- Review of the Yamaha MT 07 which was kindly lent to me by the guys at Laguna Motorcycles - www.laguna.co.uk/
Having ridden the MT 09 and the MT 10 I thought it was time to give the Yamaha MT 07 a test to complete Yamaha’s MT line up. A great bike suitable for a beginner while also delivering the thrills that an experienced rider is after.
What stands out first about the Yamaha MT 07 is the handling. The bike feels solid, well put together and confidence inspiring. I actually preferred the feel of the MT 07 over the MT 09. It’s hard to put my finger on precisely why, the bike just felt more complete. I understand this is probably a pretty rare view though so please try them and let me know what you think!
The MT 07 has decent toque from it’s 689CC engine. Gears were engaging and the throttle response felt natural to me. Top end speed didn’t feel like it would be particularly high though with the wind it’s not a bike you’re going to want to spend much time in the 80mph+ range.
The MT 07 Shines in the twisties. Easy to ride, goes where you want it with good acceleration delivering a smile to your face as you exit the bends.
Seating position is comfy though seat a little hard so worth upgrading. Being upright gives you a great view and no pains from my 2 hoursish. Other points to upgrade would be the exhaust. I found it too quiet.
The test ride was on the Ice Fluo colour scheme though also comes in black or blue.

I've included a couple of sections in the twisties where I talk less to give viewers the chance to 'experience the ride' a bit. Would be great to hear if you guys like this or not as not sure if can get boring?
I think if the bike sounds good then yes. But the MT07 is super quiet, so a bit of dialogue may have been needed. With your CBR650R vid the other week the bike sounded quite nice going through the twisties so it was good to hear the engine note. I really liked your enthusiasm in the CBR video too. I take delivery of mine next week - Proper excited!! I also tried out the MT07 but it didn't grab me like the Honda did.
My next bike will be a Triumph Tiger 800 would love to see you test one of those.
👍
@@RedlineRossi thanks for feedback. Yeah I think the CBR650R sounded a lot better and personally enjoyed that more, despite the pains at the end of the ride 😂 found this better than the cb650r though which is a closer comparison I guess. Great choice in the getting the CBR650R, did you go for the black or the red?
Also I've done the tiger 800. Popped a review up around a month back I think. I took the 800xrt out which I thought was excellent. Preferred it over the 1200 too. If I was going to be changing my daily I would be getting one. Though next year tiger 900 is due to launch I think...
@@TommyBarnezTV Went for the black one after a lot of thought. I really like the red one, which most people seem to be getting. But I think the black looks a bit meaner and has a stealth bomber kind of look to it.
Got the sports pack too which comprises of a quick shifter, seat cowl, dark tinted screen, tank pad and rim tape. Also got a tail tidy as the standard tail is among the worst I've ever seen.
I will check out the TT800 review.
Thanks 👍
@@RedlineRossi sweet. I prefer the black too and the sport pack options all sound good.
@The Rockall Times cheers dude!
Got mine in the spring, got the fender eliminator and integrated tail light. Two brothers exhaust and flashed the ecu. LED flush turn signals and took off rear rider pegs.
I disagree with the wind screen...it’s a naked bike keep it a naked bike. The wind isn’t that bad and I’m not going 70mph+ all the time, I really doubt the wind being deflected at your head will make it all that more enjoyable.
Definitely need an exhaust as it makes it sound like a bike and not a glorified moped.
Love my bike though.

Nice review :) I've owned an MT07 for the last 14 months or so and pretty much agree with everything you say. Cracking bike for the money, the engine is the star of the show .. a tasty little mill with great character, it shoves out plenty of torque giving lots of low and mid range grunt .. runs out of puff a bit easy at the top end but keep it to more or less legal speeds and it's a good, fun bike to play about on. Negatives are the finish - yamarust is definitely an issue ..... and the suspension is not great which can result in some pretty sketchy moments if you're on the boil down a bumpy road. Other than that it's a peach of a bike, nice machine for sure :)
Awesome! Thanks for feedback and owner experience
My first bike here in the US since having not ridden for over 10 years in the UK. Absolutely love it. Have the fender eliminator, Puig screen and TST Industries LED turn signals on it already. Great bike, lots of low down torque.
Nice! How you finding riding in the US compared to UK?
