Yamaha MT-07 TEST RIDE!

[@chuckylugs9607]

I’m a returning rider after 30+ years ..showing my age there! Had a test ride on this bike in October and I absolutely ‘loved’ it, so much so I’m collecting my new MT-07 tomorrow 🥰

[@Green.Current]

I'm also getting this bike (2021 model) in a few months after a 5 years pause of riding. For me it's the perfect balance between price, performance and quality. Cheers !

[@CraigSmith568]

0-60 in 3.3 and 12 second quarter mile times isn't slow. It isn't the fastest bike made for sure, but I wouldn't call it slow.

[@1up_doug]

with a simple exhaust, airbox mod and tune, the bike wakes up even more an is honestly not anything to take lightly in the twisties. i 2-3 power wheelie mine out of corners.

[@CraigSmith568]

I have been surprised a time or two when I had it wound out and it pulled up when I hit the next gear.

[@hathaway.1166]

Faster than a Type R for sure lol

[@Brancovtn65]

It's a very reliable and fun bike. With exhaust and ecu flash, mine has never left me bored, and I've owned it for almost 2 years now. Clutching up is effortless, and a simple 1-2 gear pull with enough weight on the back of your seat will pop the front end up nice and smooth-like *in stock form*. I would highly recommend this bike to anybody period.

[@MoeOthman]

*Could you do a review on the new 2020 kawasaki z650?* thank you!

[@OakleefMoto]

This was the bike I had on my driving school. An older model of course, but it's such a good bike to learn on. Very nimble, as you say, and easy to ride. Watching this, really brings back memories. 🙂

[@patarpn]

Definately my choice when I get a new bike

[@aphexbubblebath]

me too. alsto the sound of mt07 with aftermarket exhaust is amazing

[@xenogears5177]

I have an MT 07 with a full Akra Carbon exhaust.. I've always loved the inline-4 sound, but this parallel twin sounds fantastic. Due to the crossplane crank it sounds much better than the ninja 650 (and im a little bit of a kawasaki fanboy).

[@Diff727]

XenoGears 51 have you rode a ninja 650? I have a Vulcan s that has the 650 engine in it but I’m looking for a step up in performance and a naked bike

[@xenogears5177]

David Cundiff it’s not necessarily that much of a power increase as it is sound. But there’s a slight bump in power. If you want a lot I would look more towards MT09, Z900, etc

[@Diff727]

XenoGears 51 thanks for the reply. Kinda eyeing the cb650r too

[@UncleSlendy]

I have a 2016 FZ (before they renamed) and I love this thing. I could never get rid of it.

[@EtaParseids]

I have a 2017 FZ07, LOVE the bike. Sounds sexy with an exhaust, and while it may not have the power of the 09, it does great as an everyday commuter bike that still has enough power to have fun.

[@Kasperblk]

That’s the reason I got the XSR900 which is essentially a retro MT-09. I love it, such a fun bike.

[@billywebb9614]

Hhmmmmm.... MT sounds more like a Sportester category. Cause my tank is always MT. Badaboom Ching... Thank you, thank you very much, I'll be here all week, please tip your server.

[@mr.b3168]

What

[@Matt-dd1zr]

eMpTy 😂👏

[@billywebb9614]

Yeah, my 07 Nightster has a 3.3 gal tank....soooo, it likes gas stations.

[@CraigSmith568]

Using a torch at work once and ran out of oxygen. Had my buddy go get another tank and hook it up. It was empty and had MT wrote on it. I told him it says MT right on it and he told me they all had that on them. He just didn't get it. Had to explain it to him and he had been in the business for 20 years.

[@texttwenty-nine1627]

I have a 2015 fz07 tuned, quick shifter, and full exhaust. Fantastic little bikes. It's got almost 8k miles on it. Only thing it's ever needed were tires and oil changes. If anyone is looking for an awesome starter bike, look no further. Just be wary of 1st and 2nd gear. My buddy had one too. Pinned it in 2nd gear and it flipped out from underneath him.

[@tomboyabit]

Thanks for the review. I did my exam on Yamaha, should surely get back to trying more of them. And even maybe start properly reviewing too for my channel. Wishes from across the pond.

[@gatesb7757]

I test rode the r6, mt09 and xsr900 last year. Was never a fan of the mt09 and liked the styling of the xsr900 but to my surprise really enjoyed the mt09! Love the companies that do this!

[@Maynard93]

Dude I’ve been looking at these. Thank you for the test drive video!

[@3upham1sm]

Block, out of the bikes you've been test riding, which would be your pick for a commuter? Love the content!

[@chrisb9960]

That's a great question.

