This bike is a complete masterpiece from Yamaha. I got a 2023 model from Europe and this runs like butter. It's an amazing machine, insane torque for a bike this size. This is probably the first bike that I will keep until it rusts in my retirement home in 50 years.
My dude, who is a dedicated liter bike fast boy swapped bikes with me for a few miles, my MT-07 and his built ZX-10R, my first liter bike experience. He rode my MT and I went mach 10 on his monstrous bike. When we finished I asked him what he thought and he had the biggest smile on his face and said, "I had a lot more FUN than I was expecting!" It's a great bike, no cap!
This would be the beginner bike that I recommend. It's large enough where you're not going to get bored with it. It's not overpowered to the degree where it is dangerous for a beginner. Riding ergonomics are excellent for visibility and ease of riding. And, it looks fantastic.
Overall just a great all-rounder.
This bike is not a beginner bike. Its a fun bike for people who wanna play. Not a bike you wanna learn on. Second bike, definitely. Beginner?... It can be done but its not a beginner bike, Just like you can start on a BMW s1000rr and can learn on it, but its not a beginner bike.
😮
@@Jamie-cz2xuAgreed. Sick of those talking about “not getting bored of”. Entertainment should not be the metric for a beginner vehicle of any type.
I've heard this so many times and it just doesn't seem like sound advice for someone who's never even been on a dirt bike.
I'll go for an MT03.
@@neonsheep3358 depends, as a beginner i went for the MT-07 because the MT-03 was to low seated for me, im a big guy and the 3 was a bit unpleasant to sit on, the 07 felt alot better.
i never driven a bike before, cept for 2stroke scooters when i was 16
Middle-aged noobie here. I'm 3 weeks into my first bike, 2023 MT07. There's plenty of power to grow into, yet it has plenty of low speed fun for a beginner. Low end torque can catch a new rider by rude surprise though in the absolute beginning, IMO. Otherwise. it's a blast :)
My 2015 Fz07(pre abs) is my 1st road bike that I have had for just over 4 years now and have over 45k miles on it with just basic oil changes and regular maintenance. So much aftermarket potential to really personalize this bike to your needs! Just did a 10 hour ride last week down to Phoenix and back up through the white mountains and it is a perfect all around ripper for just about anything you can throw at it without exceeding most riding situations. It never gets boring to ride 🍒 (Exhaust, K&N Air filter and ECU flash really wake up these bikes)🥳
I have a 2018 mt07 and I love the bike but I will say changing the rear sprocket from a 43 tooth down to a 40 tooth is definitely worth it! It still has plenty of power and torque but it lowers the rpm a little bit and now I get 62 to 63mpg all day everyday 😁
Low prius mpg i bet you its a lot faster than one too
Does having less teeth give bikes better mpg?
@@pinchserver6883 less teeth allows you going at the same speed (wheel rotation) but at lower RPM, which in turns gives you better mpg.
@@badSanta31337 what are the downsides or negatives to less teeth. I'm not quite getting the concept. What kind of writing would having less teeth advantage? I don't care about gas mileage, so that's not an issue. Thanks.
@Yowzoe slower acceleration. But it's really marginal. You won't really feel it in the first 3 gears, but 4th and up you will.
You’ve really stepped up the quality in your videos man, seems like something you’d watch on regular tv
Yamaha MT07 is the best bang for your buck. I love that bike never get bored with it.
I just bought my 2022 MT-07 from a dealer in southern Wisconsin and drove it back home about 400 miles away and I can confirm that it can handle the freeways really well. You get obliterated by the wind but all in all it's a good bike that you need to change the stock seat to Yamaha's Comfort seat. I'd recommend making that change before any other mods to the bike.
is it possible to add a fairing, one that you can take off and put on pretty easily?
MT-07 It is so much value for your money its ridiculous. Bulletproof reliable, plenty of torque and holds its value. If you are considering to get one do not hesitate, you will absolutely love it.
Riding it hard in a twisties you will feel that suspension is a less sporty more comfy oriented. You have to be realistic and you just cannot expect to have premium suspension at this price tag. My dream bike would be MT-07 SP (premium version like they do with MT 09 SP). I would not mind to pay extra 2k for it.
I have a 21’ MT07 with a hordpower intake, M4 exhaust, 2WDW tune. Bike is a blast and sounds great
Moved and got myself a used Gen 1. Had to leave a Monster 1200s but where I live now the 07 hits 90% of what I want. Such a good all around bike. Way easier getting Yamaha parts too.