A lot different riding here. I live in Pennsylvania and it’s illegal to lane split (what they call filtering here) which is of course one of the huge advantages to riding in the UK. You have to use your 6th sense here more though... drivers are nearly always not paying attention/on their phones much more so here then in the UK. Because bikes are generally a seasonal thing on the east coast they aren’t catered for well with parking and drivers aren’t used to you as much. The roads though here are great! Of course everything is newer and bigger, roads are wider and there are so many great rides. You can see why Harley’s are so popular here, not just because they are American but because typically people will go on vacation on their bikes/ride for days. Love my MT though. Was a bit nervous when I first got it having last ridden a nc30 vfr400 in the UK back in 98.
@@UK2PAUSA sounds ok on balance. I guess it's just getting acclimatised to the roads and traffic. I find the junctions look a bit dangerous to me compared to roundabouts but I'm too tuned in to uk roads now. Might ride there one day, shame about filtering!
Welcome back to riding!
Probably the best MT07 video I've seen. Thanks for that. Ride safe, mate.
I've had mine for 13 weeks and love it. Normally used to riding two strokes of years ago but getting used to the four stroke now. I'm no speed freak or street racer so the suspension (as has been mentioned by some) being a little soft on braking isn't an issue. Brakes are ok too. I noticed you didn't get into 5th or top...not judging your riding ability...but I think this is where it performs....being able to stretch its legs. Getting 4.3 - 4.5 litres / 100 k. average. Totally happy with my MT-07.
Thanks for feedback. Yeah I tend to stay in lower gears and higher revs on most bikes as engine breaking force is then greater along with responsiveness. I think I popped it in 5th or 6th on the dual carriageway when up to speed though I wasnt really assessing the fuel economy. Find it a little difficult to get reliable figures on that during my shortish tests of bikes. Pretty sure its going to have good fuel economy with the size of the bike though.
Noticing much difference between 2 and 4 stroke getting back into it?
Yes sure do...the torque is amazing. Takes a bit of getting used to brakes with ABS. It's a keeper for me . I did consider the MT-09 and would have loved the triple but a little too heavy...I'm only a liteweight and shorty...lol
@@alangriff1 I actually thought the mt07 was a better ride than the mt09. My mt09 test was unfortunately after a street triple rs and just before the mt10 so it got a bit lost compared to those.
In a parallel twin where the the pistons move up and down simultaneously the crankshaft angle is 360 degrees, whereas the inline twin with alternately moving pistons the angle of crankshaft is 180 degrees. The main advantage of a 360° crankshaft (parallel twin) is ,single carburetor can be used for both the cylinders, there is no need of separate ignition system for different cylinders. However one major disadvantage is the heavy Vibrations. The inline twins with 180 degrees crankshaft tends to cancel the vibrations by moving pistons in opposite directions but due to irregular igniting timings the firing pulses create additional vibrations. There must be two different fueling system for both the cylinders and separate ignition system must be used.
Cheers!
To my knowledge, in-line twin means the pistons run next to each other but are offset on the crank so reach tdc at different times, parallel twin mean they run next to each other but run together on the crank so they reach tdc at the same time
This thing is LOUD with a full Yoshimura exhaust. So pleased with this as my first bike.
I learnt on this bike! Loved it!! Great beginner bike and great review!! Thanks Tom 👍🏼
Awesome!
not sure why people call it beginner bike, stunters use this bike a lot, please don't call it a beginner bike LMAO.
@@buzzikea I agree, a beginner bike is a 125cc air cooled with 10bhp lol
Agree with the exhaust mate, I still have standard, not unhappy with it but will be changing to get a bit more noise, filtering, like you said is easy on this and also for short riders this is great, I'm only 5' 3".
Yeah louder exhaust really helps with filtering. How you finding the seat height? My other half is looking into getting a bike but is 5ft 2 and worried about a bike being too big. Have mentioned the mt07 as an option however she hasnt sat on one yet
@@TommyBarnezTV yeah seat height is OK, on the balls of my feet, sometimes tiptoes depending where I've stopped. Done a few of my lessons on a lowered mt07 and there was a difference so that's an option for your other half.
