For someone planning on keeping this motorcycle for awhile, I find the fact that valve clearance inspections, from a maintenance point of view, are only required ever 26,000 miles or 42,000 kilometers. That's a big plus!
You’re right, it is good. One downside though, when valves do eventually need adjustment it will be more expensive because cams have to come out to replace under bucket shims.
Just had the rear fender eliminator kit done and it makes it look much better! Not that it looked bad as i get more compliments than any other bike I've ever had! Even more than my old ZX-12 Ninja!✌
This is a great bike for recreational riders like myself and most people who ride bikes. I love my 2021 MT07. I've own an 09 Street Triple and this reminds me of that bike with more comfort.
I'm an avowed Kawboy, but I'm SO glad that there are lots of fun & cool bikes out there from all the manufacturers for us to choose from. It's a good time to be a rider. Now we just need to get more people riding to take advantage of all these amazing machines.
Great vid. Absolutely love mine. Me being only 70 kg the power to weight is more than enuff. Twisty roads are a real hoot too. You can fling it around with ease and it doesn't disappoint. The ignition key position and inaccuracy of the fuel gauge are the only detractions I have. Overall a great bike.
Nice first big bike. In the UK, you can’t just rock up without any motorcycle experience and get one of these. I did a couple of thousand miles on a 125cc and then passed my full test on a hired MT07. I thought the progression was a good one from 125, and I’ll certainly consider buying it as a first big bike. Good review.
Richard Collins - the MT-07 is the only big bike you'll ever need. I've been riding super sport bikes for most of the past 22 years. I sold my Yamaha R1 in 2016 and purchased an FZ-07 in 2017. Most reviewers (and most of my friends) would say that's a huge step down. In terms of performance, absolutely! However, in terms of fun, hell no! The MT-07 is cheaper on gas. Insurance is cheaper. It's extremely comfortable. Oil changes are easy to do. And I get lots of compliments on the bike. I have the gray one with hi-viz wheels. You can save yourself a lot of money buying and riding an MT-07 long-term.
timsmotorcyclediary thanks for the advice 😊👍. At the recent bike show in London I sat on the naked Suzuki GSX-S750, I liked that a lot as well. Little bit more expensive than the MT07 though and bit more power.
Hi Adam, just got turned on to your channel. I like the detailed reviews. I would like to see what you ride for your daily, talk about upgrades you’ve done. Also since it seems out of your comfort zone but I find interesting I’d like to see more Harley reviews. Anyways keep up the good work!!
I hope your channel grows fast enough for you to keep doing reviews. I really enjoy your reviews, but was a little nervous when you went on your own because I want you to be able to keep doing it. CZcams can be fickle
I have the MT03 as my fourth bike in 3.5 years and love it. I ride in Thailand and will get the MT07 after I move north in a couple years. I must comment that I think it is un-responsible to recommend this as a first bike. WAY too much bike for a beginner! I am 54yrs, 5'10" and 154 lbs. I started riding 3.5 yrs ago. I've ridden bicycles and can still wheelie and used to do stupid things like jumping ramps and such. What I'm saying is get a little 125-150 dirt bike and play around on that first for god's sake! Good luck and look every way you can!
Because the STR/RS is a high strung peaky engine without the same strong grunt of the Yamaha. The Triumph ergonomics will fold me up too much and suspension is already going to be too harsh. Because the Yamaha SP version isn't sold in the USA, unfortunately (not for the -09 or -10).
Love the MT-07, nice to see some updates. My 2015 FZ-07 was good but I replaced the suspension completely. Versys 650 next? Maybe as a best of used bikes episode? Or what makes it unique in its three generations?
Excellent job on your videos. I really like the looks and the performance of the MT07. You said you felt a little cramped on the bike at 6 ft tall. I'm 6 ft tall also and have sat on an mt09 and I felt good on it. My local dealer doesnt have a mt 07 right now. Is there a noticeable difference in leg room between the 2 bikes? If the mt07 is much more cramped, I'll just get the MT09 instead.
I would love to see some off road perhaps... Dual Sport comparison's ... the New Beta's vs KTM and hopefully one day Yamaha or Honda steps up and produces a dual sport that weighs under 300 pounds !!!
I had a ZX-6 Ninja and i loved it but honestly my 2019 MT-07 is a much more fun bike and definitely a better daily commute bike as you sit more straight up and the compliments are never ending!
Adam I love the video review but I wanted to get your opinion on what bike you would recommend for a beginner I am torn between this and the ninja 400, I wanna have versatility but fun that maybe I can keep for 2 years at least.
Love your review, but it would be nice for you to include how tall you are. There are tons of videos criticizing the FZ07 for being too cramped, but that's not really fair to state. Tall people have many liter bikes made for taller people to choose from. I never hear people complaining that liter bikes are too big? Why do manufacturers make liter bikes for giants who are basketball height people? Sounds absurd, right? Otherwise, I dig your review :-)
Sv650 is a bit more refined, but the Mt engine is more playful. Wheelies are better on the Mt. Suspension is squishy on both and brakes. It comes down to refinement vs fun whichever fits your needs more.
as an old school rider I wish you wouldn't wheelie and play on a bike so much as there are bucket loads of vids on tube with nubes splitting lanes like crazy in heavy traffic and tossing wheelies down the suburban streets ... If we want people to respect riders we need to respect other road users and respect road rules ...
I don't know why it takes Yamaha years to figure out damping. It literally costs nothing to make the damping right, you don't use more expensive parts, you just DEVELOP THE BIKE PROPERLY. Yamaha can pound sand, I am not interested in bikes they take years to make properly, when for a few K more I can buy a Ducati that has been designed well the first time.
You're always delivering the best reviews. Thanks Adam!
Glad you like 'em, Tom. Thanks for watching.
Adam Waheed always been a fan of your reviews for many years

