ALLtheNAMES wereTAKEN I live in Portugal, and a new mt 07 was release with a new suspension and the old mt 09 headlight. I am still waiting to give that one a rip
They did give it a face lift with the 2nd gen MT07. It got the 1st gen MT09 headlight but with the DRLs on the sides but I agree they should have updated it with LEDs and look more modern.
The Kawi and Suzuki 650s are lame though. The motors feel so.... yeah. While fz/MT-07 bangs up third gear wheelies at 60 mph as it comes. Not saying they couldn’t do more but really no ones putting any real competition up. At least in that price range and that’s part of the joy. You won’t feel bad doing silly things on it... like making it into an adv bike cuz yeah!
@@Death_Sweet Idk what to do. In my country this is a lot of money, but theres barely any good bike I'd like up in the used market for reasonable price. I have rid an R6 multiple times now, but I am advised to not buy a big bike like that for first, but go with something smaller to learn riding. I checked mt 03 and Kawasaki z400 and now I am here looking at the mt07, so I am back at 600+ bikes, altough less horsepower and naked, Idk, I dont want to buy a smaller bike for a lot of money to just buy a bigger one later and lose half of my money. Motorbikes are not an investment and in my country 3000 eur is a lot.
I got a Yamaha MT-07 2023 like a month ago and I am having a BLAST with it! I LOVE IT! I just can't stop looking at it, riding it and what not! It's a BEAUTIFUL machine!
@@flesz_ the new screen is much better imo, seating position is perfect, I barely put any weight on my wrists. I got me a z900 a month ago and I love it, the mt-07 is was more comfy at the wrist area and the seating position on 07 was perfect for me, just try it out, I personally got used to the power very fast and wanted something even stronger.
1. Swap the regular fork to an upside-down fork. 2. Change the single headlight into a cyber headlight - even the baby MT-125 has one. You're welcome, Yamaha.
@@ifrit35 yup I have been using the best winter weight fork oil I can get my hands on the first was a 15wt second try was 20wt I got 30wt sitting waiting in bel ray I live and ride in California Imperial/Mexico daily the 20wt might be the right viscocity 30wt being too stiff I am 220lbs so not a small rider but fork oils need to be changed every 6,000 miles so bel ray will go in next and see if its too hard or just right learn what viscocity index is before dogging on a bikes suspension put over 10,000 miles on my fz07 and its been smiles the whole time. I ride everything from R1's too Street Glides. 0-60 smokes an r-1 all day and have rode with street glide riders who kept up just fine w/about $10,000 in upgrades. Eventually it will have ohlins until then using what I got.
I had my mt07 for 2 years 6 months until I sold it and got a 2015 R1, I loved that bike every second of owning it, and has a very unique engine character. I could wheelie the fucking shit out of it and it can handle abuse and is very forgiving for a beginner rider. To me the MT07 is a pinnacle in naked motorcycle history and anyone thinking of buying one should rightly do so, you WILL NOT regret it, trust me!
Bought a MT-07 as a nice little upgrade from my honda cmx 300. I wanted something up for my rider triangle. The bike is fun, feels great to ride and I get a lot of compliments from a bunch of people in my town. Makes me feel confident on the road and I know it has the power to pull if I need to get out of a sketchy situation. This is also the first bike I felt like I really understand what the bikes limits are and how far I can take the bike. I'm 21 been riding since I was 18. I have a total of 10,000 miles on both my bikes together. I'm still learning everyday but this bike puts a smile on my face and makes me glad to drive it everyday.
This might come off as being a Stigler but you don't drive a bike, you ride it. Usually I can tell if someone is a Hard-core biker if they ride and thrash a bike around.
@@kignacio I definitely agree, LED is far more efficient for light output and reliability, but I just like the look of the mt-07 better for some unknown reason.
Amen, lowering the triple clamps 3/4 inch down the forks really makes the bike snap even easier into turns, and raising the fork oil level got rid of the spongy feeling that bothered me around curves
I rode a Yamaha MT07 in driving school when I was getting my motorcycle license,it was a pretty nice bike (compared to my 1994 Aprilia Red Rose Classic it's a high tech rocket,though not as comfortable in my opinion).Many driving schools here in Europe bought MT07 to train future bikers,and many people get in as their first bike,or at least first big bike,including two of my friends.
