I'm 5'8" so it's nice having a review from someone who isn't six feet or more. Ty

Bought the 2021 model a month ago. It was hard as hell to get up here in the New York tri-state area due to the supply chain issues going on. A good part of my decision to finally pull the trigger on this model was your video review. Thanks for all the great reviews and honest opinions. I've had over 20 bikes in the past 30 years and this is one of the most fun bikes I've ever owned.

Back on bikes after a 30 year break....really enjoying your channel Mark. Super reviews! Thanks & Cheers

This is a fabulous review. Most other reviewers insist on showing that they can lift the front wheel into the air. This review was real-world stuff (at least, MY real world). Thank you.

As much as I love the look of a Ducati I think Japanese bikes are well ahead in refinement and reliability than the rest of the world.

Great video buddy. Never thought to look at the MT07 but what a stunning and a well priced machine.

Really enjoyed your review mark 👍, great little bike and I love the colour and the styling. Great sound 👌 from the exhaust too. Cheers Mark and ride safe 👍.

Great review Mark, has made me go ahead and buy one!! Can’t wait until the end of the month to pick it up!!😀same colour as you reviewed, think out of the 3 colours this look the best! Carry on with the reviews mate!!👍🏻🏍

Great review channel Mark, armchair motorcyclist here, always enjoy coming along virtually for a spin cheers 👍nice looking bike well put together.

Thanks for the review Mark, I was waiting for this.

Great bike, I've in the past had a BMW 1100GS then went down to a GSX250R, and then last Thursday I traded it in for one of these, and WOW what a bike very very impressive. Love it to bits. :)

Thanks mate for the great video. After 30 years back on wheels again. Had planned purchasing a Trident 660, but this week signed a new MT-07. After looking this video decided the icon blue is my Color. Thanks again!

Never mind the bikes - you've nailed the review format. Keep em coming sir.

Really great review mark helped me decide to get my mto7 2022 blue as my first bike and I love it I’ve put a few extras on tail tidy,rear and front bobbins ,radiator guard, engine protection and it’s beautiful

Just bought one of these in Cyan Storm for when I pass my test (hopefully in the next month or so), can't wait to pick it up! Great review as always Mark 😀

Top job, Mark, the best and most insightful review of this bike. 👍

I absolutely LOVE this engine, my 2021 Tenere has convinced me this is one of the Greatest engines ever stuffed into a motorcycle frame! I’ve been riding for over 50 years and have ridden everything and this engine is THE SHIT!

I planned to get a cbr650r because it looks really good in my opinion and the 4 inline sounds absolutely great but hearing the rumble from an MT 07 with an Akrapovic titanium exhaust is truly something else.

Saving up for a bike, and tossing options around.. Originally I was dead set on an SV650, then I opened up to the idea of a Z650 (the new Z650RS looks FANTASTIC!!) but also the Interceptor650 which looks like a lot of bike for less cash. I've come round to the MT-07 lately; that engine is a peach! Still unsure what I'll do and/or what will happen, but those are the bikes and engines I'm focused around. Watching a lot of your vids, Mark!

Enjoyed the review looks a great bike for the money I'm tempted.

Another good review Mr Pulling 👌👍

Mark, Great review video as always. This seems like a great bike, but do you think it's comfortable/suitable (leg room) for larger riders 6 foot & 200 lbs? Or you recommend a larger bike with more power?

Thanks for review 👍 you one off the best ...l hope mt09 next or tuono 660

My first street bike was a 1976 xs 750. It was a triple with a Jardine header. Wow, how things have changed.

I sat on one of these yesterday and thought it super comfortable, a much better riding position that the 300 model

Thanks for the review! Have you done the Tenere 700? I would be very interested to see your view on the T7 that has the same CP2 engine. You also have my same height and inseam which would give great insight for me to purchase, or not. The T7 is not yet available here.

My first "Brand New" bike was an MT 07 back when they first came out. Instantly impressive and with a class leading engine. Probably still so, though the cross plane crank now seems to be fitted to just about every twin (absolutely not a complaint). They were/are cheap too but built down to a price with suspect paintwork causing bikes to go rusty very quickly. Main gripe though was (and perhaps still is) the suspension if pushed hard, (and with an engine like that, I suspect it's going to be pushed hard). Maybe a bit long in the tooth now, especially compared to the new kid on the block Triumph Trident so not entirely convinced that a new headlight and air scoops are enough. Personally I think they should have spent the money on the front forks instead so that you could fully exploit that superb engine. Popping wheelies is great but not making it round corners, not so good. Took me a minute to work out where you were but when you pulled up on the Cranborne Rd I sussed it as my friend used to live in one of the cottages opposite the junction. Can't honestly say I recognised every road though. Glad to see you didn't attempt the green lane next to Heavy Horse though. Good work, as usual, keep em' coming.

What a great review, and such a good bike. Would Crescent let you have it for a while? I would love to see a longer term review from you. Stay safe and have fun.

I've wanted a MT-07 a few years now.....paid both of my houses off a few months ago..... so i went Friday April 15th 2022 & put a 500.xx deposit down on a new 2022......i just LOVE the Dark Blue ps. the dealer said it MIGHT be in by July or August....

Mark Great Review as always, back to bikes after a 30year gap, my son just bought a 125cc and I have got the bug again. Don't know what to go for out of the MT07, Z650, Ninja 650 or the CBR650R All your reviews were good.

