    Putting a deposit down on 2020 MT-07 next week, before my test as well, got my theory coming up so hoping to pass that and my A2, was in a bad crash at the start of the year so it knocked the confidence as well for my test and a bike to get, watch this and ur test tips videos and surprisingly helped me with my choices and confidence with the test, hope to see u back soon mate

    Totally agree with you. Had mine for a year now, although I got the Tracer 700. So many mods you can do for a reasonable price. Easy front suspension mod available thru TEC Engineering in the UK. One of the easiest things I’ve changed! As well as that, also got a TEC exhaust, double usb point, centre stand, comfort seat, led indicators and running lights, givi engine guard, radiator protector and a winter screen. All easily fitted and all easily sourced. Great all round, do anything, go anywhere bike! And respect to you for riding in those shit conditions!!

The torque is brilliant and I don't mind the engine braking. In traffic it is not as smooth as it could be but you get used to it. Great bike.

    I had a 2016 for 5 years. Great fun bike. Bad points are as follows. Suspension is really bad, unsettled when cornering hard on slightly uneven roads. Corrosion, I bathed mine in ACF50 so I had no issues. The finishes are cheap though. Other than that I had a great time. As a 1st big bike I'd do it again. Upgraded last year to a Triumph Street Triple 765 R.

    Had a test ride on one of these when they came out. Reminded me so much of my old RDLC. Braking was incredibly better though. The main drawback though is I'm 56 and the seat was too uncomfortable and the riding position too cramped. If I was 30 I'd buy one straightaway.

    I find this bike to be perfect for what it needs to be. I love the sound and for a harley dude like me who prides their bike's fit and finish bullshit, the quality of this bike isn't that bad. The thing is, any product that comes out nowadays are obsolete in a few years so having a nicer finish isn't much of a big deal anymore since you're gonna replace that bike sooner or later anyways. Suspension wise, theres a cheap fix for it so no big deal and with regards to the top speed, i dont give a damn because too much speed ain't fun unless you're an adrenaline junkie and I'm a responsible hooligan so if its fun in 0-60, 0-100 its good enough for me.

    You have such a natural talent for UA-cam. Great personality for it! Yea I love this bike. I'm sitting with £100 in my bank ( I recently bought a gaming laptop, chair, desk and DLSR for UA-cam lol) ... and I'm trying to workout in my head HOW I can obtain this bike financially xD
    Also do you recommend this bike for a beginner (27yo) that hasn't drove a bike before? I was looking at the MT125 and MT03 but they just don't excite me as much as this I think. Anyway I'll be more than happy if you could give your take on my options. Never-the-less, its a sub from me. Keep up the stellar content.

    • @ReevyMotovlogs
      @ReevyMotovlogs  3 роки тому +1

      Firstly thank you so much for the kind comment, it’s comments like this that make me love doing UA-cam.
      Secondly, good luck with your channel hopefully the investment pays off and you enjoy it and succeed.
      For an absolute beginner I’ve seen men and women start out on this bike, I think there might be some videos on UA-cam of beginners opinions, I’d consider myself a bit of a beginner when I got this bike and from my 1+ year experience with it, it was a fairly easy bike to ride.
      Not too heavy, not crazy fast but at the same time it is very torquey, as long as you’re sensible, cautious and don’t go crazy with the throttle you should be fine, it is quite a lot of power for a beginner but you control your wrist at the end of the day, I feel like most people are smart enough to know their limit and when is a good time to go a bit crazy with it.
      MT-125 would get boring, sold mine after 3 months however it was great for starting out. MT-03 would be perfect for a beginner but once again the power would get boring fast and would make you want to upgrade to the MT-07, I feel like the MT-07 is just the best option all round.
      I do miss mine sometimes, it was a very good bike, just the suspension and brakes weren’t amazing but they did the job.
      I’d say do your test and see how you feel riding a bike, if you feel confident and you pass your test then definitely go for the MT-07 and you definitely won’t regret it.
      Just don’t worry about anything, try to be confident and just think about how much fun you’re going to have on the road once you own one. I was so nervous about my tests and finally getting a bigger bike when in reality it wasn’t really that scary or difficult to do, it was one of the most fun experiences ever to be fair.