I own a 2018 Mt-07. I plan on hitting 100k miles on it. Currently at 26k. It’s the perfect amount of power for twisties, and loves dank nooners. If you havnt already look up Dave moss. He has a mod that makes the 07s suspension great. My only regret is the fact that the T7 just came out and I feel it would be a waste to have 2 bikes with the same engine, even though it’s one of the best ones.
The fz07 is a tank. I put 33k miles on mine in a little under 2 years. During those 30k miles i only did oil changes every 3k miles and changed chain and tires. Not plugs, filter, nothing. Ran amazing until it was stolen and totalled when i moved. I also went over the handle bars at around 50 and only thing was plastic scratches and passenger pegs needed to be replaced as well as plastic tear near rear seat but i never replaced it. My first bike so i neglected the hell out of it as well as being poor and not wanting to take to dealer for maintenance. Wont make those mistakes again with another bike because now i know how bad it was to neglect my bike but then again she ran as good as day one so i didnt mind. I rode it like i stole it every mile i had it. Riding like a hoonigan by wheelies and going street rossie ( very ameauture) so for anyone looking at the fz07 as a first bike, in my opinion it is the best bike to learn on. Very fun and reliable. Also stock exhuast literally sounds like a sewing machine.
The fz/mt07 is not a beginner bike it has a tone of torque, any noob rides that and cracks the throttle a little is gonna shit their pants, r3/mt03 is a true beginner bike.
@@GhettoBoyCreed guess you got a point there, I forget mine has a lot of work done to it lol anyone that always rides mine is really impressed with the torque and snappy throttle response.
I love my 2019 MT-07. Put a tune from 2WDW, DNA filter and a full yoshimura pipe plus some other bits. It's fun to upgrade and couldn't ask for more for everyday street use. Love it!!
@@Boombowpow Theres an option to get it with 35kW out of the factory. Comes with another electronics control thing (dont know the english name) and smaller air intakes in the cylinders (again i hope u know what i mean).
I'm still riding my 2008 FZ1. I haven't gotten tired of her! Lots of upgrades but nothing too outrageous. I haven't seen anything tempting enough to trade up to.
Ugh... I got my 2018 mt-07 with yoshi sitting in my shed for 2 weeks now. I'm taking MSF course this weekend and will take her our for a ride. Cant wait.
They did give it a face lift with the 2nd gen MT07. It got the 1st gen MT09 headlight but with the DRLs on the sides but I agree they should have updated it with LEDs and make it look more modern.
You are absolutely right. I own an MT-07 for three years now. I rode a Honda 650f for the license and it felt much more refined, but a bit meh. And the MT-07 is still a blast to ride. But now that i have a bit more experience riding you feel the suspension is not on par. And the brakes do not have enough bite. This is why my next bike might be a Triumph Street Triple. Just because everyone says it is so refined. Which is a bummer, because if there was an MT-07 SP with updated suspension, brakes and a quickshifter i would buy an MT-07 again!
Fun factor - that’s why I bought my 2017 FZ-07. Unless you track this bike, most street riding is done at low speeds and low rpm’s. And I get just as many looks and people taking pictures of my FZ-07 as when I rode my Fireblade and R1.
What a trip. I too just hit a deer on my FZ07 doing around 50mph and I have 0 damage on my right side. Left side just bent my shifter broke off my blinker ripped my seat and dented in my left fairing on the gas tank. Other than that it's good to go 👌 started right up. If I didnt break some bones I could have rode it home no problem but I had to take a helicopter ride 🤘
As someone who chose a Yamaha Bolt over the kawasaki vulcan s, it's not nearly that simple. The vulcan s has a super flat torque curve, never makes any real power, and is still faster than a stock bolt. However, the bolt has a torque curve, a place in the power band where you get that lurch in your stomach. Yamaha already has a 60-ish hp/torque cruiser, and doesn't need another one.
