Remember I've got TWO MT07s that I'm giving away to TWO lucky winners! Go to yammienoob.co and get your entries locked and loaded! Every $1 = 10X entries to win for a short period of time!
I have an 22' MT-07. I have been traveling the western US riding all over. I've put 18k miles on the bike in less than 1.5 years. This bike is bullet proof. I've road dirt, sand, mud and street. I'm just about to get my 3rd set of tires. Nothing but regular maintenance. So much fun and sounds amazing with an aftermarket pipe.
I love how two complete opposites, as these two bikes are, can transmit you the same: a fun bike side to side for your weekend rides on some twisty road
I just traded in my 2021 MT07 for a ZX4RR. Oh what a difference. I rode it on the same country twisty's that I rode my 2021 MT07 on and what a surprise. I have 2 cruisers, one being a 2022 Heritage and the other a 2018 1200 Iron Sportster. I wanted something for a little more excitement so I bought an MT07. It was a fine bike but I just didn't think the parallel twins were all that sporty. They didn't sound like a bike that I liked. The torque comes on like a hammer and I'm not into wheelies. I like carving in the country and I have several roads around me, close that I carve. The ZX4RR is perfect for that. The difference between the 2 was amazing. I'm a very young 69 year old with over 50 years of riding experience. I owned a Ninja 600 E in my 40's and 50's. Beautiful bike and I loved it. But then I got a touring bike for me and the wife so I had to sell it. I've also owned an 09 Triumph Street Triple. I still have a big picture of it on the wall in my garage. I loved it but it was starting to leak oil so I traded it in on an M8 Street Glide. I digress. I wasn't getting the excitement out of the MT07 that I wanted but this ZX4RR seems to have been made just for me. I've only had one good day of riding besides riding it back 40 miles from the dealer. So this is the next morning and I couldn't sleep very well last night thinking about which road I was going to ride on the following day. I'm still excited to play with my new toy. I'm learning more and more about the KQS and riding mods. The Sport is really good but the Road mod seems better suited for around town for stop and go traffic. It seems the influencers are working with the motorcycle industries to promote parallel twins so they can save some production costs and make more money. I enjoy bikes that stirs the soul like the sound of a Harley and 4 and 3 cylinders. I also owned 2012 Bonnie. I still think the 360 degree sounds better then the 270 cranks. Especially with Predator exhaust British Custom. Maybe I should write a book. I'm just a rambling old man with lots of experience. My videos shows what a very young man I really am. Follow me on TH-cam. Yammy if you are ever in Kentucky let me know an we can do some riding together.
HOLY CRAP! I just commented this question on yesterday's video that I was torn between the 4R and the 07, and today Yammie drops a whole video as the answer. Thanks Papa Yam!
@@prometheus9038 nice seeing you here again man! Thankyou for your suggestions on that video too. After watching this, I think I'll still go with the ZX4, as he mentioned at the end, it's the perfect bike for someone who wants the supersport style and sound but doesn't want the drawbacks like the ergonomics and the way too fast engines for the street, and I am a Kawasaki fan since childhood, my first love was a Ninja when I saw one when I was around 10 or 11, now that I'm turning 18 next year, I think this is the perfect choice for me.
@@saigaikwad415 I personally also think that yammie completely misses the mark in this vid regarding the zx4. Its certainly not a beginner bike, at least not any less than most 600s from the 90s are. Its a full fletched supersport with less power so you can use more of the bike on the street
I’d like to leave a big shout out to y’all in this channel, Ty’s for being around spreading so much information. I finally took courage to get me a wonderful 22/23 mt-07. And being a completely noob about I’ve never been so excited 🎉🎉🎉
Doing my UK motorcycle tests tomorrow and the day after. After training on the MT-07, I've found it very stable at low speed, a very smooth throttle and clutch, with oodles of torque. It will be my first big bike. It feels like a great beginner's bike, as long as you're sensible. The only quirks are the clunk getting into 1st and the tiny indicator switch.
But don't forget that you can do small simple upgrades to the mt-07 to make it better for instance bit a little thicker fork oil in the forks that will take away sponginess in the front and then put a smaller rear sprocket and that will take some of the torque away and add a little speed 😁 that's what I did to my bike and it works 😁
Would take the 4RR if at the same price point due to the fact that I can do both track days and improve my skill even more as well as daily it without too much worries.
I definitely love the MT-07... can wait to see who are the winners! Hope to be lucky and get my dream motorcycle as a beginner! Thanks again for all the information Yammie I take all information i can to have a successful first experience as a beginner, can wait to take my msf course and get my license
Interesting. 31" is about the seat height on my San Quentin 2 with the dropper compressed. Also, I've always felt that the MT07 riding position would be the most comfortable for me coming from mountain biking.
I own MT-07, it's my first bike and I would highly recomend it even to complete beginner, even unrestricted, no need to start on 35kW. My bike never tend to do a wheelie, you have to full throttle thru clutch to make a wheelie, so it can't happen accidentally.
The answer is neither- you get a used bike that is light, under 40 hp and runs well , that fits your body. These bikes cost 3500 + dollars more than you need to spend.
Can you give some examples? Also, what is an acceptable mileage? I'd hate to immediately have the valves checked and potentially pay for a valve job. Also, beginners don't really know how a bike should run or sound... you'd think it would be impossible to test ride a used bike with 15k miles and immediately tell if the oil has never been changed right?
I started on 08 R1😂 and don’t regret it I’m still alive 15 years later if you respect the machine a machine will respect you simple you fuk around and you will find out very quickly
Idk I’m just not a fan of sport bikes. Naked bikes are as far as I would ever go, but I much prefer comfortability. So: cruisers. I’m the kinda guy that would buy a Rebel 500 and turn it into a touring bike with bags, a trunk, etc. lol
And you're completely right. Unfortunately, motorcycling outside countries where it's endemic (e.g. India) is dominated by hotheads and peer pressure - which is what makes it appear so dangerous to everyone else.
Best, yet most expensive thing for everyone is to progress with bikes. Start off with 125, then some 30-50hp bike and then you can go all out. EU kinda forces it with diffrent licences. Still even on the smallest of bikes idiot will kill himself
This depends upon are you a street rider and short track rider or a scream it to the moon and big track rider. To daily then mt07 every time. For outright speed and long track fun go zx4rr.
Zx4rr é muito mais bonita e mais confortável e não levas com o vento, tem um som brutal, não tem nada a ver mt07 outro tipo de moto, parabéns pelo vídeo.
Is the Ninja 650R really as underwhelming as everyone says? I wanted a ninja for my first bike and really like the Ninja 400, but I wanted a 650cc version of that. So... Would the Ninja 650 really be that bad of a choice?
Engine is a 180° twin, so it's not as characterful as some of the other engines in the 650/700 class. I personally found it a little boring when I rode one. Very smooth engine though. Just comes down to what you want out of a bike.
I think that is a decent introduction to sport bikes. Very comfortable ergonomics and a healthy amount of power for a beginner. I’d rather get an r7 but if you’re a ninja fan then the 650 would be just fine.
I think it's a great beginner bike. It's a the ninja 400 with more power. Highways are gonna be easier to cruise on and abit more torque for the street/ twisties. Comfy ergonomics like hybrid between naked/ sport. The r7 and cb650r can definitely get from underneath you/ more aggressive. Won't get bored on the 650 as quickly as u would the 400
Ive been riding 3 years now, i finally got an mt07 and its definetly not for beginners. Id say get drz400sm on slightly knobby tires and learn to ride on and offroad, then get the mt07 lol. Thats skipping 12 bikes i owned btw.
Bro does the Kawasaki 4rr and Aprilla rs660 have the same rear shock fitment? Coz I saw some aftermarket ohlins rear shock for Aprilla rs 660 and Im just wondering if it fits to my Kawasaki zx4rr, please help me on this bro coz I want an ohlins rear shock suspension on my zx4rr thanks bro
I would not call either of these beginner bikes, maybe the ninja, but if you never rode a street bike but you have ridden say scooters or dirt bikes or even quads, then sure.
I agree with the returning rider i started on a 250rr and i hated it so much that i stopped riding eventually found myself on an mt07 and its night and day tue torque on the bike and the mt range and crossplane just lovely i will be a lifelong yamaha customer
i would have bought a new MT07 if it werent for the IMO retarded color scheme. i hate it. give me one in Yamaha blue and im a buyer. dunno why Yamaha felt the need to go cyan. i hope Yamaha sees this. note likely but hopeful.
Not 12K, but I'll gladly pay a premium for a ZX4R or a similar bike in the future over a 400cc twin. Sounds better, rides more fun, and it will be cheaper to register, insure, and most likely fuel than a 600+ cc.

