@ADuma-go3jk yeh for real. I ended up getting an mt03, and I can "comfortably" ride at about 80mph, if not a little on edge. But once I hit 90, I'm getting off that throttle bcs it just feels scary. Knowing you're one bad wind gust away from death 😅
I was on my MT-07 and decided I would give more throttle at the light then usual and I remember feeling light looking down and my handlebars were sideways...😅 yup that was my first ever wheelie
I must confess I own a Kawasaki Z650 that was mainly because there was a Kawasaki Dealer Near Me. But your MT-07 Sounds Mean & That Bike Saved Yamaha's Bacon some Years ago When They Were having poor Sales Figures.
Literally just picked up my MT-07 yesterday without ever knowing anything about it. First gear nearly took me to the moon. Definitely gonna be aware of that. Also the ABS is amazing on this bike! Saved me first day riding in the rain.
i got my 07 for about 2yrs now and i can't just stop riding it. really funny, easy maintenance, good amount of power where you need it for street riding, basic electronics so you can really "feel" the bike. despite the flaws (fixed by a good suspensions upgrade) this bike is pure love. enjoy it!
After owning two ZX-6Rs, a ZX-9R, a SV650, a Sportster, and a few other obscure models of bikes, I started to learn that going 150mph isn’t everything. I was happy enough going 100mph on my Sporty and I was happy enough to have the torque of my SV650 and I was happy enough going breakneck speeds on my Ninjas, but nothing comes close to comfortability and long distance capability. I remember riding 2 hours to get to a meetup, riding around all day, and then riding 2 hours back home, I could barely get off my bike and could almost cry from the pain. If I did that on an MT or any upright naked, I probably would’ve had the best day with no pain.
I don't think top speed is for me to be fair. Speed is fun but it's not very often that we'll be going at breakneck speed. All day on a naked bike is perfect for me. Obviously if you sit down on anything for long enough you'll get a numb bum but I love getting home after a long day riding and still able to walk 🤘🏻 whenever I get on a super sport I instantly cramp up as I'm not use to it 😂
You will get pain on the mt07 although a bit more up right seating pos. Prefer the tracer 7 / 700. Same bike basically but it being a sports tourer…a bit more comfy.
Aside from the bike the scenery was amazing. So beautiful, I loved the last part with the open road and just the amazing view of your country mate. Also the bike looks really fun.
Love the MT-07, got mine just over a year ago and I can't stop riding it. Another easy and cheap upgrade that I'd recommend is an R6 throttle tube specially if planning to hit some twisteis, which this bike is really competent and fun on, despite the suspension.
Love the passion in this video, you get across how much fun the MT07 is, its all about that low torque grunt. Myself im coming from an SV1000 which is known for torque and im looking for a light weight commuter to flick around and this seems to fit the exact purpose i need it for, cant wait to pop the front up on one of these.
Cheers man, means a lot. I think I will always end up going back to an MT07, it's so much fun. I've got an XSR900 at the moment and can't wait for a dry day so I can see what she can do 🤘🏻
The MT07 has a known front suspension problem. There is a static sag issue, for some riders a fork spring issue and, changing the fork oil viscosity to match rider weight, is important. The rear suspension while basic, will work when the front end is setup properly. The only other real complaint with this motorcycle is too much engine braking. That can be fixed in the ecu. Happy riding...
My wife and i bought an mt07 each as a reward for putting up with each other for 20 years. That was a little over a year ago and weve clocked nearly 25000kms already. We absolutely love em and are so happy with out choice. Weve obviously been doing a shit tonne of travelling and find them perfect for taking rhe scenic route whenevet possible but even on the freeways theyre fine. More suited for riding twisties but they do the mile munching no worries at all.
That's awesome dude. This bike is more than capable for traveling around. I think it's super cool that both of you decided on getting 07s for spending 20 years together. What a way to celebrate 🤘🏻
Thank you mate. We actually hit 21 this week and are heading 8hrs up north for afew days. We live in Australia so its not hard to rack up the miles i probably should add.
I am not even a beginner, didn’t even get my license, just driven by the madness of the early 20s and wanting to get my bike and you, sir, answered all my questions even the ones I still didn’t ask. The MT07 is what I am looking for, still mesmerized by the Z750, though. Thank you and, god bless you and your fortune.
I just picked up my MT-07 last week and I love this bike. Everything you said about why you like it, I am in total agreement. I love the torque, comfort and how light it is. I will order my muffler and tailbag and that's it. Great video. Cheers
Just purchased my blue 2024 mt-07. Won't take delivery until next week. Second Yamaha product. Very excited. I love everything about this bike. I had a 2022 cbr Honda which was fun but definitely not in the same class. And traded in my VTX Honda 1300. Also a different animal. Feel a little to old for a sport bike but this bike gives me the best of both worlds.Torque and fun. Lovely bike, could not be happier.
Switched from a 4cyl to a mt07, and the torque and sound of the mt07 is what makes me happy. With a 4cyl the fun starts @10krpm and u're running almost 100km/h after first gear. The 07 is fun until that, so it's a perfect bike for street use
when deciding on a car or now also bike i always choose fun over fast, ive talked to many owners of fast cars and a lot of them have said the same thing, "after awhile the speed gets boring" ive owned a few fun cars that were by no means fast but i would easily take over the fast cars that ive driven, so i love hearing that the MT-07 is a fun bike cause thats exactly what im looking for, thank you for making this great video man
I'm yet to ride one of those, I'm keen to try it🤘🏻 thank you for your kind words dude. I'm glad you enjoyed the video ✌🏻 Take care on that new bike when you get it 👍🏻
I’m in the same dilemma, trying to chose because sold my MT07 2014 which was so much fun but it was time to sell it. Now I’m thinking about getting the new MT or the GSX-8R .. MT07 Pure is here 7000 euros and the GSX-8R 8200 euros
I'll be getting mine in about 3 months, very excited about it, not too worried about the color or the year, so long as it's within the last 4 years, it'll be my first bike! Currently in the process of completing my motorcycle course :))
I got an mt07 as a first bike, it wasn't nearly as scary as people presented it. I heard many people say its a wheelie machine like the sv650 and ngl I straight up can't get it to wheelie unless I max it from quite low speeds (and I am trying to). I been doing wheelie training for a week now. I won't lie it took me 20 minutes to do a proper 300m wheelie where I felt like I am going to eat asphalt, incredible how high a wheelie can be and the stunt guy I asked to check my video told me that ain't even max I do love the mt07, it is nice at late night drives, it does lack the top speed but everything else is just there I rode the S1000RR and that thing flies but I will probably never buy it myself because I love the MTs 'flickable and easy' maneuverability
I’m planning on getting my license this year. I want one of these. I don’t want super sports speed. I’m confident that this will me more than enough bike for me
I started riding a bike last year and got myselfe a 2023 MT-07. Though i don't have a lot of experiance with bikes, i think it was really made for the markets of countries that have a 35kW limitation for beginners. From what i saw while riding with friends with all different kinds (GS1250, Z900, Z650, normal MT-07), it's really made to accomodate us noobies. Suspension keeps my speed for cornering in check (through that chkchkchk mentioned in the video) by not boosting confidence, but allows for accelaration on streets very much like the bigger, not power limited ones (obviously slower but not by thaaat much). And it allows me to really find out how i should control my bike. Other beginners i drove along with had the quickshifters etc... but they struggled more on handling parcours. So i understand the cons for an experianced rider, but for me as a beginner, i think it really does a good job.
My coworker has the same year just in blue with 670 miles on it he said i could take it for 5000$ im slowly starting to love these things i think im gonna buy it next year for my brithday
Thanks for the video , i didn’t try the before but i felt in love with it before anything ✨ , I just bought one 2023 model and I’m waiting to get my license to pick up my bike I’ve got the blue color 😍💙
I have a white 2018 Mt-07 and It's awesome. I'm going to switch the headlight to a modern round LED and windshield, to give it more of a Neo Cafe look. I was also thinking of adding a carbon fiber tank cover, since they are so easy to switch. I like the white though. So I'm not sure if I will.
I had a 2016 FZ-07 with the screaming yellow wheels. He was aptly named Clown Shoes. FUNNEST bike ever, wish I still had it, but enjoying my first Goldwing now.
The lack of tech on this bike is what made most people i know buy the bike so i wouldnt call it a con. Also the power its got is fast like you can go 70 max legally so there is no point in having a faster bike at that point but the rest i do agree. And if you ask me i wouldnt call that a beginner bike unless you have the a2 version.
