Given that both share the same platform Yamaha should do an MT07 SP with the upside-down forks and the better brake master cylinder of the R7. I bet a lot of naked bike fans would be willing to pay the premium for a better suspension on the MT07.
@@DeliPlays I'm a 190lbs dude and have no problems riding the mt07 the suspension is fine. it's may be a problem if you're a professional racer and looking to pushing it to it limit.
@@kevinlugonzbi6005 No I think he's right from a marketing perspective. They left the perfect hole in the pricing model for it to be just as you said, Mt-07 SP $500-700 more than base. Still $500-700 cheaper than the R7 and like $900-1100 cheaper than an R9. (If my math is ok) Could be very smart of them to do. MT-07 without the weak link of that soft fork might sell great. People that dgaf about suspension will still buy the base model of course.
Recently bought MT07, waiting for delivery currently. The seating position is way more comfortable for me than on the R7, which is also an amazing bike by the way.
I picked up my 2021 MT-07 2 days and it was the best decision of my life. Already slapped a blackwidow full exhaust system on there with a 270mm can and it sounds phenomenal gargles, pops, bangs n all 😁
The last video i saw of you was showing how to rotate a bike on a kickstand. I remember the red gloves and red helmet combo. You've come a long way! Happy to see that the channel has grown so much! Wish you the best! Ride safe!
Love my Mt07 but sometimes being a naked bike does beat you up on the highway. Having that wind protection on the r7 would be nice but idk if i could get away from the naked style. Such a fun bike to rip around the city.
@@brucearena I have a windscreen. Helps a bit but nothing like a full fairing sports bike. If I gotta go on the highway I take my r6 for that wind protection
I'm whipping a Benelli TNT135 this year as my first bike. At 5'5 I'm having the hardest time coping with the fact I can only flat-foot like 3 bikes that are 300-700cc 😥 all the best bikes are an inch or 2 too tall
I’m 5’6” on a 890R. Don’t allow anything to keep you from doing what you want. Went from a CbR250 to a 390 Duke, Street Triple 675 R, 790 Duke and now a 890R.
I picked up a 2006 cbr 600 f4i this past weekend, I can tip toe to get me going. But geez, the weight being up high really throws me off. Nearly dropped it a few times, don't even get me started on trying to back it up either. Already looking into lowering links
Lol "Gague" Cluster xD Great video as per usual Chase!! OC! I think I'm still leaning to the MT07 because it's a peppy chilling bike. You can rip when you want to and cruise without pinning the throttle every gear.
Guys this is just a suggestion but you guys can check and make a video of what parts are compatible with the emit-07 from the R7. I believe a lot of people will be interested in upgrading there mt07 from R7 parts. Great video and content as always!
I love my MT10SP, but it's just a licence killer. The T7 is fun, fast enough and the cp2 is a really good engine. I want to make a test ride on the R7, maybe it's a better decision to keep my licence. Riding a slow bike fast is way more fun than riding a fast bike slow.
OC - First off, heal plates do not add any rigidity to the frame, just makes it to where you cant put your foot in the chain while riding. Already have an fz07 adventure bike, I love it, 24k miles now.
OC: Definitely R7 for me. I’m not a naked fan because of the lack of wind protection. I’m looking forward to try out the seating position on the R7. Thanks for a technical comparison 🤘
I'm disappointed Yamaha chose to make the R7's ride similar to the old R6 or current R1. They easily could have kept the R7 comfortable like the MT-07. Middleweight sport bikes in the 1990's were comfortable bikes to ride even on long distances (e.g. Honda CBR600 F3 and Yamaha FZR600). They were also much heavier as well. I suppose Yamaha had to keep the R7 from taking sales away from the MT-07. If I was offered a high-performance and comfortable R7, I'd skip the MT-07 and spend the extra money.
