2023 YAMAHA MT-07 RIDE & REVIEW | Best Beginner Motorcycle

[@IrnMaiden304]

A friend of mine, his brother got an MT when it first came out, he sold with 60k miles on it, pretty solid bike.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Yes they are!! IrnMaiden Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻 and being apart of the Channel- You Rock!

[@oneschwiftyrick]

Mecahnic at my shop has an mt with 134k miles and still going strong. Also looks almost new lol

[@RayBowdenRides]

@oneschwiftyrick dang that's alot of miles.

[@CartoonWeasel]

Today i had my motorcycle license exam. I passed. Obviously the responsible adult in me immediately went to dealerships. 2 had no sales rep on site. (Guess they dont like selling bikes on fridays. The most busy days🤦‍♂️) 3rd shop had what i want to see mainky. The xsr700. They did not have my second choice which was a cb650r. (They had the 1000 but thats too much. That also cost 1200$ just for the tags.) Told myself i didn't want an mt. Then i sat on it just for giggles. Im 5'7, i can flat foot the bike without issues (unlike the xsr on tipy toes). It just felt so comfortable. Also sat on a cfmoto heritage. Really like the looks, also comfortable but something kept getting me back to the mt07. I must've sat on it 7 times. Well, monday is my credit check and if all ok thursday i have a new mt07. (Settled on the blue model because the grey and teal wheels was only 2024 but also 2k more.) Im nervous, i hope i get home ok.🤣. Cant wait. Have no friends to say this too, so i said it to yt strangers. 🤣

[@RayBowdenRides]

Oh Man ,Congratulations my friend!! Let me know when you get it. There awesome bikes - your going to love it!! Have a AWESOME weekend to!!

[@luisloza4125]

How did it go? I’m thinking about going to purchase one as well as a beginner bike but I don’t know yet 😅

[@RayBowdenRides]

@luisloza4125 they are Nice bikes!

[@RicardoGonzalez-rb4sn]

I got one of my best friends into riding bikes and he bought an MT-07 after like 3 or 4 sessions of me teaching him on my FZ6R in parking lots. He had me ride his new MT-07 to his house for him because he wasn’t THAT comfortable riding and it surprised me how much fun it was! It made me wish that I got my license first so i could test ride bikes before I bought mine. Would have definitely gone with one of these even with how much I loved that FZ6R. And the sound with a pipe is beautiful! That low growl/grunt sound is phenomenal to me!

[@RayBowdenRides]

They are Awesome bikes no doubt! Great story Ricardo- Have a AWESOME weekend!!

[@superduperkid3143]

I just bought the 2024 1000sx, your video helped a lot. I take delivery today I'm so excited! Still watching though!

[@RayBowdenRides]

Oh cool, What state Superduper?Hey Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻- let me know what you think!!

[@kevinhagberg1648]

Picked up a 23 with ZERO miles at the beginning of 2024. It was my first bike and I love it. Great bike! Forgiving enough to be easy to learn on and tons of fun in the city!

[@RayBowdenRides]

They are Awesome bikes for sure! Enjoy that motorcycle my friend!

[@English_MoFo]

The ugly thing on the front is called a flyscreen. It was the first of 4 windshields I bought for my mt-03. Lol from this little thing up to the smoked touring windshield 😂

Got my first bike 2 months ago. I went for the MT 07 and I didn’t regret it yet. Getting more use to it day by day. start trying wheelies 😂 Riding this Bike is like therapy.

[@RayBowdenRides]

[@leeinwis]

@@RayBowdenRides Wow, I can't imagine that as a first bike , I had a RD200 at 15 y/o .

[@Adam-gy6oi]

I just got mine today, first motorcycle and it’s so damn fun to ride I can’t stop thinking about it.

Love all your review videos Sr, the MT 07 is an amazing bike. Definitely one of my favorite nakeds.

[@RayBowdenRides]

[@toddallingham1647]

Thanks for the great content! Keep it coming!

[@RayBowdenRides]

Thks Todd!! I'm trying my friend, Have a AWESOME week !!

[@RioRides]

I started on this bike in 2015 ish when it was called the FZ-07 in the states at under 7k MSRP. Loved this bike, so much easier to ride than any sportbike, only problem was trying to keep up with the big boys. If you are a first time rider I recommend the mt-07 over any other entry bike to learn how to ride an actual street bike. First time going on the highway on a windy day on this bike in Dallas, and I thought I was going to die... Little windscreen would help a lot, because with this upright bike, ur chest IS the windscreen.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Yep- Your so right ✅️, Thanks Rio for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻, Please be safe on your bike!! Stay in Touch!

