Just got one in England - £6,999 ($8,900) with a quickshifter thrown in. Only ABS and TC here, no option without. It's great value in England, £500 more than an MT07, but much better quality all round. With 94 bhp it's the best value you can have here. An MT09 has much more power, but the difference in insurance costs is huge. Excellent suspension, slipper clutch, quickshifter, floating discs, LEDs all round and a great stock sound. I'm delighted with it.

Picked mine up today, similar feel to my Street Triple '13', which I loved. Its firm with great feedback. Front brakes were great straight away but back brake needs bedding in, no feel. Clutchless gear shifts a breeze and gear box in general has a great feel. Ive put an R&G tail tidy on which is on the large size, not sure im 100% sold on its looks but quality is good. Ive set display at max brightness and its still dim through dark visor. I tried hard to get vibes at 6000 revs in all gears and none on mine. Throttle can be a bit on/off at low revs, typical of euro 4. ABS only in Oz. The front indicators are permanently on with front light which is a safety feature and not sure if unique to Australia? Of cause they flash when indicating and looks brighter so perhaps more leds lit. Mirrors are good enough. The clutch grab is at the end of the lever travel which is a slight stretch for my preference. I will be getting adjustable levers, screen to shelter screen and quickshifter before slip on or full system. Highly recommend this bike and Ive ridden alot. Will suit someone who likes to be a bit aggressive, to hoon.

I LOVE inline fours! I got out f the service in 1971 and bought a CB500F. Wow. Best looking built to that time. The pipes were trash. I drove the bike to work and the pipes rotted out every two years. Still I went to Sturgis and the Calvary Stampede, rode down from Shreveport to Houston every couple of months to see my parents. Honda builds an engine that will run forever if you just keep the fluids up. Change the chain and sprockets and you can keep moving, year after year. I now have my second Goldwing(1978 and 2015) and I am a confirmed Honda owner.

@@christopher7310 After borrowing an MT07 for a month long test period and ending up on the CB I wouldn't say "extremely" overpriced, not by a long shot. The overall build quality on the CB is honestly miles above that of the MT. The CB is turnkey bike in every sense of the word. Better components, better fit and finish, better looking. After riding both, it is clear the CB is the more refined bike. The MT feels every bit an entry level bike and that shows in the more approachable price tag. Now with the CB I think the OEM quickshifter should be standard, and with that said $500 cheaper on top. I wouldn't call that extreme, but maybe thats just me. It's a great all around bike for a single stable owner.

@@SuprScout funny thing is, watching him makes me nervous, but if I was riding on the back it wouldn't. when I was young, my older cousin on his little scooter would take me places in Taiwan, and there is no room for error there, everything he passes i fear of hitting my knee, but then i got used to it. As long as he's not causing harm to others, I'm cool with however anyone rides

Rick Sanchez here in the northeast MT09’s are a little more, this is priced right in between a 07 and a 09. I would rather own this, the 09’s are too wheelie happy, just by accelerating hard, makes for slower accelerations when your fighting it, and I personally prefer a i4’s power band

Great review Adam. I think I’d buy the Suzuki GSX s750 which is roughly $800-1,000 less and gives you and additional 30hp.

Pickle Dill get your facts straight, apples to apples dealership retail pricing on those two models are $1,500-1,800 apart, let’s not talk about discounts that’s chalk and cheese.

Excellent review - fun and facts. And always good to see the bike in action over a realistic journey. Good bike too - that price is high but likely soon forgotten over something like an mt07 - great fun, but many more shortcomings. And a bigger bike for everyday use? Forever hitting the 'sensible' speed limits far too soon and probably with less fun. A smallish I4 is a treat.

Ok Adam Waheed I like the new approach. I remember when you said 'Senior Editor at Motorcyclist Magazine', emphasizing the senior and to be honest it sounded really cocky, like you were forcing your credentials down peoples throats. Stick with this new intro, I very much like it.

1975 CB400F type down pipes...also made through 1977. 75 & 76 were the models to have. 77 got high bars, smaller gas tank, ugly graphics... I had a red 75.

I own the blue one, but have a nice NOS red tank waiting to be used. It is a funny bike, cause it makes a beautiful noise but really it is quite slow. The vibrations starts at 5000 rpm but soon disappear around 5500 rpm
@David-rx2to5 жыл бұрын
@42much1 The blue was a nice color too and, I think, a little more rare than the more common red. I never noticed any vibration near that rpm especially since that was pretty much my highway rpm...I regeared mine a little and dropped the stock gearing of about 5200-5300 rpm @ 60 mph, to about 4800 rpm @ 60. I put individual K&N pods on the carbs, a Kerker exhaust and upped the main jet from a #75 to an #85. Of course the sound was great at high rpm but, my favorite sound was the intake bellow it made when I drifted through a stop sign at a walking pace or a slow turn in second gear.

Where i live the mt07 is 7 grand and cb650r is 8500, for that price difference you get a inline 4 engine and a bike with much better build quality. If the price was 8 grand it would be perfect.

I would love to have one of these but not at that price. I am at the point that I have cheap insurance no matter what I ride so I would get the Kawasaki Z900. I hope Honda sells a lot of these and maybe down the road I might get a used one but I personally couldn't spend that on what would be a third bike

I really love the styling of this very beautiful and elegant bike. But the tiny and dim cheapie bolt-on cellphone dash is a HUGE deal breaker. It's absolutely and unacceptably criminal to put such a piece of shit dash on an expensive $10K (out the door) bike like this one. Hope they fix this in the 2021 model and use a stylish high-quality TFT panel similar to the 2020 Kawie Z650/Z900.
