2022 Yamaha MT-07 One Week Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

My review of the 2022 Yamaha MT-07. Look, I know this video is way too long and 99% of the three people that watch this won't make it to the end, but sometimes these videos feel like I'm having a conversation with friends, and they just turn out long.

    Man, I love this bike. It’s my first, bought it last October, and I haven’t stopped smiling. Irish winter weather has been so much fun! Only weather I haven’t ridden in is ice, but then, that’s me being an older rider with a sensible head. It is a fast bike. It’s a very capable bike too, enjoy!

    I have the same exact bike. Absolutely love the Cyan storm paint. The MT-07 is a bike that's easy to ride, engine is overflowing with character and can get genuinely fast if you WOT in the first 3 gears "if the front wheel stays down" most people that have negative things to say or think it's a beginners bike are comparing it to bikes double the price. The suspension is a little bouncy but you have to understand it's not trying to be a track prepped race bike, it's a simple road bike that just makes you enjoy motorcycling!

The dealers in my area (with taxes and fees) are quoting $10,179 out the door. Base price is $8200. I heard the dealers are not very negotiable on the MT07 is because they sell like hot cakes.

    I just picked up a 2022 MT07 for about $6500 (including $500 of accessories, urban pack). I was lucky to find it as the dealer was selling it with 307 miles on it, first service done, almost $1000 off because it was "last years model". In reality they said the only difference between the '22 and '23 bikes is that the '23 has bluetooth connectivity on the dash. But aesthetically and mechanically they're the same.

    It’s really hard for me to get out of my head the need for the top end speed. I want a quick and nimble daily commuter and the 07 looks perfect. But the urge to upgrade to the 09 is there even though I don’t want or need a more sporty bike. I want to have a good time riding and it sounds like the 07 is it.

    There’s no better commuter out there in terms of being quick and nimble. The MT-07 is always my first choice for commuting to work and back. Except in the winter time, when I usually ride my V-Strom 1000 due to the heated grips and tall windscreen.

    Tough question, but I would say the MT-07. The seat height on the MT is more accommodating than the KLR, which is pretty tall. Just don’t snatch that throttle on the MT-07 as a new rider, it’s a little rocket ship.

    Would yall recommend this bike for 70% freeway usage/30% street? Mostly would be a commuter bike to work, and random trips to the twisty’s. Freeway speeds would generally be 80-85MPH for 30-40 min each way to and from work. Was thinking maybe a MT-09 might be a bit better, due to mostly freeway usage?
