Yo cyclecruza there's someone in the comments posing as you trying to scam your viewers. If you find my comment from yesterday you will see where they tried me. Just FYI bro. Be safe
I have a 21 MT07, full system, carbon bling, ohlins shock, front fork upgrades.
I love it for the twisties where I live West Central Arkansas
suspensions is literally the worst part of this bike, an engineering fail wich has a cheap fix ,
there's a video about it on youtube as well, and u can get really cheap unused stock suspensions for this bike en masse, because all the people replace them and sell the stock on cheap lol.. not knowing how u can easily fix the issue, some racing mechanic at some event showed people how to fix it...
im sure if u search on youtube, you would find the video....
I have the mt07 2018, traded my r6 for it, and I'm very happy with it, no more back pain, no more heating my balls of in the city, enough power ahah
It takes so long for the complaining sport bike guys to understand this…… Congrats!
Naked bikes are no doubt where it’s at. I have an SV650 and love everything about it. Only wish I had the fully-faired sport bike look but I still love the thing
Nice! It is good we no longer have to ride track bikes around with all of these cool naked bikes out now. R6 is a great track weapon tho!
@@CycleCruza yeah I went to the track with my R6, dragged some knees, fulfilled my wish for that, now I can enjoy my rides.
MT07 Is the best bike one can buy nowadays. I had lots of bikes and MT10 including... 07 is just amazing. It feels a lot like 10 in many ways but it's more agile below 100kmph and consumes much less gas and what is mainly missing comparing to MT10 is that top end power(which anyways should be avoided on street riding, as with many 1000cc bikes). What I want to say is that i sold mt10 mostly because of big fuel consumption (i ride lots per year) and i couldn't believe how much I fell in love with 07. Honestly, i thought it might be underwhelming for the guy who got used to 1000cc, but 07 proved a great point. Great torque, no electronics, great character from engine, 87% of power on 3k rpm, amazing handling, amazing fuel consumption, great comfortable sitting position, and it's also great for two up riding. 09 came to my mind but i don't like that fully upright sitting position, strange handling at slower speeds, lack of front end feel that 07 and 10 have, and I'd need to lower the passenger foot pegs to modify it. 07 is just amazing and perfect for most riders and most use cases... I highly recommend it to everyone.
I was not expecting to like it this much. Have you tried the 2021+ yet? This one is a keeper for sure. Now I see why many motovloggers rave about this bike.
@@CycleCruza yeah, I was actually writing about the 2021+ model. That's the one I had... I moved to another country and looking to buy it again. I believe i found the only bike I need now and in the future. Hearing you talk about it and about bikes in general, really reminds me how I feel about riding. 07 is the one! 👍
It might do everything well, but there isn't anything exciting about it either. I suppose a commuter bike is its main purpose.
If your not speeding it might be fun but it it's just too slow top end for me
@@CycleCruza So what bike will your Purchase next in a year or two .. I keep teling you to get the Indian FTR-1200 .. Maybe a Ducatti Scrambler.. Dessert model ..
I have $2,000 into side cases and top case and brackets for my FZ-07 .. When I got down to the tail of the Dragon I took $80.00 of luggage and gear off from the bike .
I have the Madstad adjustable windscreen and I also have a fly screen .. for hot days .. can remove the windscreen in two minuts and install the flys screen ..
Awesome bike! Glad you’re digging it! It reminds me of something I’ve heard other bikers say about your cc progression. You start at 250/300, go to 600, then 1000. Then you realize all that power is pointless, so you go down to a 650.
At any rate, enjoy the ride, you don’t need to do too much to it. I’d go for frame sliders, swingarm spools and see what kind of options I had for mounting a phone. Other than that, it looks good to go!
yeah 1 of my bikes is a 2017 sv650, i beat most people in my local twisties
Yeah me too,I started with 2 Honda scooters,then Yamaha Srx250,after that all Kawasakis,all Ninjas: 600,750,and the mighty ZX-11,now ,a R3,very very fun 😊 bike,it really teach me really how to ride bikes!
Congrats on finding a new MT-07! I've been researching the 07 and 09 and you make a lot of good points, in this video. Also, I'm loving the content you put out on your channel, it's very entertaining and informative. I just started motovlogging literally 4 days ago and have shouted you out in one of my videos. Keep up the good work and ride safe!
Thanks SirDuz! I appreciate it. Welcome to the motovlogger community! Have fun but stay safe!
