Nice to see an MT07 thats clearly used. I bought mine in April for all weather riding. I absolutely love this bike and dont mind the lack of gadgets (quick shifter/slipper clutch). Its raw and you have to ride it yourself. Youre spot on about the mess getting on the back of the engine. As mine is a commuter i have heated grips (game changer), but do want hand guards.

There were some nice dedicated hand guards on eBay a while back with the logo on them for not much money. Thanks for your comment.

Hi Ben, you forgot to mention why you hate the exhaust. I have the 2022 XSR700 in historic white and I’m looking for a new exhaust system for mine, and the Akro was on my list. Why don’t you like it ?

Hi I was going to do a separate video about it but I don't think it's that well made for one. I've had to buy yet another baffle (at £60) because the last one broke up & I've also picked up a dent in one of the downpipes which wasn't there when I bought it. Also the bolt for the baffle is in the wrong place, I understand why they've done it it's to stop people removing the baffle but when people are paying over a thousand pounds for an exhaust it's very arrogant of Akrapovic to think they can dictate what people can & can't do with their exhaust. XSR700 eh? Lovely bike. Good luck with it & thanks for your comment.

@@BenTV73 good grief, I’m gobsmacked 😶. Never would I have though that Akrapovic at such an expensive price would be like that. Thank you for the insight, my other top option was the Leovinci exhaust from the Italian manufacturer. One needs to do more homework and insight into aftermarket exhaust’s, cause they ain’t cheap. Many thanks, Dave

@@Amos1965 Hi my recommendation would be a Termignoni. there's an ad on eBay for a titanium full system for £549 from Italy. Whilst more known for Ducati exhausts Termignoni have been going for donkeys years so won't be poor quality & half the price of acrapovic.

I got the 2023 shit basic asf

It is a basic bike compared to some of its rivals but personally I think that's part of its charm.
