I know my 2023 MT-07 pure is lacking in tech and refinement but I absolutely love it, it's just so raw compared to the more modern and more expensive bikes. I am curious to ride the new one, probably feels like it has put on a suit and finally got a job 😂

Was riding on my dads versys 650 for about 8 months and i just bought a 2023 mt09 as my first personal bike and have loved it so far. Rain mode has kept it very tame and easy to ride, and the couple of times ive briefly popped it into street mode make fhe bike feel absurd and i love it. Yamaha knows how to make fun and light motorcycles

Great bike! When my nephew wanted to get a bike, I talked him out of a sport bike and into a MT07. I told him any idiot can whack open the throttle on a fast bike and go fast, but you will learn skill if you start out on a smaller bike. Eventually he moved up to a MT09.

Received mine 1 week ago, just waiting for my license to be able to ride and now I’m stuck watching YouTube videos about it 😂

The video you did with the 2017 red FZ07 with the full exhaust when the baffle fell out in the parking garage!!!! That video played a huge part in the fact that I bought my 2022 MT07 and threw a full system on it nearly immediately!

I traded my KTM Duke for a blue Yamaha mt07 and I’m happy. KTMs going under so that motivated me to jump ship and I saw these and had to have it. It’s a great bike!!

I used to be a manual only (car) guy then twenty years passed & I asked myself why can’t I allow this miracle of creation to shift for me. Now I love both. Cheers you sexy fool.

[RijderSchäfeir]

just bought one, your video was all i needed to see, these bikes have always been great

[dqitwithbrad]

Ive been waiting for this, Ill watch when I get home from college.

[untamablegirl]

thank you! as a past rider and lover of it. It's been a while and I have been eyeing this bike.

[TrialBiAutism]

I have the 24 MT-07, and the only thing I absolutely despise about it, is the ignition placement. I'm jealous that it was corrected on this model to be behind the bars closest to the rider, instead of in front.

I've been ridding for over 30 years and currently considering something smaller (CC) and lighter than my current bike. This is the second on my list, just behind the Triumph Trident 660. I never go on long road trips and both these bikes can easily handle all real-world needs/situations and provide the comfort/reliability important to me.

Love mine, I commute and use mine off road . Only had it a week, 300 miles done, it’s great, so light, so good . Ps, had teneres but too heavy for me off road, this little un is great

[Chris-ijtb]

I’ve been riding a lot in this area recently. Pretty interesting to see the videos on all the same roads. Ride safe yam

Just went and looked at a local one yesterday. A bit out of my budget but signed up for the membership so really hoping I win this one! Love the overview and great content!!

[DuoenoG]

This is a common bike they teach on prior to getting your motorcycle license in the UK. It's a beginner bike for sure, but it can still be enjoyable for intermediate riders.

[Soh]

Out of al the bikes I've owned, the MT-07 was by far the bike I regretted selling the most.

[RPDXC]

Nice bike, just don't know what yamaha was thinking about the color scheme on those wheels.

[brandonlee]

Just bought a 2019 mt07 in great shape for 4300. Seriously considering picking one of these up and giving the 2019 to my gf to learn on.

They do offer the quick-shifter as an option. I got it for mine and it works amazingly well.
