[@CycleCruza]

Thanks for being a long time viewer! Viewers like you is what keeps me doing videos. I love chatting with you all about bikes in the comments. Y'all are the one of the reasons I got this bike, many of you said how fun this bike is and y'all were right. Fun lil bike.

[@CycleCruza]

*NEW VIDEO:* The MT-07 is a CHICK BIKE? Lol See My Funny Response: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoiteHWZep53apo

[@DJ-jw6vm]

I have exactly this bike. I had ordered an MT-09SP and waited months during the chip shortage for it to arrive, only to be told last December I’d have an indeterminate wait. So, I decided to get an MT-07 to tide me over until the chip shortage got sorted, and bought a Tech Black 2022 that had just arrived in the dealership. Like yourself, I love the looks. The headlight has loads of character, and the lines of the bike overall are aggressive and menacing, just like a like a bike should look. This is the most Motörhead motorcycle I’ve ever seen. But looks aside, you’re absolutely right about how much fun these bikes are, so much so I doubt I’ll upgrade to an MT-09. The engine is an absolute blast. The pull down low is fantastic with the front wheel lifting in 1st and 2nd gears on engine power alone - no clutch needed. That coupled with the very light weight of the bike makes it so easy to handle. Near where I live, there are very tight riverside roads with numerous hairpins, and I drag pegs on this bike up there regularly. The bike just flicks in and out of tight bends like a BMX with an engine strapped on. Stellar handling. The eager throttle and strong engine braking give the ride a sense of urgency that defines the hooligan-ness of the bike. It begs to be hooned all over town. It will bring the devil out in you, for sure. I commute daily on it, and I carry lots of gear, so I’ve a Givi back box and Yamaha’s OEM side bags. The upright seating position makes it super comfortable. I’ve the Puig Adventure screen on it, which works very well. This bike could easily tour very comfortably. I’ve ridden the Tracer a few times and they’re bulky by comparison, and I’d happily call my MT-07 set-up a wise man’s Tracer. I can carry as much gear at similar speeds, in similar comfort, but with less bulk in tight traffic. The MT-07’s nibbleness in town beats the Tracer to death. I ride in the city every day, and I like to get to work and home as fast as possible. I don’t hang around. On weekends, I’m in the mountains, riding as hard as I like, and the fuel consumption is currently on 25km per liter. That’s just nuts considering how I ride. When I first got the bike and was taking it easy (still having fun, though) I was getting over 30km per liter. This bike has been an absolute revelation. I’ve ridden a fair few bikes, and this is the one, cheap and all as it is. Actually, its being cheap makes me less precious with it, so I ride it in a more carefree way. There’s no way I’d be dragging pegs on a brand new $15,000 bike. I hit the angles on this very quickly after getting it. So, my verdict on the MT-07 is that every motorcyclist should spend at least one full day riding one of these, if not owning one during their riding career. This is a benchmark bike. After getting to know this bike, everything you ride afterwards will be compared with it. The 2023 has the TFT, which you’d prefer, but I reckon Yamaha will overhaul this bike soon enough, especially with the new Hornet landing loaded with electronics and other extras for a lesser price. I’ll keep this bike for at least another two year, and I’ll look at what’s on the market then, but if Yamaha don’t change the fundamental nature of the MT-07, I’ll probably get another one, or maybe just keep the one I have and spend on some big upgrades such as a full exhaust and front and rear suspension, which it doesn’t really need, but which would be fun to do.

[@Ottienger]

I love my 2021 mt07 as well. I did some the changes you talk about in this already. I did the tst tail light but with the high mount license holder and just a budget exhaust for now. Apparently in some countries, the akra titanium exhaust was offered as a factory upgrade from dealers as well.

[@ccol009]

I really like the information / gauge cluster.

[@IvanRides]

Just like classic CycleCruza. Forgetting to turn off that turn signal 😂

[@jesusbenito5389]

I agree with what you said about the rear fender. Another think that I don't like is that the engine gets too hot easily on warm climate, and the engine fan kicks in all the time. Apart from that, it is an awesome mechina!!