I actually just came back from the track on this bike, and I loved every second of it dragging knee through almost every corner . It was my first track day too!
NICE!
That CP2 is a gem of an engine. I have a '21 MT09SP and love it more but I'll always have a soft spot for my old MT07.
I'm happy you're enjoying your new bike. I feel you on the mid range bikes out on the streets. I just got a Ninja 650. I've had bikes all sizes. This is the best way to do it. Got that bottom end, got that usable power for commuting. It's the most comfortable bike I've owned to date. Close 2nd was my 2008 Yamaha FZ1.
Gotta ride a real sport bike man....feel some real power
@@2wheelsonly614 I've owned 2 CBR1000RRs, a Super Blackbird, a Hayabusa, and a FZ1 to name a few. These days I'm aiming for comfort, mpg, and lower cost of ownership. Might pick up a GSX-R down the line in a couple years for spirited riding.
Yeah the smaller mid-range bikes are more practical and fun for urban city riding. I did not like that 2020 MT-09 I had mainly because of the weird chassis, it is just not as comfortable as the MT-07 and the MT-07 sounds better. The Ninja 650 is a really nice bike, I always recommend that bike as well.
I went from a mt10 to a mt07 and now have the new mt09. After the Akra, dna stage 2 filter and tune the new mt09 is a absolute dream, so much better handling than the older gen and very punchy. That said I miss my mt10 for the top end and soundtrack and I miss my 7 for non stop wheelies (easiest bike to wheelie ever) and city cruising. They’re all sooo good, I love them all.
I had an akra and tune on my MT-09, made it much better but I just did not gel with that bike at all. I hear the new mt-09 is better but still has that shitty on/off ride by wire throttle. Its too bad because that triple cylinder engine is great. Honestly, I don't feel much difference from 0-60 between the mt-07 and mt-09, both pull hard off the line. I like the mt-07 better tho compared to my former 2020 mt-09.
@@CycleCruza after the tune it’s smooth as a 4 cylinder, the R1 electronics are ridiculously good and the chassi has much more stability and front end feel, give the new one a go :)
MT10 is Hella easy to wheelie.... will wheelie itself in first three gears with power alone. The factory quickshifter is magnificent bonus as is allows to wheelie thru all the gears without having to put the front wheel down ever.
@@lopezdad30 yes it does it easy as, so does the 9 actually, I can third gear power wheelie and go through all the gears, before the tune it would only do it second gear. Mt07 is sooo good on the back wheel though, it’s one of the easiest road bikes to learn clutch ups and even first gear wheelies at low speed are so easy to control.
I did the same thing. Went from MT-09 to Mt-07 because it's way more fun to ride a slower bike fast than literally just smoke yourself on the Mt-09 when you finally get balls to go full throttle. The acceleration on the MT-09 is brutal for the uninitiated! A great bike but I'm less likely to kill myself on the 07 if I want to run through the gears. I think it's more fun honestly. Stay safe out there!
cyclecruza, this is your first video I watched. Love your enthusiasm and honest review. I am thinking of MT-07 as my second bike (have 2021 Tiger 900). looks like MT-07 is a little hooligan. love it. you made my day
Congrats on the new bike. I just got an MT-07 two days ago. Love it so far.
Nice! Congrats to you as well.
Awesome!!! I have a 2022 Mt07, bought new in May. I'm traveling the US west riding the bike all over. 8000 miles so far in less than 5 months. The bike is solid! The downside ( all minor). The seat gets uncomfortable after about 3 hours of riding, and gets blown around on the highway a little, but that's more because it's so light.
Great bike. Even does alright off-road!
I have one that’s now done 5000km. After 700km, the suspension just bedded in really well. I’ve changed out the 10 wt fork oil for 15 to help with the lack of rebound damping. I’m thinking to give 20wt fork oil a go to see if it’s an improvement without being to slow on the rebound. The rear shock rebound bumping adjuster screw has been wound all the way in and one revolution out. Works pretty good for me at about 90kg.
Congrats on the new bike! I love the MT07! Just got one too in June also the 2022 MT07 its so much fun! I was debating on getting getting the MT09 but insurance was a lot more so the Mt07 is an excellent choice. Also less likely to get arrested for speeding. Make sure to sync up the throttle bodies on the new bike. My throttle was a bit twitchy (on or off) but they adjusted it at the first service and its perfect now!
