This is the reason we watch & subscribe to Warro. Good genuine bike review with no BS. Can't stand the 'reviews' from a test ride & a plug for their local dealer. An ADV version of the MT03 would definately give Kawasaki & their Versys 300-X a run for their money.

i think in 017 i bought the versys x300 and its probably near the same power output as this. but a very hard seat on that bike. i did a review clip and the seat was that hard i just cut a square out and put in some gel and cover back on. i certainly got some crap talk for doing that butcher job on a new bike but it worked out . bike only cost $7k and i had bought in that yellow mgf for $25k in black-rubbed it back and sprayed it yellow...lol i dont care there only steel and bolts! yeah i like to keep it honest with the reviews and name the faults. some buy and regardless of issues never call it as they see it. i dont care if there no good...out they go...lol pretty impressed with this unit.runs very nice. got that klx150 for the dirt so im covered there. all the best!

Nice review. I appreciate your honesty. The good and bad. Ive had this bike on my radar for commuting to work and maybe rides in the mountains. Looks like a nice little bike for that. Best wishes to you.

Good choice!

Ive owned a 2021 and put 2700 miles on it. I love it, super smooth, very fast once broken in. Definitely a break in period for the breaks and engine, rather suddenly the bike became substantially better. Im really having a difficult time to trade up for a new bigger bike and I am not sure I ever will, sometimes I am tempted but im just so satisfied with this for my riding.

great bike i think now if it wasn't i'd been giving it a good hard workout along those back roads and getting ready to move it on. close look at the clip shows i am around that run-in rev limit of 6000 so i must think its alright. mentioned this in part 2 but i did notice the clutch pull is pretty big compared to my other rides. impressions so far i think one could ride a mt-03 for quite some distance plus its pretty light and easy to move about too

I think when engines are this small, they could do with being singles. Just my taste. A single I'd quite like is a Kawasaki KLX 300SM. The trouble is, despite them being manufactured in Thailand, they are not available here. You've bought some new bikes, mate. Makes you worth listening to. The MT sounds like it's got a nice, tractable motor. No throttle snatch: a rarity now. I prefer a flat seat. Again, my taste. Back in Portugal, I have the granddaddy of the MT family: the 1670cc MT-01. Excellent, informative video.

i bet when its full run-in and the rev limit increases to 12.000 or near that ...it's a fun bike to ride. i thought the xmax 300 scooter i biught 2 months back was pretty good but 28hp against 41 is a no contest. i think i will go for a tail tidy but apart from that i don't require any other mods. catchya later!

Thanks for that excellent review of the MT-03. You certainly covered a lot of bases. I suspect that most of your minor disappointments were the result of needing to build the bike to a low price. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised that a lot of the money went into the engine, rather than the chassis. But it does seem like a good value. A 6K run-in rpm getting you to 100 kph is a useful speed. I sure wish Yamaha and other manufacturers would do something about those long stop light and rear license plate holders. Why can't they just make them shorter? BTW, you sure were getting passed by the traffic on the highway. lol Looking forward to part 2 of your review.

@@ridewithwarro Good! But around here even when they get their driver's license taken away, many people continue to drive. Sometimes even when they go to court to be fined for speeding - if they even bother to show up. Over the weekend a group of young people blocked off access to the SF Bay Bridge and spent 20 minutes spinning donuts in their cars while several hundred people stood around on the bridge watching them do it. The CHP was stuck in traffic and by the time they got to the scene, the "side show" was over and the spectators were all gone. It is getting crazy around here.

They all vibrate noticeably in some parts of the rev range right? I just keep my machines in the sweet spot and enjoy. CB500x is really good 60 mph and below...sucks on the interstate but makes up for it by being a very relaxed jewel of a bike for back-road travel. Thanks for the video!

number one would be my halcyon grey enfield 350. i really like that bike although i was a bit hard on it during those dirt road rides. thankfully no damage during the sessions so all good there. on the dirt i like the little klx150 as i tried several dirt bikes and it was nice and easy to ride in tight spaces and very light in the weight. xmax 300 was the pick of the scooters i had ..well the pick out of 6. there may be better but probably at a better price too. this mt-03 joins them as it appears to be very well made and has the power to run at 100 kph pretty easy. i think i'd have to put the 650 interceptor as my number 5. i had 2 of those and they were silky smooth in the motor nice to ride and very hard to beat for the value content.