[@James-sir]

I like stock Harley exhaust because most of the aftermarket exhaust is too loud for me

[@chickenfixn4439]

Looks like the 2023 is coming with the TFT! I'm really wanting to get one withing the next couple years

[@arnaldofettuccine5227]

Oh yeah, the engine breaking on that bike is insane. but handy in stopping by downshifting. 🏍

[@CycleCruza]

As stated in the video, a slipper clutch would be nice. Yamaha needs to come out with a SP version, I think most people would be willing to pay an extra 2k for some premium features.

[@SteveM-426]

Should have kept the Honda and did the mods to it. Glad I still have mine. Love your Body of Work!

[@MT-THNDR207]

I would suggest adjusting the rear preload since it looks like it's squatting quite a bit for your weight. Once adjusted, the bike definitely feels more peppy and agile.

[@SW-tl8rb]

I agree the headlight on this model is so much better looking than the older one I have. But I don’t look at it when I’m riding so as long as it lights up the road enough I’m fine with it. I’m more of a function over form kinda person. Which makes me laugh (not out loud) every time the guys are excited about a cosmetic change and I’m like meh about it

[@multi-taskconstructioncomp5749]

Cyclecruza I love the mt07 and supermoto, now we need to see a very interesting bike that blows us out of the water for the channel! Nothing but love , no hate!!!

[@CycleCruza]

Like what a $30k Ducati Streetfighter V4s to ride around town looking fast? lol Been there and done that with a Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory and it was pretty boring and hot af in the summer with that superbike engine throwing heat. Really, I just wanted a lightweight torquey bike and do some wheelies and listen to great sound which this MT-07 is great for.

[@mrhands2757]

I think the mt07 is the best in its class for the price, it looks fun, the only thing I thought was the fender, the set up you got fits the bike better, looks awesome and fits more with the front end, I think, .... awesome bike!!

[@vandall0160]

Add the ability to disable the ABS without removing the fuse. Careful on the oil pan, I think it called for 24 Ft. Lbs. on the drain plug, but mine split on first oil change at 18 Ft. Lbs. $76.00 to get new pan and gasket. 20 weight fork oil improves front end bounce from the factory 15 weight, but will eventually get the Progressive Suspension Monotube Fork Cartridge Kit - 31-2543, as I have heard from many that it makes it much more solid to the ground, and can be purchased and self installed for under 400 bones. Sure beats a new fork install for 1-2K! Not that I consider the front end to be bad, just like to know if I need to emergency brake that I have made it as safe as possible. I wouldn't do anything over 20 weight, as the ports inside the forks cannot handle thickness through its ports and will jar your teeth out as opposed to giving you smooth bounce. Have seen others try and reports are that it removes the actual suspension functions when riding bad roads. Do not get the Atlas throttle lock for the 2021-22 MT-07, the throttle housing is too small for the pad to make good contact and no matter if you tighten it to full, the entire system rolls around the throttle (Got mine yesterday and spent 2 hours putting it on and off trying to make it work, filling out return form to get my $145 back). I would also say the MT07 makes an ample tourer as we some days spend 8+ hours in the saddle, and have traveled 4-500 miles on multiple occasions. Great in CC, keep em coming! Love my MT07!

[@erinsable]

after i dynod my great mechanic karl batey frm wattleflat adjusted my suspension, n the tweak impoved it greatly

[@finderskeepers6684]

Agreed, the screen is too bright at night( I think you can change the brightness not sure yet tho). My #1 is how quiet the exhaust is, its nice to hear the motor...but it's also nice to be heard in busy areas for safety purposes. Also the tank flares sometimes can get in the way if you are making low speed tight turns. Can't wait to hear the new exhaust!!

[@therealrealshocker]

Yes you can adjust the brightness of the screen

[@finderskeepers6684]

@@therealrealshocker Nice thanks, i'll RTFM :)

[@CycleCruza]

You can change the brightness, just hold down the switch for a few seconds and some bars come up on the screen. Bike turns great to me, much better than some of the other bikes I had. I will be putting on the new exhaust and a flash tune soon. I can't wait to hear this engine come to life!

@CycleCruza you can put the Koso RX4 display on that bike that looks pretty good and let's you see engine temperature and trip display plus just looks better. You should check it out and see what you think.

