chase, how would you compare KTM 690 SMCR to a Yamaha MT07?
Just rode my 2016 and it's still the best of 2021
Love my 2016 too
What tail light kit is that with the lights on the side flares in the back?
OC, the Yamaha 700s are simply the perfect bike for anyone, and they have a type for just about everyone 🤘
Well I’m loving mine 👍🏻