I am just looking to buy MT07 Pure 2023 new one in Croatia it costs 8.5k euro. Will be putting Akrapovic exaust on it and comfort seat, that will bump the price to cca 10k. I have ridden one 2021 from my friend for frew months and its fun. Also I have full licence but dont need faster bike.
I love the thing, if got a faster bike now (xsr900) but love how playful the MT07 is. I'll take a fun bike over a fast bike every time. I'm waiting for warmer weather so I can have a decent play with the CP3 engine 🤘🏻
I got recommended by my mate to have a look at one of these bikes I love the look of them this is gonna probably be my first road bike to get to build up my confidence riding on the road
Next Wednesday I am hopefully finally getting my license. If I pass my test that is. I was looking at either getting an MT-07, CB650R or a CB750 Hornet. So far the MT-07 seems to be the most fun out of them all. Definitely wont be missing the Drivers Ed Z650 though. Thank you for making the video!
i want to get a motorbike license asap but since ive seen the 07 i fell in love with it, out of all the bikes i could get at the A2 powerband license, this bike has always stuck in my head as a must have in my life
I've now got something similar to the 09, revealing it next week👀. The 07 is a brilliant fun bike. I'm sure the wife will love it dude. Thanks for watching ✌🏻🫶🏻
I did my license on this bike. The wind was also something that I noticed. Already at 80km/h, it just is no longer fun to ride this bike. If I owned it, I would probably never go above 100km/h.
Hi a friend of mine has a mt07 had few go's on it and have to say I love it I am going for my full licence next month I have a yamaha vargo 750 v there but thinking of buying mt07 new love the exhaust on your bike 👍
10 more hours in and ready for the A test. Firstly drove the nc750x and fell from it. Everybody told me I should skip the mt and then I tried it. LOVED IT. I want a 2024, black one, probably pure. What I'd like as extra is safety accessories, suspension upgrade, quick shifter, handlebars, comfort seat and then exhaust.
Cheers dude. I'm sure you'll make the right choice, whatever bike you go for. If you do go for the 07, the exhaust I had in this video was a black widow 200mm carbon tip full system that cost around £330.00 🤘🏻 if that helps 🫶🏻
As a z900 owner I would definitely recommend the z900, over the z650,I have tested both, for the small differences in price you won't be disappointed by the z900 amazing bike.
Gonna make an MT07 my birthday present for my 24th lol… ofc gonna get those fast track license trainings and a bike safe course + ample time practicing in parking lots, quiet roads, or even a track. But MT07’s just seem like they are fun, have a good build quality, so they last, and are comfy enough for 2-4 hour rides - right?!
Love it dude. It might be the best birthday treat there is 😂. I've been out for many all day trips and it's perfectly fine, obviously if you're sat down on anything for too long then you'll get a numb a** 😂 if you find that you could do with a bit more comfort, you could always get the comfort seat 🤘🏻✌🏻
I am 31 years old, 185 cm tall and weigh about 95kg. Thinking of buying this one as my first bike, seeing different opinions on it. I will have to go the 35kw limit route for the license.
Being 31 you can go for a full license but I wouldn't recommend having this as a first bike. Maybe a second but it's definitely not beginner friendly if you don't have any experience riding bikes. I'd say you need at least 6-9 months on a 125-300cc class before jumping on one of these 🫶🏻
I honestly would recommend it, you get a lot for money and at the end of the day it will be on your own risk to learn with any bike. I also got my license at 27 and this was my first bike and would recommend to anyone to start with it, as I have couple of my friend who started too with this one. :)
Ty from across the pond. In the process of trading up from a Vitpilen 401 for one of these. I'll link the exhaust when I pick it up, it's crazy looking.
The only real con you'll notice is the suspension though. If the wind bothers you, put on a puig windshield, and the top speed is meh, you don't really want to ride faster on a naked bike, cause the wind will rip you off the bike.
I'm learning on this for the A unlimited licence. I had 0 experience before (except for 18 clean years of car licence), so I have nothing to compare it to and I'm probably using like 10% of it's capabilities right now. My first impressions were how sensitive/effortless everything is, something to get used to. Brakes, absolutely only with two fingers, very little effort to get it to stop. Clutch disengages very soon after it's pulled with small friction zone. Similar with throttle, light on the input. IDK how it would feel on a 350/400 which is where I hear beginners should start, maybe a bit less twitchy, but I love the real deal about it. Like, this is it. Years before I'd switch to anything more.
@@after_midnight9592 it all depends on the person. It's a perfect bike to learn on. I do tell younger people to start on something smaller because we all know how foolish people can be in their late teens and if I can help prevent others from making mistakes then I will. If you've had 18 years driving experience I'd say it will be a good starting point if you respect the power that you have at your fingertips 🤘🏻
kinda want to get the full license upcoming spring, tried getting the license 9 years ago but had 1-2 stationary wheelie when trying to ride a suzuki 650 with a superlight throttle that scared the heck out of me :P
I'm in the US, in Florida specifically. I've had an mt-03 for about a year and a half now. I absolutely love it, but I feel like I can handle something a bit bigger, so I'm upgrading to an mt-07 very soon, and this video just confirms it for me. Thank you. One more thing, how and why do you make it pop like that?.
I have driven and still am driving 2017 MT-07 and can say the suspension is by far worst, I cant even honestly think any other bike that have worse suspension than this model. The seating position for me, personally is also much worse and and agree on the fact that the wind even makes it worse, my legs after 30min of ride is numb and Im 6’4 😅 But honestly its most fun bike to start learning as you mentioned, it is by far most nimble little crotch rocket you can sit on and if you got anything aftermarket exhaust it will leave impression to everyone. So imho, its a best option for starter bike, but not who has more expierence unless you can swap suspension and arent too long-legged.
@@Frip36 it is not adjustable at all besides back one for height, and standart forks are most cheapest and done incorrectly. Dave Moss has covered this topix on this specific bike too. You either need to shorten front forks and change oil or buy aftermarket ones.
My biggest complaint about the MT-07 is that you cannot turn off ABS. I like that they included it for general riding, but you should be able to turn it off. The only way to turn it off is to remove the fuse.
10:34 I have a 2022 full power, black, full Akra exhaust, tail tidy, puig gen2 sport screen and most important of all professionally installed full suspension upgrade. You said in your video about ride and handling well you should try this bike now, it's a whole different ball game.
@@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogs makes am amazing difference yeah? Here in NZ the roads we ride on are crap and a lot of twists and turns around where i live, ideal for this bike and with new suspension its great fun.
Late to the video here, but I see less tech as a plus honestly. If anything were to ever happen with the bike be it falling or internal issues, at least there isn't a shitload of wires and tech stuff that can break. Or that has to replaced because something else is done for and you're forced to replace both part X and Y otherwise it won't work. Also cheaper repairs/maintenance without all the extra work on tech
Nice review! I have the 2015 FZ07 in the USA. Racetech Springs & Gold Valves fixed the forks. Penske rear shock. Next came an Akra Ti slip-on exhaust, "Hordpower Airbox", and dyno-tuned with a Power commander 5. Took 68Hp to 78Hp. Can you say MORE wheelies? :-)
Seems like the perfect bike if you are one of those people that don’t want to get a 3-400 as there first bike and want a lil more power but aren’t going to get out of hand
@@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogsyou might have swapped my mind from going for a MT-07. I wanted to go for an R7 before, but its also much more expensive and the same engine
@@StanDeMan2001 you'd be more comfortable on longer rides if you got for the MT but if you want a bike that has better suspension for the corners then the R7 might be better for you. Try them both out to get a feel for them 🤘🏻
Thinking about getting one soon trying to decide between the MTO7 and Kawasaki Eliminator 450 would be my first bike. I took the MSF course recently and found the MTO3 to be nice and fun, but just a little small for my height. Your video has me more swayed towards a MTO7 though.
It's a way to make the exhaust backfire on command but it's not healthy for the bike so don't do it dude. It's a bad habit I had when I made this video 🤘🏻
Hi man, perfect mt07 video review! I'm riding same bike as you and I have some questions :).. 1. What handlebar are you using, how wide is it? Looks like it's little bit wider than that standard silver handlebar 2. Pop and bangs with engine start button are working out of the box? How to do it? 😁😁