[@smilinazzdoggy825]

Top 3 commuters?

[@BigJock0]

This is the bike I learned on, I felt it was a bit small for me though. Very comfy though and easy to ride.

[@ilove2wheels44]

My very first bike was a 2018 MT-07 it was a amazing fun bike and learned so much and learned from my mistakes great starter bike. I just upgraded last month to a 2020 MT-10 it’s a monster.

[@Dan84888]

That's my next upgrade from my 2019 MT07 thats or either a MT09

[@r.heinrich3364]

Good review. I agree, if you're not total a beginner, the MT09 is the better choice. You get a lot bike for the money. Recently took the same route and I'm glad I did.

[@quietguy61]

I did all the research and got a 2017 FZ-07 ABS as my first bike moving from an Aprilia 250 Sportcity scooter. It's kind of a beast and I love it. I have had it for a year, and there's plenty of bike to grow into. You can ride it tame or hooligan. The stock bike will do both, no problem.

[@kurvaonwheels]

That's my bike and even in the same color :) Love it, it's my first one and definitely no regrets.

[@Dan84888]

I agree I Love mine its such a great bike

[@josegomez-jk7ys]

I have a 2015 its a nice bike. It a great platform for a for a new rider, easy maintenance with a bulletproof engine, plenty of aftermarket stuff for it. I have an EJK kit with a yoshimura full exhaust it brings out the little beast.

[@Legacy_cycles]

I’m SO glad you did a review of this. I’ve currently got a softball low rider and I’m looking to get this as a second bike. I’m gonna keep the low rider as my daily and the Fz07 will be my weekend/hoonigan bike

[@mr.b3168]

Im doing the opposite now. The 7 is daily

[@mindspinn311]

MT-07 is the bike I recommend to anyone, for any experience level. It’s one of the best and most enjoyable motorcycles on sale, at any price. I bought an FZ-07 in 2015 and miss it. I would buy the MT-07 now but I know the 2021 will be the next generation.

[@Dan84888]

I agree had ridden a few others and the comfort and the power from the MT07 sold me its perfect for everyday riding .

[@AnthonysWestTexasRides]

the 900 tracer GT would be my choice for fun and a good commuter!

[@RevechoRides]

This is a great bike! Personally, I'd pick up the XSR900 / MT09

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

Revecho Rides probably one of the worst starter bikes is the MT09. Suspension is horrendously tuned and the power is way to snappy for anyone without some riding experience under there belt

[@bigj200016]

I was damn close to pulling the trigger on a leftover ‘18 MT-10. But decided to go with the Ranger instead. Gotta work with the Sport Glide for a little more. Oh well. It’s a great combo bike. Great for distance (did a 3400 mile, 6 day trip last year and looking at a 6,500 miles 2 week trip this year if this virus ever goes away) and around town with the bags and batwing taken off

[@aaroneaton4849]

Man thanks.... kinda seals the deal for me. Just got approved for financing on an mt-07.

[@Dan84888]

Did you buy it already ?

[@aaroneaton4849]

@@Dan84888 Ha!.... you know... at about the time you posted this comment, I was INDEED buying the MT-07. so fricken happy I did. such a sweet right.

[@scottweekley5489]

I went to that college you rode by. Nice video.

[@ShinigamiShionZ]

Bought this last month. I wheelie to work everyday to be honest. Came off an R3, love this thing. Do want to purchase an R6 though so me and my mrs can go for a ride once she passes her test

[@miketverdov7996]

I’m 6’4” and am strongly considering this as my next bike. Would my size be an issue?

[@facelessBE]

6'4 here aswell, just went to check one out at a dealer and it's doable, ofcourse depends on your proportions so I'd say go check it out at a dealer and sit on one

[@jeffwebb727]

Any chance you will be checking out the MT-03 for a review now that they have been in the U.S. for the 2020 and 2021 model years? Great review on the 07! Thanks for sharing this.

[@patrickfreeman205]

Can you do a video explaining what a quick shifter is? Thanks. Keep up the good work.

[@tonywalker6745]

Would be interesting if you compared the acceleration of your Harley Low Rider S with the MT-07. Think the MT-07 may be the same or even faster accelerating than the Low Rider S. Only ask as you stated how this bike was tame compared to the other MT bikes. Not a Harley hater l own 3.

[@PennsylvaniaDualSport]

The sound of an inline was never very appealing to me.. except the new Triumph Tiger, which changed the firing order to make it sound a bit more lumpy. I'd go with the MT07 simply for the pleasing note of a parallel twin. Thinking of picking two of these up for my wife and I since all our machines are dirt biased

[@NodealWallace51]

Thank you! My wife is finally on her Motorbike license, starting with her driving lessons as soon as corona lets her. We thought about the mt 07 as her beginner bike for the first one of two years, Untill the New sporster generation is out.

