I have a 07. Brother I feel like this everytime I ride her. It doesn't get old!! Stupid fun... Great review, as accurate as you can get.

[@MotoChooch]

Thanks boss!

[@jakebasa1517]

Ladies and gentlemen Motochooch has given his nod of approval of the Mt07!

[@idowantsuasafan]

This vid made me so happy! Bought a 2019 mt 07 in december, its still sitting in the store waiting for me ( i live in sweden snow bleat) cant hide the genuine happyness this fluffy teddybear is showing! Much love!

[@idowantsuasafan]

Got it now! Check my insta! Dunder94

[@motorcycleartist]

How is it? getting mine on may 1st..its this or gsxr750..

[@idowantsuasafan]

Its amazing 1000km on it now, runs like a god, 1-2-3 gear Powerwheelies, 0-160 in seconds, nimble, easy, SICK SOUND (carbon akrapovic full system) torque like crazy, pulls on all gears(carefull on 1-2 cuz it will tip over if u dont are smooth on the throttle. Im 1.88 93 kilo and i sit good on it, u can deffo be shorter, not taller than 2m or ull sit cramped. Overall 10/10 so far

[@robbinblo]

How does it feel now? I just put an order on a 2019 MT 07 from Yamaha Center. Getting it installed with a couple of mods, carbon akrapovic for instance before i can pick it up (i dont even have the license yet for it, lmfao. It's going to be a carrot for sure).

[@lepet76]

Cheers from Sweden! Hämtade min igår från 2015. Underbar!

[@jamesherrington5606]

I just bought a new '18 and will pick it up day after tomorrow. I'm excited.

[@MotoChooch]

Congrats and Ride Safe!

[@kxry4679]

Finalizing my paperwork tomorrow for my 2019 mt 07! Can’t wait

[@thestrippingharibo2370]

Gonna pick up my 2018 next week 😄😄

[@josephhong5129]

I got the 2019 MT07 , I am a happy customer , Kudos Yamaha !😀

[@andrearrindell4]

Dude, your enthusiasm made my day. Great review. I'm now convinced that the MT 07 is the bike for me!!

[@MotoChooch]

Thank you so much! You’re going to love it!

[@printerschamp]

Don't know how this video popped up, but I'm glad you liked it. I have a 17 FZ 07. It is my first bike in 16 years coming from Harley. The joy and fun you had riding it is what I get every time I get on mine. I always tell people as it is stock, she is a mean drunk. Put an exhaust on her and she's downright belligerent.

[@mitchellerickson9836]

I've got a 2015 fz07 with the Yoshi exhaust. Sounds so much bigger and meaner than it is and it is so much fun to ride. Great torque

[@SoulCandyMedia]

You've managed to capture the exact feelings I had when I first test rode my '19 MT07. Such a fun bike 🤙🏼 Awesome vid, mate. Well done!

[@mikedavidson7612]

Great video I loved your enthusiasm on the ride. So I am 48 years old 6'0" and about 240. I grew up on the dirt and trails and my past several years have been spent on a Harley. About 6 months ago I sat on the MT07 for the first time. It was love at first sight. I wasnt sure I was ready to make the change but I did want a smaller zippy bike. Last week I pulled the trigger and bought it. I am so impressed with the ride and comfort of this bike. The MT07 made a sport bike guy out of me.

[@MotoChooch]

Glad to hear you're loving it!!!

[@defaultuser3410]

Just bought a 2020, your enthusiasm has made me even more excited about it than I was before! Thanks for the review.

[@MotoChooch]

Awesome! Congratulations! Loving my 2020 :)

[@joseviray4485]

i own an mt o7 2020 when i saw your vlog i love my bike even more.

[@FlyingPig990]

Really appreciate the view of the ergonomics/rider triangle! Good stuff altogether. I would not hesitate to add this bike to the collection in the wallet would allow

[@jeremycubs8331]

Had this bike 2018 on my direct access training here in the UK, and I must say it's very comfortable, suspension a little stiff for my taste but not too bad, one thing though the vibration is just a bit pronounced at 70mph, again the wind blasting as expected is outrageous lol, overall I think it's a lovely bike, powerful and light.

[@hometownguy7184]

dude!!!i love your enthusiasm!!!