[@lucasmager5557]

I have difficulty reaching the horn button when I need it most!the indicator switch is a bit flimsy not clicky,and the stock indicators look better but if you knock them a little they pop out and are a pain the get back in! And the stock seat is uncomfortable after about 30 mins other than that I love it,I disagree about the buget screen I think they look cool and are a lot easier to see than the previous generation

[@SeaBiscuitBeyondDeep]

You think it is good now but when you install that full system Akropovic exhaust you are going to speechless. Words cannot give it justice.

[@matts4852]

I wish my 2021 mt07 had the key in front of the display and I wish it would use the left trigger button to cycle the display, as well as show the odometer and temp at the same time.

[@richardwarsinske7064]

Not sure if we'll ever see a SP version of the MT07 but I wouldn't be surprised if Yamaha isn't forced to upgrade the bike to be competitive with the new Honda Hornet. Adding the R7 upgrades (better fork, adjustable shock, slipper clutch, better brakes, quick shift option) would be a good start that shouldn't affect the price too much.

[@joeyp4196]

The Hornet is UGLY

[@richardwarsinske7064]

@@joeyp4196 Who cares if it motivates Yamaha to upgrade the MT07? I'm also guessing the better looking (IMO) headlight unit from the CB650 would easily mount the the Hornet since they use the same fork.

When unleashed in an aftermarket exhaust, the MT-10 sounds a V8 engine. Very cool. I just wish they would ditch the robot look on the MT-10 already.

[@alloounou6900]

It's a good bike but gotta agree with you on this video. Also helped me to realize that it's power is all in the low end. My friend has a 600cc and he can outpace me in the high end easily.

[@BenTV73]

[@stevezeeTee]

What do you think of the upcoming Honda Hornet 750cc 270° parallel twin? Seems to beat up the mt on everything except in the looks department.. lol

[@fredmaldonado9204]

Hey Cycle Cruza, the guys in NYC are installing Akro mufflers on scooters. And the Scooters sound like big bikes. You turn your head. And all the guy did was change the exhaust can.

[@MT-THNDR207]

Fyi mista Cruza, the MT-07 CP2 variant does not have a slipper clutch because it greatly benefits from engine braking. It adds to the aggressive fun of this machine. Once the ecu is flashed, the engine braking becomes more linear and less abrupt.

[@michaeljd44]

Dear Cyclecruza, I have watch all your videos and once again this was another well thought out video. I like that you choose a topic and really dive into it . Usually when I ride one of my three motorcycles I have a destination in mind. If I’m on my WR 250 I’m heading to the fire trail to ride and explore. If I’m on my Harley cruiser or Ninja 650 I’m heading to work or the gym or errands. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the ride wherever I’m heading but the bottom line is that I do have a destination in mind. I go from point A to point B. You just go from point A to no where in 98% of your videos and only very rarely have I seen you arrive anywhere. Once in a while you’ll go to a cycle store but that’s about it. So my question for you is , “where the hell are you ever heading to in all these videos?” Also, in prior videos you have given some sad recounts of your past history with your brother and family as well as financial advice and I thank you for that, but I want to know more about you at this current time in your life. Please consider looking directly into the camera and really let us get to know you better as a person. Even the band Kiss eventually removed their makeup to reveal they’re true identities as well as Speed racers brother, Racer X and the Lone Ranger. I will keep watching your videos even if you want to remain hidden inside your helmet but I hope that one day you really introduce yourself “properly” as you would say. I thank you for all your work on this your motorvlog. You inspire me to keep on riding at the age of 54 when most people think I should grow up and stop riding. Thank you, “Deuces and Peace Out.”

The only thing I didn't like about my MT07 was no cruise control. Commuting on the highway everyday into Atlanta. I just want to cruise into the city on the way to work. With my MT09 SP I find myself in a better mood once I arrive. But that's the only thing I didn't like about the MT07. I loved the bike. It doesn't have a SP model, because the MT07 is meant to be a bare bones fun bike for the city on a budget price. Tacking on another 1500 to 2k for a MT07 SP model you'd come close to the base price of a MT09. Which in turn would affect MT09 base model sales.

How and where would you mount your phone?