I feel like it would be really cool if you did a video on bikes for women/short riders. I'm 5'3 and it was reeeeaaallly difficult finding a bike where my feet touch the ground. I hate cruisers and originally wanted a duel sport or MT but the seat height was way too tall. I ended up with a ninja 400, which I love, but it would be cool to see some bike recommendations or seat lowering techniques for short riders
My mt07 is my first bike Lowsided it twice Messed around with it also removing the throttle bodies to put cheapo chinese filters. (I was really bad at taking care bikes i was 17) i just recently started appreciating the bike and learning how to ride properly and damn its a good bike. Already did some suspension upgrades and its much much much better. Plus it never dies. Battery is still new and its almost 4 yrs old. Love this bike never think id sell it.
@@jepoyonbikes9830 that's incredible. I had a Ducati Monster and I always feared of breaking down, I rode close to home for a reason lol. The MT07 isn't as fast but at least I'd trust it, it's like comparing a slut to wife material I learned my lesson 😇
Royal Enfield is putting smiles on many faces with relatively old tech. Guys are leaving their 850 Adventure in the garage and taking a little 411 thumper into the hills. Analog gauges, no leds, no computers and people are loving them. My dealership can't keep Himalayans or MT07's in stock. I roll a 2017 FZ07 myself and even after 35 years riding, it never fails to make me happy.
I bought one a few months ago that was totaled and fixed by previous owner. It had 1600 miles and hardly any damage left to fix. Paid 3800 for it. Best and cheapest bike I've ever owned
Don't know how popular they are in the US, but I just bought a BMW F800R and I'm absolutely loving it. It's powerful, has a shitton of torque, and has amazing suspensions aswell as a full set of brembo brakes. Since they're replacing them with the latest F900R, you can get decent prices on a F800R with all the options ("packs") such as electronic suspensions, luggages attachements, driving modes, led lights, heating grips etc. For about the price of a CB650R, you get a 90hp, 86 N-m (63 lb-ft) monster. Last but not least, being 1m80 (6ft ) tall, this huge 200kg (440lb) German bastard of a bike feels like the perfect size to me. All the Japanese equivalents (CB650R, SV650, MT-07, mainly) feel like toy bikes next to it.
i own a MT07 2015 blue race abs, i looped it cuz im a kiddo with a powerfull bike and i like to show off, but other then that , i freaking love it , my next bike is for sure a mt09 (newer version) it has the power it needs , its confortable , the only flaw i seem to notice is really the suspension, it is almost perfect for me and i recomend it for all my friends that want to start riding or upgrade. (yes i looped it , i'm fixing her right now ;_; , not giving any excuses it was 100% my fault, i can wheelie but that time it went bad bad) love ur vids :) yall keep safe and twist that throttle
That's awesome! Welcome to the club 👌 is it all stock? If so you HAVE to upgrade exhaust it's amazing ❤ and I would recommend getting a bike side flash tune kit. It's super simple to setup and you can hook up to laptop and customize your bike settings. I LOVE IT
just got my first bike today. was originally looking at a yamaha r7 or a ninja 650. sat on both loved the look of the r7 but didnt like the comfort of it, sat on the ninja 650 and loved the comfort but for some reason didnt feel confident with it, i was almost intimidated by it. for some reason i decided to sit on a yamaha mt 07 and absolutley loved it. i wasnt in love with its looks but as i was driving home with it loaded in the bed of my truck it was growing on me. got it home and took it for a short ride and fell in love immediately it was like a perfect match. enough power to have fun but not too much to get into to much trouble. as a lifetime dirtbike rider though i could also probably go for the mt09`s power, so keep that in mind if youre looking to get into motorcycles. edit: the seat is just a touch hard but not to bad where i think i couldnt ride for an hour or two so i might replace that and exhasut is a little quiet for my taste but other then that, awesome bike.
Yammie! Been hunting for an MT07 for a month or two now, exploring the world of naked sport bikes as an aspiring new rider. I stumbled across a strange inline four 600cc naked called the Benelli TNT 600. From what I can gather they’re not very common but I found a few affordably priced for sale in SoCal. I’d really value your opinion on this bike and how it stacks up in the naked middleweight class. Love the channel. Thanks in advance.
