My wife and me bought a couple of mt07s in may for our 20th wedding anniversary. We absolutely love em. Ive got the HO and she has the LAMS. You can feel a little bit of difference in power but they both go great. We're heading on a two week adventure from country NSW to Qld and back in October. Cant wait.

[@jasondep]

Happy anniversary! Definitely need to try out the HO myself to see how it compares 😅 Have a great trip and ride safe! 🙌

[@stevetheaxe]

@@jasondep Thank you mate. Yeah as far as road riding goes I can't imagine ever wanting another bike. I had thought of getting a T7 but we got two mtz only a couple of years old for less than one T7. Mine only had 1800kms on it and hers had 4000. Yeah if my wifey wasn't such a champion I maybe would marry my mt07 🤣

I have a ‘20 MT07 with the Akra Ti exhaust, brogue headlight and a few other goodies. Came from over a decade of tracking with super sports and wanted to tone it down a little without fully going on a cruiser. Love my MT. Great video.

Thank you! 🙌 Definitely won't be disappointed by the LAMS MT07 👌 Happy riding! 🙌

[@carlosquintana6930]

I own a 2022, MT07 that I bought brand new the only complaint that I got is the eighth doesn’t matter what kind of muffler you install on this bike is still sound like a four wheeler raptor 700 😮

[@jasondep]

That's fair enough 😅 I personally think there's a lot of muscle and grunt behind it's exhaust note, sounds amazing!👌

[@stevegaines-vq3bd]

i also have a 2022 MT07 & i like the stock pipes....i play music in my helmet as i ride so i want it as quiet as possible......i LOVE my MT07....so much FUN...

Thank you! For POV I'm using a GoPro Hero 5 Black and for the B-roll shots I use a combination of a Pixel 4a 5G and iPhone XR 🙌

[@buckywylde6493]

love the review, i have the 2018 model and completely agree. its a super fun bike, if hypebeast was a bike this would be it, i am curious though what phone attachment do you have? if you can link it. mine got destroyed when i wrecked mine, same as you i laid it down on the left side and me and the bike went rather far on the ground. bikes a champ tho. it was cheaper and quicker recovery than mine.

[@jasondep]

Thank you for the support! And yep this bike is definitely one I'll be keeping around for a long time (now at 70,000+ kilometers 😅), the phone mount I use is from Quadlock www.quadlockcase.com.au/ 😊 Happy and safe riding 🙌

[@buckywylde6493]

@Jason Dep I'll look into it, really clean phone mount for sure. Thanks! Stay safe! And holy shit that mileage ! I don't even have 5k on mine yet

[@joshuawigg2573]

You misspelt XSR900 ('22).

[@jasondep]

What do you mean? 😅

[@Duelweb]

If you replace the stock exhaust on a LAMS bike, is it still legal ?? I am in New Zealand.

[@jasondep]

My understanding is that it's technically "not legal" but the wording on the government website here in QLD Australia is a bit vague/open to interpretation - www.qld.gov.au/transport/licensing/motorcycles/licence-types - but I've never gotten in trouble with the police regarding it 😅 plus I bought the bike with the aftermarket slip on installed on it already from a dealer and had no issues 😊 There is however what's called a "restrictor plate" on this bike that's attached to the throttle cable, which if it's removed and replaced with a "derestricted plate" will then make the bike illegal and not LAMS compliant anymore 😅 not sure if this is the same for all LAMS models tho 😊

[@rexxty605]

Is this a complete stock LAMS version? Beside the exhaust

[@jasondep]

Yup sure is 😊

[@rexxty605]

[@exhibitD79]

*You think this is too much for a first bike, learner with all that tourque?* I am 6 foot 80kg? Only ridden a WR450 a few times around a farm.

[@jasondep]

I can only comment on the LAMS/restricted version, which I think should be fine for a learner who’s ridden a 450cc like the WR450 😊 from personal experience, prior to getting the MT07, I used to ride a 250cc bike, and when I jumped onto the MT07 it felt like night and day in terms of the torque and definitely caught me off guard at first, but I got used to it fairly quickly 😅 Because you’ve ridden something bigger than 250cc you should hopefully get used to the torque fairly quickly, but as always with any new bike always take it easy at first 😊 The LAMS version is decently torquey, so I can only imagine how the HO/non-restricted version feels 😅

[@exhibitD79]

@@jasondep I'm in OZ.. so will be a Lams version. Thanks for the feedback!

