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.

[@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

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

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

[@naturalforlife6741]

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?

[@naturalforlife6741]

@@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.

[@Alpoholic]

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

[@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!

[@michaelbongiorno5132]

Best review for an everyday rider I've seen on this bike. Very relatable. Thanks Chase!

[@sherwincody5025]

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

[@krispewkrem3]

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.

[@BLANKBOARD11]

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.

[@savvasgerakios4048]

I was lucky enough to try a 2021 mt07. I loved it. Currently i own a cfmoto 250nk and i didnt feel intimidated on the 07 not even once. 10/10 recommend.

[@milli707]

These little 07's are awesome imo, I have a few buddies with em so I try and ride em whenever I get a chance, l love the way they wheelie! Definitely picking up a 22, thanks for the video! Stay safe out there.

[@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 =)

[@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

[@bufordjustice5767]

OC. Awesome review! Getting my new MT-07 in less than 2 weeks and I can't wait.

[@chad-tacular]

OC - thanks for this review. It is now highly at the top of my “possible first bike” list. 👍

[@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.

[@RuthlessPumpkin]

Waiting to get mine asap, one month out I am hoping! Thanks for the wonderful and informative review. OC!

[@calebsnyder4321]

Thanks for making thus video I have been wanting to get into riding and your mt07 vs r7 videos have helped alot thanks

[@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.

I'm already riding old MT-03 but I already looking for newest MT-07 for next year ! Iove look and the fact that there's no bad opinion about this motorcycle. Just I didn't find any 😅 Also your review is great. Another step to go all in for the MT-07 Thanks a lot 😎

[@ButBigger42]

I have a 2020 wr250r and I'm picking up an mt07 tomorrow. I've had an sv1000, sv650, boulevard m50, and a few dirtbikes. Can't wait to get the mt07 for commuting across vegas to work.

[@We-Cook-It]

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👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽💯

[@Nurlouie]

OC feel like this will be my second bike from a vitpilen 401. Great video! Love the action shots.

[@EinsteinsExotics]

O. C. Love the Mt 07 platform so much you can do to them and it's in the right price range. It can satisfy more than a beginner rider something you can grow into

[@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.

[@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.

I bought one this year, i love the bike so much, and the power is crazy. i just dont like the part that we are to upright, i feel like i want to be more down i cant explain , im tall too, maybe its because of that, im thinking of buying lower handdle bars. great video !

[@HS99876]

good review, the handlebar make a big difference, the one on Mt 07 looks like a adventure handlebar , check Pro Taper Evo adventure handlebar!!! It great a comfortable ergonomics, nice upright seating position, that is why you put many miles on it compare to other bikes!!!!

[@cavedog1279]

I've got one of the older FZ-07 models (same bike, less electronics) and I have to say, on your comment about the abs coming on early - I kind of like not having abs and traction control. Now that's not going to be for everyone, new riders specifically will benefit from abs, but personally I like not having it.

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.
