[@ShiteLines]

Test rode the XSR then MT07 back to back 2023 model and the XSR won hands down in the comfort, position, looks and premium. People forget that with the XSR you get the little accents, the more premium build quality with little things added here or there, example is led indicators, better solider mirrors, that front mudguard, the rear scramblerry look mid guard, the tail light, the LED headlight. There are other things im missing but I came off the MT07 saying to myself, I’ll take the XSR all day! The MT07 felt plasticy, everything about it was plastic, the new dash is massive for what it needs, can’t understand why they didn’t just use the XSR900s dash. The phone connectivity option is available on the MT07 but it doesn’t even display Google maps or anything like that, it’s purely for calls and is basic and let’s face it, you want away from your phone when you’re out on your bike.

[@ShiteLines]

In an unusual turn of events. I got the MT09 SP 2023 instead

[@Joke89ful]

I am buying one of these next month , I think will be getting XSR we'll see , love the comment I wish more people left comm like this.

[@slightly5634]

I picked up a 22 xsr700. I love the bike. I picked it over the mt07 because of the looks obviously. I plan on doing a scrambler build with it. The cp2 engine is so much fun! More power than it gets credit for I think.

[@CycleCruza]

You can't go wrong with either bike, both are perfect for the city streets. have fun and stay safe!

[@MJFUYT]

Doing the scrambler thing to the XSR 700 is sick AF 💪🔥

[@slightly5634]

@@GreyZonex I’m pretty sure the xsr has a slightly taller seat height and taller handlebars but other than that they are pretty much the same.

[@markthrasher9969]

Before I bought my 18' XSR700 I had the chance to ride both bikes on one of the demo days Yamaha used to put on. The XSR just suited me better.

Still lovin all this MT-07 content. Think either would be dope and I think you worded it perfectly when you said "Flavor".

[@mrhands2757]

Totally agree, just what you like, both look cool to me, your mt07 sounds awesome CycleCruza!!

[@sportstermissions]

LOL @ under bridge action! Cyclecruza, don't ever change!

[@robbiedunnett4911]

Have the 2021 xsr. Why you ask. Love the Retro. At 58 years young it's what I grew up with. Understand your point. If I was 28 would probably go with Mt -07. Either way they one hell of a bike!!!

[@GunpowderNitro]

Nice bro glad your enjoying the mt I picked up a set of alpinestars supertech r boots today ride safe man 💯😈🤘

[@p9raceway759]

XSR looks better. I enjoy seating position & bar setup. 2023 with 600 miles on it. Until someone buys me a bike I’ll keep with my opinion. This is my 4th motorcycle at 49 years young and I’m trying to slow down and be less aggressive.

[@Smokeyed4219]

I love the mt07 but I love everything about the xsr700 from the retro modern looks to the endless mods you can do yes I know there’s a lot of mods for the mt07 but I’m my opinion the mt07 lacks in looks compared to a xsr

[@powamoto]

Happy Holidays ya'all CycleCruza you got the cooler model not so retro 😉

[@CycleCruza]

Happy Holidays! I hope you and your family have a good one.

[@Hoosier_Daddy920]

I looked at both I like that they have different styles but I'm definitely glad I went with the 2022 MT-07

[@brianrahuba6919]

Ain't the swing arm a tad longer on the xsr 7 . Which would make it more stable on and highway speeds ?

[@arnaldofettuccine5227]

Under the bridge action 👍👍🤣🤣 I like the retro cuz I'm old - but would really love that YZF-R7 - I need a lean forward rider style due to a T-6 compression fracture from 1981. It's all good if your having fun.

[@lord1999ful]

I have a 2016 z1000 and thinking going down to a xsr 700 just wondering if i will loose too much power! But i really never used the power anyway! What mileage per gallon are you getting? Thanks

CycleCruza! Still love my 2016 FZ 07! I'm looking forward to the middle weight Adventure bikes from Honda and Suzuki to come 🇺🇲

[@CycleCruza]

Nice! I'm not getting rid of mine as long as I'm riding the YZ450FX Supermoto and MT-07 are staying.

