Evening all
Been off a bike for maybe around 9yrs. Had a 2007 sv650 and 2005 R1 before I stopped riding. I really want another bike now and looking at the MT07, anyone got one who know much about them? Are they a decent bike? |

I know they're fast and loud! Haven't had one myself. I do know that they are up near the top of the shopping list for bike thieves, so depending where you live that's worth considering |

"I was riding it on my training and it was very enjoyable. Had SV650 as first big bike and in my opinion MT07 feels more comfortable."
Thanks, yeah I had the sv650 as my first big bike too. After being off a bike for a while don't really want to jump on something big to get back into the swing of things again. |

I recently done my test on a mt07 and i really enjoyed it seat wasn't well padded but apart from that I loved it I also might get one or the xsr700 as it's the same engine |

I have a Mt09sp
Been riding for nearly 40 yrs
Had so many bikes over the years
Got the mt and i gota say amazing bike
The mt07 is basically the same just smaller engine
Lots of fun to be had on these bikes
Handles so well
Go book a test ride
I would personally get the Mt09sp
You have 4 power modes so you can start slowly and work your way up the power bands

I think if you have had an R1 you may find the MT07 slightly underwhelming
The Triumph 765 has a lot more engine whilst still being a naked middleweight or the KTM 890
Doesn't take long to get back up yo speed after a break just take it steady until the miles build up again   |

Went to my local yamaha dealer yesterday, booked a test ride for a couple of weeks time. Got it for 2hrs as well. |

That's what I thought, but like I say it's been a while. Sat on a new R1 yesterday and hate to admit it I didn't feel comfortable on it. Now prefer the more upright position. Makes me feel sick saying that lmao |

Ruth here. I love my MT07! On my second one now, been to to Italy and the Pyrenees on it no bother! Read any road test. They all sing it’s praises. |

Thanks, I'm not after something to blast around on. I just wanted something good and maybe do a bit of euro riding. I need my licence for my job so definitely not interested in anything too quick. Thanks for you feedback. |

I'd try the Tracer 700 or 900. Much better for touring, if it must be a Yamaha. Suzuki GSX-S1000F also one worth looking at and Kawasaki Z1000F. |

I’ve gone from a 19 plate SV650 to a 22 XSR700 and I much prefer the sound of the SV650
The xsr sounds like a bag of spanners.
Feels a lot lighter and more nimble than the SV when you’re riding it though. |