[@minidw1]

Another great vid, and thanks for dropping the sound a little on the intro. Glad the MT-07 has your approval because I've been thinking about getting one

[@TheJumpn]

That really makes me want one even more

[@MC-Racing]

Take a look at the Kawi Z650 also, to see what fits you best, its a very nice bike also :-)

[@mindspinn311]

There’s a reason why this is so many people’s most recommended motorcycle, including myself.

[@lylebarron1153]

Drove a boulevard m50 all my riding life until 2 days ago when I added an FZ07....wow what a fun bike!!!

[@matttabeek3480]

Chooch! Great review. Got a kick out of your genuine happiness. You MUST review the MT 09 as soon as possible. Want to see your reaction.

[@Deetroiter]

I had to like the video based on the commentary alone LOL! Really, though, it's a truly fantastic bike! I was riding around for a while on one that has headers, Yoshimura exhaust, ECU, and dynotuned. The thing ripped HARD. And it sounded absolutely wicked. Fuel mileage was absolutely dismal between the tune and riding it hard, but holy smokes...when it tries to lift the front end easily in 3rd gear, it is all measured in smiles per gallon!

[@jps8941]

I watch a lot of video's about riding, touring, fixing, and driving bikes and by far you are the most excited and happiest person I seen ,so informative great video's you make me feel like buying all the bikes you review just because you are have so much fun on them. Thanks the the great video's.

[@MotoChooch]

Appreciate that thank you!

[@paulopassos8936]

Have one , I know , share and understand your enthusiasm. It is an awesome bike. I'm 230 lbs. Subscribed.

[@MotoChooch]

Still one of my favorites!

[@txhoonigan8863]

your excitement is contagious

[@timsmotorcyclediary]

Exact same reaction the first time I test rode the 2017 FZ-07. Besides the aftermarket exhaust, the MT-07 is night and day if you get steel-braided brake lines.

[@turtle19dad]

I sat on one yesterday and I want one. Although the 2019 kinda has me on the balls of my feet at a stop. I wish the suspension was adjustable. But it’s definitely not a deal breaker.

[@donaldsoncole3095]

This basic UJM bike is a blast!!! It will do wheelies, so watch - it!!! Trust me I know! Get the slip on exhaust, tank bag, and upgrade the front suspension; you now have a FOREVER bike as your weapon of choice!!!

[@migxmoto5267]

Lol 😂 funny I had the same reaction while and after test riding the MT 07 with a Acra can. Loved every second of it!

[@gregm9230]

Lol.... Your enthusiasm alone says it all! 😃 That Yoshi sound is addictive. Great review

[@alexp6409]

Sounds great! Rode one of these at a Yamaha demo event and it was a lot of fun.

[@downdownreece6472]

I have the 2017. Most fun I've ever had on a bike.

[@mausypwns98]

I bought my fz from there when I lived in Dallas and I am still loving it! I am not gunna lie though, I am super tempted by the street triple rs ugh...

[@exothermal.sprocket]

The triple is sorta "smooth" but at the same time it does have buzz in the bars, pegs, and tank. It's not as smooth as a decent inline-4. The CP2 engine in the MT-07 is smoother than the triple for the first half of the revs.

[@mt07toooldtowalk42]

Great review, Just proper honest so thank you, As you would guess by my name I have one and love it to bits. Take care and stay upright mate!

[@KMRFFN]

That’s it. I’m taking one home!

[@phillipmuriithi94]

Very infectious vibes. Great review man!

[@MotoChooch]

Thank you!

[@rgrunity3598]

Looking at this for first bike! Good review

[@Cody13283]

My daily driver, love the fz

[@mpsangha]

*MT -Master of Torque

[@lralcantara]

got the 2019 MT-07 in Ice Fluo... great bike.... want the 09 now....

[@MrRunner]

remapped fuelling won't change the fuel supply on/off, it can only be done on the ECU. Yup, seats are an opinion, but I have yet to meet anyone, including dealers that has anything positive to say. The tester must have had some special rear end.

[@travissearles23]

#AndreTheGiant goes motorcycling!✌

[@chandler828]

"The front will dive on you". Dude, not to be rude, but youre a quarter away from 300, does any bike that size not dive when you front brake?

[@Bredaxe]

Thanks for reviewing bikes Chooch. You and I are about the same size so I get an idea if I'll fit and the comfort level.