      I've went from wanting an E-bicycle to an Electric Zero FXS motorcycle then to a 125cc petrol bike now an MT07 😂.
      UA-cam really takes you down a crazy path when you get hooked on it.... I'll probably be watching 'top 10 jetpacks you can buy' next... Or... 'Tutorial on how to create a nuclear bomb to wipe out your country'. UA-cam Really does have endless possibilities and destinations.

    On the top speed, 125mph should be plenty, no?
    Can it cruise highway at 85mph easily?

      You can prevent rust by using ACF50, my bike was a 2014 with very little rust.
      Top speed is roughly 135, more than enough :)
      For use on motorways it's very windy but can easily sit there at 85 no problem.

      I came up from a 125 to the MT-07 so the MT-07 was my first big bike, I instantly felt so much regret as if I should've just got one sooner.
      I honestly do think this bike is good for a beginner, as long as you know your limits and don't go crazy with it :)
      Forgot to mention, I've tried other big bikes and the 07 does feel less smooth (can be fixed with a tune) and feels quite snappy low end but if you go easy on the throttle it's not too bad, I'd still consider it very good for beginners.

      I got the yamaha blue 2019 MT07 for my first bike 3 years ago brand new. Never had any experience on a motorcycle other than when i did my learner licence in New Zealand on a hired bike. Never crashed it or dropped it. Had a few close calls but learnt from it. If you know how to drive a stick you should be able to figure it out fast. I watched many youtube videos and did a riding course. Number one rule keep to your limits and respect the torque this bike has or you will wheelie it very easy. Essy to ride, very nimble, gear indicator very helpful but you will eventualy stop looking at it, basic maintenance is easy to do yourself, lots of videos on youtube for doing all sorts, customise it to suit you. I do agree with the suspension being shit though but you can also change that. Its fun and i would highly recomend it if you are a person that rides responsibly until you master a few things like counter steering, throttle control, rev matching and slow speed movement. Basic stuff like that. The new triumph trident is another choice that has more to offer but priced a little bit more i think or maybe the street tripple.

    I need a little help here mate
    So I’ve been thinking about the Yamaha mt-03 lately but I’ve got informed that it’s out of stock and won’t be available until next year so the dealer told me about this Yamaha mt-07
    So this would be my third, most expensive bike yet.
    Right now I own a KTM duke 200 from 2015 but find the power barely enough.
    So all in all I’ve been hesitating between the Yamaha mt-07 and the KTM Duke 390
    Both brand new
    What’s your advice on this ?
    Thank you in advance
    Love you from Hungary 🇭🇺

    • @ReevyMotovlogs
      @ReevyMotovlogs  3 роки тому

      I’ve never had any problems with the MT-07, super reliable although I will say the build quality is a bit low for the price you pay.
      That being said, it’s still a very good bike, I’d advise using ACF-50 on the swingarms to prevent rust since that’s very common with this bike.
      You won’t regret buying the 07, plenty of power yet really good for beginners.

    • @ReevyMotovlogs
      @ReevyMotovlogs  3 роки тому +1

      Think you missed the point. The R6 is a sports bike, the MT-07 is a naked. The one thing I get a lot when I’m out is that because it’s a 700 people seem to think it’s rapid, when you compare that to an R6 you’ll see that the MT-07 isn’t rapid in comparison.
      Obviously the R6 is going to be faster anyway but the point I’m making is that it doesn’t matter if it’s a higher cc, it’s all down to bhp, torque etc and whilst the MT-07 is torquey low end, doesn’t mean it’s a crazy fast bike because of the engine size.
      But guess what, I compared them because I can, hope you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
