Yamaha MT07. Motorway Torture. Part Deux. ‘The Return!’

Hey Folks!
This is the return journey from Cheshire (South Manchester) to East Sussex.
This was a more typical journey than Part 1 and the 250 miles was completed in 5 hours with a 2 minute stop half way.
Join me as I battle traffic, winds & rain. Endure aching knees, an aching back and shoulders all whilst tiptoeing past Police Traffic cars while filtering on the M25 (no loud exhaust here Officer, honest! 😂😂)
Lessons learned:
- Long journeys with a back pack are ill advised.
- MT-07 gets unstable if it’s windy at around the 70mph mark.
- Despite my love of the Yamaha MT07, it is no tourer.
- you need cat like reflexes when filtering and slow and steady with good safety margins is the way to go.
Once again, I appreciate you watching and as always it’s great to have you along for the ride.
Marcus :)
NB: Reference to ‘Wade’ app at about the 26 minute point of the video is a typo and obviously should say; “Waze.” (iOS spellchecker! 😡😂😂)

@@pugsleywilson Thanks 🤩, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the CBT. I’m sure you’ll love the MT07, it’s a great little bike. It makes an awesome sound, isn’t too heavy, has a perfect amount of power for road use and can be quite playful too. Thanks again, I appreciate the positive interaction 👌😃