Thanks! Like I said in the video I like the MT-07 better than the MT-09 I had. I know the new one is supposed to be better but that bike just doesn't gel with me, weird chassis. I loved the triple cylinder engine though. However, I'm loving this cp2 engine on the mt-07, 1-3 gears are fun around town, hooligan bike! when I flash tune the bike when I get my full exhaust it will make it even better.. Best of luck!
WOW! What an awsome bike man, looks so modern and cool with that black color! Another banger video again keep up the good work Cruza 💪
I love this; just got a mt07 myself so I'll be following your journey with this super closely. excited for thursday
This is fun to watch and so engaging...great review. You do a great job...appreciate your input and review of the MT-07.
I can’t wait till you fully upgrade this bike. I’ve got a fully upgraded FZO seven and I love it. It comes alive when you get the exhaust she’s definitely a monster.
CRUZAA! You gotta do the R6 throttle mod on the MT07. Completely transforms the bike reducing the throttle rotation from 90 degrees to 45 degrees.
For the exhaust, consider Black Widow. Around $450, quality parts, and sounds mean.
As for the seat, you could order a tall mt07 seat from Europe that increases the seat height by 2 inches
Agreed on the black widow. Idk if you need to ship them to US tho or if they have a shop there?
Honestly, stock is fun as hell to me, will be even sicker with sound. Throttle is fine to me. I'll check on the aftermarket seats even though the stock is not too bad. I have some nice mods coming, I just can't wait to get some sounds already.
What is the R6 throttle mod?
@@CycleCruza R6 throttle is a 30 dollhair mod and took me 15 minutes to install. It feels like the throttle that should have come from the factory, it makes downshifts and power wheelies much easier. Absolutely worth it Cruza.
@@5150GSD The radius of the portion of the R6’s throttle tube that the throttle cables wrap around is roughly double that of the MT-07 OEM throttle tube. This translates to getting more power without twisting your wrist as far (45 degrees to wide-open-throttle, compared to 90). Makes downshifts a breeze and less of a chore to have to modify hand position to access all of the 07’s power.
As a 2021 mt07 owner I am so happy to see you enjoying the new bike!! I am excited for the next videos!
But man, you gotta buy the akrapovic, they sound really really good and the built/fitment is perfect, I have the akrapovic racing line carbon and I love it, you also have the titanium version but its more expensive, they both sound amazing (titanium with db killer sounds just like stock, you have to take it out and its not so easy as the racing line). If you are planing on buyiing a cheaper exaust I really DONT recomend the black widow, the build quality is really bad and they are TOO loud. If going budjet I suggest you the Dominator hp8 for sure!
Love all the build series. Excited to see what you do with this one.
Thanks! This is going to be a fun one!
Oh Dam C.C. I saw a smudge mark when you cranked it up LoL
Man that’s dope! It’s great to see someone with over 300,000 subscribers by a bike that most people can obtain!! ✌🏾💯💪🏾🙏🏾
Good luck trying to obtain one though, every dealership was sold out and I had a tough time even ordering one and it took a month to get. This was thee hardest bike I ever tried to get since I started riding. First time I ever paid full MSRP price.
I started watching your channel when I was 62 and am now 65. I was riding my BMW R1100RS then. I sold that when I bought an Ercoupe. You would love it CycleCruza! I still like your videos though. I am now an ErcoupeCruza.
The on off throttle response is an adjustment to the tension of the throttle cable. Usually ad a little tension to the pull side and balance the return if necessary. That adjustment made all the difference.
Thank you for this. reinforces my choice, I will be picking up my 2022 MT07 Friday, adding it to my HD collection of a 2003 low rider and a 2014 Street Glide Special. I come in at 5'5" 160 lbs I think I'm going to have a blast on this
You'll love it and it is low enough for you. The sound will rival your Harley!
After owning a Kawasaki z400, followed by a Honda Shadow Aero 750, I have discovered the MT-07. I am hoping to get one for the 2023 season. It just seems like the most perfect motorcycle for me. After watching this video the MT-07 has been solidified as my dream bike. I am the same way, 0-70 is all I need in Chicago.
Your enthusiasm makes me happy! Looking to downsize next year. My bike can go 160 (Kawasaki 636 personally tested in the P.A. mountains) but I want something smaller and lighter now! I want a KLX 300 Supermoto, but you got me interested in this bike right here! I will keep my 636 forever though.