@@weemt07biker74 cheers mate
The Mt 07 has a better digital screen than the mt09 a bit bigger and in the center .thanks from danny
I was putting my *09 Yamaha FZ6 in the back garden.And I dropped it on top of me.And it bent the Clutch lever. Kind of like your brake lever.I put a new aftermarket clutch lever on,and it was a shorter lever.Worked fine.My brother had to pick up the bike off of me.Now I know what not to do.I was happy the exhaust pipe didn't burn me.I test rode a Harley and the pipe was near my leg.I burnt the inside of my leg.Left a scar.I'll pass on Harley Davidsons.Except I do like 1200cc Sportsters like the Sportster 1200CC Custom.The 883 is too small.I like bikes with torque off the line.Such as the Yamaha MT09 or Kawasaki Z900 ABS.The MT07 I tested was alright.THe MT09 in A mode with the traction control turned off.Is a torque monster and Wheelie machine.You can be a Hooligan on the MT09.Just put a aftermarket exhaust system on or just a slip on and Flash the ECU.Now you got more torque and Horse power.And people if they can't see you.They will hear you!
Right hand brake leaver is manufactured with a curve not bent from drop.
Currently doing my Direct Access and looking to get this as my first bike!!
Nice, great first choice! Good look with mod 1&2
@@TommyBarnezTV Man! I've failed my Mod 1, 3 times now - and I'm just putting my foot down two thirds of my way around the U turn as I feel as if the bike is tipping over.
I haven't had any minors on anything else, and I've never failed to do a U-turn on a lesson which is a 0.5m tighter gap than the test centre!
@@gss6531 ah man that sucks! If you're doing it in practice you know how to do it, will just be nerves getting in the way. Back brake and clutch control, just need to work on that and not get worked up about it. I think mod 1 is the hardest part of getting your license as you can fail for so many things. Where are you doing your training? Having a good instructor is vital
@@gss6531 just done my mod 1 on a mt 07 u turn a little bit of throttle and just work the clutch in and out let it out a little if you think your foots going down
@@flipiflops279 Guess what, I went back and did my MOD1 the day the test centres opened up after CV19 and passed - they gave me a Honda Hornet which was so much lighter than the Suzuki Bandit. I managed to book my road test for the next day and passed that too! Been riding 3 years now and I've got a CBR600RR and a Duke 890R 😁
I done all my DAS stuff on an MT07, i felt it was a really decent bike - i wasnt brand new to riding i could already ride a motorbike but i felt for a total newb it would have been equally as nice for them to use. Currently have an FZR 600 (3he twin headlight model) an absolutely LOVE the thing.
So did I passed my test on one of these but I can say the ones they use for training are restricted in power at least the one I used. I confirmed that when I test ridden a new demo bike and the difference was massive.
@@ridehead8771 they had a restricted and unrestricted mt07 where i done my direct acess - i used the unrestricted bike everytime.
when someone calls the front brake "gear leaver"......
I looked it up and found out that it is indeed a parallel twin. :)
On my test ride the wheel came off the ground in second and third.... we immediately had a talk with each other about it’s spunky nature and potential engagements with law enforcement lol!
I like the MT10 because of the silky smoothie cross plane inline four.
perfect for the roads where i live..
what kind of terrain is in the area you live in?
Excellent review. I'm looking to upgrade from my current bike but I don't think this bike would be an upgrade from my Ducati Monster 696 other than in the "less" maintenance department.
Definitely not. I havent had a ride of the monster but I'd check out a triumph street triple rs, cb1000r, mt10, superduke gt
The 4K video is excellent, new camera ? :)
"In line" and "parallel" twin.
There seems to be a lot of confusion around these terms.
Maybe just say "2 cylinders , side by side" , but that's a mouthful !
It certainly is a lot of bike for the money.
If only I wasn't as obsessed with modern retro Triumph twins, I could've save a fortune !
I did consider the XSR700 , the MT-07 has a bit of a "Transformer" look to me. Yes this is a personal preference.
Yamaha might sell me an XSR700 one day, or will bike 2 be a Street Triple ? Dunno ! (This Triumph obsession is expensive)
182 Kg fully wet sounds good, that'd be easish to push around.
LCD looks easy to read. Honda CB650R etc , please take note !