No problem my friend- Thanks for Watching and Commenting 🙏🏻, Stay in Touch!

[@hunterhearne]

Just got one as my first street bike a couple months ago,love it! My screen is the same but the layout is a bit different, I like the layout on this screen a bit more

[@RayBowdenRides]

Enjoy what you got! Be grateful 🙏🏻, Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend!!

[@hunterhearne]

@@RayBowdenRides I figured it out, the menu wheel can be pushed in and you can change your theme 🤯😂 Not the most intuitive 'button' but glad it's an option

[@RayBowdenRides]

@hunterhearne there you go, your glad you finally figured it out huh?

[@Jayjewelerofficial]

Would you recommend this to a beginner or is it too much to handle and it best to get something smaller with traction control?

[@RayBowdenRides]

@jasonpimentel5226 jason it all depends, I'm going to recommend something smaller to start , you can always buy a bigger bike. But you only get one life!

[@YammiePro]

Good to see there going for more used then I payed for new

[@RayBowdenRides]

You like the high resale huh, Thanks for Watching and Commenting DscRides!

Super review!

[@RayBowdenRides]

Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻, Stay in Touch my friend!!

[@Ramiz992]

​@@RayBowdenRidesHello, I have a few questions. My 1st question is where are you from? My 2nd question is, is the MT07 very dangerous? Does the wheel lift off when accelerating? What should be done to prevent this from happening? My 3rd question is, how much is the price of the MT07, how much is the price of a brand new machine? How many liters per 100 km?

[@RayBowdenRides]

@Ramiz992 Dallas Texas, all bikes can be Dangerous- it's how Mature ARE YOU! Don't twist the Throttle as far are as quick will prevent any lift. Yamaha is a Top tier machine. Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Let me know if you have any more questions ok.

[@Ramiz992]

@@RayBowdenRides So, what is the price of mt07 and what is its top speed?

[@RayBowdenRides]

@Ramiz992 I don't know on either, you'll have to Google it.

[@jevonferguson5744]

I’m stuck between mt07 and the r7. I am a beginner 6’2 220. I have took the basic riders course. Would and r3 or r7/mt07 be best?

[@RayBowdenRides]

Really depends on what type of riding position you like. Z900 kawasaki is what you would probably love, the best of all those bikes in one!! Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend! Let me know what you end up doing!

[@jevonferguson5744]

@@RayBowdenRides my commuting is more highway so wonder how that would handle with the wind

[@isaacs3413]

@@jevonferguson5744 an r3 would be more enjoyable on the highway than an mt07 imo. I have a cb650f and the wind is irritating at speeds over 110kmph (60-70 mph). a Z900 is too much for a beginner an r3 has a high enough top speed for highway and will be much better for learning good technique.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Just fine

[@atheistmetal1]

mt07. best. r7 has an uncomphortable ridig position. r3 much less hp

[@giovanhagar]

If Yamaha would put a 3 cylinder engine with around 700cc in this and an SP model with better suspension, I'd be a buyer.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Yep Yep.

[@CartoonWeasel]

Just get the mt09 or 10

[@jevonferguson5744]

Could you get your hands on an r7 to compare?

[@RayBowdenRides]

Eventually one will come thru, when they get one I will sir!

[@Ramiz992]

​@@RayBowdenRidesWhat is its top speed?

[@soufiyaneharag3088]

Nice test bro from Morocco 🙏

[@RayBowdenRides]

Hello Morocco , Thanks for the Kind words 🙏🏻. Thank you for Watching and Commenting too my friend- Have a AWESOME weekend!

[@dinoccio]

Mt07 or sv650?

[@RayBowdenRides]

I love both, but the simplicity of the 650 is so nice.

[@skysoldier856]

Your break analysis is what we came for. Thank you

[@skysoldier856]

But don’t you co it lol

[@CaptainFeathersword]

Nice bike but I would not recommend this to a new rider who has absolutely no experience. It has a little too much oomph for a green newbie. Start with the MT-03.

[@RayBowdenRides]

Probley good advice 👌, Thanks for Watching and Commenting my friend 🙏🏻. Thanks for contributing!!

[@austinkaune888]

Exactly! I didn't grow up riding, so I started on an mt-03 and had it for a yr and a half before upgrading to the mt-07, and I absolutely love it. But to anyone wanting a starter bike, I absolutely agree to go with something smaller. Get a small starter bike, and learn to ride it. Then, upgrade when you feel confident in your abilities.

[@RayBowdenRides]

@austinkaune888 For Sure!

[@trevor2830]

Most of my beginner experience was on this bike. The torque can scare you a bit but the secret to learning this bike is discipline. Use clutch control and learning low speed maneuvers and you'll be good
