Saw em at motorcycle live. Thought they looked okay but didn't pay too much attention as don't think I would buy one.

Re: Yammie MT-07
Got a test ride booked for saturday at Padgetts
Jacko - i've got a knackered shoulder from an accident years ago, some days it's ok and some i can hardly move it (shoulder was shattered in a RTA).
Riding the STR was ok as no weight was put on it but last week on the RR i felt the strain, not too bad on a short run but painful after a few hours riding - thought it'd be ok but not too sure?
If the MT isn't that cracky i'll put up with the pain on the RR for this summer

Ha i see, i think there's better out there than the yam, if your not comfy on it that's not good.

I was thinking the MT-07 as for £5200 i can get a brand new 1, looking at similar bikes for £5k i'll be getting a 2 year old where the warranty has run out
Been offered £3800 - £4000 for the CBR which is what i paid so i haven't lost out - just wondering how much the MT would be worth after a year

Re: Yammie MT-07
Looks like a proper budget built bike to me, standard forks this day and age, still think there's a lot better for that money at a year or two years old, don't forget thing don't break these days...
Re: Yammie MT-07
Well the write ups seem to praise it saying it'll pop the wheel in 2nd with just a slight bit of gas so it sounds fun.
The 2 main problems are
1. not available in black? would be best colour i think
2. the dash clocks look weird - too digital
I'll have a look/ ride on sat if the weathers ok - can't be bothered if it's peeing it down

Re: Yammie MT-07
Have a look at MT09 first though. Both bikes built down to a price and you can tell. Only 74bhp on the MT-07, don't know if I could live with that for only bike.
£5k would get you a very decent Aprilia Tuono, and as Dorsoduro rider with a big grin I can recommend this bike also.

Re: Yammie MT-07
One of the main critisisms of the MT-09 has been the basic suspension, suspect it will be the same with the MT-07 once the full tests are in. Not dissing the bikes totally but for £5k there are some brilliant bikes you can buy.JACKO71 wrote:Looks like a proper budget built bike to me, standard forks this day and age, still think there's a lot better for that money at a year or two years old, don't forget thing don't break these days...

Re: Yammie MT-07
Well had a call today from a dealer and RR is now sold - didn't expect that so quick? it's being picked up tommorow so a replacement is needed in the next few weeks before the good weather starts.
I'll be looking at other nakeds as well as the MT - should have kept the Triumph