Get both a supermoto and a new MT-07!
@@CycleCruza I cant afford both my dude! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're so right about a liter bike for the road, it's a lot of power not used for real life riding conditions. And those Michelin 5 tire's are excellent!, I have the new Michelin road 6 tires, very predictable, excellent and wet conditions, and awesome handling. Great choice on the MT7. 👌🏾✅
Yeah they are nice, didn't slip once in the rain even when I ripped the throttle off the bottom.
U can use 1000 power all day....just twist ur wrist
I have the new mt09 and I don't feel like the throttle is an on/off switch. But I never rode any of the older models so I have nothing to compare it to
I’m with you on the fly by wire stuff. I don’t even like it in a car. Sometimes I feel like I can count in seconds how long it takes for the car to react from the point I’ve pressed on the throttle to the point that it actually moves. I couldn’t imagine dealing with that on a bike. Never thought I’d be spoiled with an actual throttle cable on my first gen Z1k 😅
Yeah it is too artificial, slight delay sucks. MT-09 was really bad, on/off feeling was terrible.
@@CycleCruza id say it’s like it’s not linear
Agreed, it feels detached and delayed.
My husqvarna 701 svartpilen is ride by wire and its great. It depends on who does it. Ktm/husqvarna have the ride by wire down.
@@CycleCruza That's one thing that carburetors are better at!
However I don't like carbs but the fueling/throttle response on those carburated bikes is perfection!
I love the review, the optimism and positivity is great and like I have always said I adore the MT 07 and hope that this will be a long relationship also love what you said about the wind by the way and am waiting for the one month review. Good stuff👍👍👍
It aint no fun to ride a fast bike slow...hit the nail on the head, you are absolutely right! I had a Busa and a couple big Bandits for many years (loved 'em) but got rid of them over the last several years and got a cb500x in '19. It's perfect for commuting, fun to ride, no electronic rider aids needed and 70 mpg! Then I added a 2022 mt09sp to compliment the cb and love the thing but really the mt07 would have been just as good of a choice. Some bikes just strike the almost perfect balance of weight/power/handling/fun and the mt07 is on that list.
Nice! I admire the big bikes but then I remember the speeding tickets and being bored riding them slow. Since going to smaller torquey bikes I'm having the time of my life again. I like this MT-07 much better than the 2020 MT-09 I had. I hear the new MT-09 SP is much better but many said it still has that on/off throttle problem. I just don't like ride by wire throttles, even the good ones irritate me with that slight delay.
Man, I enjoy your videos. you inspired me to build my own fx. that said would be cool for you to review something I'm not already considering if that makes since.
I love the entire MT series, they're all so hard to get right now though, it's unbelievable. BTW your comment on the wind was absolutely hilarious, couldn't agree more.
This was thee hardest bike to get. I spent an entire day calling all over the country and they were all sold out and backed up with orders. I found ONE dealer here in OH that could place an order and it took well over a month to get it. I didn't think it was ever going to come.
@@CycleCruza I've been trying forever for the MT-07, I just got an opportunity to pick up at Mt-10 SP thought and am having a very tough time deciding whether to take that or wait for the 07! Do you think the 07 is that much better for street riding? I don't do any track and just want a comfortable, fun commuter.
@@CycleCruza I drove 5 hours to get my '22 MT-007. Ain't nothing wrong with the suspension. Perfect bike for the street.
@@seancrane4301 I rode 5 hours to get my 2022 09 haha worth every mile..
Im so glad you’re having fun CC, remap, exhaust and you got yourself a cool bike… asleep a few suspension upgrades and you might take it to the track and learn a bit more track riding!
Even in stock form this bike is fun, when I get it opened up with a proper exhaust and tune it will be even more amazing. I've been chill on track riding because I'm too cheap to drop hundreds on a track day. I do want to ride a supermoto hybrid track (track + dirt combined) if I can find one.
@@CycleCruza do the 2wdw ecu flash once youve decided on the exhaust!
That Honda Repsol color scheme is my favorite of all time, use to dream of owning it when I was a kid. Sick
hello, welcome to the mt 07 club,.. you've had so many bikes and even better ones, but it's still clear that you have a lot of fun with a mt 07, and in fact it's true,.. the 07 is special,.light , agile ,..easy to master,.. more controllable, and even pulls very well to just over 70hp ,.., I have the 2020 model, and it still surprises me,..very nice to drive, a lot of fun , and as soon as you put the exhaust full,.. it's like having a new 07 kkkkkkkkkk, it's a big difference,..besides the sound, the engine also responds better, more reactive,.., in short, for more circuit urban,.. must be one of the best motorcycles in its category,..besides being also one of the most economical and very reliable,.. its simplicity is its trump card!