[@robertfekete4827]

You right, but image and design is more important for some guys than performance. Some people like custom original bike, somebody is ok with stock bike. I prefer mt07, but I saw a cool custom xsr as well. I think it looks cool, and I personally would prefer the xsr more than a Harley. This is personal reference.

[@technoking8386]

Your videos rock!

[@ronbailey8370]

A friend of mine, just got an XR900 gloss black, looks sick. I have yet to see it in person, but it's a beautiful bike. He waited a year for it. He thinks it's faster than my 1999 ZX9R. We are going to race this summer. I told him, he has a 2022 XR900, but my carburator 1999 super sport is faster. We'll see this summer. He's rode my bike before stock. It's totally modded out now. And has a quick shifter. I'm curious myself how I'll do against it. Peace Cruza.

[@l-mac5105]

I’ve been looking at a 2022 MT07 for my next bike, but I’ve been reading a lot of MT07 owner complaints about the MT07 being plagued with rust issues on the swing arm and other parts. Apparently, this has been an issue with the MT07 since it’s been in production. That may be a dealbreaker for me.

[@CycleCruza]

I just did a video on that today, check it out: BAD Things About the Yamaha MT-07: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5W1YnqNbMpqbrc

[@organichotdog3807]

The MT-07 got a shock with rebound in 2018. How hard was it for Yamaha to put that same shock in the XSR? Doesn't make sense. I would still get the XSR over the MT07 either way because I prefer the retro look.

[@ddbuster]

Which is better for two-up riding?

[@johnjay6370]

I just upgraded from a MT-03 to a royal Enfield int650 and the upgrade was huge!!! I know you are getting another bike, I am just recommend giving a Royal Enfield a test drive. The bike was also only 5999 and very affordable. They also have a big bore kits upgrades that are encouraged by royal Enfield and your warranty will cover that upgrade if something breaks. I know what you mean about HP because the royal Enfield 650 only has 47 hp, but honestly that is plenty on the highway, it Easley cruises at 80mpg all day long.. I do not care about going 150mph and never will on a bike..

[@MotoRiff77]

Nobody knows how crazy loud that exhaust is until they're standing next to it

[@WrathfulRebike]

Love my MT-07! I may jump up to The Duke in a couple years. For now though, the MT-07 just feels like the perfect bike to transition from dirt riding to the streets. Love the vids Cycle Cruza

[@CycleCruza]

If you haven't had a lot of different bikes yet you will definitely want to try faster bikes but eventually, like me, you'll realize this mt-07 is the perfect urban city hooligan bike. Thanks for being a viewer! Stay safe!

[@lordlucan13]

was sitting on both mt and xsr at Motorcycle Live show in Birmingham UK, I'm 5.7 tall and mt suits me better, I like more the retro look on xsr but my butt found the seat on xsr very hard and I had a feeling that because of "long tank" my arms are more stretch to handlebars. On mt when I sit on it seat was more comfy and narrow between legs and I feel connection with the bike straight away :) hehehe btw. was sitting on new honda hornet and seating position on honda is even better for me then mt....so far my winner is hornet in regards of comfor (even better then new suzuki gsx-8s) ;) cheers from Ireland

[@CycleCruza]

Thanks for viewing! They say the Hornet is another boring Honda tho....check out the new reviews.

[@shakirjohnson9616]

Not gonna lie, the XSR is my dream bike, mainly because it's an MT07 with a better seating position for very tall beginner riders... Can't wait to get one lol

[@CycleCruza]

Really, you can't go wrong with either bike, it just comes down to preference but there is no reason for Yamaha to charge an extra $900 for the XSR700, really it should be cheaper than the MT-07 with its shock that has no rebound adjustability like the MT-07 has.