I have a MT07 2022 and did a full Akrapovic and ECU flash, and it's a blast to ride !
You guys sound like your having a absolute blast! Love the look, and the rider position. Would be the perfect bike for me having started on a Yamaha xt250, and this would a a great second step in the moto world.
I've never been into motorcycles in my 41 years on this planet. I'm a car guy. Lately I've been toying around with the idea of getting something. First thought was a Grom to screw around with. That quickly became an MT-03 due to it being actually usable. Which is now evolving into an MT-07. A one and done deal. I don't like cruiser/Harley type bikes at all. I don't care about track driving or an uncomfortable sport bike. I have cars for that. The MT-07 appears to check all the right boxes. I think it might be the one.
I spent months researching the right bike to have… I pulled trigger on a 2022 MT-07 and wow. It’s everything I need. So many “Yeses” and a very good price point for what you get. I’m 10 months into ownership and 4890 miles in and I’m not even close to bored. I’ve since ridden 6-7 other bikes (friends and dealerships) and I love coming back to my MT-07.
literally same scenario for me.. bought a lightly used 24 MT07 (1200mi on it) and its a silly blast to ride. Only drawback, its pulling attention away from completing my E30 track toy :p
I have the XSR 700. I can confirm it's a great beginner motor,so much torque,so much fun.
Man, be careful with MY bike!
Thanks for everything, Yammie!
Got a used 2021 MT-07 in orange this spring and I absolutely love it. One of the easiest bikes to ride but also one of the funniest.
Best beginner bike IMO. First time i rode a motorcycle was when i bought my FZ07. Got out on the rode and it was great.
Noob over the years we have had our differences, but I have to say that this is a great review. I have a 2022 MT07 as well as others and I think that it is plenty of bike for the UK roads. Good review dude.
My colleague recommended this bike to me. Been doing research since and I can't wait to get one now.
Love this bike it is honestly the my dream bike for a first bike
Cool video good to see you having fun 😂
Got a 16' FZ-07, and the only issue i had with it was the front suspension. Got it adjusted, and haven't had a single problem ever since. Go an incredible sounding Akrapovic exhaust too. Sounds mean as hell. But damn is she one hell of a fun bike to ride.
Gotta love seeing Gixxer Brah is wearing off on good ol Yam. Wheelies on the street xD
One of these would be perfect to go with my r1250 Gsa. Perfect around town/ curvy road bike and have the Gsa for long haul and dirt road.
I've been driving a Yamaha Aerox scooter for 9 years, Yamaha makes such good vehicles in my opinion. The MT07 is probably my ideal "real" bike once I get into driving real motorcycles.
isnt that a 50cc? props to you for having the will power to ride that for 9 years aha
@@RiceSandwichesIt's a 150cc bike. The latest version has a 155cc engine taken from the Yamaha R15, the second smallest in Yamaha's R-series line. It's a neat scooter.
@@RiceSandwiches Living in Sweden will do that to you, it’s what my licence allows me to drive lol. Started driving at 16, 25 today and trying to get more advanced licences haha
@@wargolemx102 The one I ride is a 50cc, actually. Here in Sweden they’re classed as class 1 mopeds, capped at 45 km/h (28 mph).
Good bike if you’re coming from dirt or something like a grom or moped. I wouldn’t say it’s a beginner bike because it’s definitely fairly powerful and heavy but still maintains approachability for some responsible beginners and those with experience on smaller bikes.
I bought a mt07 as my upgrade this year and I'm loving the bike. I dont see my self selling it.
Man amazing videoo! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 fingers crossed Ireally like this bike and they look amazing, it would be amazing to have one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 can wait to hear who are the 2 winners🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
As a beginner rider this bike was a W, unfortunately I got brake checked and it got totaled. BUT I loved it. Def recomend
Dreaming about MT-07 for years...
What a fun video ! Loved it. Yammie what area is that around ? I’m local to Austin and I would love to find more riding spots.
I’ve only seen mt07 twice that I can remember. Once when it was doing a wheelie past me on the freeway and once when one passed a car using the bike lane at a high rate of speed and tboned the truck I was riding passenger in while we were turning across traffic (we were completely clear until the single headlight came flying around a car)
Shoot the MT-07 is my favorite bike. Even though it’s not the fastest or the prettiest bike, it is such a good bike. Would love to compare it to my 2017 fz-07. 🏍️
4:22 Had my first lesson yesterday (in the Netherlands, Europe) and indeed it was on a yamaha MT07.