Cheers my dude. I happy to help with your questions. The bars are protaper evo Carmichael bars, I'm not 100% sure on what the size is but I'm sure the dimensions are listed online somewhere. As for your second question, it worked as soon as I changed the exhaust but I wouldn't recommend doing it as it's not healthy for the bike apparently 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@primarqo one of the best cheap mods you can do. They are a fair amount wider so just be careful once you've done it because it'll impact the handling of the bike. You'll be fine but just be aware that when you turn it'll be different 🤘🏻
Since I've posted this bud, my Mt was stolen while I was at work. I've got an xsr900 now. Come to the coach and horses when they start the bike night again. I post on Instagram when I meet up with local riders and usually meet up there 🤘🏻
I love my 2021 Mt-07 i got it brand new back in 21 and love the piss out of it. Iv rode R6's and even liter bikes nothing compares to the fun of the Mt-07 and now a few of my friends have them as well. They are 100% a hooligan bike with a group haha.
@@S0n11x My suspension is still factory. Only things i have done it swap my bars to 7/8th renthal street bars, Pro taper pillow top grips and a Impactech 1 finger clutch level and adjustable front brake level. other than that all factory. Oh and my fender delete kit from tst and tail light and turn signals.
perfect word for it....Hooligan bike....that's how i ride too.....I pass everyone whenever i want....ppl can tell....i don't give a shit....i do as i please....
I've got a '23 790 Duke and have been able to ride a couple of friend's MT07s (as well as a '22 MT09 and '22 XSR900) after the fact. Not one of those bikes made me feel like I made the wrong decision. Considering both the MT07 and 790 currently have about the same MSRP right now, I'd be hard pressed to recommend the MT07 for any reason other than reliability unless they finally update the bike or lower the price.
I would also echo this and that is why I too went with KTM. Yamaha isn't brave enough to add features to their A2 range, since it feels that it would cannibalize MT09 sales. Many buy 09 for the superior suspension and not for additional power over 07. KTM added WP Apex suspension to 390 and 2024 MT07 is still without a fully adjustable shock. Looks like my next is KTM 890 if MT09SP haggling isn't good enough 😜
I'm considering between the Ninja 650 and MT07. This video was super helpful for a good perspective. I like the looks of the Ninja however the extra power of the MT07 seems like it makes it more fun.
What about installing a ECU , sprockets, gear ratios, crankshaft, that would help a lot, it would be a game changer. I did it on my son bike that has a Yamaha sniper 155cc and now it has 225 cc after modifications, if done on the MT07 you would love it.
The Yamaha MT07 is such a fascinating bike! It's great to see a discussion about the key considerations before making a purchase. This model has quite a reputation for its balance between performance and comfort. What do you think stands out most about the MT07 compared to other bikes in its category?
The main thing to me personally is how light and flickable it is. It's hugely confidence inspiring to people upgrading from a smaller bike and so much fun. Always puts a huge smile on people's faces when riding it 🤘🏻
all the torque in the lower gears.....go through the gears....you hit 6th you're going probably 70 & you have a BIG grin on your face.....It feels so good & powerful......It just hits a "sweet spot"......
It being cheap is not an excuse for bouncy suspension, that's just poor tuning. The 2014 MT-07 suffered from the same problem. My pitbike which cost a 5th of the price has nice suspension even though it's just £65 for brand new forks.
I'm looking to get one on a new reg for 1st March, I'm just down the road from the new forest and can't wait to start exploring it on two wheels instead of four.
I've spend every night watching videos and listening to different exhausts, think I may be going the Delkevic route or Black Widow. Pretty sure I'll be happy with either. @@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogs
Cheers my dude. I'm excited for you! Have you been on it yet?👀👀 I'm sure you'll do just fine dude. You're going to be in love with the thing 🫶🏻 that bike is pure joy 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I have the exact same bike and absolutely love it! Hoping to murder it out as well. Currently have a full m4-rm1 exhaust, snorkel delete, tst tail tidy, and r6 throttle tube (favorite mod after exhaust). I’m planning to get the bike flashed from 2wdw and hopefully make it run smoother, and get some evotech levers.
@@stonesaquatichomes6825 It's when you manipulate the ECU to make it run to your preferences. Bikes come out stock standard, and just like we have to adjust shocks to suit our weight and riding style, changing the computer can provide a more tailored experience.
@@ysoholinav8315 thanks for stopping by dude. Flicking the kill switch while the bike is running makes the exhaust backfire on command but it's not healthy for the bike so I recommend you don't do it 🤘🏻
Excellent video, helped my decision immensely… Quick question though, what is the red button you keep hitting on your right thumb? Doesn’t seem to be changing your gears, so can’t figure it out?
Being a total noob I wonder what you're doing with the red Start/Stop button on the right handle bar as you make the it pop and bang? Do I just imagine that?
@@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogs Love the riding position and the general look of the bike. Never thought an MT would sound so good with the Black Widow. Also wish I could wheelie, yours are really well controlled.
Love the video, great source of information. I drive an hour for work and I'm usually around 70-75 mph. I sold the R7 because it was not comfortable for long rides. I'm in-between a 2024 MT07 or a 2023 Yamaha Bolt thoughts?
Cheers my dude. The R7 seating position is a bit more uncomfortable than the MT. I found the seat perfectly comfortable on my 22 plate 07. I've not had any experience with the Bolt but what I do know is that I cramp up whenever I get on cruisers 😂 but they are known to be comfortable for longer rides so that might be your best bet dude🤘🏻
Mt07 being capped at 130 is a con but low-key a pro too. A little less likely to fkn die bcs of stupid decisions 💀
Unfortunately that's why I don't upgrade from mine
Agreed, got mine up to 131 and it seemed like I was going way faster
I saw this thougjt u was talking kph for some dumb reason and then I realised i was stupid…I don’t need to go past 200 on a street bike lol
Agreed, how much faster than 130mph does someone need to be?
@ADuma-go3jk yeh for real. I ended up getting an mt03, and I can "comfortably" ride at about 80mph, if not a little on edge. But once I hit 90, I'm getting off that throttle bcs it just feels scary. Knowing you're one bad wind gust away from death 😅
I was on my MT-07 and decided I would give more throttle at the light then usual and I remember feeling light looking down and my handlebars were sideways...😅 yup that was my first ever wheelie
As long as you landed it safely my dude🤘🏻🤘🏻
😅😂Nice
I must confess I own a Kawasaki Z650 that was mainly because there was a Kawasaki Dealer Near Me. But your MT-07 Sounds Mean & That Bike Saved Yamaha's Bacon some Years ago When They Were having poor Sales Figures.
@jefflambert8603 for what the bike is it sounds so good reminds me of the r1 how it crackles
Wheelied on my mt03. Bike got some torque that’s for sure 😅
Literally just picked up my MT-07 yesterday without ever knowing anything about it. First gear nearly took me to the moon. Definitely gonna be aware of that. Also the ABS is amazing on this bike! Saved me first day riding in the rain.
Just go careful bud, it can surprise you if you're not paying attention 🤘🏻
Hey...congrats...👏🏻
How is now? Do you have any issues with it ?
Thanks be safe 💐
@@abdulazizsaleh8650 no issues but too much power for me, ill go for a 600cc or less next time.
I got mine today and i am so excited to throw some gears
Got mine a month ago with my license, same edition 2022, all black and it's just hell of a lot of fun!! 100% would recommend this bike to anyone.
i was thinking to get it...
as an American, i had so much anxiety watching the cars on the opposite side of the road and i felt like you were about to die every single time lol
😂😂
😂
Same, cheers from Finland 🍺
Getting my license this spring and I've looked a lot towards this bike! Thanks for the vid mate, I feel more reasured to get this now!
Glad I could help dude. I know you'll love it 🤘🏻 enjoy it and be safe one it bud✌🏻
Be careful on a 700cc bike. I wouldn’t recommend going higher than 400cc for your first bike unless its power is restricted.
Your first bike should not be an MT07, get the 03 and after a year and 5k+ miles upgrade. And practice your low speed drills.
@@shukun-luxxy its a 650cc im pretty sure
i got my 07 for about 2yrs now and i can't just stop riding it. really funny, easy maintenance, good amount of power where you need it for street riding, basic electronics so you can really "feel" the bike. despite the flaws (fixed by a good suspensions upgrade) this bike is pure love. enjoy it!
I agree, I'll always have a soft spot for the mt07. It's such a fun bike 🤘🏻
if its cold out like 5celcius the front end feels better in the summer its a pogostick if you try to breake hard
which suspension did you get?
I got an ohlins shock + adjustable andreani misano evo cartridges
the suspension upgrade will set you back as much as upgrading to an MT-09 which already has Ohlin's...
After owning two ZX-6Rs, a ZX-9R, a SV650, a Sportster, and a few other obscure models of bikes, I started to learn that going 150mph isn’t everything.