[@marce18123]

Idk how tall you are, but my MT07 is plenty comfortable for me at 6'3". The XSR would be better if it was the same price as the MT07. I really do like the look of the new XSR900

[@Tyrekickingwetdreamer]

What's a chairsy? Is it anything like a chassis?

[@tjey379]

I just like both of them. Low technology and great performance they are both great bikes and so Cruza, who said that you can't have both of them? I think you ought to test ride the XR as well as the Honda cb is it 650? I finally got another bike after the theft of my last bike and it's kind of like the XR ( Chinese version and 300cC ) and I must say I am kind of shocked and delighted. Ah, sometimes life is fair, ... Okay a few times life gives you a short break from hell, I think I am in love all over again.

CC, you've mentioned a couple of times about rear shock difference. Did you change settings on your mt07 front/back suspension or you ride stock?

Actually, I did not change the stock settings, is fine for me but I'm only a 170 lbs without gear.

[@mikemiller774]

@@CycleCruza Then, technically this lack of setting would not matter for you. However, what i know about that round head light from other videos - it's quite weak in dark conditions, that's why there are plenty of aftermarket better ones.

Cycle how hard is it to tune

[@Mr450pro]

I like both, and to me it comes down to comfort. I have had surgery in my lower back, so comfort is everything to me. With that said, the xsr 700 cost 1800$ more than the mt07 in my country,so it has to ride really really good before I pay that kind of cash for it. Plus the xsr has gold wheels, I absolutely hate gold🤮 Btw how tall are you? You look huge on the mt07

[@Joke89ful]

he said in one video that he is 6 feet tall if I remember correctly

[@jasonjambard6913]

Just got the 24 xsr 700 and for me there were a couple things that played Into it. I have a husky401 so that's my little canyon carver I needed something that my fiance could ride with me and still have adequate power. I realize the xsr probably wasn't the best choice for passenger riding but my girl actually seen this bike before i did and wanted to try it. I realized quickly it was the mt07 so I wasn't gonna stop her lol love the retro looks But I also want a bike I can pop up have fun on. So with the added power better back seat than my vit and the fact it is the same motor as the 07 I was all in. Now, after 400 miles and a few small mods I love the bike. The suspension is meh. Not great not too bad. No quick shifter wasn't an issue since I never used it on my husky. What I wish I would've known, tho. Is that the new xsr 900s are completely different bike then the old xsr 900s. They fixed everything. Better breaks fully adjustable suspension. Ride by wire cruise control. Twitchy throttle is gone. Plus a quick shifter and riding modes. Plus a new motor and frame that has like 20 more cc's. The old 9s had some of that but the riding experience from what I've read is alot better. But the seat was difficult for a passenger so I doubt my girl would of went for it. Regardless it makes sense cause the first mod on my xsr 700 I have to do is fix the suspension. From what I've read the new xsr900 is a totally different bike when cornering. A common review on the xsr is that it feels wonky weird to some ppl when cornering. And to me i noticed it right away.but chalked it up to how much bigger the tire was compared to my husky. So I'll probably keep my 700 for fun and get the 900 later on. I do love that the 700 is simple electronically. Only thing you get is abs. After a new rear shock and front fork upgrade kit im hoping It will be alot better down these tn mountain roads.

[@malikabdul-aziz522]

The MT is fine. I preferthw xsr for the style. I like that retro metropolitan cruz in the city look. For the record whoever suggested Cyclecruza to get an XSR don't know him.

[@knifetoucher]

I feel like if you gonna get a XSR700 you should just throw in an extra $1200 and get the XSR900 with the CP3 engine. If you using the CP2 engine, can't beat either MT07 or the Tenere700 if you cruising.