I have both I love Yamaha’s I have a r7,MTO7,a Indian chief bobber I love every one for different reasons the MTO7 is for going on a cruise to the beach the Yamaha r7 is for when I go to the track and the bobber is for LONG rides
OC: I had the 2015 FZ-07. Absolutely loved it but was terrified going over 100 mph as it would shake and so much wind would hit me. I would’ve put a windshield but it would look dumb. Personally I think the R7 is perfect, just has more of a top speed and a windshield you can tuck behind. Also better suspension and a slipper clutch would be nice. I track an R3 and would love to test out my own R7. R7 for me.
OC: I purchased an R7, been waiting for this kind of bike for a while now, not as fast/heavy as an R6 but faster than an R3, I think this is the sweetspot for me! Huge Yamaha fan
@@gerardohurtado3394 the riding position is awful my ass is higher than my hands when I sit on it and it feels very top heavy. Even the seat hight is really high up. Don't think it's heavy just feels heavy.
@@Palcious Lookssure but its also functional aero on the racetrack. Also if you race, you NEED a bellypan. Converting R1/3/6 fairings to fit an FZ isn't terribly uncommon, and doing that is less expensive than buying a full-fairing kit for $1000+ designed for the FZ07
You should prob mention that the MT-07 also has brembo master cylinders, just a different style, not radial. Take a close look at the front and rear masters of the FZ/MT-07
OC: MT-07. but I actually own a 2020MT07 already lol, But I think a lot of people need to know the answer to this question. Will the R7 suspension swap over to the MT07 ? And if it isn't a direct bolt on swap what would it take to complete the swap? Would definitely make a very interesting video comparing them.
You missed a few things: ECU is mapped differently from factory on R7 Brake Calipers on R7 are radially mounted as opposed to MT07’s being Axial mounted.
a little addition: the CP2 is also used on Tracer 700 so currently it's used for 5 motorcycles maybe they would use it as a cruiser basis too in the future as vulcan 650/rebel 500 competitor
OC. I like them both. Never road in my life but love your vids. I'm 41 and 5'7", so as a newbie, I'd go for the shorter Mt 07 just because it's shorter.💯 Wouldn't ride as a newbie on something that I couldn't flatfoot.
First OC, i want an mt 09 as first bike, personaly i liked more the mt 07 riding position, i sittes on the mt 09 and i loved how i feeled grabing that beast.
Ah, The OC... Loved that show. ;) I'd pick the MT07. Though I'd probably fit, I'm old and fat and too ugly to be seen in skin-tight racing leathers on a sportbike! I'm wondering, though, will some or any of those 'different' parts, like that rear support, be swappable to the MT07?
Excellent chassis technical description, grateful! Need small detail on footrest alloy cover on the R7 versus plastic cover on MT-07 please? To fit those R7 alloy parts do you also need the lower casting as well as the upper one to properly stiffen chassis that area? Be grateful for that so can order parts (BEB27453 & BEB27463 are the upper left/right cast parts)
OC: I love the looks of the R7 but also like the aggressive look of the MT. After just hitting a deer and doing $1100 in damage to plastic I’m definitely leaning in the direction of the naked bike.
OC: I have an ‘19 MT07. I would stick to the MT because I spend most of my time having fun in the street. If I didn’t own an MT I’d definitely get the R7. Now if I wanted to start track days I’d go for an used R3 (staying Yamaha obviously cuz I’m a simp for the brand) learn my way and then step the ladder to an ZX-6R or something similar. Don’t see the point of getting an R7 since they’re almost the same bike, but don’t get me wrong, R7 is really cool and I would love to swing a leg on one. That’s my 2 cents there...
I am a bit of a Yamaha fanboy. That being said, all things being equal, I would choose the Aprilia RS 660 over the R7. Price and availability are a factor though, especially in Canada.
Good review. Entry level bikes for different things. Seems reasonable. Still hard to get over the same hp. 13000 is a lot....maybe worth it but again depends on what you get the bike for and the actualy bike which I have yet to ride.
I am seriously considering the R7 for a dedicated track bike. More get-up than an R3 and won't bore as quick with it and still be a bike to provide a challenge, without the cost of tracking a super sport
2021 Kawi zx6r (636) at local dealer is $9199 which includes traction control and quick shifter. This bike isn't even a contender. Yamaha took a step backwards with this one. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
OC. Can't pick between the two easily, but I think I'd fancy the MT07 more for comfort. I would imagine we'll see front end swaps from R7 onto the 07 one of these days to come.