You will get pain on the mt07 although a bit more up right seating pos.
Prefer the tracer 7 / 700. Same bike basically but it being a sports tourer…a bit more comfy.
@@VeniVidiAjaxI'd like to be more comfy too. But tracer 7 has a 835mm seat height. I'm too short for that.
Aside from the bike the scenery was amazing. So beautiful, I loved the last part with the open road and just the amazing view of your country mate. Also the bike looks really fun.
It's a beautiful area to explore on a bike. I took it for granted living here until I got a bike. I love it 🤘🏻
I always think of how many people died there on those open field considering Great Britains medieval history lol
@@orwellianyoutube8978There's history everywhere here in the UK. We tend to take it for granted sometimes, and we shouldn't.
@@themotorider1 absolutely, its very interesting and I love medieval history. Not that I would want to live in those times, but its so fascinating
Love the MT-07, got mine just over a year ago and I can't stop riding it.
Another easy and cheap upgrade that I'd recommend is an R6 throttle tube specially if planning to hit some twisteis, which this bike is really competent and fun on, despite the suspension.
Couldn't agree with you more dude 🤘🏻
Love the passion in this video, you get across how much fun the MT07 is, its all about that low torque grunt. Myself im coming from an SV1000 which is known for torque and im looking for a light weight commuter to flick around and this seems to fit the exact purpose i need it for, cant wait to pop the front up on one of these.
Cheers man, means a lot. I think I will always end up going back to an MT07, it's so much fun. I've got an XSR900 at the moment and can't wait for a dry day so I can see what she can do 🤘🏻
@@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogsI’m looking at the XSR700 and the MT07, can’t decide🎉