[@psyfertech]

mt10 is the way to go, the sound of that crossplane turns heads all the damn time its kind of crazy sounds so exotic, definitely my favorite bike out of all the bikes ive owned, tons of power/torque, sounds incredible, comfy for long rides, very maneuverable what else do you want. Doesnt have the best looks the new gen but there are several things you can do to make it look pretty damn cool

[@treedogg]

I think the mt10 is absolutley sick. I got the last of the old gen thankfully and with the right mods and a nice exhaust it looks absolutely sick. brutal looking bike with brutal performance. Its like a demon on the street

[@CycleCruza]

I will say that MT-10 inline 4 crossplane engine is nice, sounds like a V8 engine. I just wish Yamaha would redesign that bike properly. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Truth is, you can't go wrong with any of the MT series bikes, they are all fun hooligan street bikes.

[@treedogg]

@@CycleCruza Exactly! Since I enjoy the looks of the old generation 10 and not the new one, im hoping I'll like the 3rd gen and can upgrade to that whenever they make it

[@veljkovic92]

Mt10 is the best, if money for gas and/or maintenance isn't an issue. For me it was. That's why I fell in love with 07, which does a lot of things 10 does but costs less to ride and has less mid-top end power... They both give an amazing ride feel.

[@psyfertech]

@@CycleCruza yea i tell ya man like you always say the japanese just dont know how to make a good looking bike with a few exceptions, they are powerful reliable machines but they need to bring in some italians to handle the designs haha.

I have the xsr700, love it. But like new MT too, seriously considering that, not that I'm selling XSR I mean both, even tho new hornet is better on paper, I just like the MT/XSR- Perfect bike. Get your vibes for it.

[@moier3345]

I bought the XSR700 in 2018. And that year, at least in France, they had made the XSR's suspension stiffer compared to the same year's MT07. I tested both bikes and the suspension made the difference to me then and there. The next year's MT07 also got that little suspension upgrade and maybe in 2019 I would have decided differently. But at that moment in time the XSR had the better suspension. Also, I have always loved its looks from the first time I saw it online. It's not a "pretty" bike. Other retros like the Ducati Scrambler actually look a lot better. But I've always liked that "steam punk look" with cables going around and parts of the "inner workings" exposed. Not pretty but it's got something raw and industrial to it that really works for me. And I love the fact that I ride around and other riders go like "oh cute, look at that stupid fucker on his slow retro bike" and after five corners they're like "WTF, that thing actually goes!" 😂 And just for the record, I meet a lot of guys in the Pyrenees that are a lot faster than me, so it's just nice to be underestimated at first and not get challenged to stupid speeds by these guys. If you roll up on a 1000ccm superbike, people expect you to ride that thing properly. On the XSR700 even I manage to surprise people sometimes. So, yeah, XSR700 all the way for me. The one thing I don't like about the CP2 engine itself is that I think it's got a bit of a snatchy throttle in all models and a lot of engine break at the same time. And at least my model doesn't have the slipper clutch. When you shift down fast at high revs the rear wheel gets out of shape. So, you have to give it a little gas whilst shifting to avoid that. Sometimes you give it that little bit of throttle and it just does nothing. Like, the quick motion of your hand rolling does not always mean a quick rise in revs as you expect. When that happens you are a bit compromised when you enter a corner. Maybe it's my lack in skill, maybe it's my bike in particular. But I heard that the newest models come with a slipper clutch and I recommend you get one of them.

Like I said before.. healtech make a quick shifter for the cp2 engine..it works on the mt07 and the tenere 700..

Kinda crazy they deleted the rear shock damping adjustment on the XSR700. If anything it should have more adjustments and better equipment for the extra money. But like the XSR900/ MT09, the rider triangle is probably the biggest difference between the XSR700/MT07 line when riding the bike.

[@CycleCruza]

I don't know why Yamaha didn't just put the same sock on the XSR700. Makes no sense.

Yeah it sounds so good, one of the reasons I bought this bike.

I like the previous green XSR700 much more but not the new one. Yea they’re literally the same bike same chassis just different appearance package and different bars

[@CycleCruza]

Somebody else said the same thing.

[@Fee.1]

@@CycleCruza understandable, the previous Gen was like the best of modern and old, it looked like a cafe racer kinda, the headlight brackets looked sweet etc. the new one looks like a plain old UJM bike with that Bannana seat etc. not at all sweet.