I'm completely content with cheap, barely functional parts from the factory. As long as they make it dependable, attractive and have enough aftermarket support for the bikes, they can keep it the same. I enjoy upgrading and working on my bikes myself. Keep them cheap and let the customers configure them how they want.
I own a 2018 LAMs MT-07 since I live in New Zealand and it is a joy to ride its light, agile and it has torque in general but specifically in the lower gears especially if you live or work in a city
Have it de restricted bro it’s an animal after that !! Sus out.. throttle plate’s basically the throttle body has a diameter of 41mm and the restriction of the plastic it attaches to from the air box is 30mm! Really chokes out the motor And the throttle stopper as well that’s easy to remove ;)
10:57 I hit a deer at 65mph with my Chinese $1250 Supermoto and when I went to pick it up the motor was still running somehow and there wasn't even a scratch on the bike somehow so not much of an achievement from the mt-07
I had a 2015 Mt 07, bought it new kept it for 5 years and put 60k miles on it and it had to change the oil, breaks and tires. No issues what so ever. Really fun to drive, brakes ok in my opinion but front suspension was pretty bad
I have the 'fz8, and it is sick. I went in looking to get either the 07 or the 09, saw the 8 and had to have it. Must not have been a great selling bike because no vlogger mentions it ever, but everyone I know that has ridden one has loved it to death.
"You can only sell the same bike for so long"...tell Suzuki that re their DRZ. And yes, I smashed the pumpkin signals off the new T7 in the first week. You DO need to take one of them for a spin!
Purchased a 2014 MT 07 Lams yesterday. Hopefully pick it up next week. They seem to hold value as they are one of the best lams bikes available over here.
Not being picky but pretty sure 48 triumph speed twin had 360 degree crank, the trident triple was first with its 120 degree offset. Also the first British bike with a one piece forged crank. Apparently it was forged flat, then heated and bent to 120 degrees.
So about a month ago I test rode both a brand-new cb650r and a brand new mt07. Thinking I'll be buying the mt07 early next year at this point and I gotta ask: what is this "Honda build quality" you keep talking about? The cb650r I rode had a very loose throttle and the clutch had no feeling to it at all. overall it left me feeling like the bike was just a pile of really good parts that weren't put together well. That mt07 though, it felt perfect the moment I sat on it. Felt natural to ride and I really couldn't find even the slightest signs of poor build quality. I have to mention the displays on both as well, the CB's was poorly positioned and generally difficult to read, the mt's though was easy to read and understand, and well positioned for the riders line of sight. To me, the mt07 felt like a well built motorcycle, the cb650r didn't.
Well, I also thought 2017 of such a bike, MT-07, SV650, Kawa ... and my winner is Honda NC750S. I, know it has just 55HP, but the suspension is much better then on the MT-07, so it handles better and i can easily keep up on twisty roads, where the fun is ... especially when rinding road legal with a lets say 25% margin ;). Although Yamahas CP2 is creating a big smile, on the NC I can even take a big mommy with me. The MT-07 suspension isn't capable of that! Beside that the quality feel is also better, the fuel consumption is unmatched, and the trunk is big enough for day trips.
10:09 Dude, I was thinking the same thing when I tried the Rebel 500 and the Vulcan. Imagine a lightweight cruiser with a CP2 engine, that thing could be so much fun. Add a nice exhaust and you get the best sounding bike on the market, except for RSV4, sorry, you can't beat that.
GSXS 750 is a great bike, and having ridden that and the mt07, a much better handling bike. Did not find the GSXS lacking in low down grunt, and I was riding a ‘17 SV650 at the time so was used to lazy low down torque
Sure the MT07 is great, but it's got nothing on the Lawnmower 3.0 get your's today for 20% off at mnscpd.com/39m2VLD with the code NOOB20

Strange hearing that hilljack accent whist donning a triumph t-shirt
I had a Lawn Mower. It went in the trash first time I used it because the ceramic blades pulled the hair more efficiently than they cut it...
Just got a brand new 2019 MT-07. My whoolie days are back and I'm looooving it. I feel like a man again.
Such an easy bike to rip WHOOLIES on
How does the new suspension feel like?