Why are people whining about the wind, it’s a damn motorcycle
on my 2022 MT07 i added a mid size Puig windscreen....it helps & it looks COOL AF...!!!
I ride it for the wind
Exactly
The MT07 has a known front suspension problem. There is a static sag issue, for some riders a fork spring issue and, changing the fork oil viscosity to match rider weight, is important. The rear suspension while basic, will work when the front end is setup properly.
The only other real complaint with this motorcycle is too much engine braking. That can be fixed in the ecu. Happy riding...
My wife and i bought an mt07 each as a reward for putting up with each other for 20 years. That was a little over a year ago and weve clocked nearly 25000kms already. We absolutely love em and are so happy with out choice. Weve obviously been doing a shit tonne of travelling and find them perfect for taking rhe scenic route whenevet possible but even on the freeways theyre fine. More suited for riding twisties but they do the mile munching no worries at all.
That's awesome dude. This bike is more than capable for traveling around. I think it's super cool that both of you decided on getting 07s for spending 20 years together. What a way to celebrate 🤘🏻
Thank you mate. We actually hit 21 this week and are heading 8hrs up north for afew days. We live in Australia so its not hard to rack up the miles i probably should add.

Right on dude 🤘🏻 you've made a very good choice. I'm glad you liked the video 🤗 Cheers for watching
Just purchased my blue 2024 mt-07. Won't take delivery until next week. Second Yamaha product. Very excited. I love everything about this bike. I had a 2022 cbr Honda which was fun but definitely not in the same class. And traded in my VTX Honda 1300. Also a different animal. Feel a little to old for a sport bike but this bike gives me the best of both worlds.Torque and fun. Lovely bike, could not be happier.
Switched from a 4cyl to a mt07, and the torque and sound of the mt07 is what makes me happy. With a 4cyl the fun starts @10krpm and u're running almost 100km/h after first gear. The 07 is fun until that, so it's a perfect bike for street use
I agree, you don't always need top end power for street. Perfect little street bike 🤘🏻
the fun starts already after 5k rpm man.
I passed my licence on the 12th and im picking up my 2021 mt07 Saturday and i cant wait 🎉
@@JenniferJenkins-f9k congratulations dude. You're going to love it 🤘🏻
when deciding on a car or now also bike i always choose fun over fast, ive talked to many owners of fast cars and a lot of them have said the same thing, "after awhile the speed gets boring" ive owned a few fun cars that were by no means fast but i would easily take over the fast cars that ive driven, so i love hearing that the MT-07 is a fun bike cause thats exactly what im looking for, thank you for making this great video man
Cheers my man 🤘🏻 I'll take fun over fast any day too 💪🏻
I'll most likely get a Suzuki Gsx-8r but I really enjoyed your video. Love the sound, the beautiful view, and the way you talk. Thanks!
I'm yet to ride one of those, I'm keen to try it🤘🏻 thank you for your kind words dude. I'm glad you enjoyed the video ✌🏻 Take care on that new bike when you get it 👍🏻
I’m in the same dilemma, trying to chose because sold my MT07 2014 which was so much fun but it was time to sell it. Now I’m thinking about getting the new MT or the GSX-8R .. MT07 Pure is here 7000 euros and the GSX-8R 8200 euros
I sat on a gsx8r then a gsxr1000 and the 1000 actually felt lighter. Then I looked up specs and it actually is!
I'll be getting mine in about 3 months, very excited about it, not too worried about the color or the year, so long as it's within the last 4 years, it'll be my first bike! Currently in the process of completing my motorcycle course :))
Nice dude, you will love it so much 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 enjoy it and be safe dude ✌🏻
What happened dude hope you bought it
@@3_sb bought it and died on it
I got an mt07 as a first bike, it wasn't nearly as scary as people presented it. I heard many people say its a wheelie machine like the sv650 and ngl I straight up can't get it to wheelie unless I max it from quite low speeds (and I am trying to). I been doing wheelie training for a week now. I won't lie it took me 20 minutes to do a proper 300m wheelie where I felt like I am going to eat asphalt, incredible how high a wheelie can be and the stunt guy I asked to check my video told me that ain't even max
I do love the mt07, it is nice at late night drives, it does lack the top speed but everything else is just there
I rode the S1000RR and that thing flies but I will probably never buy it myself because I love the MTs 'flickable and easy' maneuverability