[@hasheeshiann]

just want the xsr headlight on the mt and it would be perfect

[@dedosauro]

MMMM today i was in a Yamaha dealer looking for an mt 07 and there was a xsr 700 ,i was never interested in it but after seeing it in person is completely different, the mt is completely full of plastic that feels cheap and not really nice to see, the xsr seat felt much better , now i don't really know what to do because it looks like they put much more love into the xsr

[@shitheads.6745]

My dad is looking for a bike that he can go from Belgium to turkey (400km) with ease and for 2 ppl but not as heavy looking as a bmws, he’s also a sucker for yamaha so I’ve made a PowerPoint with the best looking motors and their price range. We first wanted to buy a xsr 900 but it wasn’t sold in our region (it had to be specially made) so now I’m looking for this bike which is way cheaper than xsr and I’m not much of a fan of its looks ( I prefer old school sexy look) but now that I’ve seen them next to each other. They don’t really have much of a difference (just the head is weird) but yeah, hopefully this one will be the one

[@SirLoinofBeef235]

Another review states that the xsr has updated fork springs and shock

[@alphacapo]

Looks better. Imo. I coulda swore the xsr had some premium options. Maybe that's the 900 tho idk. Maybe I dreamt it or it was a dealer option type thing. The xsr both 7 and 9 look more premium. The only thing I don't like is the headlight mounts. And it should have dual clocks.

[@Ianthe1]

Those are like opinions man- the Dude

[@CycleCruza]

Eh to each his/her own! However, the XSR700 has less adjustability for the shock and yet costs $900 more! For what? lol

[@darrenpittman2576]

Xsr all the way. Imo. I pull up and people start asking questions. Outside of that it fits me perfectly at 6 foot and it seems like the quality is there not too take away from the this that and the ugly lol it’s awesome

[@jasonbarton7189]

I like the XSR over the MT strictly because I’m in my 40s and it suits my age better.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

XSR is playing in the "neo retro" sort of market. That's fine. It's competition for the very good looking Z650RS, but Yamaha has a much better engine. Suzuki also did a little retro-izing of their SV with the SV650X. It's a throwback to classic styling cues. If you're middle-aged, you'll like the enduring classical styling cues. If you're younger, you won't have grown to appreciate that....... YET. Give it time, you'll see things you never saw before. Personally, I'd rather XSR both the 700 and 900. They look overall more purposeful, not robot insect blade edge cyclops nonsense. When Suzuki gets their new 776cc 270° parallel into market, I'd be taking a hard look at it. I'm hoping it's got the similar nature to the engine as Yamaha has, just turned up to 11 or 12. I think ripping a good sounding, good feeling, torquey twin in a great chassis is a lot of fun, especially if it fits larger 6-foot+ guys better, like myself. Even if it's not as fast as the MT-09 or Z900 or 890 Duke R, who cares. But, I do think a good 10 horsepower more than the MT-07 would help me stay put much longer.

[@chrisochsenbein4623]

When will you get something new? I’ve been listening to you praise the MT07 for what feels like years. Still it’s a bike I’d never consider it’s just too ugly for my tastes. I’d love to see a Sport bike like the ZX10R or CBR1000R or even one of the 600’s I love the way those engines scream ❤

[@scottfree641]

CC thinks like me. I couldn't justify spending 9 plus grand for a Harley Iron sportster which makes 50 hp over a Honda rebel 500 that makes 45 HP and will start every time. I just couldn't do it. But yeah if they have the same engine and performance they'd better throw in cruise control or something for the 900 hundred dollars. For sure.

[@fredmaldonado9204]

You have the better one of the two

[@Frank_Torre]

Everybody saying get this certain bike over the MT07. Yet the MT07 is STILL King of the Hill for middleweight bikes. You just can't beat it, but it's funny other manufacturers keep trying to beat the MT07. They all want their bikes to sell like the MT07.

