    I just bought a brand new 2016 mt-07!!!

    Is the windscreen mainly for looks, or is there really any function to them? What would be a good quality brand, but I don't like those tall ones. It takes away the aesthetics and beauty of the bike. Thank you.

    I just bought a brand new 2016 mt-07!!!

    So the engine will loose up at the first service with proper oil? Thank you. Here is a photo of the bike I took last night. When I got home, I spent about 1 hour cleaning and waxing the bike with carnauba wax. I wax pretty well everywhere except brake rotors and tires of course. I even waxed...

    I just bought a brand new 2016 mt-07!!!

    I found on my Kawasaki ER6F there were pros and cons with the fairing. Without exaggeration, one day I was going about 80 kilometers per hour, and suddenly a wicked crosswind hit the side of the fairing, and I almost lost control and went down. But on a day with little wind the fairing shines on...

    I just bought a brand new 2016 mt-07!!!

    My only concern was freeway running, but I don't think it will be a problem. I had a 1977 Yamaha RD 400, and it was fine on the freeway.

    I just bought a brand new 2016 mt-07!!!

    :D I put a deposit yesterday on a MT-07 2016 Matte Silver. I'm picking her up on Tuesday. I traded in my 2007 Kawasaki ER6F. It took me many months to decide to keep the ER6F or go for the MT-07? The ER6F was a great bike, the best I've ever had! But it's almost 10 years old now. I've never...

    Been out today.

    My 1977 RD 400 was good up to 100 mph for wind. It didn't go much faster than that anyway. For better suspension can you set the rear shock for your weight? Could you do a budget job and just put in different oil in the front shocks? I'll be honest. It's hard to let my 650R go. I've had it...

    Been out today.

    "and the 07 ran like a good un, never missed a beat , even 50 mph + side winds don't move it about unlike some much heavier bikes." I have a 2007 650R (ER6F) and one day a huge gust of wind hit me sideways, and I went into a speed wobble doing about 50 miles per hour and almost crashed. The...

    Now your MT is around 2 years old..how is she doing?

    What do you think of the MT-07 vs the Kawasaki ER6 quality wise? I iive in Canada, and I have a 2007 Kawasaki 650R (ER6F). I've had it for 9 years with no issues except fairing buzzing and rattling . I'm thinking of trading for the MT-07. I can get a white 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 for $800 dollars...

    Are parts expensive for the MT-07?

    Are parts expensive on the MT-07? Say the bike fell over? How much $ would it cost for the plastic piece on side on gas tank? I have a 2007 ER6F, and although OEM fairing pieces aren't cheap, they're still somewhat reasonable; and of course, there's all kinds of other parts on Ebay. I was...

    What other bikes do you own (have owned) and how do they compare to the MT ?

    I'm sort of like you comparing your SV 650 to the MT-07 because my ER6F is like your SV 650 and really nice on the freeway. They call it a 650R here. I don't know if I could give up my 650R because of the freeway aspect.

    Is the MT-07 really like a modern day RD 400 (1976-1978) or RD 350 (1980-82)?

    That's a gem, that's for sure. As I said, you would never find a mint one like yours here.

    Is the MT-07 really like a modern day RD 400 (1976-1978) or RD 350 (1980-82)?

    I would dearly love to have a Yamaha 350LC. Could you still use your 350LC as daily runners? I notice in England there's lots of mint RDs, 350LCs there. You never see them here where I live, just junkers really.

    I really like your bike in black with the blue rims.

    Is the MT-07 really like a modern day RD 400 (1976-1978) or RD 350 (1980-82)?

    :) I thought I would ask MT-07 owners if the MT-07 is really like a modern day RD 400 or RD 350? Being a 2007 ER-6F owner I think the MT-07 is the bike for me if it is like those bikes I described because I had a 1977 Yamaha RD 400, and that was and still is my favorite bike. I'm concerned...

    Waiting to pull the trigger on the FZ-07.

    To add insult to injury, the people on Kijiji low ball me like you wouldn't believe.

    Waiting to pull the trigger on the FZ-07.

    I don't think they are coming to Canada for 2016; they're weren't any on the Yamaha.ca site.

    Waiting to pull the trigger on the FZ-07.

    I'm waiting here in Canada to pull the trigger on a FZ-07 because winter will be here soon, and I can't sell my 2007 Kawasaki 650R now. Dealers offer me peanuts for my 650R in a trade; I find it very insulting because I put a lot of love into my bike, keeping it mint.:( Some offer $1,400 less...

    The bike looks sharp with the blue frame and rims. I've been thinking of buying the '16 Matte Silver, which is similar

    2016 Yamaha MT-07 Matte Silver or Raven Black?

    I'm coming close to trading my 2007 ER6F for a 2016 Yamaha MT-07. I like both colors. I just wondered what others thought of the colors? Thank you.

    Dyno video: 2015 yamaha fz-07

    I thought the MT-07 had 77 horsepower and 50 Ft. pounds of torque? Or are your figures at the rear wheel? Thanks.