I’m planning on getting my license this year. I want one of these. I don’t want super sports speed. I’m confident that this will me more than enough bike for me
Fair play dude. I'm confident that you'll love it whole heartedly 🤘🏻
215km an hour is more than enough.
I started riding a bike last year and got myselfe a 2023 MT-07. Though i don't have a lot of experiance with bikes, i think it was really made for the markets of countries that have a 35kW limitation for beginners. From what i saw while riding with friends with all different kinds (GS1250, Z900, Z650, normal MT-07), it's really made to accomodate us noobies. Suspension keeps my speed for cornering in check (through that chkchkchk mentioned in the video) by not boosting confidence, but allows for accelaration on streets very much like the bigger, not power limited ones (obviously slower but not by thaaat much). And it allows me to really find out how i should control my bike. Other beginners i drove along with had the quickshifters etc... but they struggled more on handling parcours. So i understand the cons for an experianced rider, but for me as a beginner, i think it really does a good job.
If I could I'd always have an 07 in my garage 🤘🏻
My coworker has the same year just in blue with 670 miles on it he said i could take it for 5000$ im slowly starting to love these things i think im gonna buy it next year for my brithday

I have a white 2018 Mt-07 and It's awesome. I'm going to switch the headlight to a modern round LED and windshield, to give it more of a Neo Cafe look. I was also thinking of adding a carbon fiber tank cover, since they are so easy to switch. I like the white though. So I'm not sure if I will.
I had a 2016 FZ-07 with the screaming yellow wheels. He was aptly named Clown Shoes. FUNNEST bike ever, wish I still had it, but enjoying my first Goldwing now.

@@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogs I'm writing about it. Like a link?
@@RidingJessicaRabbitsure dude 🤘🏻
The lack of tech on this bike is what made most people i know buy the bike so i wouldnt call it a con. Also the power its got is fast like you can go 70 max legally so there is no point in having a faster bike at that point but the rest i do agree. And if you ask me i wouldnt call that a beginner bike unless you have the a2 version.
I am just looking to buy MT07 Pure 2023 new one in Croatia it costs 8.5k euro. Will be putting Akrapovic exaust on it and comfort seat, that will bump the price to cca 10k. I have ridden one 2021 from my friend for frew months and its fun. Also I have full licence but dont need faster bike.
I love the thing, if got a faster bike now (xsr900) but love how playful the MT07 is. I'll take a fun bike over a fast bike every time. I'm waiting for warmer weather so I can have a decent play with the CP3 engine 🤘🏻
I got recommended by my mate to have a look at one of these bikes I love the look of them this is gonna probably be my first road bike to get to build up my confidence riding on the road

Next Wednesday I am hopefully finally getting my license. If I pass my test that is.
I was looking at either getting an MT-07, CB650R or a CB750 Hornet. So far the MT-07 seems to be the most fun out of them all. Definitely wont be missing the Drivers Ed Z650 though.

Gonna make an MT07 my birthday present for my 24th lol… ofc gonna get those fast track license trainings and a bike safe course + ample time practicing in parking lots, quiet roads, or even a track. But MT07’s just seem like they are fun, have a good build quality, so they last, and are comfy enough for 2-4 hour rides - right?!