Xsr looks more elegant and generally a better looking bike, People would stop and look at the Xsr 700 but they would walk past the Mt 07 (Just saying😊) Mt 07 looks like a hooligans bike as if you are about to cause a riot or rob a bank 😃 I would take either as a second bike as you say you can’t go wrong

[@adams2013]

Those bikes need a suspension upgrade!!!!

[@2seater_mx5]

they offer me them for the same price 6700€, the mt07 is a '22 with 8000km and the xsr700 a '20 with 3000km And i dont know which one to pickkkkk

They really should be the same price or even cheaper for the XSR700, it has less adjustability for the shock. It makes no sense why they charge so much more money for the XSR700.

[@ccdeweese]

What is your number 3 motorcycle?

[@CycleCruza]

That is a tough question, on one hand I'd say the WR250R because I loved being able to go off-road anytime and on the other hand I'd say the CBR1000rr because that was a great superbike for the street and fun to rip the throttle. I know it sounds crazy to put the MT-07 before the faster bikes but it is just something that is so special about this MT-07, the sound, the feel, low end grunt and comfort.

[@ccdeweese]

@@CycleCruza These are the 2 bikes I thought you would say!

Don't think it looks old, because no old bike has that sort of frame. It's Neo-Retro. Don't you like a 1980s Porsche 911 still?

The only 'neo retro' I like the looks of is the cb1000r black edition, that is a good looking bike. I'm not into cars but the porsche I think looks the coolest is the old classic 356 Speedster.

@@CycleCruza Yeah, that's a nice bike indeed. I prefer it in that burgundy metallic paint though. I like a bit of bling. Btw, look up Lancia evo37 Kimero, a new car. 1980s was and is still the future. Magnum PI would even drive it 👍💪

Yamaha is sleeping man the Duke 390 and z400 both have slipper clutches and tech and slipper clutch

Yeah Yamaha should have added that and a quickshifter but that is why it is so cheap to buy. For 2023, they did pre-wire the MT-07 to easily add an oem Yamaha quickshifter.

[@Fee.1]

@@CycleCruza I mean I hear you but at the same time some of the features on my z400 is better made and designed than my r3 & last Gen xsr 700. Just small details but still. That said I agree you can’t beat the motor. Except maybe a KTM 890 or aprillia 660 trophy or whatever the new special edition is with even more power. Very tempted by that

[@stevenelliott5403]

I guess they thought they didn't need to as the MT07 sells in huge numbers

[@Fee.1]

@@stevenelliott5403 so did the r6, the CBR600, & the GSXR 600…until suddenly the entire 600 class was shunned by consumers

[@Fee.1]

@@stevenelliott5403 having said that…they’re not as lazy as Suzuki with most of their bikes or kawasaki to a lesser degree with some of theirs…so I assume they will hopefully revise the MT07 from the ground up finally now that there is a Honda on the scene with the same motor but more of everything…the same bike basically but more of everything, a tech package that…exists, which beats Yamaha just for existing…along with everything else & Honda advantages like a massive dealership footprint that makes Yamaha and basically every other manufacturer seem like a joke…even if they’re cheating by utilizing their status as a top car manufacturer…and financing that doesn’t act like it’s run by the Mafia. I still can’t believe Yamaha Financing (a whole separate company) is as predatory as they are. It’s payday lender level shit…which is part of why they sell so many. And the new GSX 8s as well, I think most people will be happy if Yamaha updates everything but the motor. Personally though…I am holding out a spec of hope that Yamaha levels up the motor as well and takes it to Aprillia RS/Tuono 660 levels. That is the spiciest 600-700cc twin that is currently manufactured…(possibky in history, as far as I can find at least. It’s got all the torque of the CP2 down low but also has all the HP of the Honda inline 4 650…a 660cc 270 degree twin that makes over 100Hp & revs like a triple??? YES. PLEASE. I’d gladly pay more for that too. I wish Yamaha would start making the SP models have slightly up-tuned motors as well