Hey man love the video. I picked up my 21 mt back in February.. Ended up putting 5000 miles on it this season.
As an owner of the R7, I can agree with you, the engine is superb!!...for the exhaust options maybe look at Arrow, Leo vince or maybe even Mivv, they all look and sound great!
Mivv GP PRO 👌
I got an Akropovic titanium road legal, and a re-map. Great improvement.
"Eleven months ago"! I missed this CycleCruza ENTERTAINMENT video! 👍
Congratulations on your new bike. I’m glad for you man. Enjoy 🏍🏍
I just bought a R7 60th anniversary edition this year. Sounds SOOOOOO good with the exhaust. Good choice man.
Glad to see you rippin' on the mt07 and having fun,
I'm agree 💯 % with you about this bike.
I'm having fun on mine more then on a litter bikes.
I have the 2018 MT07 and I agree with all your logic. Which is why I'm subscribed to your channel. Rational thoughts.
after riding my MT07 for almost 12k miles I decided to upgrade my chain and sprocket. I bought Vortex 520 kit 15 -45 and wow I think it's the second best upgrade next to the exhaust system. I can over take cars on highway doing 60 in 5th or 6th gear with ease
Nice! It does ok in 4th stock. I don't spend much time on the highway.
I'm glad you got an mt 07. I love mine. Looking forward to your content on this bike!
Thank you for the info just picked one up yesterday after going through your reviews.
Thanks for the video. Loving in Cleveland Area I get the roads. Going from a vtx1300 I'm looking at the mt09 and mt07. This video helps
I started with an MT-03. The MT-07 is my next bike. Waiting for one to come in to the local shops.
this was number 1 on my potential next bike list
with your stamp of approval i think ima go ahead and cement it into number 1
Damn!! It seems like you have been looking for a new motorcycle for years. You finally pulled the trigger. I want to see some wheelies with a woody.
Thank you for this video. It was really enlightening to me. I think I’ll go get myself a mt07
I bought this same bike for my wife, she loves it. To me it feels more like a cruiser than all the other MT's.
Congrats! Great bike! I’ve always like them! Maybe I will finally get one after I watch your journey with it!
Yo! I haven't watched your videos since I was looking for my first motorcycle back in 2017. Im back looking my first motorcycle. 😄 This is the video I needed today. Have a good day!
Nice to see you back! get the 21+ MT-07, however, good luck finding one as they are ALL sold out and you have to order one and even that was hard to do because so many people had orders too. lol
Congrats 🎉 I was really hoping you would get that middle weight Tuono but I understand with the experience you had with the last one 😅 I’m looking forward to some wheelies on the MT!
Aprilia 660 is beautiful but I don't trust Aprilia and didn't like them voiding a warranty so easily if you mod it.
I learnt to ride and passed my test in the UK on one of these. It was so much fun !!!
Congrats on the new bike! I just got an order in on an XSR 700 for the same reasons. I had an MT 10 and it was crazy quick up to 100, but I had no need to be going faster than that!
Awesome bike, the front end looks proper!! Way better then prev gen, have a blast bro!! The screen looks tight too!!
I agree, looks good factory. All it really needs is a pipe and tune along with a fender eliminator. Stock turn signals even look ok.
The wind blowing on you makes you feel alive! If you can't appreciate the outside elements. Maybe, motorcycles aren't for you. 💯
Many people say it’s the perfect bike, I’m beginning to believe that, so glad you like it!
You got me laughing hard when you were talking about the wind impersonating other people.
Your'e comparing and older version of the mt-09 to a brand new 2022 mt-07. I have the new 2021 mt-09, its doesnt even feel like the same bike as the 2019 model. Nor does it look the same. The new mt-09 is definitely not a beginner bike but is fucking awesome. The old bike was sloppy, fun and snatchy. The new mt-09 is tight, light, smooth and powerful.
The reason I got my 2015 750 is the fact that it is still analog no ABS, TCS, or anything. It has 3 modes for ECU power that's it.
