Haha. Just bought this exact bike! only got 29xx kms on it now and the tyres were changed for Pirrelli Scorpions. I'm very happy with it, got it for an absolute bargain. Tho I don't find the speedo hard to read.
started riding at 16 and still riding at 69 i am giving up my trick fzs1000 and getting one of these as said singles are a different type of ride but this newish wave of single is a different ride to older singles its a nice motor thought about the 2016 model looked at one and to me the 660 looks better built anyway all to their own getting one of these and looking foreward to it thanks
The first gen Mt03 is a love/hate thing as is true of any big single. I had one of these between 2008 and 2012 and I loved it. Torquey, loud (Akra cans a must) and very vibey......the thing almost felt alive; great fun.
You have to like and understand big singles and how they develop power and torque, if you don't it'll not suit you, you simply won't be able to ride it. The MT03 is a supermoto 😎
A guy test rode it the day before and dropped it, Said the rear just went out when he hit the brake, Wouldn't have belived him if i didn't ride it my self!
I know mate, I have been very slack!! I really gotta join one hey. I have been bloody busy with work, bike work, filming and editing and just don't make the time!
Very nice presentation! i want to ask you something. I have a scooter 300cc Piaggio and i want to make the next step, to the world of the real motorcycle. I found a MT-03 of 2008 in a good price. I never ride bike with clutch. The MT-03 is a proper beginer rider like me or i must look something else? Sorry for my english im from Greece.
@@alkiou3613 Τελικά όχι. Το συγκεκριμένο που είδα, ναι μεν σε καλή τιμή, σε κακή κατάσταση το κιβώτιο δε. Δεν έκανα το επόμενο βήμα. Πήρα HONDA INTEGRA. Συγνώμη που δεν βοηθώ.

after riding this myself on my test i found that the 2016 mt03 is superior in nearly everyway i love it so much
Yeah, Its a "differnt strokes" kind of thing, The oldies would like the 1st gen better the younger guys the 2nd!

Thanks for the review mate. Just looking into one of these for my first bike. Very helpful.

Bike looks AWSOME.
Thanks for watching bash!
Good review again. Keep them coming. I'd wait for the tyres to wear out before changing them. They can't be that bad.

Blimey! They must be bad. Another review says the same as you. I stand corrected.
I still agree though hey, Would deffinitly ride them out!
Pretty cool looking bike, especially that weird shock!
There pretty funky!, Thanks for watching mate, Stop by a hangout every now and again, We miss seeing ya on there!
I know mate, I have been very slack!! I really gotta join one hey. I have been bloody busy with work, bike work, filming and editing and just don't make the time!

Γεια σου φίλε μου. Την αγόρασες την μοτοσικλέτα τελικά; Επειδή επιθυμώ κι εγώ να την αγοράσω και αναζητώ απόψεις χρηστών.

The xt660 and this are great bikes but they could be a lot lighter.
True, but both have very heavy exhaust systems. Put a lithium battery in it and a single pipe, save 10+ kg's easy
This bike should be a V2 650
why just buy a suzuki or the great mt07 simples really