As a European I can confirm that the MT07 along with the Z650, SV650 for with some even, and the CB650R are commonly used for motorcycle riding school.
Naked bikes are great all rounders. My Z750 is also great for riding streets specs wise really in the sweet spot.
Was a fun video joining you 2 bopping around on obtainable fun bikes.
True. My school bike was indeed a MT07
@@kebabalubasame here, learned on a mt07, never driven two weeks before. Bought a z650 from a school for cheap
Such fun watching this video! I just sold my MT07 and bought a 2023 MT09, but the 07 is definitely the love of my life! The best beginner bike for sure!
So sick
Yamm my mab, you should definetly check out and review the new Honda cb750 hornet!! I am sure you will love it and it's the MT-07 killer!!
A motorcycle that’s not available here won’t beat anything in the states. Come on Honda, it’s time to bring it here.
I like your video, always wanted to have an MT07. Hope to join your giveaways here in the Philippines.
I see you trying dank nooner🤘🔥
I passed my test on an mt07, awesome bikes
Just sat on one myself, I’m 5’8” wanted a bolt for years now but I think the nimbleness of the naked/sport category would suit me better for a 1st bike 🤷🏻♂️
The MT07 is so fun!
Bro Its my dream Mt 07 bike .. A huge fan of Sports bike . Love from India ❤
Just entered a competition myself to try and win this bike after riding my instructors after I did my cbt a year ago I've always wanted one since getting my full license
A lot of cycle cruza energy on this video .. Uga bugga
Bug out Moto!
front suspension is probably set for wheelies ?
also CF Moto has started production of the NK800 with the same engine as the 790duke and a LOT of extras in the same price as the MT-07
Broo that was slickk. I never knew you knew how to do wheelies..... Probably learned from gixxerbrah 😅.
I bought the MT 07 2014 Yesterday. The only thing i dont like are the head lichts on the new ones.
As a UK A2 restricted rider Mt07 is the literally the best bike I would get although restricted I would have rather got that bike due to its nice torque but I settled on a ninja 400 due to cheaper price and is A2 compliant without restrictions
Although, with the MT-07 you could have had the ECU flashed to remove the restrictions when you graduate licenses.
im so earlyyy i love it, im proud of myself
If the Honda CB 750 hornet doesn't come to the US by next year, this bike is absolutely going to be my next bike. My little CB300R is a fun little bike, but good god I need something more.
I’m waiting too. I’m a Honda guy. Got my fingers crossed
my dream bike.❣️
I have experience with a 2 stroke yz125 and I was debating between this mt07 and a Ducati hypermotard 821 as my first street legal bike which one would be a better choice
Öhlins ?
I would be a great epiosde if you upgrade the suspension on the MT-07 bike to the Öhlins suspension upgrade kit front and rear.
Does it make a difference ?
What boots do you use?
I am a.. soon to be new rider whom is buying gear first. I just grabbed some Alpinestar smx1r v2 vented boots, curious if I should look for more ... protection.
I love mine
Come now inundate me! I like the MT 07actually there have been longer reviews I am wondering why the MT 07 got only 18, how ever, great stuff.
i hope one day i will have one of this bikes :( Regards from the philippines
That's a awesome one...I hope one day ❤...I get to ride
Im learning on a mt07
If I win this my brother will love his new mt07.
I have one … my only complaint is the seat . After 1 1/2 I start having seat issues , other than that I have very little complaints
Upgrade the seat
Two words: Corbin Gunfighter.
@@kenbowlus2995 yes but it is a pricey upgrade.
You know what's funny, I'm going to be getting one of these for my first bike at 7k
I wish yall here in guyana bro
I'm a bike enthusiast... Can I ever have a power bike this? I'll be the happiest man
I wanted this bike so bad but it was just out of my price range 😩
man this would be so much better than my Chinese street legal dirt bike🤣. hope I win one
yammie how does this bike do off-road?
I really want an MT-07 I just started riding 2-3 months ago and my first bike is a big Yamaha 650 cruiser that I traded a computer for I love the bike it's just heavy for me I've dropped it a few times and can pick it up myself for my size I think that is pretty good but as a beginner I've wanted an MT-07 since before I even sat on my v star as of now it's my dream bike until I get more experience and can handle a bigger engine my goal as a rider is to have fun not just take a relaxing slow cruise until yesterday I had been using a helmet that was too big for me yesterday I sold my subs and amp just so I could afford a helmet that fit
Mt07 are a great bike recommend it to anyone. But I had to sell mine due to loosing my job from covid when the 1st wave hit.