I have the 2019 version with orange mags. Real torquey for a small bike and very light ... Perfect for city riding and I would recommended cranking the rear shock to the max for better sporty handling . The front suspension is too soft but it can be modded easy and the CP2 really roars with a pipe its vert surprising . I am really torn into upgrading to MT09 ... Only reason is the MT09 has the SP version and vetter highway power
Its a trick the mt-09 is a nice bike dont get me wrong or nothing, but as far as over all enjoyability of the machine as a whole. My vote says in the long run the mt-07 may indeed be the one that comes out on top. Just saying... I presently own a fully suspention moded 2018 MT-09 of which im very happy with but its not the radain of yester year that the mt-07 may in fact be! Like the stepchild of a parts bin bike the radian actually was for yamaha, sometimes ya find of the best things in the most unexpected places. 65-75 hp bike with a decent handfull of torque may just be one of the hidden magicail jems in disguise for that of the modern urban sprawl! Its just simply at home in that of the unavoidable enviornment of urban city streets! I'm often finding the home in which I can make the MT-09 behave like its at home and comfortable in its enviornment but I'd bet that an MT-07 on need hardly bother simply because it ever present and hard pressed to find on of most any other machine. Jm2c... take of it for what its worth to ya... Ride on...
R6 forks on an mt07 might just be the SP version! Lol... If I could have purchased an Mt07 off the showroom floor with R6 USD forks I would have purchased it a year prior to that of my purchase of the mt09 I have now. Just saying Yamaha is one strike away from a repeatable grand slam but they just have yet to realize of it!
Congrats on the new bike! I totally get it. Love lightweight bikes that are so much more fun & practical for the street. Enjoy & take care.
My favorite bike! I bought one 6 months ago. Beautiful fun bike CycleCruza will be happy, enjoy. To me it's the perfect bike for every rider, it's user friendly and forgiving at times for beginners. Best of all this bike is affordable brand new out the door.
i love the vids when u ride the most, the long ones when u just ride n talk smack, n stuff about, its aweome lol, when im too tired to ride i watch ur vids n project myself thru ur vids into my next ride lol
I almost bought this bike when i was looking for my 1st motorcycle.
Honestly its a bit much for a first bike for a new rider.
@@CycleCruza i got the ninja 650 instead & then duke after. I agree, it can be a bit too much for many new riders.
Cannot believe my boy got an MT07 want one so bad they seem to get hate but seein u on it I’ll buy one confidently
How could anyone hate on such a tried and true fun hooligan bike like the mt-07?
@@CycleCruza No idea bro!
You’re 100% right about liter bikes being largely pointless on the street. Like high-horsepower cars, they end up in the hands either of people who want bragging rights (fair enough) or idiots who don’t know how to drive/ride. I ride a Triumph Speed Triple 1050, which is a liter, but I fell in love with the looks, handling, and comfort of the bike. I’ve never been above 85mph on it and don’t plan to. Keep on, Cruza!
Those are the same reasons I bought my 2020 z900, looks amazing (to me anyway) and handles great. My dyna street bob makes 106hp/122tq so I THOUGHT I knew what a fast bike was until I gave the Z a half throttle roll on and reality hit what a "fast bike" actually feels like and it's kinda annoying only using 45-50% of what it can do.
I have 35k miles on my 2021 mt07… it’s reliable. I commute with it across Houston everyday on it! Only you mod you forgot to include was getting an r6 throttle tube for more fun lol
Watched you for YEARS, watched all your MT-07 stuff multiple times. Leaving an FZ6, been riding over 10 years, and I'm torn. Everyone loves the MT-07 but I can't stop thinking about the FZ1. Have you ridden the first or second gen FZ1? If I'm going to keep this bike for the next 10+ years, which would you rather have?
I bought an mto7 brand new in 21 ride with a passenger all the time and it doesn't miss a beat still super fast flickable even with a passenger you can ride it all day in comfort. Love that parallel twin
Nice! Thanks for sharing your experience. The MT-07 is an awesome bike, I love it.
I got the same reaction as you did test riding the 2017 FZ-07 almost 5.5 years ago. No buyer’s remorse here.
Picked mine up Saturday. Love it.
I found that the front suspension was so soft that it would nearly bottom out under hard braking. I added heavier oil and cut down the spacer and it really improved it. I weigh 210 so that might be different than what you see. I also live in West Virginia and the roads here are horrible. Best thing you can do for your phone is just leave it at the house. I'm not talking to you until I get home anyway.