[@veljkovic92]

I'd also like Yamaha to add cruise control since i also tour on 07 and i know there's lots of people who do. So some kind of SP edition would be great from the factory. 👍

[@MT-THNDR207]

They can't add cruise control unless they add a ride-by-wire throttle, which would be a bad choice.

Haven’t ridden the MT07 but based on the reviews I’ve seen I think the 2021 Harley Davidson Sportster S (which I have) is probably comparable in terms of fun to the MT07. Check it out if you ever get a chance, dealers can’t keep them in stock.

[@organichotdog3807]

There is an SP model of the MT-07. It's called the Yamaha R7. They share the same engine, but the R7 has an assist & slipper clutch, fully adjustable front and rear suspension, and an optional quick-shifter! Sure, if you wanted it to be comfortable, you'd have to swap the clip-ons for handlebars. Personally, if I really wanted an MT-07 SP, I would buy the R7, put on handlebars, and toss the fairings (sell them on Ebay). Then I would slap on an XSR700 or similar headlight. It would definitely be cheaper and easier than buying an MT-07 and trying to upgrade it to the level of an R7. The only thing missing would be cruise control. But If I really wanted cruise, I would go for the 2022 XSR900. Although I hear Euro5 cut the cojones off of 2nd gear on the XSR900, so maybe I wouldn't get it.

[@whodat4265]

I’m gonna go with the sv650

[@l-mac5105]

@who dat That’s what I did. A few years ago, I decided to purchase a 2020 SV650 over the new redesigned MT07. That V-twin engine with a Leo Vince Duals GP exhaust sounds amazing. It has plenty of torque. I also like the retro look. One of the first mods I did was replace the stock headlight with a Motodemic LED headlight. It’s very bright and looks cool.

[@love4boost]

The new base 3rd gen MT-09 suspension is light years better. The only difference with the SP is the Ohlins rear which is more bling than anything. It’s not actually needed. The base suspension is perfectly fine. Now me personally, I could benefit from a rear shock with a custom spring because I weigh 300lbs and I think it maxes out at 350lbs so I probably push the limits of it more than most. I also spend a lot of time in the mountains so it definitely gets a workout from me but I really have no complaints because it takes the abuse with no problem.

[@bradsmith9689]

Cruza are you sure that the MT-07 is better than the CBR 1000 ! The MT- 07 should be 3rd place.

[@scottferry171]

It will be sold next year, like the others.

[@eNjoiipiNoY]

Get a flash tune from 2WDW, it'll damn near get rid of that engine braking. I have the same bike and I love it! I have M4 RM1, Hordpower intake, and 2wdw tune, it goes Super Saiyan after that.

[@CycleCruza]

I use the Dynojet PV3 to flash the ECU for a few reasons, you don't have to send the ECU off and you can do as many different tunes as you want and you can always flash it back to a stock ECU when you want to sell the bike and take off the mods and sell them separately.

They need to make those bikes in adult sizes. It’s small. U look huge on that thing. Not being negative at all, just an observation. If ur just shootin around town probably fine. I checked out the MT series as I was bike shopping a few months ago. I’m 6’1”, 34 inch inseam. Soooo much wanted the bike to fit me but no way. Glad ur enjoying it though 🎉.

[@reallyoldfart6540]

Palmetto bug landed on my back during hurricane Ian, which had me running around the bedroom with a flashlight like a crazy person, unless the MT-07 has a Palmetto bug dispenser that occasionally sends one up your back or leg, don't see anything to hate.

[@therealrealshocker]

I knew you'd love that bike! I told ya! It's basically a big Grom on steroids! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@CycleCruza]

I never understood the Grom connection, the Grom is a mini bike and the MT-07 is not.

[@therealrealshocker]

@@CycleCruza you won't understand UNTIL you ride one... It's just one of those things, the way it feels. Not the power but the way they feel under you. The way they turn and sit. Imagine shrinking the MT07 to Grom size. It's still a blast to ride around and do hooligan 💩 but without the testosterone of the CP2 engine.

