A pretty good read, some info on the fairly new Yamaha:
Rise Up Your Darkness With Yamaha's New MT-07 (http://www.detailingnation.com/content.php?1585-Rise-Up-Your-Darkness-With-Yamaha-s-New-MT-07)
:)

looks really sexy
-
Still unsure about its face but in general seems quite a smart bike
I wonder how they are comparing this with the MT-09 - different engine, power and price, but still...

its hard not to immediately draw comparisons between the two bikes, isnt it? I think the price alone will set the two apart. the MT-07 seems very keenly priced to me.

and………….the fact that it has one less cylinder.

was looking at one at the show yesterday and i know its alot of bike for the money but to me it looks and feels like a cheap bike.

Is Yamaha maybe feeling a bit threatened by some of the new Chinese bikes? Remembering, of course, that we're just one of their markets...

That's the whole point, it is a cheap bike - commuter/first big bike!

still would like a go in one just to see what the craic is (same with the MT-09, not had a blat on one of those either yet)

I agree, its an interesting bike and their marketing is aimed squarely at teens to early 20's which I think is perfect considering it appeals to me a lot... unfortunately, teens and early 20's often don't have £5-6k :|
I wouldn't ever consider buying one (not now at least, maybe in a decade or two if its cheap and there isn't a better option haha) but I would like to try them out - perhaps the MT-09 over the MT-07 as its a bit more unique (the engine mostly)
-
It also sits well with the new A2 license requirements. Cheap commuter/first bike that comes in at 74bhp means it can easily be restricted, as well as not being so expensive it breaks the bank.
-
The stats on paper still are not as good as a fazer MK1 or 2 for me and is that bloke masive because he makes it look like a 125.
Some one has got to come up with somthing good to prise my fazer from my tightly clenched fists (and buttocks ! )
The only other bike I have thought about is a speed or street tripple but for how much extra it will cost me and for how often I get to ride it not worth it.
They made the fazer far too good.
-
It's not a Fazer killer in my opinion and a stats sheet only tells half the story. Would need to actually ride the bike for a fair amount to be able to arrive at a fair, but personal, assessment.
I have no interest in replacing my Fazer, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to have a go ;)
-
Thing is my local dealer wants a £500 bond to pay his excess if I bin it
-
Yeah, that's what I was going to mention in a previous post as its one of the things that stops me - especially this time of year
Granted I haven't checked the Terms & Conditions of any local dealers to me, but I imagine they are all the same. I've never actually had to ever deal with a dealer... all my purchases have been private
-
Thing is with £500 hanging over my head I aint gonna give it a proper ride
-
I totally agree, especially when there is no real consideration of buying the bike so its not like I have any money lying around should something go wrong...
-
I would be much happier (if I was serious about buying on ) if I had to pay a £20 non refundable insurance to cover their £500 that is refunded IF i buy one.
-
I think of a first new big bike the MT-07 would be fantastic. MCN even praised it highly in their rag last week. If I had to get a bike for a commuter I'd consider it.
I wouldn't be suprised if that £500 deposit was to put people off why just want a go on it to see what its like without any intention of buying the bike. Most people have a excess on their own insurance, for a newer rider it would be at least £500 to keep the premium down. They dont provide free demos for people to get their kicks do they?

So that's a NON refundable fee that IS refunded :lol

Its a goddam twin FFS
-
I think the bike looks great but the parallel twin puts me off a bit as it's my least favorite configuration apart from a single :(
-
A positive write up in this month's Bike too.