I rode the old mt 07 and found it to be soft and sometimes sponge like.
@@andregoncalves9236 Did they ever fix the suspension problems? I saw some tuning recommendations on TH-cam to remove the spacer in the front forks.

André Gonçalves upgrade my suspensions, ohlins on my 2019 mt07, go watch at @mt07py on insta👀
A new LED headlight would have went a long way with the 07 when the 09 got one. Stupid for Yamaha to not give it a quick and easy face lift.
I'm a yamaha fan 1st & f it had that slight upgrade I'd have prob got it over the 790 duke. Love the duke tho 😎
Razor12Ramone I love my 790 as well, but I wish there were as many aftermarket part options as the 07
They did give it a face lift with the 2nd gen MT07. It got the 1st gen MT09 headlight but with the DRLs on the sides but I agree they should have updated it with LEDs and look more modern.
So just fit an LED headlight. There are a few on the market.

MT-07 is a perfect beginner bike! Fun, low-end torque, really light , easy to handle, and a lot of engine break when you roll off the throttle

Thats you riding is all about! Ride the bike you like,
1. Swap the regular fork to an upside-down fork.
2. Change the single headlight into a cyber headlight - even the baby MT-125 has one.
You're welcome, Yamaha.
Swaping the front fork is not necessary, setting up the one they already have for real humans would be a good start.
And a better master cylinder

Speaking to the headlight being outdated... Sadly, the mt-07 has my favorite front end out of all the other mt's
No excuse for Yamaha or Honda to not have full LED on every bike.
@@kignacio I definitely agree, LED is far more efficient for light output and reliability, but I just like the look of the mt-07 better for some unknown reason.
Heating up a length of wire buy shorting out a 12v supply must be the least efficient way of creating light. Very good for heat though
Those huge turn signals saved my R3 from getting scratched all over. They actually act as a slider aswell😅
To all MT07 owners!!
Check Dave Moss' Mt07 suspension solutions! Its a must!
This. Too much misinformation about suspensions on TH-cam. Dave Moss is the only guy worth listening to when it comes to that.
I fixed mine using his advice and it changed the bike without going with cartridges and shock swap.

I’ve got the 2020 mt07 and I am super happy whit it, I recommend it anyways and an easy beginner bike
Dimma its limitable to 35kw, its not that hard/expensive.
@@Boombowpow Theres an option to get it with 35kW out of the factory. Comes with another electronics control thing (dont know the english name) and smaller air intakes in the cylinders (again i hope u know what i mean).
I also got a 2020 MT07 and lovin it!!
Why the 07 and not the 09?
Troy Ander it is like asking someone why they chose the r6 over the r1 some people don’t need a bike that they can’t handle
I'm still riding my 2008 FZ1. I haven't gotten tired of her! Lots of upgrades but nothing too outrageous. I haven't seen anything tempting enough to trade up to.
Ugh... I got my 2018 mt-07 with yoshi sitting in my shed for 2 weeks now. I'm taking MSF course this weekend and will take her our for a ride. Cant wait.
Great choice of music. Thank you.
They did give it a face lift with the 2nd gen MT07. It got the 1st gen MT09 headlight but with the DRLs on the sides but I agree they should have updated it with LEDs and make it look more modern.
I have a 2018 MT-07, best choice I ever made :D
You are absolutely right. I own an MT-07 for three years now. I rode a Honda 650f for the license and it felt much more refined, but a bit meh. And the MT-07 is still a blast to ride. But now that i have a bit more experience riding you feel the suspension is not on par. And the brakes do not have enough bite. This is why my next bike might be a Triumph Street Triple. Just because everyone says it is so refined. Which is a bummer, because if there was an MT-07 SP with updated suspension, brakes and a quickshifter i would buy an MT-07 again!
Just picked up a 2020 MT 07 last month and I love this thing!
ABS? And how much did you get it for? 💲💰 Trying to do my research and get one soon 🙏
Fun factor - that’s why I bought my 2017 FZ-07. Unless you track this bike, most street riding is done at low speeds and low rpm’s. And I get just as many looks and people taking pictures of my FZ-07 as when I rode my Fireblade and R1.