Stock exhaust sound, blame Euro 4 . Sigh :(
I did see some set of expensive "Jekyl and Hyde" after market pipes on an expensive Indian bike with an electric control on the baffles.
Now that would be nice, a switch to go LOUD ! Then when you get near home late at night, go quiet and keep the neighbours happy :)
See Motobob's video ua-cam.com/video/qHyQmDyjuDo/v-deo.html ("4:18") .
14 litre tank is brilliant on a 125. Over a 300 mile range.
This bike according to Yamaha does 4.3litres/100KM or 65MPG so a theoretical range of 200 ish miles (325Km)
That sounds pretty good to me. (140 mile range on my Triumph. Sigh !)
Roadster position. Yeah, works for me. I don't want to have to see a chiropractor everytime I get off a bike.
Doubt if I'll ever buy a full on sports bike. I'm too old !
London bikes and keys. Almost makes a point of keyless ignition (assuming there's still a steering lock). I hadn't thought of that before.
re 13:28 . Pedal cyclist wishing they had internal combustion :) I don't miss being over taken by cars, vans and especially lorries and buses when on 2 wheels.
About it's competitors, yeah the Honda CB650R, I'd add the Suzuki SV650 and Kawasaki ER-6n and if you want retro twin looks the RE Interceptor is in a similar price bracket, but doesn't go as fast.
Before anyone says, I shouldn't have got the Triumph, no I don't regret it. I am a middle aged British bloke who heard too many Triumph stories from his Dad :)
One question, what was the suspension like ? Some have complained earlier MT-07s were a bit soft . (I don't have a clue, never ridden one)
Nah same camera, have always been in 4k but decided to start putting it in my video titles :) I do have a new camera coming though...
Suspension seemed fine to me. In line with the others it is competing with.
I dont know how big of an issue the keys in london is. I ride in london pretty much every day and havent ever felt it to be a problem, however I have a screen which provides a bit of a deterrent for a quick grab. Guy that mentioned it to me has made me think about it more.
Dont worry about your triumph love 😂 there are other decent bikes out there worth riding but if you find a love for a brand theres nothing wrong with that.
Nice tip on the exhausts. I hadn't heard of that. Pretty cool option! Will check out the vid now...
@@TommyBarnezTV
Riding in London, you're braver than me ;)
Triumph love is so expensive. I could have Norton love too but that's even more expensive !
The XSR700 would appeal to my bank balance, and I would probably like it, dunno if I'd ever love it. Maybe it would be a slow burner ... :)
@@karlosh9286 haha, I love riding in london 😂 I've driven in london loads over the years so used to the traffic and roads. On a bike traffic doesn't hold you up so you're happy to explore a bit more. Also if you're sensible I dont think it's that dangerous. Motorways in rush hour are more dangerous in my eyes.
Yeah I really like the Norton's too though havent ridden one
@@TommyBarnezTV Motorways do not appeal to me on a bike. It always seems like rush hour on the M25 ! I think I might get a bike trailer for my car and cheat at touring. Do the motorways in the car, bike for the nice roads at the destination, plus no luggage issues :)
I think motorbikes, sensibly ridden in Central London are way safer than pedal bikes. Keep up with the traffic, brakes that work and protective clothing that you wouldn't want to pedal in.
Nortons , when I looked at their website they're about 5 dealers in the UK. One I think is Crazy Horse in S.E. London, so not too far from Essex or Kent. Not as convenient as Triumph . But then there's the starting price tags of around £15K, for the "cheap" ones. One day maybe ... :)
@@TommyBarnezTV Regarding keys being snatched from bikes at traffic lights, etc. I don't think we have too much to worry about. After all, I don't think you can get the keys out without switching the ignition off first. I think you'd have plenty of time to react and stop the person making a grab for them.
I ride a 2007 Kawasaki 650R Ninja and am thinking of trading for a new non current 2019 Yamaha MT-07. The 650R has been a great bike and a delight on the freeway.
The very first thing to put an a new bike are frame and axle sliders, and perhaps engine covers...
That numberplate says YXA and that means axe in Swedish
I think this is my favourite comment of the last month 😂
You should have messaged me and popped in for a cup of tea! I live just there! Lol! Nice review. Ride safe
Thanks!