[@MotoChooch]

It is my pleasure. 😁

[@justine.3576]

Man I want one of these. That yamaha blue color scheme is sexy

[@motorcycleartist]

im torn between a gsxr750 or an mt07..this will my third bike..cbr1000 07. z10r 06.. yes im only use to liter bikes but honestly once u get the feel for any bike, you adapt..but I practiceeeed a loooooooot

[@ryanlee6291]

I love the enthusiasm

[@johnnygross4415]

I'm doing the easy rider thing, 73, no bills, no wife, all freedom. Need some bags for my clothes is all, would prefer a windscreen, travel

[@MrDlinch]

Plan to buy one in May :)

[@DA2THFA1RY]

It's funny how the MT 07 is the meanest sounding out of the 3 MT bikes, but it's the slowest... it's not slow by any means, but it's not super quick either, perfect for street riding

[@Davidlouis3]

Nice exhaust my man

[@chickenlajumpy]

i want this bike so bad

[@MofosRealReviews]

8:22 when your crush says she’ll finally let you smash..

[@MotoChooch]

LMFAO

[@doctormclovin2634]

Do a review of MT-09 and compare them :D

[@MotoChooch]

It's on the list!

[@SCOTTYDP77]

Loud exhaust are better on bikes as it's safer to be heard on the roads these days

[@MotoGoato]

Nice video dude 🙂 ... but at about 8:42 you say the suspension isn't adjustable ... it isn't on the front but the rear does have preload and also rebound damping adjustment 😉

[@bernardjameswilson]

You make that thing look small. Well I guess I'd do the same since we're about the same size I'm a bit taller but weigh a bit less

[@synhet84]

it is a small bike ;)

[@hotdogoutings]

You look like Hagrid on a bike. Nice review!

[@bc67]

Hey Chooch; any plans on reviewing the new Speed Twin?

[@johnnygross4415]

What's my other option other than a naked bike ?

[@mpsangha]

I hope you can review the XSR, ergonomics wise it's a bit more upright than Mt with a higher seating position. I'm 6'2" so I'm looking for that as my first bike.

[@ryanmeyer9863]

Sounds great!!!!

[@Diragonoman]

New fork springs and heavier oil in front and it stops the dive

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Installed fork cartridges would blow any damper-rod setup away. Expensive but the only full solution.

[@Diragonoman]

Definitely a much better option, but if you were looking for a cheap fix if you just got the bike that’d do you until you could afford

[@kutguy]

I don't know why you were so surprised, MT 07 is a great bike. But I feel that your size is a little too large for MT 07, I'd rather go for MT 09.. Btw I just bought an ice fluo MT07 myself. It's my new year gift to myself lol.. waiting for collecting my bike too

[@bibiranger]

"a bit different" and thats where u were wrong.. MUCH VERY DIFFERENT ahaahah -exhaust

[@jobrookman3590]

I’m thinking about getting one I’ve got a 32 in inseam but it still looks too tall

[@MotoChooch]

Only way to know is to sit on one and see.

[@Davidlouis3]

What’s that exhaust

[@MrKnockout66]

i like it but im worried it would be too small for me

[@msyazwanabdullah]

Great review! Hows does it feel when you take sharp corner...is it fine with your body position?

[@fencepost200]

Nice review! Is that a full exhaust system or a slip on? Which Yoshi model?

[@thelifeofjp1996]

just curious , does the old fz09 metal amazon windscreen fit on this model mt07?

[@darko7223]

Nice

[@travissearles23]

My 2019 MT-07 is the most fun bike i've ever owned! Bought it at #VickeryMotorsports in Denver and rode it to Phoenix while breaking it in! Now at 3,945 miles and it's s wheelie machine!✌

[@mattnyu99]

Great vid @MotoChooch. Between this and the Monster 797, which would you buy with your own cash? It seems like you had more fun on the MT07.

[@MotoChooch]

Tough call. I liked the Ducati for the overall package but the engine was really nice in the MT. If I were shopping I'd have to ride them again to be sure. Based solely on my desire to mod id probably do the MT and change a few things to make it my own. I think maintenance is cheaper on the Yamaha side and that is something to consider for sure.

[@mattnyu99]

@@MotoChooch one follow up. What if a mint 200 mile 797 was same price as a new mt07? So no price difference...?

[@John-pe7ru]

I’m 6’8 and 300pounds would that be ok for me?

[@ryanlee6291]

Maybe look at the new sv650, I think they're roomier

[@vangiwdul]

Ride the Honda Rebel 500. Please.