What a trip. I too just hit a deer on my FZ07 doing around 50mph and I have 0 damage on my right side. Left side just bent my shifter broke off my blinker ripped my seat and dented in my left fairing on the gas tank. Other than that it's good to go 👌 started right up. If I didnt break some bones I could have rode it home no problem but I had to take a helicopter ride 🤘
Cool starry
So glad I got a street triple, so much more unique and has all the bells and whistles that I could ever want. Thanks Yammie
Hey mate you still happy with the street triple? I'm tossing between that and a mt07
As someone who chose a Yamaha Bolt over the kawasaki vulcan s, it's not nearly that simple. The vulcan s has a super flat torque curve, never makes any real power, and is still faster than a stock bolt. However, the bolt has a torque curve, a place in the power band where you get that lurch in your stomach.
Yamaha already has a 60-ish hp/torque cruiser, and doesn't need another one.
You forgot to mention the instrument cluster and how it’s too low. Needs to be moved above the handlebars.
I rode a cruiser with the speedometer on the tank. Talk about too low.
This helps so much tyvm
I feel like it would be really cool if you did a video on bikes for women/short riders. I'm 5'3 and it was reeeeaaallly difficult finding a bike where my feet touch the ground. I hate cruisers and originally wanted a duel sport or MT but the seat height was way too tall. I ended up with a ninja 400, which I love, but it would be cool to see some bike recommendations or seat lowering techniques for short riders
Maybe Honda CBR? I know I’m a little late 😅
Bro didn’t even talk about the bike, all he did was talk about other bikes name
i thought about an mt07 but i just went and got the 2020 triumph street triple rs 😎
I live within viewing range of the factory. Might sneak in and draw a penis one of the street triples
Talon Flame I love my speedy also! Makes the mts feel cheap on major suspension difference.
£10k vs £6.5k. Not direct comparisons? Had 3 675r striples previously which were great but my MT07 is more fun for me 👍🏻
Lee Watkeys pay a bit more money to save the company from being sent to india just like royal Enfield
mike hunt maybe but there’s either a hq or factory pretty much in viewing range of my house. Pretty sure it’s a factory
My mt07 is my first bike
Lowsided it twice
Messed around with it also removing the throttle bodies to put cheapo chinese filters. (I was really bad at taking care bikes i was 17) i just recently started appreciating the bike and learning how to ride properly and damn its a good bike.
Already did some suspension upgrades and its much much much better. Plus it never dies. Battery is still new and its almost 4 yrs old.
Love this bike never think id sell it.
I wanna stress the fact that it never dies.
Like never ever left me stranded.
Only problems it gave me are caused by me being a child
@@jepoyonbikes9830 that's incredible. I had a Ducati Monster and I always feared of breaking down, I rode close to home for a reason lol. The MT07 isn't as fast but at least I'd trust it, it's like comparing a slut to wife material
I learned my lesson 😇
Love the office space nod with the turn signals
Royal Enfield is putting smiles on many faces with relatively old tech. Guys are leaving their 850 Adventure in the garage and taking a little 411 thumper into the hills. Analog gauges, no leds, no computers and people are loving them. My dealership can't keep Himalayans or MT07's in stock. I roll a 2017 FZ07 myself and even after 35 years riding, it never fails to make me happy.
I bought one a few months ago that was totaled and fixed by previous owner. It had 1600 miles and hardly any damage left to fix. Paid 3800 for it. Best and cheapest bike I've ever owned
Don't know how popular they are in the US, but I just bought a BMW F800R and I'm absolutely loving it. It's powerful, has a shitton of torque, and has amazing suspensions aswell as a full set of brembo brakes. Since they're replacing them with the latest F900R, you can get decent prices on a F800R with all the options ("packs") such as electronic suspensions, luggages attachements, driving modes, led lights, heating grips etc. For about the price of a CB650R, you get a 90hp, 86 N-m (63 lb-ft) monster.
Last but not least, being 1m80 (6ft ) tall, this huge 200kg (440lb) German bastard of a bike feels like the perfect size to me. All the Japanese equivalents (CB650R, SV650, MT-07, mainly) feel like toy bikes next to it.