Addressing your wife's issues, I dropped my instructor's xj6 during the road test and had to ask the poor man testing me to help me pick it up =/ I definitely have a 2014 mt07 in mind if and when I pass
I love this bike!
Parallel twin describes a 360° crank, typical of old British bikes. The pistons move together or parallel. Since it was the oldest style of inline twin it got incorrectly carried over to future bikes, like Japanese ones which all had a 180° crank angle. 270° firing order inline twins were pretty much non existent until modern times because of the required counterbalance shaft. 90° L-twins and other narrower V-twins existed instead.
Thanks for explaining, I need to spend some time understanding engine configurations more
TommyBarnezTV there’s definitely videos around here showing the differences.
@@mindspinn311 yeah seen a few, wanna sort out time to look over engines in the flesh :)
People call it a parallel twin because the cylinders are inline sideways compared to the bike instead of going longitudinally inline
just got mine today hope it is not too heavy as i way 60kg but they are amazing bikes
Cheerio ole chap.
I don't know if I should get the mt 07 or the sv650 as a first bike (or even the mt 03). Any recommendations will be appreciated
I was always into the standard rerro classic style bikes, but I really like the MT03, MT07, MT09 designs. Massive fan of Yamaha.
Now as a late learner rider, do you start with an MT03 or retricted MT07.... decisions decisions...
Have you got a full license? If so I wouldnt personally worry about restricting it. Just spend a little time taking it easy getting used to it. Once you have a few miles under your belt the power will be ok I think.
If you havent got a full license yet then i always think it's better to get a bike you dont have to restrict.
@@TommyBarnezTV I haven't got a full licence, actually going for my Learner's licence in a few months. The MT03 is much cheaper here used, but you can get a restricted MT07 here. I'm also average height but short legs, so I might need a lower seat height for the first bike, need to flat foot it!
Get the mt07, the mt03 isn’t really powerful enough for the weight although still a great bike
So, which one you got? And what are your impressions? I m returning after 10 years without riding, got a MT03 three monthes ago. Excellent bike. Next year I m plannig upgrade to a MT 07 or a GSX 750.
I did a test ride of an Ice Fluo MT07 yesterday. Great bike, I was surprised I felt more confortable for cornering than my MT03. As down here where I live it is not power limited, dont think its properly a beginner bike. Took some minutes too get used to how reduce gear, in a more powerfull bike with no mecanical or eletronic support. Seems vibrate more than MT 03, dont you think so?
Its a great bike I think, preferred it to the mt09 in how it drives. I havent ridden the mt03 though cant really compared. I dont remember any vibration problems though
That's a nice looking bike.
Currently in talks to trade in my ninja 400 for one of these! Prefer a more upright ride
Nice!
Good upgrade, I upgraded from my ninja 300 to an FZ 07 a year ago still Loving it
@@DylanVBWRX 1.5 hour test ride in the morning 😁
Pickle Dill any challenges with the extra weight and power? I have a z400 and want to upgrade to the mt 07
@@augia5051 nope it was a smooth transition from my Ninja 300 to my FZ07/Mt07. I love it I've had it over a year power delivery is much nicer and it's just a lot more fun. I've logged around 5,000 miles so far on it.
I have a 68 plate MT07 in night flou, without a screen it's hold on for grim
death above 90 lol. Also there is nothing I don't like about it.
You like the sound? Got an exhaust on it?
@@nomarnoland2966 just the standard one for now, will be getting upgraded soon but I honestly don't mind it.
I fitted a Puig tourer screen to mine. It just takes the wind off my lower torso but still have that naked bike feel with the wind on my shoulders and head. Overall, it means less wind force at high speed - more comfortable.
Inline and parallel mean the same thing
Nice looking bike!
audio quality is excellent did you record the audio post ride?
Thanks! No all audio recorded as it happened :)
Ohh look my bike😎
Nice :)
Not sure about the brake lever!
For 2020,hopefully gets new all led lights,turn signals,quickshifter and riding modes
I agree with all but the rider modes :)
Maybe some LEDs but I'd be very surprised if it gets a QS or any rider modes ... those would push the price up too much. The current re-development of the bike is for new upcoming euro emissions regs ... thats forced development, they have to do it in order to keep selling the model - can't see them also throwing money at much more for what is essentially a cheap bike. The MT07 is built to a low budget in order to retain it's price point in the marketplace and also within the MT range. But - if they did an SP version like with the 09 then that would be a different kettle of fish ... charge more for it, put more gadgets on it ...
