This video was recorded, March 23rd. On the 24th I'll be riding allllllll day long on it trying to get that 600 miles so I can get the first service done and out of the way so I can rip on it!! I'll post up some pics and what not on my Instagram from today's journey and how many miles I put on it, etc. That's also the fastest way to get ahold of me, DM-ing me on Instagram :) instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

why did you get an mt 07 as your new track bike and not a full faired bike ? surely a sport bike would be a better track weapon (like an r6)because the ergos are more in-line with a race bike? ( just curious)

I love your style man! Within the first few minutes I knew you were a very sensible rider. You had a 300 track bike. Now a MT-07. You rode it in the parking lot to get comfy. Great review from the viewpoint of someone that just got one. Been enjoying the rest of your videos. They’re up,there with FortNine in terms of info shared. Can’t wait to see you build up the MT for track use. I’d bet some suspension mods would totally change this bike.

Welcome to the Mt family!! You've made a great choice!! Mto7 and the MTO 9 as far as I'm concerned are some of the greatest all around bikes made. Another great thing about making that a track bike is you won't have to tape off any of your lights it's all LED and it makes for great pictures out on the track.

I started following you months ago because of the advice and MotoJitsu drills. However, I do also really enjoy these types of videos (and the track ones as well). Keep up the great work :)

Congratulations on the new bike! I just bought my MT-03 about 6 months ago and watching your videos have helped me and even saved me from a few close calls! Keep producing the amazing content!

VERY HAPPY for you Greg... We can hear your excitement in your voice.. ZERO miles is a great thing for sure. And break in won't take you long. Fantastic bike Greg CONGRATS my friend!!

I have a '21 MT-07, and I still like to watch people ride theirs and review them. Fun bike, lots of fun and sexy AF. So far I got DPM windscreen, axle and frame sliders, dana air filter, full Akro carbon exhaust with the DB killer out sounds like a monster (must have). Congrats on the bike.

I would have looked a lot harder at the MT-09 Way better suspension cast aluminum frame and a lot more power.. I also would have looked at the Indian FTR-1200 100 pounds heavier but very stable very good lean angle.. The MT-07 does have a some one limited lean angle do to the low ground clearance.. The FTR- really beats the Yamaha there. but I test road the model with 19" tires not with the 17" tires that have now excepting the rally Model .. I would prefer the 19" tires myself for the dirt road capability because I want to ride to Alaska ..

Fantastic choice. Easy to wring the neck, forgiving, great low end torque spread, usable power for the track and overall a great bike for the track and road.

Congrats, brother. Great bike. I love Yamaha - even though I have just sold my R3 and bought a Transalp 700, which was my big trail dream - I would have liked very much to keep my R3, but alas, I can't maintain two bikes at the moment.

just found your channel great info from the few videos I've seen. I just picked up a 22 MT07 on March 25TH first bike ever and its been a blast to ride great beginner bike and I feel the bike as a ton left in it for me to grow and start pushing it in time as I get more comfortable riding

I brought home my brand new 2021 MT07 the same day you uploaded this! I've ridden a Benelli 135cc 3k miles last year to get started and I'm beyond thrilled to upgrade. Unfortunately the daytime temp in Indiana has been in the 40's so only have 1 mile on it but I can't wait for this summer. Congrats!

Im picking up my new 2021 MT07 tomorrow afternoon! I got the Blue/black one.

I’ve had my 2021 MT-07 for 6mo. It’s my first bike. Loving every minute. Take the advanced MSF course next month. I have an akropovic titanium exhaust and it’s a boot burner. Better off with the carbon or something similar.

Nice bike dude! I got a 2021 MT03 September last year. It's my first bike. Your channel has been instrumental in my development as a rider. I'm thinking about making my MT03 my track bike once I get my next street bike. Looking forward to watching you develop with your MT!

I have watched a lot of your videos, I even have a document with over two pages of “how to ride” because I bought my first street bike after riding off-road for ages. I watched this Thursday night, funny, I was picking my bike from the dealership on Friday, and mine also had with 0mph (it made me smile remembering how lucky we both were)! Best wishes from Spain!

Great bike! One thing comes to mind tho.. why not the more 'track oriented' version of this and go for the R7?

The stock O2 sensor and ecu isn’t capable of making that kind of wide adjustment on its own. It operates within narrow parameters. When airflow is changed that dramatically manual adjustments to the air/fuel ratio and other tuning needs to be done. I’m not going to sit here and debate with you, but you literally don’t know what you’re talking about and need to get better informed before making outlandish claims. Check out videos from Moore Mafia he’s a very knowledgeable modern motorcycle tuner. Or are you going to tell him his entire business is a lie?

@@mindspinn311 I did not negate that ecu flashing has an inherit performance gain, I actually stated it did, I have a Yamaha R7 with a full system R77 and it for sure runs lean.

I’m very familiar with Moore Mafia and he does great work but telling people they must do a tune following an exhaust is just incorrect information and pushes people away from getting one. Now with a high performance air filter added to the mix we have something to discuss but just because Euro5 sucks and the bike might run lean for emissions does not mean an O2 sensor is fully capable of adjusting to a safe air to fuel ratio.

