2024 MT-07 FIRST RIDE | RIDE HOME FROM DEALERSHIP

[@kennyvaughn3912]

I am a 64 year old ready to get back on a bike. Have decided on the MT-07 to just ride around on. Came across your video and it was exactly what I needed....plus I live in Wake Forest. Your bike sounds amazing..

[@Paramoto959]

Thank you! The MT is a pretty cool bike, It keeps me on my toes even coming from the world of superbikes, definitely fast off the line.

[@ToreOnYouTube]

The MT-07 is quite cramped on the legs, just FYI, age taken into consideration :)

[@oldineamiller9007]

​@@ToreOnKZbin I'm 67 and I tested a 2022 model last year. No problem at all, easy to ride and absolutely comfy. But I didn't buy one yet because I already own an old MT-03 / 660cc, a BT1100 and a MT-01.

Got a bit of garage goals going on there 😎

[@HORBN234]

Maybe God will help you

[@jlrutube1312]

I have a theory that it's okay to buy a used cruiser because cruiser people generally ride cruisers in a moderate manner and they don't usually over rev them because the power is in the low range, but my rule is never buy a sport or naked bike used because people who buy those type of bikes can't resist riding them hard even during the break in period. This video really confirms my belief.

[@Paramoto959]

I mean I can’t fault you in this logic 🤣🤣🤣 and the bike wasn’t even in break in yet wait until the next few videos ima be riding like a hooligan soon!

[@TheLastUchiha337]

@Paramoto959 2WDW is just short for 2wheelsDynoWorks. If your bike hasn't been flashed yet due to the full system exhaust, I highly recommend you check them out and get the ECU flashed. Total game changer with how much better it rides.

[@Paramoto959]

Gotcha it’s on my radar 100% but I think I’m going to complete derestricting the bike, air box mod, and high flow air filter before I tune. Just so it’s one and done. 😎

"beautiful day out there. are you going to get out on your new bike?" id say "ahh i wish, ive got to get my license first." and they'd say something along the lines of "thats not what i asked. we could care less about that. are you going to get out there and ride that bike today?" and i said "stop tempting me"

I got my 21' MT 07 a couple years ago for around 8.6 OTD. Man I wish I had that fancy display that the new ones have! Taking the baffle out too makes the bike significantly louder by a few DB. The droning is not that bad since I wear earplugs when on the highway anyway. In the urban environment, no plugs; it just gives me the giggles every time I twist throttle just a bit!

[@Paramoto959]

That screen is the best display I’ve had on any bike I’ve owned and I’ve had bikes worth over twice as much!

[@CartoonWeasel]

Went to the dealer friday, immediately after my license exam. Was looking at the xsr, ended up pulling the trigger on the mt07 for first bike. Xsr700 was really nice but it felt an inch too high. Mt07 i can flat foot and its surprisingly comfortable to sit on. Told myself i didnt want an MT. Thats exactly what i might go pick this week if all works out.

[@Paramoto959]

Both good choices!! Whatever you pick I'm sure you'll really enjoy!

[@jimh2061]

Sounds great! This is not a beginner bike i would recommend. I rode this bike at demo days last fall. This bike pulls strong and is fast. Rode the Tenere 700 afterwards and it wasnt tuned the same. No where near as fast.

[@Paramoto959]

I would’ve died if I started on anything other then a ninja 300

[@Paramoto959]

I try to avoid directly recommending any bike to anybody. I used to but it’s impossible to know what would work for others. I started on a 300, other people can start on liter bikes without an issue. Idk each their own.

[@Paramoto959]

It’s a lot of maturity that goes along with it. I know of someone that started on a Panigale 959 Corse edition. Blew my mind at the time but after talking with him it didn’t seem like recommending beginner bikes anymore was a good idea.

Get the 09

[@Distracted_driving_kills]

I still love my MT03 a year and approximately 5k miles later but I just simply want and need more power. I feel like I run the 03 too hard now​@@Paramoto959

[@TimWong49152]

The advantage of black besides the look is ease of cleaning or not having to clean as much. From a 2017 FZ-07 owner with bright yellow wheels, it's a nightmare to keep clean on trips where you may see rain. The wheels also get dirty quicker if you lube your chain the day before a ride. On the flip side, riders and non-riders still stop me to take pictures. Those bright yellow wheels are becoming rarer to see on the roads now.

[@Paramoto959]

I was not about the painted wheels when I bought it because my last bike had red wheels and it suuuuuucked to keep clean 🤣

[@Onboostwrx]

I am learning on a 19 mt07 its a great bike as long as you show it respect you will have no problems!

[@indrawansukarya7229]

Happy for you! Blue R7 is the one for me. CP2 is also great on sport platform. Owning '03 R1, these middle weight Yamahas feels more fun for daily run. And... couldn't agree more on your comment about woman 😅

[@Paramoto959]

Yamaha just makes good bikes bro.. and thanks I tend to say alittle truth from time to time 🤣🤣

[@KillaZamii]

Don’t buy the dna stage 2 kit as it doesn’t add any performance at all as removing the snorkel is the only amount of de-restricting you can do to the stock airbox. I recommend just removing the snorkel and getting a k and n filter to replace the disposable stock filter. The best possible set up you can get is from a “hordpower intake” for the mt07 paired with a full exhaust system and a flash tune from 2wheeldynoworks as others have said. The hordpower is really hard to get yours hands on though as it is a very small company that makes them in small batches. An alternative would be to get the yoshimura airbox replacement for your bike. The downside is it’s more expensive and has a worse design for street use as its filter element needs a lot more maintenance than the hordpower. Also side note. Wish I got the akrapovic titanium exhaust instead of the carbon as the carbon sticks out to the side way too much to the point that pretty much most aftermarket frame sliders/stunt cages can not protect it in a fall. Wish I knew all this before modding the bike but I still love my set up in the end.

