Bought the 2021 model a month ago. It was hard as hell to get up here in the New York tri-state area due to the supply chain issues going on. A good part of my decision to finally pull the trigger on this model was your video review. Thanks for all the great reviews and honest opinions. I've had over 20 bikes in the past 30 years and this is one of the most fun bikes I've ever owned.

Saving up for a bike, and tossing options around.. Originally I was dead set on an SV650, then I opened up to the idea of a Z650 (the new Z650RS looks FANTASTIC!!) but also the Interceptor650 which looks like a lot of bike for less cash. I've come round to the MT-07 lately; that engine is a peach! Still unsure what I'll do and/or what will happen, but those are the bikes and engines I'm focused around.

My first "Brand New" bike was an MT 07 back when they first came out. Instantly impressive and with a class leading engine. Probably still so, though the cross plane crank now seems to be fitted to just about every twin (absolutely not a complaint). They were/are cheap too but built down to a price with suspect paintwork causing bikes to go rusty very quickly. Main gripe though was (and perhaps still is) the suspension if pushed hard, (and with an engine like that, I suspect it's going to be pushed hard). Maybe a bit long in the tooth now, especially compared to the new kid on the block Triumph Trident so not entirely convinced that a new headlight and air scoops are enough. Personally I think they should have spent the money on the front forks instead so that you could fully exploit that superb engine. Popping wheelies is great but not making it round corners, not so good. Took me a minute to work out where you were but when you pulled up on the Cranborne Rd I sussed it as my friend used to live in one of the cottages opposite the junction. Can't honestly say I recognised every road though. Glad to see you didn't attempt the green lane next to Heavy Horse though. Good work, as usual, keep em' coming.

Side note..Fork problem: Get correct spring rate for weight of rider with gear, Ohlins, then cut spacer tube about 19mm or 3/4" re fill with 20 weight fork oil ohlins prolly best or bell ray. Fork oil fill needs to be at spec capacity for best results. I foumd a little less made dampning better in the rough.New fork pre load caps. All for 250$ usd fix.Or go all out for 1500$

Many thanks Indeed. I'm considering trading a Suzuki Bandit 1250 against one in the next couple of weeks. Would love to know what Yamaha optional extras are essential. Does the bike come with indicators as standard another question. Great video and many thanks for any reply.

Hi Charles yes indicators are standard on most bikes these days other than Mx bikes cheers mark

@@markpulling12 Much appreciated Mark. The reason I asked that particular question. Whilst looking at the Yamaha site you get the chance to configure your choice machine, and led indicators were an optional extra. There a decent enough base price I thought, especially as on the road charges are included. Would you recommend any extras worth getting at the time of purchase. Thanks ever so much.

Mark, I noticed that the MT-07 for 2022 has some added improvements making this this year's model even more relevant. Do you have plans for reviewing this year's model? The 2022 Tracer 9 GT remains unchanged from the 2021 model. Gord

@@markpulling12 Roger that, Mark. They don't already have the 2022 models in already? The last model year you reported were the 2021 models. There seems to be more bike reviews coming out of the UK and Canada than the US. That is somewhat bizarre given the market share. I guess both the UK and Canada seem to have the motorcycle trend much more ingrained in their culture that the US. US motorcycles sales have dropped drastically over the past twenty years. Youth in the US have their faces jammed up the backside of their phones more than the backside of a motorcycle. Women are the only exception. Women have gotten into motorcycling much more than men in the US over that same time frame. At the same time, adventure positive youth here in the US have spread themselves into many other adventure venues rather than motorcycles. This has no doubt detracted from motorcycle participation here. This will likely change in the future because many more youth have taken to higher performance electric bikes and flat scooters. Eventually they will make the jump to motorscooters and motorcycles. Gord