If the mt07 had your suggested changes made I'd sell my bike and buy one.
Well I see a 3 year life cycle per model so this is the year Yamaha should bring a new MT-07 to the market.
bought a brand new 2020 and loving it - first motorcycle - totally satisfied
that indicator light smashing sequence was gold
i own a MT07 2015 blue race abs, i looped it cuz im a kiddo with a powerfull bike and i like to show off, but other then that , i freaking love it , my next bike is for sure a mt09 (newer version)
it has the power it needs , its confortable , the only flaw i seem to notice is really the suspension, it is almost perfect for me and i recomend it for all my friends that want to start riding or upgrade.
(yes i looped it , i'm fixing her right now ;_; , not giving any excuses it was 100% my fault, i can wheelie but that time it went bad bad)
love ur vids :)
yall keep safe and twist that throttle
I love the cowboy outro! Pretty funny Pappy.
I just picked up an fz-07 last week as my first bike. I'm officially a baby yam 😄
How do you like it. I have no riding experience but took the msf course years ago
@@cyclonus01 It's great. It feels very controllable.
That's awesome! Welcome to the club 👌 is it all stock? If so you HAVE to upgrade exhaust it's amazing ❤ and I would recommend getting a bike side flash tune kit. It's super simple to setup and you can hook up to laptop and customize your bike settings. I LOVE IT
I want to see papa yams reaction when he sees Rossi riding a turbo busa
Every time I think of what I want my first bike I wanna get, one of his videos comes up...
They sound so good!
Great bike for anyone really. Fun to ride, not too crazy for beginners but still fast enough that you won’t get bored with it
Thanks for mentioning Australia LAMS requirements!
This is a really good video yammie. Good job:)
I got myself a kawa Er6-n as a first bike, im sooo happy with it :D
just got my first bike today. was originally looking at a yamaha r7 or a ninja 650. sat on both loved the look of the r7 but didnt like the comfort of it, sat on the ninja 650 and loved the comfort but for some reason didnt feel confident with it, i was almost intimidated by it. for some reason i decided to sit on a yamaha mt 07 and absolutley loved it. i wasnt in love with its looks but as i was driving home with it loaded in the bed of my truck it was growing on me. got it home and took it for a short ride and fell in love immediately it was like a perfect match. enough power to have fun but not too much to get into to much trouble. as a lifetime dirtbike rider though i could also probably go for the mt09`s power, so keep that in mind if youre looking to get into motorcycles. edit: the seat is just a touch hard but not to bad where i think i couldnt ride for an hour or two so i might replace that and exhasut is a little quiet for my taste but other then that, awesome bike.
I've been saving for this exact bike. Good luck to all!! Much love, great content!
Did ya git it ?
@leeinwis Nope... dreamers are better off dreaming, I guess
Yammie! Been hunting for an MT07 for a month or two now, exploring the world of naked sport bikes as an aspiring new rider. I stumbled across a strange inline four 600cc naked called the Benelli TNT 600. From what I can gather they’re not very common but I found a few affordably priced for sale in SoCal. I’d really value your opinion on this bike and how it stacks up in the naked middleweight class. Love the channel. Thanks in advance.
Recently bought a 2017 MT-07 Tracer and I love it
I'm completely content with cheap, barely functional parts from the factory. As long as they make it dependable, attractive and have enough aftermarket support for the bikes, they can keep it the same. I enjoy upgrading and working on my bikes myself. Keep them cheap and let the customers configure them how they want.
It looks like you're riding through Mexico in some of these inner city vlog shots
I love those blinker!!
3:08 that lil Husky...such an awesome bike 🤤
I own a 2018 LAMs MT-07 since I live in New Zealand and it is a joy to ride its light, agile and it has torque in general but specifically in the lower gears especially if you live or work in a city
Have it de restricted bro it’s an animal after that !!