[@Paramoto959]

Damn dude thanks for the info I know that took a minute. I appreciate it as I know nothing about this bike right now 😎

[@davidleonard8369]

2021 and up don’t have a snorkel. They just have a rubber elbow on the lid. Easy to remove but I honestly don’t know if it even restricts airflow like the long snorkel on the older models.

Beautiful ride brother! I picked up the 23' in Matte Raven Black last year as my first bike and I absolutely love it! Can't wait for spring. Stay safe and enjoy! I've done a ton of mods already and to combat the antler mirrors as you mentioned, I went with the Rhinomoto Gen 2 bar end adapters with the CRG Hindsight LS 3" folding bar end mirrors. I have to say, it really transforms the bike. I've also done the TST Industries Tail tidy, the TST integrated tail light as well as the TST Mech GTR front signals. Looks amazing.

I was also wondering about the MT07, I took it for a test drive, nice acceleration, the torque does its job. But later I went to the HONDA showroom, got on the HORNET 750 and it was even more fun :) so more power and more torque, and it turned out that Honda had promotions for this model, so I took it :D Anyway, MT07 and Hornet 750, two lunatics and a lot of driving pleasure.

it says ECO mode whenever you are in low rpms and a "matching" gear for the speed you have. ie. 45mph 4k rpm 5th gear

[@Gman9253]

looking for first bike, im between this and a sv 650. i MUCH prefer the look of the suzuki because of the frame like ktm does, but the mt07 has a better powerband, electronic features like driving modes abs and sound by far. the sv doesnt sound that great imo. no clue what to chose tho as looks matter A LOT to me but the electronic features on the sv seem archaic and lacking to say the least

Go sit on both and see which one speaks to you 😎

@@Paramoto959 it was pretty nice but the duke 390 felt great, just not enough power for my liking. ik ill get bored and want to sell it. i think the duke 390 is one of the best looking naked bikes tho. i really like seeing the cage, i guess its considered, which is why i like the sv but the duke 790- is too much $$$ and ill go too crazy with 105 hp. also dont like orange

aye sweet vid man, did you get an ECU flash for the akra? Heard they run too lean when you get rid of the stock exhaust

Nope, not needed the Akro exhaust is made for this bike so it’s the only one you don’t specifically need to do it.

I'm kinda regretting not getting a 09 instead. I feel myself wanting for more power when I get up to 100 km/h.

[@Paramoto959]

I feel like this bike has plenty of power until about 90mph for then it seems to drop off

[@a.p.0.v]

I’m looking at the mt07 as my beginner bike, I’ve ridden a couple bikes but not like that and they’re trying to convince me on a mt09

[@johanneswestman935]

​@@a.p.0.v they don't care about your safety, they just want to make money. If you're not comfortable on the 09, and you have your eyes set on the 07, get the 07. Don't let them talk you into something you don't want. Also depends on where you're from. The US driver license system is crap. You can sit on a bike and go for a ride, even if you are a danger to everyone around you. So if you're American, get the 07. At least in Europe, we have to actually get licensed for motorcycles.

[@l-mac5105]

I own a 2022 MT-07, all black. I installed a full Leo Vince LV One exhaust and had my ECU flashed. It sounds amazing and the performance increased. There are only three things that I don’t like about the bike. The first thing is that the air filter is a pain in the butt to get to compared to my SV650 and DRZ400SM. You have to remove quite a few bolts, fasteners, and panels. I installed a K&N air filter, so fortunately I won’t have to access it again for a while. The second thing that I don’t like is the location of the horn on the left control panel. It’s in line with the turn signal switch and can accidentally be pressed easily while operating the turn signal. The third thing that I don’t like is the lack of tactile feel of the turn signal switch. There’s no click or anything to let you know when you activate or deactivate the turn signal. You have to look at the instrument display to see if the turn signal is on or off. It feels cheap. Did Yamaha change the location of the horn button and improve the turn signal switch on the 2024?

[@Paramoto959]

No it seems like it’s all the same from your bike to mine. Seems like a lot of Japanese bikes have similar setups. It seems like there should be a better set up.

Hey there i have a quick question. Do you recommend me getting an MT-07 after i get my A diving licence ? I had a Yamaha MT-125 that i very much loved and sold like 3-4 years ago. I am gonna pass my licence soon and am looking for a decent bike to buy. Would love it to have some nice power and decent speed limits but not too much either as i know i am a beginner. I'm pretty confident that i could handle it as i understand traffic very well and am pretty good with machines in general. Do you think it's gonna be WAY too powerful for me and too much as for my first "big" bike ? Thanks. Loved the video, the color of your bike and the sound of that exhaust. Cheers !

[@Paramoto959]

Absolutely. Just be careful while you get used to it. It’s got a twitchy throttle that might throw you off at first 👍😎

[@jazellanderos.]

I passed my msf course two days ago and I really want too get those as my first bike. Mainly because of the sound and I hear it’s a super reliable. But I hear it’s too much for a beginner. What’s your opinion?

[@Paramoto959]

There’s really no right answer to what bike you should start on. Everyone has there opinions and honestly I just tell people to start on what ever they feel like cuz at the end of the day it’s your bike and your money. And you know what you can handle better than anyone else. I used to recommend people start on meek 300/400’s cuz that worked for me. Then I got completely called out by a few guys that started on fancy liter bikes and they were totally fine. It’s always a balance. If you start on a 300 you’ll likely be safer then on a twitchy 600. But you’ll be bored to death in a year and want to upgrade. If you start on something bigger it’ll give you room to grow into the bike and you won’t be trading in so soon. And you’ll likely have more fun.