@@MotoGoato good shout on an sp version. I think qs option would be good as it's an option on the cb650r which I would say this bike is up against. If I remember right it was a £170 option when I was chatting with the guys at honda about it.
I was looking forward to get this bike for my first one in a hilly region all my friends say this bike is not built for the place need some advice 😅
Hard to say, depends how hilly we are talking and how much you weigh :) maybe go for a higher power bike, but don't let your friends talk you into something out of your comfort zone :)
@@TommyBarnezTV Thanks for the advice Tommy ❤️🙏🏽
just pondering, do you remove ya helmet when paying? was a funny thing about it a few years ago (only just getting back into riding)
Nah, cant be bothered. Only ever had one garage make me. I havent been back to that one, just takes too much time and is a hassle.
Ive currently got an MT125, had a test booked earlier this year but it was canceled😒 seems that the 07 is down a bit on spec tbh. Conventional forks, axial brake calipers, and other parts not up to the same spec as the 09 or 10. Even the 125 has radial brakes and upside down forks?
The new Triump Trident might be a good next bike option...
I have a doubt. I just bought the MT-07 and the first few days I could not distinguish engine noise or anything, I got on and now. I'm a noob. The thing is that I have noticed that in neutral, while standing, an almost imperceptible sound is heard (you have to notice to notice) as if the clutch discs rub against each other when turning. When the clutch lever is pressed, the noise disappears and is heard again when released. I wanted to know if it is normal, as I said it is an almost minimal noise and the bike is going well, it has two weeks.
Maybe get it checked out and check some owner forums. Reddit will probably have an owners group that you can post a video in if an owner doesnt comment here.
I am very interested in getting one of these. Almost all the reviews I have seen (granted, of older versions of the MT07), while favouring the bike in general, mention the soft feel of the front fork and the spongy breaks, both front and rear. What's your opinion after riding it?
Felt fine to me. It's a decent bike, I'd say have a ride on one though as you'll only know when you have a ride.
@@TommyBarnezTV Cheers mate! I was hoping I would get to do that this week, as I had it planned as a holiday before I started at a new job. But given that everything is closed in Germany due to the corona situation, I don't see it happening soon. Oh well... I'll use to the time to browse the offers online.
@@Nasosdag yeah I think it's going to be a difficult summer. Bike dealers are still open here so have been taking out a few bikes, vids to edit. Not sure how long they will be open for though as not enough people are social distancing currently. Stay safe
Heh. great video. i am 6 feet 1 inch and 14 and half stone. 34 inch inside leg can i fit on it olk for day to day to use?
Yeah you'll be OK, maybe slightly big but not enough that it would cause a problem
Talks seating and seat height at 5:34
That bike actually got a tale tidy (excuse me if its wrongly written) You can just take out 4 bolts and remove the long arm. Just though you would want to know.
Nice tip! Thanks for adding!
Aye, thats not the stock plate hanger on that bike ... thats the official yam upgrade option ;)
@@MotoGoato Yeah i ordered that one on mine that im getting in a few days
I made a shortened bracket ( a lot of work) but I wanted to keep the std look of the bike and if I come to sell it it will still look genuine...not that I don't like tail tidies...I just prefer my look
@@alangriff1 Yeah but that one (same as mine) is made by yamaha aswell and is quality part even more so than the original.
I want to see the mt-125
I'll see what I can do, might be a few weeks
really want your review of mt 09
Here it is - ua-cam.com/video/9Ku9B7gAHEg/v-deo.html
@@TommyBarnezTV great! thanks)
Good review 👍 Tommy good looking bike .I have the mt10 in blue but black looks I think better thanks from danny
Nice! MT 10 was a fun bike to ride when I took that out, though did scare me a little 😂
I noticed the key position straight away too. Thought the same thing except my girlfriend being able to grab it before I could reach over for it . When she rather me not ride instead of talk? Lol , but true
Haha thats what helmet intercoms are for... put her on the back and let her chat away :)
Just out of curiosity. Why on earth someone would like to take away the keys of the bike ?
Athens Greece here .