OC: Hard pick tbh, i live for the casual but hooligan style and feel of the MT 07, but the R7 looks nicer and you can go to the track with it, so ultimately i'd choose the MT over the R, but the R is always there as a backup 😂
OC i like the looks of the R7 I wish it had clip on like the R3 then I would buy it but because its like a super bike I have to go with the MT-07 once they put up side down adjustable forks on it in 2023
OC! I just test road the MT07 and it was my first ride in a long time. I had a super blast and its super torquey in my opinion i think the MT07 would be a great daily bike as well as a commute bike doing over 80mph tucked down it was nice and fun on a straight road. I can't say anything on the R7 but if they are practically the same in terms of power and such for a fun daily 30min commute bike or a weekend bike i say the MT07 would be the best option. But i feel like the R7 would do better on the highway based on the windscreen and body positioning.
New OC, I would have to pick the MT07. givin my current riding demands. short but harsh commute, a race track is 6+hours in any direction. buy a bike you can enjoy right away and then think about an upgrade or build the bike to suit your needs. I bought the 2006 FZ6 in 06 and started stripping it after seeing the euro spec fazer600
OC: I like both bikes, but I’d go with the R7 because of the body work, slipper clutch, and improved braking. If the MT-07 had those, minus the fairings of course, then I’d pick the MT-07 for its upright seating position.
Can you do a which you should buy vid. Like your mt03 R3. Your vid helped my decision choosing the R3 and loving it. Getting ready to upgrade and can't decide between mt07 n R7
Love your videos, but in this one, the music was louder than your voice. Meaning that I had to turn up my speakers to hear you, but then turn it down when the music plays. Just thought I'd let you know. I love all your content otherwise, and it's great for hunting for that N+1 motorcycle. :D
OC: MT07 cause well I already own a heavily modified 2014 MT07 which is an absolute peach to ride. I actually rev-match my downshifts aggressively everyday without a slipper clutch, I guess I got good at it but I dont feel any wheel chatter or spin up when doing it. I honestly would always keep the MT07 cause it makes a great everyday commuter, but I would love a sport bike for track days or weekends (like an older gen R6). I wouldn't want 2 bikes with the same engine, even though I LOVE the feel and sound of the CP2, it wouldn't make sense to me.
Get some seat time before you think about your second or third bike. Once you've gotten enough ride time there are going to be changes to the bikes by then.
I have a T700 with over 40000 km, absolutely love everything about it, recognising that nothing is perfect and everything can be improved . I can vouch for that engine in all realistic situations I am satisfied with a standard trail bike that will do about 200 and if I did not have 1 km of sand to get home I would consider owning all 3 of course I would like a hot rod but with the Michelin anakee wild tires on it I can still crank it over pretty well in the corners .I would really love 2 crank that R 7 over in my favourite corners but I am 58 so I guess I can be satisfied with what I have and there is a lot more traffic and police now than in the 1980s anyway ride safe nice to chat see you later
OC: I'd love an R7, hopefully I can get it here in Colombia. Since I already ride an R15 (155cc for latin american market), the position is juuust right
OC! I like the styling of the R7 more but I know the MT is way more comfortable riding long distance. Depends on which type of riding you are going to do more of.
A great looking bike for sure. Sadly the R7 is probably not even in the top 5 because Chase apparently forgot about MV Agusta. Every bike they make is filthy.
Given that both share the same platform Yamaha should do an MT07 SP with the upside-down forks and the better brake master cylinder of the R7. I bet a lot of naked bike fans would be willing to pay the premium for a better suspension on the MT07.
Never ridden an MT07 but I've heard that the suspension, especially the forks, really suck. They should just add that to the standard model
@@DeliPlays But then they'd have to up the price...
@@DeliPlays I'm a 190lbs dude and have no problems riding the mt07 the suspension is fine. it's may be a problem if you're a professional racer and looking to pushing it to it limit.
