This might be the BEST bike this year! | 2021 Yamaha MT-07 1 Month Review

[@crum167]

I'm literally picking my MT 07 up today. Woken up at 5am when they open at 9am. It's killing me to wait lol

[@MotoKringles]

Congrats fellow MT07 owner!

[@crum167]

@Firing Order I don't know the name of the colour but it's grey with orange wheels. I like it. And update on picking up my bike.. they said it probably won't be ready until 4pm tomorrow 😭👈

[@chaseontwowheels]

May the fun begin!!

[@sirtrizzle6272]

@@crum167 dang! The torture! I was lucky to go to a dealership and bought it on the spot. Paperwork was about 30 minutes and boom, new bike!

[@MT-THNDR207]

Just respect this bike and be smooth on the throttle while you're getting used to it. Also, be sure to rev match when down shifting and use brakes while coming to a stop... because the engine braking is very aggressive and will make the rear wheel hop.

[@PaulFisher-wz8eo]

Just purchased my MT-07 2024. Everything you said 2 years ago holds true today. I have never had this much fun on a motorcycle. My Honda VTX 1300 and my CBR 500 are in different categories. The nimbleness of the MT-07 combined with the torque is just fantastic. Your video pointed me in the direction of the Yamaha and now it's calling my name every morning. The excitement this bike generates in my soul is awesome. Great video thanks so much. Cheers

[@jkemmery]

So in case you don't want to watch the whole video, the MT-07 is playful. Very playful. It's a playful bike. Playful. And more playful.

[@maomekat7969]

yes it surely must be..haha

[@bryantb3391]

Also it's very quiet even just talking is louder than the exhaust

[@DenverDan80]

And flicky

[@TheArchighves]

@@bryantb3391 seems like it doesn’t have a full system exhaust modification. It could have a slip on, but I doubt it has anything modded. Slap an akropovic system and it sounds like a dream.

[@gritcrit4385]

You also forgot about its playfulness.

[@lovingmylifeasIage6741]

I just changed out my 2021 MT07's mirrors for my old 2009 Street Triple mirrors. They are a lower profile. They look and work great, I love this riding this bike.

[@hackysac4528]

I know this is an older comment but Im looking at MT07 and triumph street triple R. What made you chose the bike you did? Any tips?

[@lovingmylifeasIage6741]

@@hackysac4528 I like the power in the rpm range of the MT07. You can really enjoy the bike around 5k in 4th gear. With the Triumph you need to break 6 to 8k really have the same amount of torque. I can get to a dealer for Yamaha just about any where but a Triumph dealership is over 100 miles away from me and cost of the Street Triple wont get you anymore joy than the MT07. Cost of service and available parts and service is cheaper too. I'm so much more comfortable on the MT07 then I was on my Street Triple.

[@StudyWithM3E46]

This bike sounds like the miata of bikes. Lovable, playful, usable.

[@danielmorris5470]

The miata of bikes is a 250.

[@WaguAndThePointerBrothers]

I just want to say that I’ve been flipping motorcycles for the last 8 years, and the Fz-07 is the only bike that I’ve kept. I’ve had all the 600’s and 1000’s. This bike is just something else.

Got to love the CP2 model range 🔥 don't know a single person who didn't fall in love with this engine during their first ride :)

[@Elvisdukebox]

Had my MT-07 now for a year and it's the best bike I've ever had. I have the blue colour and love it to bits. It put's a big smile on my face every time I go out for a ride. Well Done Yamaha

[@sherwincody5025]

im 63 and have wanted one since they first came out , could feel your enthusiasm

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: Hands down the MT07 is the best bike for just about any rider.

[@Space4ODC]

It can wheelie easily because of the short wheelbase, but because the weight is mostly centered, it means it works both ways : the tail also lifts easily when braking, therefore the ABS will trigger fast =)

[@jaygolds46]

I just swapped my 2020 MT07 with 17,000 miles for a 2021 MT10 and Chase, it’s incredible how you described the “playfulness” difference. I almost regret selling my 7 because the 10 can be a little bit of a beast at times.