Great 3-part series!
I’d personally like to see the new Husqvarna 401 and 701 bikes covered. 😁
Thanks man.
Great 3 part review 😎😎😎😎😎
Glad you liked it.
@@AdamWaheed just wondering what bike you prefer between 2018 mt 07 and mt 09

You have no idea how much i love your videos and reviews.

Love the review, hope to see more
nice that adam tells you the good and the bad , top review
Love to see a coverage of the 959 corse
Great series of videos! No one in the US does video interviews. That might be something to think about in the future. Keep it up!
Great idea!

Big fan of ur work, keep up the good job! Would like to see more cruiser videos, like comparisons of M109R & other muscle cruisers

Awesome review. Can’t believe you’re popping wheelies on a really wet road surface 😂
Thanks man.

Yamaha is becoming the japanese motorcycle maker
Thanks, great video. How bout one on 2019 MT-09? 😀

Maybe an MT07 vs Suzuki SV650? 🤷🏻♂️
I’m torn between the 2 🤦🏻♂️
I can see popping a set of Ohlins NIX-22 cartridges in the forks and S46DR1 on this bike and voila. A corner carving monster.
Lifted_Above If you’re willing to spend that much on suspension upgrades why not buy a 765 Street Triple R or an MT-09 SP in the first place?
Because the STR/RS is a high strung peaky engine without the same strong grunt of the Yamaha. The Triumph ergonomics will fold me up too much and suspension is already going to be too harsh. Because the Yamaha SP version isn't sold in the USA, unfortunately (not for the -09 or -10).

This dude is a one of a kind human I Feel haha
Getting mine soon!! :)
Great review Adam. Question for you, would you prefer this bike over the ninja 650 as a daily commuter?
I had a ZX-6 Ninja and i loved it but honestly my 2019 MT-07 is a much more fun bike and definitely a better daily commute bike as you sit more straight up and the compliments are never ending!
Good job , any competitor u can review then,
go adam!
Great Review Adam... would it be worth investing in a new one... or investing in an older model and upgrading the suspension... ??
Good question. Normally I'd say buy old but in this case I prefer the look of this new one so I would try and grab one.
Given a choice between a 650f and the mt 07 where would you lean toward
What kind of windscreen is that at 3.14? I like it a lot
Which bike has a better suspension than this on bumpy surfaces? I am 6 feet too. Is there a better option or alternative option for my size?
Can't wait :)
You getting one?
Yes sir. Just waiting for them to come out in the states. The wait is terrible
Hi Adam i would like to see you review a r1
Okay will be doing one soon here.
...but i fell inlove with xsr700 now..
Adam I love the video review but I wanted to get your opinion on what bike you would recommend for a beginner I am torn between this and the ninja 400, I wanna have versatility but fun that maybe I can keep for 2 years at least.
Either or is good. Ninja more sporty, MT is less...
Adam Waheed thanks man!
Another Outstanding Review! Looks like the Camera Vehicle gave you a good douche! LMAO! Keep them coming.
Mt07 or kawasaki 400 first time rider us but i ride in Philippines
Nice review. I gonna buy nigh fluo... Thanks

FunnyFatRat he literally says he's 6ft in this video....
FunnyFatRat Dude, watch the video...
how about a test on a Guzzi grizo
What's up Phillip. That bad boy is discontinued.
phillip wallace Why would he test an old bike?
How does it compare to the sv650 and z650?
Sv650 is a bit more refined, but the Mt engine is more playful. Wheelies are better on the Mt. Suspension is squishy on both and brakes. It comes down to refinement vs fun whichever fits your needs more.
How was the throttle sensitivity?
It is near perfect.
What about this vs Ninja 400 Adam?
No comparison. Both are great bikes in totally different classes
Nice review series. Well done and count me in as a subscriber>