[@jasondep]

@@exhibitD79 happy and safe riding out there! And let us know about your experience once you get it 🙌

[@endriolima5685]

How does it compares to the Cb 650r? I'd like to upgrade from a ninja 400, the ergonomics in the ninja were an issue for me (I use it to commute and every 2 weeks a long distance ride). I'm also brazilian, so no test rides for me, sometimes they don't even have the bike in the floor so you could take a look at it. Any help would be appreciated

[@jasondep]

I'm not too sure because I haven't ridden a CBR650R yet but definitely on my list of bikes to check out, I did find a good review that compares the two bikes that hopefully helps you 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZaZYpx7nK5sask - seems overall the CBR650R is a bit more modern and looks a bit nicer compared to the MT07 but it may be a good thing for some people who prefer simplicity (also reliability, MT07 has been incredibly reliable for me) but also the engine in the MT07 is definitely more characterful down low with the torque it produces 😊

[@endriolima5685]

@@jasondep Thanks bro! If you ride the CB and feel like making a video I'll surely watch it!

[@jasondep]

@@endriolima5685 thanks man! Definitely will do a video if I get my hands on one 🙌 Happy riding!

[@HifeMan]

@@endriolima5685 I had an MT07 & MT09 but I love the inline 4 on the CB650R and I think its a way better looking bike. Now as much as I love my MT09 I did trade it in for an Kawasaki W800 which is probably why I love the retro look on the CB650R so much. Also love the XSR line from Yamaha too!

[@Random__Alex]

Hey, the Honda was my driving school bike. I didnt like it. I love the look and the sound but it felt strange to drive. I got the Ninja 400 to start with, its like a bicycle compared to the Honda. Now I drive the Tracer 7. I think ergonomics are almost same as the MT07, and way way relaxed then the Honda!

[@GAZPLE]

what is LAMS ?

[@jasondep]

It stands for Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme 😊 basically there are two types of license classes here in Australia - RE and R. Anyone who holds an RE type of license are only allowed to ride bikes that are deemed as LAMS 😊

[@IN_ZANE_]

Did you replace the LHS engine cover yourself or was it insurance job?

[@jasondep]

Insurance job 😊

[@robertocojones4471]

Is it new rider friendly, or ideally a second or third bike?

[@jasondep]

I would say this LAMS version is relatively new rider friendly (the HO version I imagine would be a bit too much for a new rider), for me it was my second bike because from my personal experience I believe it's always best to start off on a used lower CC bike like a 250cc (like I did) just to get used to riding, and then jump up to something bigger, I'm glad I did that because when I first took this bike for a test ride back in 2018 the torque definitely was something that caught me off guard initially because I was so used to the itty bitty power of my 250cc 😅 but the riding skill I had developed from riding my 250cc bike kept me falling off this bike 😊

[@mbee1337]

8:21 alright, I don't know what bike you are talking about. that's pure fanboy speech - the suspension is so trash on models older than 2018. 2018+2019 got a little better susp. older than that its garbage!!!

[@jasondep]

That's fair enough 😊 for me it's been really good overall, unless it's a really poor condition road with lots of a bumps, and the seat definitely is not comfortable for long rides

[@rabbychan]

Try a Triumph Trident before making that claim.

Definitely on my list of bikes to try out 🙌 I've ridden a Street Triple 660, and the engine and exhaust sound was sweet!👌

[@ruahinesrider]

@@jasondep Street Triple be faster & have more pull from mid to top rpm as Trident has more pull down low & is not as fast but has more comfortable seating position. Also Trident engine is same platform but is different & has 60 more components in engine compared to older Street Twin. They come with a optional Quick shifter which is a must & the one factory options to get.Triples have the tourqe if a twin & power of a 4cylinder & sound awesome.

[@jasondep]

@@ruahinesrider Fair enough 😊 I just remember riding the Street Triple and thinking it was like a scalpel (sharp and precise) and the MT07 was a hammer 😅 Definitely keen to try out the Trident when I get a chance 😄MT07 will always be "old faithful" to me, especially because it's still going without any issue with over 70,000kms on it, even after the crash I had in 2019 😅