[@MotoChooch]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3qTYaSHnNeFd6M Already did :)

[@cwongth1]

Thks, nice vid. So, between street twin Triumph & MT07 / which one do U recommend . Awaiting

[@MotoChooch]

Both are really good machines but the riding style is completely different. The MT07 is more for aggressive and sporty riding.

[@cwongth1]

Thks.

[@josephfogus6735]

Im 6 2 245lbs should i get the mt07 or a gsxs-s 750 just afraid being kinda bigger the mt07 might become underwhelming? Any input i would appreciate thanks

[@Noob_Crew_Sledders]

im 6'4, sat on both and the MT was more comfortable and felt a little bigger in the leg area. going with the MT

[@T3XASGHOST]

Older question but my legs began to hurt after a 30min on the 750. I’m 6’2

[@joshstamey3699]

How’s the ride height? Curious for a shorter guy like myself. I’m 5’7”.

[@kef1kef2kef3kef4kef5]

same as me. I own the 18' 07 and i just fit perfectly on it.

[@toofastnobrakes]

Cool bike, but the awful suspension is a downer for me

[@nataliemcdonald9891]

MT 07 or Vulcan s?

[@MotoChooch]

Can't go wrong with either one. Riding style should be deciding factor. Me? I'd do MT07

[@samuelcrumbaker4396]

Blair McDonald the exact decision I have to make as well haha

[@Budagrande]

Same here heheh

[@samuelcrumbaker4396]

Carlo Rhode now the drz400sm and triumph street triple are in the equation, the decision keeps getting harder haha

[@kwanizac]

Was that a slip on or full exhaust?

[@MotoChooch]

Slip on.

[@darko7223]

Kk

[@Nofilter1976]

Chooch, between the MT-07 and the Ducati 797 which do you like more?

[@MotoChooch]

I love the style and feel of the Ducati but you have to take into account maintenance costs. If that's not an issue it is a fantastic machine. Personally I would go with the MT just because I know how much euro bikes are to service. If I'm going to get myself a Ducati I would have to wait for the V4 monster/Street fighter or Multi

[@Nofilter1976]

@@MotoChooch thank you for answering. I'm 42 and finally in a position that I can get a bike and have time to ride, my first choice was between these 2 bikes. I want the ducati but i checked on the maintenance and the intervals arent even as good as the 821 and cost much more than the mt07 plus i would cry if i dropped the ducati lol

[@steve-wu7jp]

You are very entertaining but the scenery is underwhelming. You need some canyon roads 👍

[@MotoChooch]

I wish. Kind of limited to what my dealers permit. Also, there are plenty of performance riding reviews. Mine are more from the perspective of daily livability.

[@steve-wu7jp]

@@MotoChooch Got it. Daily livability is often overlooked and a great niche to fill.

[@frankmalone236]

Lol..Enjoyed review

[@MrRunner]

Really? Hop on- love the torqe and light weight etc-, but no mention of the atrocious seat, the on/off fuelling jerkiness, soft brakes and diving forks. This wasn't a road test at all.

[@yamen16]

Graham Millar this isn’t a stock MT07 so it could have remapped fueling. Seats are opinionated.

[@sneakerjoe23]

He mentioned the seat, brakes and diving front end. Watch the entire video before commenting.

[@kef1kef2kef3kef4kef5]

You can buy a car if you want your bun to feel like it sits on a sofa.. Rear brake is soft but it works good enough. The jerkiness is just a matter of wrist and clutch control. You cant expect perfect brakes and suspension at that price. You sound like these guys who buy the wrong bike for the wrong reasons and then whine about it...

[@FlyGuy457]

Stock exhaust??

[@MotoGoato]

nope

[@FlyGuy457]

@@MotoGoato is it a secret or did you mention it? I am purchasing one this spring and that is the only mod other than a wind screen. Thanks.

[@MotoGoato]

@@FlyGuy457 it's all down to who is selling the bike as to whether it will come with the stock exhaust or not. All official dealers will be able to offer an exhaust upgrade as there is the yamaha factory upgrade option of the Akrapovic. The bottom line though is the exhaust in this video is not the stock exhaust 😉 My 2018 MT07 came with the stock exhaust but I swapped it out myself for a Black Widow full system.

First

[@Mori-Chan613]

hey man , actualy no probs with your technical talk , its just your too big for the bike..like your fiting a medium size t-shirt to yourself...your not doing good marketing to a beautifull bike...sorry but thats the ultimate truth

[@curtisg7924]

Dude he's reviewing the bike not purchasing one. So take it easy with size issues.