[@ridehead8771]

Technically it's not categorised as a Beginner bike, Middle weight rather, it has a top speed of 130mph and ridiculous amount of torque. 👍👍

[@500Sander]

@@ridehead8771 Its a good starter bike for people who can contain and manage themselfs. Its also a great bike for experienced people who do not want something crazy fast but fun at lower speeds.

[@socialising6037]

Would this bike be as fun acceleration as my 350 dirt bike or should I be looking at the mt09

[@MrNosajwhitey]

Looking forward to seeing you test ride Harleys version of a sports bike

[@ponslur7801]

i am 13 and i already know this is what i want my dream bike

[@jeffmonk2142]

I have 2017 fz-07 and I love the thing.

[@Dan84888]

Me too I have a 2019 and it's such an amazing bike to ride

[@boydbaggens]

I always enjoyed the mt07. “Little” wheelie machines.

[@Dan84888]

I agree its so easy to get these to wheelie.

[@itszac3313]

So I am 16 and I am saving money for a bike I want a grom but I heard it isn't a good bike to start on since you grow out of it to quickly so would this bike be a better starter

[@stephen5665]

Yes this would be a good starter bike. However, you will still get bored of this too. I would get a cheap used one to learn on if your not confident on bigger bike. I would reccomend you to take the MSF course.

[@vladtalpos7303]

What camera are you using? Nice bike, nice footage!

[@danc.5362]

mt-07 or z650 which would you buy.

[@ryanjacka9478]

I'm 5'10 ½ tall, age 28 and ride a 1988 cbr250r mc19 inline 4 since 2015. Looking at stepping up to a MT-07 or MT-09 for my 2nd bike as I like more power/torque. Enjoy riding on highways/towns/commuting/riding dailys. What bike do you reckon is good?

[@universal3786]

Mt 09

[@1manairband]

Would you say MT-07 over an MT-03 for the starting rider?

[@BmxDieseldude]

I think it depends on who you are as a new rider. If you feel confident balancing the weight, know how to drive a manual transmission car, have taken a riding course and have the brains to not get cocky within the first couple thousand miles than the 07 will probably serve you well. Conversely, if you this is your first introduction in to messing with a clutch and you havent built any muscle memory of controls in a rider course I'd start smaller.

[@1manairband]

@@BmxDieseldude After looking around at other reviews it sounds like there is an issue with the front shocks being to loose or bouncy on the MT-07 do you know if they have fixed that?

[@BmxDieseldude]

@@1manairband theres two reasons for that and it's only half the bikes fault. They are sprung for fairly light riders. If your a heavier fella than you may need to upgrade them, but I'm 155lbs and had no complaints about the forks personally. Just dont expect top spec super sport racing forks or anything because that's not what the bike is about anyways. The other issue is rider error when getting on a naked bike. Many new riders and even somewhat experienced riders coming off sport bikes aren't used to being in the wind. It's important that you grip the bike with your legs, and not hold tightly on the bars. Alot of people grip the bars way too tight trying to "hold on" in the wind. If you hold too tight the bike can't correct itself and the result is instability.

[@1manairband]

@@BmxDieseldude Thanks for the info, I'm around 165lbs and wanted to get back in a bike. I'm used to a naked bike anyway. Long time ago I had experience on a Kawasaki GT 750 at that time I probably weighed about 120lbs LOL. Anyway I think these bikes look awesome and it sound like the MT-07 has the better handling and breaking. I appreciate your input.

[@ReevyTCG]

Gotta love the MT-07 :)

[@Dan84888]

Sure do the sound is amazing with an Akrapovic

[@running4fun74]

How do you think this would compare to my 02 GSX750F Katana?

[@Jay_Michael]

I really like this engine. I have the XSR 700 and it's a great bike. What riding pants are those?

[@jcrosas5751]

Can someone explain to me what the FZ mean in these bikes? Cause i know the MT means “Master Of Torque”

[@chrisdawson8252]

I know yamaha has a bike called the fazer. Maybe it stemmed from that and they shortened it to FZ? Not really sure

[@chago_8836]

Man I’m trying to buy some shirts from your store but Puerto Rico is not on the shipping provinces. 😔

[@danny12threes6]

You gotta ride an mt07 with an exhaust, tune and the r6 throttle tube and maybe some bars. It transforms and it's a little monster for a smaller bike. No exhaust and tune kinda feels weird and the exhaust sounds like a sewing machine.

[@Branman50314]