Sus out.. throttle plate’s basically the throttle body has a diameter of 41mm and the restriction of the plastic it attaches to from the air box is 30mm! Really chokes out the motor
And the throttle stopper as well that’s easy to remove ;)
10:57 I hit a deer at 65mph with my Chinese $1250 Supermoto and when I went to pick it up the motor was still running somehow and there wasn't even a scratch on the bike somehow so not much of an achievement from the mt-07
Cool starry
Literally been waitinf for this
I had a 2015 Mt 07, bought it new kept it for 5 years and put 60k miles on it and it had to change the oil, breaks and tires. No issues what so ever. Really fun to drive, brakes ok in my opinion but front suspension was pretty bad
This is my first bike and my only bike. M4 exhaust and I love it
The depression bgm seriously adds the depth of this whole video 😁
I have the 'fz8, and it is sick. I went in looking to get either the 07 or the 09, saw the 8 and had to have it. Must not have been a great selling bike because no vlogger mentions it ever, but everyone I know that has ridden one has loved it to death.
Appreciate the Aussie shout out 😅😅🤫🤯🤤
Loved my TRX850, and love my XSR700 - 270, oh yes baby!
Love that office space scene with the turn signals 🤣🤣
If 7:54 is how you usually reach for a front break you need to adjust it for ergonomics to avoid accelerating into a breaking situation.
9:59 Yammie predicts the R7
"You can only sell the same bike for so long"...tell Suzuki that re their DRZ.
And yes, I smashed the pumpkin signals off the new T7 in the first week. You DO need to take one of them for a spin!
My dad just Got the tenere the thing is awesome!
BrUH Your website is broke. Says IP not found when trying to connect.
Purchased a 2014 MT 07 Lams yesterday. Hopefully pick it up next week. They seem to hold value as they are one of the best lams bikes available over here.
that b-roll of y'all smashing the floppy turn signals was awesome. lmao
Not being picky but pretty sure 48 triumph speed twin had 360 degree crank, the trident triple was first with its 120 degree offset. Also the first British bike with a one piece forged crank. Apparently it was forged flat, then heated and bent to 120 degrees.
You didn’t talk about the beautiful music that the mt07 produces what gives
You’re freaking me out man. Literally been talking about the bikes I’ve been looking to buy next
So about a month ago I test rode both a brand-new cb650r and a brand new mt07. Thinking I'll be buying the mt07 early next year at this point and I gotta ask: what is this "Honda build quality" you keep talking about? The cb650r I rode had a very loose throttle and the clutch had no feeling to it at all. overall it left me feeling like the bike was just a pile of really good parts that weren't put together well. That mt07 though, it felt perfect the moment I sat on it. Felt natural to ride and I really couldn't find even the slightest signs of poor build quality. I have to mention the displays on both as well, the CB's was poorly positioned and generally difficult to read, the mt's though was easy to read and understand, and well positioned for the riders line of sight. To me, the mt07 felt like a well built motorcycle, the cb650r didn't.
Well, I also thought 2017 of such a bike, MT-07, SV650, Kawa ... and my winner is Honda NC750S.
I, know it has just 55HP, but the suspension is much better then on the MT-07, so it handles better and i can easily keep up on twisty roads, where the fun is ... especially when rinding road legal with a lets say 25% margin ;).
Although Yamahas CP2 is creating a big smile, on the NC I can even take a big mommy with me. The MT-07 suspension isn't capable of that!
Beside that the quality feel is also better, the fuel consumption is unmatched, and the trunk is big enough for day trips.
10:09 Dude, I was thinking the same thing when I tried the Rebel 500 and the Vulcan. Imagine a lightweight cruiser with a CP2 engine, that thing could be so much fun. Add a nice exhaust and you get the best sounding bike on the market, except for RSV4, sorry, you can't beat that.
Yammers, why don’t you mention the GSX S750 when you bring up nakeds. I love mine and she looks soooo good.
How is it? I was thinking of a slightly beefier naked over a 650/700 but not as big as a 900 or liter bike
Its nice but it an 4 cyl. You will get power higher up in the RPMs. Not really a tune for a Naked IMO
Or KTM 790 duke.. I've never had so much fun!
GSXS 750 is a great bike, and having ridden that and the mt07, a much better handling bike. Did not find the GSXS lacking in low down grunt, and I was riding a ‘17 SV650 at the time so was used to lazy low down torque
Definitely the best looking