So can you explain what you believe a sensible rider to be? Just curious because I’m still saving and looking for a bike possibly.
Same here fell in love with it on my test for A licence ... will be buying it in next month with akrapovic exaust of course ... 🤪

I own both of these bikes and I would NEVER recommend the MT-07 to a beginner. That bike wheelies way to easy for that.

Should be against R7
Can't compare apple to pears
MT07 ergonomics is way more friendlier then any sport bike
Zxr400rr would be a dream bike for a beginner. Learn all the basics then have the ecu flash. Thats like upgrading a bike with the same bike.
BTW it's still scary lol 😆 pulls hard throws you into the turns real nice as well
How much performance to you add with the ecu flash?
@@RedRager3 u get the bikes raw hp it comes as 55 hp with flash 77 with ram air 80
next I guess for the smaller beginner bike like MT-03 vs Z250?
Is there any difference between the new 2025 ZX4RR and the 2024?
Genuine question, why not buy the slightly more expensive MT-07, which has a TFT display and a sexy matte black color?
R7 or mt07 you get the big bike look big rear tire the power is more than enough to easily overtake any regular car on the road more gas saver
Isn’t the RS660 better than both of these ?!?
Just go r7 if you think like that it’s more reliable in my opinion
Ofc it is better, it's the best middle naked bike.
This depends upon are you a street rider and short track rider or a scream it to the moon and big track rider. To daily then mt07 every time. For outright speed and long track fun go zx4rr.

Will you ever be giving away a bike in Europe? Would be nice 😢
These two bikes are completely different, nothing to compare here. I would go for MT07 without any doubt.
But it should be vs R7 at that price and type of bike. This just highlights how good the Mt-07 is.
I love the classy music

You're a tall guy so probably MT07...heard ZX4RR is cramped