I am 31 years old, 185 cm tall and weigh about 95kg. Thinking of buying this one as my first bike, seeing different opinions on it. I will have to go the 35kw limit route for the license.
Being 31 you can go for a full license but I wouldn't recommend having this as a first bike. Maybe a second but it's definitely not beginner friendly if you don't have any experience riding bikes. I'd say you need at least 6-9 months on a 125-300cc class before jumping on one of these 🫶🏻
I honestly would recommend it, you get a lot for money and at the end of the day it will be on your own risk to learn with any bike.
I also got my license at 27 and this was my first bike and would recommend to anyone to start with it, as I have couple of my friend who started too with this one. :)
Ty from across the pond. In the process of trading up from a Vitpilen 401 for one of these. I'll link the exhaust when I pick it up, it's crazy looking.

Just bought a new 2024 mt 07 midnight cyan. Love this bike.
The only real con you'll notice is the suspension though. If the wind bothers you, put on a puig windshield, and the top speed is meh, you don't really want to ride faster on a naked bike, cause the wind will rip you off the bike.
i have a Puig mid size windscreen on my 2022 MT07....It helps & looks cool AF
I'm learning on this for the A unlimited licence. I had 0 experience before (except for 18 clean years of car licence), so I have nothing to compare it to and I'm probably using like 10% of it's capabilities right now.
My first impressions were how sensitive/effortless everything is, something to get used to.
Brakes, absolutely only with two fingers, very little effort to get it to stop.
Clutch disengages very soon after it's pulled with small friction zone.
Similar with throttle, light on the input.
IDK how it would feel on a 350/400 which is where I hear beginners should start, maybe a bit less twitchy, but I love the real deal about it. Like, this is it. Years before I'd switch to anything more.
@@after_midnight9592 it all depends on the person. It's a perfect bike to learn on. I do tell younger people to start on something smaller because we all know how foolish people can be in their late teens and if I can help prevent others from making mistakes then I will. If you've had 18 years driving experience I'd say it will be a good starting point if you respect the power that you have at your fingertips 🤘🏻

I have driven and still am driving 2017 MT-07 and can say the suspension is by far worst, I cant even honestly think any other bike that have worse suspension than this model.
The seating position for me, personally is also much worse and and agree on the fact that the wind even makes it worse, my legs after 30min of ride is numb and Im 6’4 😅
But honestly its most fun bike to start learning as you mentioned, it is by far most nimble little crotch rocket you can sit on and if you got anything aftermarket exhaust it will leave impression to everyone.
So imho, its a best option for starter bike, but not who has more expierence unless you can swap suspension and arent too long-legged.
Isn't the suspension flexy because it makes rough roads feel smoother?
@@Frip36 it is not adjustable at all besides back one for height, and standart forks are most cheapest and done incorrectly. Dave Moss has covered this topix on this specific bike too.
You either need to shorten front forks and change oil or buy aftermarket ones.
My biggest complaint about the MT-07 is that you cannot turn off ABS. I like that they included it for general riding, but you should be able to turn it off. The only way to turn it off is to remove the fuse.
Yeah man it is annoying. It would be cool to turn that off to do some rolling burnouts 🤘🏻

Late to the video here, but I see less tech as a plus honestly. If anything were to ever happen with the bike be it falling or internal issues, at least there isn't a shitload of wires and tech stuff that can break. Or that has to replaced because something else is done for and you're forced to replace both part X and Y otherwise it won't work. Also cheaper repairs/maintenance without all the extra work on tech
Nice review!
I have the 2015 FZ07 in the USA. Racetech Springs & Gold Valves fixed the forks. Penske rear shock. Next came an Akra Ti slip-on exhaust, "Hordpower Airbox", and dyno-tuned with a Power commander 5. Took 68Hp to 78Hp. Can you say MORE wheelies? :-)
Seems like the perfect bike if you are one of those people that don’t want to get a 3-400 as there first bike and want a lil more power but aren’t going to get out of hand
Oh believe me, this bike can definitely become out of hand 😂
Why do you keep switching ur kill switch on and off? I’m confused
The bouncy suspension needs to be calibrated and the weight of the oil in the forks changed to 15w or 20w depending on your weight.

Thinking about getting one soon trying to decide between the MTO7 and Kawasaki Eliminator 450 would be my first bike. I took the MSF course recently and found the MTO3 to be nice and fun, but just a little small for my height. Your video has me more swayed towards a MTO7 though.
I have a Z650 and I believe it is pretty similar to how the mt07 handles when it comes to torque and maneuverability
It's very punchy and feels like a BMX with an engine if that makes any sense 👌

hey a quick question, what do you do with the power button when braking?? What's it for? Great vid btw.

Cheers my dude. I happy to help with your questions. The bars are protaper evo Carmichael bars, I'm not 100% sure on what the size is but I'm sure the dimensions are listed online somewhere.