[@Sinister_fartbox]

I have the 2022 black

[@chrispewkreme]

Best bike every year since 2014. Thanks to all your videos, I finally snagged one this year. Of all my friend's bikes, the FZ is still the best I've ridden. I can offroad it a little. It's ridiculously torquey. It's great to commute. Absolute hooligan machine yet it gets 65MPG.

[@pine207]

Got my 2022 mt07 4 days ago as my first bike, ridden it 3-4 hours a day each day so far absolutely love it

[@tsandphotog]

Can we get an update? Are you still loving it?

[@pine207]

@@tsandphotog hey! im a massive motogp nerd so i justified in my head swapping over to the r7 after about a year on the mt07. I don't regret the swap at all but the mt07 was a perfect first bike. Upright enough, good turning circle and never had an issue with the power, just tried to be responsible with the throttle! Keep in mind im in australia and had to go through the lams (learner system) so the r7 was the fastest sportbike i could get before someone asks why i didnt get and r6 fr example. The mt07 was awesome heaps of torque for the street and daily commuting to work and university.

[@tsandphotog]

@@pine207 Hey, thanks for replying! I'm glad to hear you loved the MT-07 and I'm excited to see you got an R7! That's the same path I was thinking about. MT for a year or two, then the R7. I love Motogp as well, just not quite as much now that Rossi retired.

[@nateoverall3451]

Ive had my 22 mt07 for about 2-3 months put 3200 miles on it so far and i love every second. I put a windshield and a better seat on it and its totally fine on the highway ive ridden 3+ hours with no issues.

[@csgoh1]

cant agree more!. At 47 and been riding so long on so many different bikes, MT07 is truly a gem for city folks. For me, its even more fun than the Tuono V4R i used to own. Less heat, light and power you can use.

[@robwessels6899]

I got mine the week after you got your loaner Chase. Mine is the grey that you like. I’m loving it. This bike is the perfect return for me after a 20 year layoff from riding

[@cavesuki8510]

I own the FZ07 and FZ10 both 2017’s and boy let me tell you, i am set! Love em both for their own applications, one for commuting and one for weekend trips its always a good time!

OC! bro....i was dead set on an mt09sp and then i find this freaking review of the 7....darn you and my indecision!!!

[@Smallbore2wheels]

from what i have seen this seems to be the bike that someone hooning on a Grom ends up upgrading to. the playfulness is there and the extra power allows you to ride freeway if needed

I have a '22 MT-07 & the brakes I don't like it, now I do like the engine braking, the blinkers switch light staying on I have the same situation then I notice & turn them off, 2nd & 3rd gears are also my favs, the use of this bike is better more for city use & little highway use. awesome & honest review👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽💯

[@AmenCornerRider]

Chase, you nailed this 1 month review 😎

[@ZipKickGo]

For comparison, the cp2 700cc engine is comparative to a 1200c evo engine. A 1200 Sportster will pull off the line harder and quicker but the MT07 will keep up and slowly creep by with the higher top speed. It's practically just as powerful of an engine as a 1200cc thanks to the drivetrain and DOHC.

[@nightmare8162]

thanks i have a sportster 72 1200 2016 and my buddy got a cbr600rr , i am keeping my harley but would like a faster bike but not so far foward like the sportsbike, thought the mt 07 would be faster but i guess not lol

[@ZipKickGo]

@@nightmare8162 Granted, my 1200 has a ram air intake, drag pipes and is a lot quicker than a stock one. My buddy had a tuner on his MT07 but never actually messed with it outside of presets. I also wonder how good his shifting is and he could do a sprocket ratio change to definitely beat me off the line.

[@tormado]

If you want the silliest bike ever, get the mt09. if you want a more practical version of the silliest bike ever, get the tracer. If you want a bike with tons of torque that's a blast around town but sucks at 100+mph, get the 07

[@Fee.1]

Playfulness is lightness basically with a semi acceptable level of power and a low enough weight do you have playfulness. No matter how much weight power/torque a bike has it’s not truly playful if it’s so heavy that you can’t really be a hoonigan on it at low speeds.

[@chaseontwowheels]

I've considered moving down to an MT09 but never an MT07. I think they style of riding an MT07 is good for isn't quite the same as an MT10 at least for me. That being said, I LOVE the MT07. It just feels like a different vibe than the 10.
