Hi their. I am a very short rider, I’m probably around 5 ft 3 and it was always my worry too that I couldn’t reach the floor on a big bike. I sat on the mt07 and could probably just tip toe. As a new rider (only passed my test in April 2018) I wanted to be 100% comfortable. I had the bike...
Hi guys, so i haven't passed my test yet, I have my MOD1 tomorrow (Monday 9th April).
I saw an MT07 on eBay, not far from me and i loved it straight away, it was one of the cheapest I'd seen, 2014 model, included 2 year warranty, 12,000 miles, tail tidy, crash bungs, little bits of red...
Well i don't have an MT07 yet, strange i know. I have my MOD1 (first UK test) in 4 days time, hoping to pass, then hoping to pass my bike test in a couple weeks or so. My ideal bike at the mo is the MT07, and i intend many mods including the akra exhaust, so i was just getting some help in...
I totally understand that. As it happens I did go on the 125 a couple days later and enjoyed it, must have been having a bad day �� For some reason I like been in traffic. I can practice on my slow speed that way, I do filter sometimes but if it’s a little tight....I ain’t that...
I will give that a go mate thanks. When I went to sit on the mt07 they did have a different colour that wasn’t on their website, and I did like it. It was the blue and black colour, race blue I think? Was a stunning bike but I think I do prefer the tech black out of all of them. I would most...
Hello Nobull thanks for your reply. That's very helpful, I suppose it says a lot when you've got an R1 in the garage but you can't wait to get on the MT07 lol. I went to a dealer yesterday to sit on one and have a feel of it. I was on my tiptoes but he has said they can lower it 25mm for me...
Hi Donut thanks for your reply. As I'm only a short rider, 5 foot 3 on a good day and everage build, 10 Stone, do you think I'd struggle with the weight of the bike? I know it's hard for anyone else to judge how someone else would deal with the bike, but I have heard it is quite light and...
Hi guys, I am currently on an L plate on a YBR125. I have my first DAS lesson next week, i'm excited but quite nervous to be honest as i have never ever rode a 600cc bike. I believe its a Suzuki Gladius 650? Anyway, I passed my CBT just before Xmas 2017, bought my 125 which i have had for 2 and...
Fair play mate. I’m guessing their very reliable too then. Seen one for £5295, 4000 miles, has a tail tidy and black widow exhaust too which i would plan on doing In the future so that would save me a bit of cash. Hopefully it’s still available when I come to pass my test. I’m feeling too...
Great that’s a nice piece of mind. Its such a struggle with my height for everything. Although I’m used to it now as I’m 31, since I got into motorbikes it’s been very frustrating, sitting on lovely bikes and not been comfy on them due to not touching the floor comfortably. It’s nice to know...
Hi banjo thanks for your reply. When coming to stops, traffic lights etc are you ok? And reversing back etc? I would obviously sit on one before I put some money into one but I’m trying to assess all my options. I loved the mt03 when I sat on it, it felt perfect for me seat height wise and...
Hi guys, newbie here thanks for accepting me.
I am currently on my learners licence here in the UK but hoping to pass my full test in the next couple months. I went to view an MT03 today as I love the look of them, their lightweight, low seat height and would be perfect for me. I’m 5 foot 3 on...