Charge like $500-700 more, maybe include the chassis bracing? They might want people to go for an MT09 at that point though.

I had a super blast and its super torquey in my opinion i think the MT07 would be a great daily bike as well as a commute bike doing over 80mph tucked down it was nice and fun on a straight road. I can't say anything on the R7 but if they are practically the same in terms of power and such for a fun daily 30min commute bike or a weekend bike i say the MT07 would be the best option. But i feel like the R7 would do better on the highway based on the windscreen and body positioning.
Those bikes are just gorgeous
“GAGUE CLUSTER”
Gag the cluster!
R7 looks for me more perfect
New OC, I would have to pick the MT07. givin my current riding demands. short but harsh commute, a race track is 6+hours in any direction. buy a bike you can enjoy right away and then think about an upgrade or build the bike to suit your needs. I bought the 2006 FZ6 in 06 and started stripping it after seeing the euro spec fazer600
love your content bud
OC I like the MT07 I’m done riding supersports bike, i love my back too much lol
Make sure to include my comment of the liveontwowheels in the regret video !
OC: I like both bikes, but I’d go with the R7 because of the body work, slipper clutch, and improved braking. If the MT-07 had those, minus the fairings of course, then I’d pick the MT-07 for its upright seating position.
Can you do a which you should buy vid. Like your mt03 R3.
Your vid helped my decision choosing the R3 and loving it. Getting ready to upgrade and can't decide between mt07 n R7
O.C: I’m in love with the MT line, so…. Not to mention the XSR line
O.C. I was really considering getting a MT 07 until the R7 came out now I'm getting a R7 hahahaha
OC. the MT for me 🔥
Love your videos, but in this one, the music was louder than your voice. Meaning that I had to turn up my speakers to hear you, but then turn it down when the music plays. Just thought I'd let you know. I love all your content otherwise, and it's great for hunting for that N+1 motorcycle. :D
OC: MT07 cause well I already own a heavily modified 2014 MT07 which is an absolute peach to ride. I actually rev-match my downshifts aggressively everyday without a slipper clutch, I guess I got good at it but I dont feel any wheel chatter or spin up when doing it. I honestly would always keep the MT07 cause it makes a great everyday commuter, but I would love a sport bike for track days or weekends (like an older gen R6). I wouldn't want 2 bikes with the same engine, even though I LOVE the feel and sound of the CP2, it wouldn't make sense to me.
Would love to see a side by side of the R7 and the outgoing R6
I'm making moves to get the MT-07 as my first bike. I'm thinking more and more the R7 will be my next if not the MT-09.
Don't go from an mt07 to r7 just pick one or the other
Check out the rs660 Aprilia makes a full faired and naked version I recommend that way over the Yamaha.
Get some seat time before you think about your second or third bike. Once you've gotten enough ride time there are going to be changes to the bikes by then.
I have a T700 with over 40000 km, absolutely love everything about it, recognising that nothing is perfect and everything can be improved . I can vouch for that engine in all realistic situations I am satisfied with a standard trail bike that will do about 200 and if I did not have 1 km of sand to get home I would consider owning all 3 of course I would like a hot rod but with the Michelin anakee wild tires on it I can still crank it over pretty well in the corners .I would really love 2 crank that R 7 over in my favourite corners but I am 58 so I guess I can be satisfied with what I have and there is a lot more traffic and police now than in the 1980s anyway ride safe nice to chat see you later
What was that RQ my short-term memory is atrocious enjoy what you do
OC: I'd love an R7, hopefully I can get it here in Colombia. Since I already ride an R15 (155cc for latin american market), the position is juuust right
OC! I like the styling of the R7 more but I know the MT is way more comfortable riding long distance. Depends on which type of riding you are going to do more of.
That third best looking bike was the fireblade :)
A great looking bike for sure. Sadly the R7 is probably not even in the top 5 because Chase apparently forgot about MV Agusta. Every bike they make is filthy.
I would pick the R6 I know it isn’t in the video but still it’s a phenomenal bike in my opinion and the sound is like no other