This is the High out-put version yes? We have 2 versions here in Australia. One is learner approved with 38kw/52hp of power. Do you have 2 versions in America?
Only one version here.
Me and my brother tried ordering something from your website to enter but keeps saying it can't ship to our address. Can you not ship to Illinois? Or is there an website issue?
15:45 is it even possible to add a small *fairing* , one that you can *put on and remove* pretty easily?
Did yamaha Change the display? It looks like previous Gen. I have the 2021 and mine is not like that.
I'm 47 years old & 5"10/155lbs . I took my motorcycle license 15 years ago, but I never got a chance to ride. I like naked bikes bikes. What is a better beginner between MT-07 or Honda CB650R? I'm considering 2024-25 CB650R with e-clutch if it comes to the USA. 🤞🏾
Its a shame you don't get the MT07 based Tracer 7 over there in the US, its a great bike, much lighter than the Tracer 9.
The Tracer 7 also gets better forks than the MT07
You know that 😊yamaha xsr 155 lunch date
We're not "scrubbing in our tires" we're just bored being stuck behind traffic. Love the track only rider having opinions on street riding, and then he goes and does the exact thing. Let's hear your opinions on dirt riders' habits next.
Deff its not a biginner bike!!!! Has a lot of power and if you don't know how to handle it can be to good for a starter! Manoeuvrability i can say its super easy. Also a bit more heavier than MT125 and MT03, which is obviously normal.
I have a 22 Mt07 and the TFT sucks its too bright at night even all the way down it blinds you. And the glare if the sun hits it blinds you. Other than that it is a good bike
Get a tinted cover, they don't even cost much, get a few cause they do wear out.
Nice
One major major issue with this bike is that the immobiliser can be disabled very quickly by a $10 piece of tech from ebay. Its one of, if not the most stolen bike in existence
Good to know. What do you do to lessen the odds of theft. New to this.
Should I buy it I am beginner
What about the new gsx 8s
Whats good beginner bike at 5'5 lol us short kings ride too 😂😢😢
I have a 2018 yamaha mt 07, and im worried about that clunking sound when shifting gears, not just to 1st but from 1st to 4th.. help!? Does anyone know something that could help me out? Im new to bikes.
Cable wire throttle is probably safer than a ride by wire or no ?
I'm kinda torn between this and the ZX4R (not the RR)
I was initially fully with the MT-07 and then one day I got to sit on an S1000RR, which was the first bike I have ever sat on in my life and it felt amazing, I have never wanted a sportbike/supersport more before, and a few days after that, we get the announcement that the ZX4R is launching here in India, so now I'm leaning more towards getting that.
If Papa Yam could help with this, I would be really grateful!
Mto7 would be more fun in the long run. Zx4 is a gimmick bike
@@johnshukeireh5804 my guy, literally so many people (experienced riders) including Yammie have said that the ZX4R is one of it not the most fun bike they've ever ridden
Zx4r all the way. It’s the machine for the enthusiast.
it really depends of what you want to do with the bike really, if you want some toy for the weekends having a good time on the twistys sure ZX4R but if you want do it all bike for daily driving and still having a really good time mt 07, the zx4r has the same amount of hp a bit less than the mt 07 but alot less torque, means for city driving and climb you really need to rev that thing while the mt 07 has instant torque in all gears, i´ve drove the ZX4R and i own an mt 07
@@3thndv155 that's ma man!
It is such a nice color and is my dream bike I bought a shirt hoping I get picked if u guys see me win keep a look out I’ll be doing blogs on the bike
MT07 is daddy
i want it
Ooooooo I want it
I don’t even own a bike yet, but I’m going to buy a helmet, jacket and gloves this week just to support Yam and the channel
Where my MT09s at? 😎 brap brap
My first bike was a 2003 Busa and now I have a 2022 H2 SX SE. I knew if I got a smaller bike that eventually I would need a bigger bike so I just went ahead and got the Busa. If you can respect the bike and it's power then a Busa is definitely a good starter bike👌😁
23 Mt-09 next👀
The comment I was looking for, I got a 1st gen FZ09 that I've ripped around LA for years. Have fun amigo, ride safe.