I've got a '23 790 Duke and have been able to ride a couple of friend's MT07s (as well as a '22 MT09 and '22 XSR900) after the fact. Not one of those bikes made me feel like I made the wrong decision. Considering both the MT07 and 790 currently have about the same MSRP right now, I'd be hard pressed to recommend the MT07 for any reason other than reliability unless they finally update the bike or lower the price.
I haven't had a go on any of the dukes. They seem like a lot of fun. I think the MT07 would be awesome with a few more features 🤘🏻
I would also echo this and that is why I too went with KTM.
Yamaha isn't brave enough to add features to their A2 range, since it feels that it would cannibalize MT09 sales. Many buy 09 for the superior suspension and not for additional power over 07. KTM added WP Apex suspension to 390 and 2024 MT07 is still without a fully adjustable shock. Looks like my next is KTM 890 if MT09SP haggling isn't good enough 😜
I'm considering between the Ninja 650 and MT07. This video was super helpful for a good perspective. I like the looks of the Ninja however the extra power of the MT07 seems like it makes it more fun.
I'm sure you'll have the time of your life on either of those two bikes dude. I'm glad you found the video helpful 🤘🏻
Take a CB650R man, that's the real deal.
What about installing a ECU , sprockets, gear ratios, crankshaft, that would help a lot, it would be a game changer. I did it on my son bike that has a Yamaha sniper 155cc and now it has 225 cc after modifications, if done on the MT07 you would love it.
My 2020 mt09 rear shock was soft so I got a zx6r shock from eBay and switched it out and night and day difference
The Yamaha MT07 is such a fascinating bike! It's great to see a discussion about the key considerations before making a purchase. This model has quite a reputation for its balance between performance and comfort. What do you think stands out most about the MT07 compared to other bikes in its category?
The main thing to me personally is how light and flickable it is. It's hugely confidence inspiring to people upgrading from a smaller bike and so much fun. Always puts a huge smile on people's faces when riding it 🤘🏻
all the torque in the lower gears.....go through the gears....you hit 6th you're going probably 70 & you have a BIG grin on your face.....It feels so good & powerful......It just hits a "sweet spot"......

It's amazing, bought it as my first but I got used to the power way too fast, I wish I had bought a more powerful bike.
It being cheap is not an excuse for bouncy suspension, that's just poor tuning. The 2014 MT-07 suffered from the same problem. My pitbike which cost a 5th of the price has nice suspension even though it's just £65 for brand new forks.
I’m debating between this and the z500 SE, they both seem like such good bikes
@@4ozSniper test them both out if you can dude. Whatever one makes you smile and giggle more, get that 🤘🏻
I'm looking to get one on a new reg for 1st March, I'm just down the road from the new forest and can't wait to start exploring it on two wheels instead of four.
You'll love it dude, just get an exhaust on it otherwise you won't feel that impressed by the sound. Trust me 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I've spend every night watching videos and listening to different exhausts, think I may be going the Delkevic route or Black Widow. Pretty sure I'll be happy with either.

@@KipDingo I did the same thing dude 😂 you'll be loving it my dude. I'm excited for you 🤘🏻
Good review, I have a 2022 also. and have a blast on mine 👍🏻
@@william.mpratt7416 cheers my man 🤘🏻
Nice video man! Bought an MT07 2019 three weeks ago. On Tuesday I have my final test and hopefully I pass so I can go on nutz on Tuesday (:
Cheers my dude. I'm excited for you! Have you been on it yet?👀👀 I'm sure you'll do just fine dude. You're going to be in love with the thing 🫶🏻 that bike is pure joy 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I have the exact same bike and absolutely love it! Hoping to murder it out as well. Currently have a full m4-rm1 exhaust, snorkel delete, tst tail tidy, and r6 throttle tube (favorite mod after exhaust).
I’m planning to get the bike flashed from 2wdw and hopefully make it run smoother, and get some evotech levers.
The list is never ending 😂 we always find new things to add to our beloved toys
Sorry for my ignorance but what do you mean by getting the bike flashed?
@@stonesaquatichomes6825 It's when you manipulate the ECU to make it run to your preferences. Bikes come out stock standard, and just like we have to adjust shocks to suit our weight and riding style, changing the computer can provide a more tailored experience.
Really nice video I might buy one in some days. Thanks!
Btw what are you doing with the start button ?
@@ysoholinav8315 thanks for stopping by dude. Flicking the kill switch while the bike is running makes the exhaust backfire on command but it's not healthy for the bike so I recommend you don't do it 🤘🏻
@@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogs thank you for your response !
@@ysoholinav8315 my please dude 🤘🏻
Im curious why are you using the engine cut off switch around 8:00?
Install of watching the bick..i was starting at the areas around you... beautiful scenery 👌🏻....
Thanks for Sharing 👏🏻🏅
@@abdulazizsaleh8650 thank you for watching 🤘🏻
Great video, helped with my descision
Cheers for watching my dude 🤘🏻
Enjoyed it 👌. And now I'm waiting for this to launch in India
Cheers man. When does it launch?
Going to try to get one today bro🤙🏽first bike!
Just go careful dude. If it's your first bike, it can be very dangerous. Just go easy 🤘🏻
Excellent video, helped my decision immensely…
Quick question though, what is the red button you keep hitting on your right thumb?
Doesn’t seem to be changing your gears, so can’t figure it out?
Being a total noob I wonder what you're doing with the red Start/Stop button on the right handle bar as you make the it pop and bang? Do I just imagine that?
“You can definitely feel the bike go dzk dzk dzk dzk ….” (2:28) 😂 best kind of an explanation for a non-expert!
@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogs Nice video, really well presented. Loving my MT07 so far, gonna have to get a Black Widow, yours sounds mint.
Cheers man, what's your favourite thing about you 07 so far? I'd recommend a black widow any day dude 🤘🏻
@@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogs Love the riding position and the general look of the bike. Never thought an MT would sound so good with the Black Widow. Also wish I could wheelie, yours are really well controlled.
@@5davi524 all it takes is some practice dude. If you want something hard enough, you'll achieve it 🤘🏻
Love the video, great source of information. I drive an hour for work and I'm usually around 70-75 mph. I sold the R7 because it was not comfortable for long rides. I'm in-between a 2024 MT07 or a 2023 Yamaha Bolt thoughts?
Cheers my dude. The R7 seating position is a bit more uncomfortable than the MT. I found the seat perfectly comfortable on my 22 plate 07. I've not had any experience with the Bolt but what I do know is that I cramp up whenever I get on cruisers 😂 but they are known to be comfortable for longer rides so that might be your best bet dude🤘🏻
@@FrazerAndrewsMotoVlogs Thank you