[@James-sir]

I agree 7 looks better then 9

[@christopher7310]

Making an SP version would be a waste of time for Yamaha. The mt07 is starting at right about $8,000 brand new. Add about $2,000 to give it the full SP package that the mt09 got and we're at $10,000 to start. The mt09sp starts at $11,000, the Kawasaki z900 starts at $9,000, the Suzuki GSX-s750 starts at $8,500, the Suzuki GSX-s1000 starts at $11,300, and the triumph Street Triple R starts at $11,000. What I'm saying is that if Yamaha were to increase the cost of the Mt 07 then they would never sell one. Even with an upgraded kit, the entry price puts it in competition with much better bikes with similar price tags. I would never spend $10,000+ on an mt07 but I would spend just about that price or a little bit more for all but one of those bikes I listed. The two things I really hate about my mt07 is the throttle and the suspension. I've already ordered a new front end and rear suspension kit and I'm patiently waiting for them in the mail. I'm hoping to get them installed soon so I can enjoy the last of the season on a ride that doesn't feel like it wants to kill me when I push it in the corners.

[@amococ2487]

You wouldn't spend $10k on an MT-07, but now you're going to change the front and rear suspension. So they should just sell an SP version then 🤷

[@christopher7310]

@@amococ2487 no, I would not spend $10,000 on MT 07. I paid $6,000 for my 2019 MT07. And my front suspension swap is costing me $250 and my time. But, if you think Yamaha is going to upgrade the suspension and the brakes and make an MT07 SP package and not jack up that price to the point that no one buys it due to competition, your delusional. It will never happen. If it does happen, it will be a sign of desperation in a rapidly expanding and very competitive bike segment.

[@amococ2487]

@@christopher7310 delusional is a bit harsh. I wasn't having a go at you. Just saying that there are people who would like a better suspension set up on the MT-07 and are willing to pay to upgrade it later. (Myself included) So, I believe there is a market for an SP version. (Maybe not at $2k more though)

[@Blasphemario]

I love this bike so much, the only thing that really annoys me is the front forks. The conventional suspension just looks so bad, I'm sure it does the job just fine, but I would love to see some usd forks on that bike, I don't know why they would cheap out on that specific thing. The bike just looks smaller and skinnier the way it is now. I think it looks better in real life than in video though. Anyway, no ACTUAL bad things to say about the MT-07 though, it's just a bike that does everything great for such a low price. Just get one.

And I think the opposite, to me the XSR700 looks old skool looking and not as good looking as the new mt-07. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It just comes down to what flavor you want in a bike.

@@CycleCruza interesting well you’ve got yourself the perfect bike then. I don’t like the new XSR, I like the old Gen., do you think they’re ugly too? Great thing about them is you get amazing ability to customize so I put the new dash on old bikes for people all the time. I’d do that with the old xsr if I got one. But I love the z900 RS Cafe so idk what ima get next besides your YZF

[@Fee.1]

Slipper clutch is have nothing to do with engine braking they reduce back torque yea? Have I missed some connection to engine braking ?

[@davidleonard8369]

The slipper clutch is intended to prevent rear wheel lock up or slipping when down shifting due to engine braking. So there’s that.

[@apriliaguy4life198]

My R1 was too quiet as well. Catalytic converter really kills the sound.

[@CycleCruza]

It is a shame they keep restricting the bikes. My former 2017 Tuono stock pipe wounded real nice, same with the XDiavel. However, I bet the new models of those bikes don't sound as nice. Every year they get more quiet until gas bikes get banned all together.

@@CycleCruza yessssss I can't wait! 🙌🏼

[@davidleonard8369]

@@CycleCruza I hope you like the results you get with the exhaust. I have a Chinese yoshi copy with a Chinese sc project can. It is a beautiful exhaust with perfect fit and finish. But it’s amazingly loud even after trying some other silencers and many baffle types and combinations. When accelerating through the gears it sounds like a 427 cobra v8 but when cruising on the highway it pretends to be a Honda SL 70 with a broken head pipe. By the time I found a way to baffle it enough to live with the thing is more restricted than the stock exhaust. So I just put the stock exhaust back on for now. Now I’m looking at larger mufflers with more internal volume to hopefully tone it down a bit without being too restricted. But for now the stock exhaust is pretty easy to live with.