You get idiots around unfortunately. I've seen videos of people trying to do it, most times it is after an altercation and its done to irritate the biker - grab keys and throw in a bush.
I dont even have licence for bike and i want to buy this as a first bike some say im crazy some say ill die we'll see
Depends where you do your training. In Europe you'd be fine with this as a first bike. In the states I think its easier to get onto a bike like this quickly. Just put time into tuition rather than doing the minimum.
Parallel twin and inline 2 are just two names for the same thing : )
How do you think this bike would fit a rider who’s 6’5” and 230lbs?
With all bikes you'll only really know by sitting on them and having a ride however being quite tall you might find a bigger bike better. Possibly an adventure bike. Or maybe a scrambler? Try a few out but I suspect the mt07 might feel a bit cramped
@@TommyBarnezTV that’s what I keep hearing, but I love this bike, I’m also considering going with a cb650r and mt-09. I do fit on both of those and really like both bikes.
@@toofastnobrakes if you love the bikes and have had a sit on them and they feel fine then go for it! The bikes on your list are all pretty good value too. I've ridden them all and I think I prefer the mt07 compared to the others, mt09 was cool but I found a bit of let down as I rode it after the triumph Street triple RS and then rode the mt10 straight after the mt09 so it was book marked by 2 outstanding bikes. I rode the standard mt09 and I hear the mt09 SP is a lot better so worth looking at that if you go down the mt09 route. Arguments for the mt09 would be longevity as you won't get bored on it, with the mt07 you may want more power at some point
@@TommyBarnezTV was my thought as well. I’m leaning most towards the cb650r, it’s an I4 and has about 20hp more than the other 650’s “though not as much torque down low” and because the lower displacement insurance is cheaper than the mt-09. Plus the suspension is already great. And the 2021 is getting the suspension upgraded further. Also loooove the style of that bike
I'm 6'2" and 210lbs and I'm comfortable but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over 6' really. It's a compact bike with relatively low seat height. Yes you can sit all the way back on the seat to be a bit higher up, but I'd recommend a bigger bike.
How progressive is the throttle..is it gradual acceleration or is it sudden? How about on off throttle...is it jerky? I am looking for a bike that has a smooth progressive throttle.
It felt pretty good to me if I remember right. Felt natural and predictable
A bike that feels a lot lighter than its actual weight when you ride it.
4K is 4K ... :-)
The also do
The mt03
*in 2 versions, a 660cc and a 300cc
Have a blue one for 10 months now with akrapovic carbon for a bit more tastfull ride. That and a fender eliminator kit, windscreen and a puig bellypan and it certainly looks good. Engine is the star here otherwise my gosh. Bad quality materials. Rust even without going in rain. Awful suspension prone to big scary moments. Shitty brakes. Shitty lighting at night. Already sold mine for a cbr650r. Another world of quality and pleasure with honda.
Thanks for feedback, I really like the CBR650R
Not boring 😂 Tommy
Thanks!
You don't have wild animals in UK? 😎
Wild animals are only ever seen in Newcastle town centre on a friday or Saturday night
@@TommyBarnezTV Sweet, here we got the wilderness on the streets 😁
You put Unleaded fuel in it!!! 😱😱
?
Awesome bike but the sound is terrible. Thats the only reason I prefer the mt09
Put an akrapovic on it and it sounds insane, the cp2 beats the cp3 of the 09 sound wise all day long in my opinion.
@@pault8714 I much prefer the looks of the 07 but the sound of the cp3 is more like a 4 cylinder. Anyway I think I'll start on a mt07 as first bike and move on to the mt09 i s a couple of years or.so so I don't kill myself, either that or a turbo hayabussa ofc ahah
I don't think parallel twin engines are famous for great sound. Then again some people don't like the sound of a Ducati 90 degree twin even though is considered by "many," including myself, as a sweet sounding engine (with proper exhaust).
Sounds like a dumper! Wtf is with that ignition position?
Dude dude not MT ooooooo 7 its called MT zero 7 🙄
Haha it tends to be ooooo 7 in my circles however zero sounds better... I'll take your advise and refer to it as such in future conversations
@@TommyBarnezTV yeah sry i from germany 😂
@@TommyBarnezTV but na na na na ooooooo 7 nut right MT null 7