Great bike. I’ve had my MT07 for about a year and love it more everyday. That CP2 is a blast. Was even scheduled to go to Champ school next month too! Unfortunately a hand injury delayed it until their June dates.

Congrats with the new bike! I had an 07 from 2014 before my current bike (also an MT). It's a very nice bike indeed - especially when you put on an aftermarket exhaust. 😎

I have a 2017 FZ07 and absolutely love it! Added adjustable rear sets, clip ons, exhaust and tune. Next is full suspension and brakes.

Congrats. Nice bike, nice color. Really like the naked approach. Funnest bikes for me have been the nakeds, and easiest to live with. No fairings to replace or remove. Handlebars maybe even a bit higher. Nothing in your sight line. Nothing to make you feel cramped in a tuck since you’re not racing. Looking forward to some track footage. Enjoy!

Congratulations on your new bike. I also have a MT-07. My top recommended mod is to change the throttle tube to a Yamaha R6 throttle tube and change the grips. The throttle tube made the bike easier to ride fast, mostly comfort and response. Also get R6 grips the genuine R6 tube has the grip on itso just get the other grip for the other side the best $40 ever spent. Another great mod is the Yamaha comfort seat. The 1st hour on the bike you will not notice the difference but do 4 hours and the comfort seat is amazing. Well worth the cash. Hope this helps and enjoy.

Love it! Bought the same bike in February and just crossed 1,000 miles freezing my arse off on the East Coast been riding every chance I get in the 30-40 degree range. I did the opposite of what you did in that I went down from a Ninja 900 to the MT-07 because a friend loaned me his 2021 and I fell in love. Not to knock the Ninja, but the playfulness, the handling, and the torque makes it such a fun bike to play on in the Mountains. Tail of the dragon trip weekend before last was a far better run than any on the 9 because the bike will hang on the hairpins and exit out with such a burst with the light weight, too much fun! Looking forward to watching you progress on this bike, and so far as the haters on the looks, they are in the eye of the beholder and like you, I love the look of the front end, but to each their own. Thanks for the vid, gratz on the new ride, and as always, keep the rubber side down!

That’s awesome man! I got a 2016 fz07 for my first bike a couple months ago and have done some substantial mods to it performance and appearance-wise. Can’t wait to see how you transform it and ride it professionally

Yes! Perfect!! I have a z650 and really wanted to find you tracking something similar. So different to a ninja 400...or is it... Would love exact split-screen comparisons between a sport bike and the mt07 around corners and circuits.

Grats! - I came back to Motorcycling after a 30year "break"; From Enduro Riding in the late 80´s to Adventure Bike Riding now on a Brand new Moto Guzzi V85TT.... and Lovin´it!

Most content creators on youtube when they make videos on getting a new moto the first thing they talk about its taking stickers out, changing exhaust, mirrors, tires, pimp my ride stuff etc. You went straight to figuring out the new cluch and breaks instead. MotoJitsu indeed, love your channel

I started riding a year ago with the 21 mt07. It is amazing. You will love it!

Man that new bike feeling 😁, nothing like it. I got my 21 Panigale V4 with 1 mile on it, broke it in at Indie Motorsports park - literally one of the best experiences of my life. Yamaha makes some awesome bikes and this one has peaked my interest. I rode a neighbors MT-07 and loved it. Good choice for the track. Congrats Dude!

Recently bought this as my first bike, I am in my 60s age wise so have much to learn. Thank you for your enthusiasm!

Congrats! I love my 20 MT-07 for all the same reasons you like yours. What I really like about it: A pure unadulterated moto experience with almost supermotoish ergo's, and a beefy midrange torque band.

Hopefully, in a few months I’ll have my license. Only done 400 miles on my 125 as a learner. Been watching ur vids for help. ´ push left go left / right go right has totally changed my riding so thanks . I’m either going to buy this MT07 or the Kawasaki z650 . I’m torn between the two and unfortunately I won’t be able to-test ride on a new licence ..

Congrats! I have the 2021 version, just picked it up brand new from the dealer last week. I went for a Givi crash cage for protection

I picked mine up at the dealer last week. I go in and didn't see any on the sales floor, so I asked my guy if he had one. Turns out I got mine right out of the crate. Super excited to break the engine in and have fun. I know that feeling, and safe ride!

The MT07 is a gem of a bike. Almost like the new SV650 in that it can do a lot, and you can modify it to do pretty much whatever you want.

Nice. I was looking at the MT-07 for a while but opted for the Ninja 400. Still learning and also not really into "accidentally" doing wheelies! I think I'd like the extra power now though.

Congratulations on the new bike man. I wanted one of these so bad but it was taking 6 months to get in after order and was way too over priced so I settled on a used 2018 MT09.

Congrats MJ, cool bike! This bike makes me ask, "Why would anyone need more than 650 CCs?" CP2 motor just gives and gives ...and gives. Good call on suspension. Guys dropping a grand on a crappy-vich pipe and keep dangerous stock suspension. Come around a fast bend on canyon with uneven road surface will make even you 'Yelp'...it's crap(ovich)! Love the display on 2022 model, and the controls for it. Yamaha just needs to move the horn (I honk every third time I indicate to turn, and vice versa). Overall great bike.