Man, you made my day. I can feel the happiness.
I remember on your MT09, you were disappointed with the power output until you flashed the computer. I’m not too excited for all the electronic stuff either.
Just subscribed you are to funny and full of passion when it comes to bikes? Such good energy 🔥
I got my 21 MT07 late last year an I've put 12000 miles on it so far. I'm a new rider I got my license an got the bike a week or 2 later an as a noob rider I think it's a very cozy comfortable bike. definitely got enough power in my opinion sometimes I wish it was faster but I can't complain when I get on it it goes. once I get it tuned I'm sure it'll be more responsive
Love my 21 07!! Got the exhaust and tune. Such a great fun, around town bike
This guy make me want to buy mt07 2023 right now..but its not available yet at my country
Just got me a Tracer 7..what an engine that CP2 is..come from an R3 and the 700 DOHC gets a move on really smoothly..Enjoy from Sunny England..✌️
I rented a mt07 earlier this year then demo'd a stock one. The one i rented had a ixil exhaust and it was so loud but sounded so gooood. neighbors wont like you that much if you leave early in the morning but its worth it. The guy also did a suspension swap. it was full kitted out for track use. MT07 is worth the hype if you dont need or like stiff suspension. you buy the bike for the motor not for the suspension
Great too see a long video . Bike looks great
The on off feeling that you are talking about that we all hate so much it’s something that manufacturers do to work around emissions regulations and as soon as you tune your bike that goes away. But if you leave your bike factory stock the on/off switch throttle is just them working around emissions. but you can make Ride by wire as smooth as a physical cable throttle.
I got same MT07 as a my first begginer bike , riding it for 4 months already and loving it. I dont have much to compare with but I dont feel that I need something else for the moment .
Great video CC! I am glad you bought it and like it!! After those mods, It will be a stealthy beast for sure!
Tahnks! yeah I can't wait to mod it!
Super pleased you like it dude 😁. I'm loving mine and it makes me happy even just looking at it let alone riding it 🥰
Nice! It is such a cool bike and a bike that anybody can afford BUT very hard to get because they are so extremely popular. Stay safe!
Years ago, I went to a Yamaha demo days test-ride event. I rode a bunch of bikes that day.
My favorite was the MT-07. The one I hated the most was the R6.
Wow those mirrors are steady and clear. Even through the video it looks good 👍
I totally agree with everything what you said man. I traded months ago my mt09 for a 07
No regrets at all 👌
In UK & Europe we get the MT-07 Tracer as well, which is basically the same bike with a fairing and twin headlights. Just doing a deal on one now, as I think its better for all year round riding and bad weather conditions imo.
I knew you were going to love this bike. I have a feeling this will be a keeper for you!
Honestly, I did not think I would love it this much. I was shocked at how stout the bottom end grunt is on this bike and how great the bike feels.
Soft suspension bottoms out more easily on potholes and can play pogo stick in corners when the bike is leant over, so in general it's less safe. My suspension guy always asks his customers "do you want comfort or safety?"... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you never had a well setup bike, CC.
This bike has been fine on these bad roads so far but I'm only 170 lbs. I did have a custom set up suspension on my former WR250R. custom for me from a suspension shop it was nice and much better than stock WR250R suspension, that was really a pogo suspension. This suspension on this 22 MT-07 is adequate for me and has not been like a pogo, seemed worst on that 2020 MT-09 but that is a heavier bike and proportions are different.
I agree a softer suspension may be more comfortable especially if your not bottoming it out! That said it is undoubtabley a trade off against saftey one each needs to weigh for themselves, but a soft or unresponsive suspension comes at the cost of reaction time of a proper set up. I understand the desire for comfort on mostly cruddy roads but I'd rather have a prime suspension and ride the cruddy road really well, but thats just me... It's a viable compramise untill the day that maybe it wasn't. We are all out there dodging the cagers the best we can! So i say, set yourself up the best that you can and ride what you come up with to the best of your abilities and may we all see as many miles as we can see to put down! Ride on...
That cp2 PULLS from standstill
You are dang right! Truck like torque off the bottom is sick af. Honestly, I like it better than that MT-09 I had.
my friend has a MT07 and i sat on it im 6-4 with long legs and it was amazing when i sat on it and he has a akropovic full system and a tune and your right it sounds amazing