I love the matching blue Alloys

Love this bike, colour looks great, fab review, I'm having myself one... Self treat sorted... 😁

Great review again Mark, how wide are the bars exactly and would you have the 09 over the 07 for everyday riding

Awesome review MP, nice bike. My sister has one and loves it!

Another great review from you, and I think it looks stunning. It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on how this compares to the new Triumph Trident.

Another great review! What do you think is more fun, this or the Honda cbr500r?

Good review Mark. My friend is looking to buy 2021 mt09. U goin to do a review 😁👍

Thanks for the review, this helps me pull the trigger on a deposit!

Good review I have owned a MT07 great little bike for the money.

Great review as always 👍

hi Mark loved the video will you be doing a review on the MT 07 Tracer any time soon. Regards Des

Just order my new MT-07 2022 grey and cyan, can’t wait for July when I go get it

Excellent review, I have the 2020 model, the 21model looks even better.

yet again another brill vid mark.

Love these MT07’s, I’m 6’4 so I look like a complete ape on it though. I think they sound epic with a full exhaust system.

Hi Mark great review. What do you think is the best between the Mt07 cb650 and z650? Cheers

Well I did go ahead and buy this bike. Same color. I love it. It is perfect for me.

Glad that you gave 5 stars to that motorcycle. I've ordered mine last week and I'm looking forward to receiving it 😊😊

So glad to hear him say the suspension was set on the firm side now. Main complaint with the last gen was the spongy fork. I hate that.

Hi. Nice review 💪 What do you think about new Yamaha MT-07 tracer from 2020 Year or from 2021 Tracer 7? Didn't you test it?

Another great review, What are your camera setting Marks, look very nice

Great review! What do You think about the suspension, any improvement?

Thanks for the review i already planned on getting one for a first bike. But i never realized the stock exhaust is louder than i thought. Doesnt sound bad i figured itd be unbearable until id get an akrapovic. Hoping to get one in all black

Love it!!! So simple and direct. Perfect for any occasion. I own 2015 with 82 bhp and 53lb torque with Ohlins in the back Ktech up front. City street SLAYER. Out of 20 bikes i have owned this one just chassied so rite for me. Mark as always great review. Kenosha Wis

I had a -16 mode. Did 20 000km that season. Bulletproof engine. Surfaces are not that protected. Easy to scratch. (Which were the case on the Honda CB650R I had aswell.) One thing that annoyed me was all the cuts when washing and cleaning the bike. There are pointy bits all over the bike! I gave it the DNA airfilter and a Mivv full system. Nice!

Mark, not sure if you'll see this as it is a bit of an older video, but I haven't been on a bike for 7 years or so. Before then I wasn't extremely comfortable either, as I didn't get much riding time in. I cannot decide if I should start simple with MT 03, or if I should just get the MT 07. What are your thoughts on the situation? Many thank yous.

Thank you for your review. I ride a 2007 Kawasaki 650R Ninja. I've been thinking of trading for a 2021 Yamaha MT-07. Where I live I cannot get a test ride however and I'm leery of making the trade because of that. The 650R has been a great bike and really shines on the highway.

Does it really project the mt logo on the road though? Ive been looking at getting another bike for a month and i liked the look of the mt1000 but i like the pricetag of these..ill have one a month from now unless i find something better 👍

Test rode one a few years ago. I must be one of the few people who was underwhelmed. I just didn't 'get it'. Found it pretty small too and I'm only 5 ft 10. Didn't like how close and down the display is either.

Brilliant video! I love you.

Thank you Mark! Good to see you.

Why O why does it not have a usable pillion seat and foot rests?

So far so good. I have the storm fluo version. Rode it for a little over 100 miles.

Great review, would you worry about the key being out of site for theft etc

I really like the futuristic look

This bike just sounds so nice, wish kawasaki takes some ideas on yamaha's musical rockets haha!

Very good review. Thank you!

Hi mark - great videos. Really very informative. Question for you. I’ve just passed my DAS and have shortlisted the following obvious candidates: Trident, CB650r, mt07, SV650. Also thrown in a ballsy wildcard - Tuono! What would you go for? And why? Thanks a million

Been riding MotoX and mopeds all my life, and previous bike was a -08 CBR600RR. A bit too much for street use so this MT07 might be just right for my next one!

Another great review. How would you compare it to KTM Duke 690? Regards

It seems a brilliant bike but I think that the Tracer 700, although a bit more expensive, is a better buy because it offers a bit more practicality while still being very light with equally good performance. Would be interested in your opinion. Very good review as usual. Thanks.

Yes, this was a good road test. I liked the inclusion of revs and speed combination.

Looks great,just a nice size.Very nice

At highway/thruway/turnpike speeds, for 100 miles or so, what is it's comfort level (vibration, wrist/back/butt pain)? Many thanks for a great vid!

Mark do you know if you will be reviewing the Yamaha Tracer 7 2021?

Thanks again Mark. Great review. Which handles better in the country the MT07 or Kawasaki 650? Which is best?

Hello British. Talk more about the new pilot position and the new wider bars? Is it more likely motard attack position or mt09? Thanks Brazil

Great 👍 review i had 2018 model absolute 5 star engine . But anyone over 15 stone the suspension is woeful .

Wanted a monster 659 Lams. Was Looking at the Harley 500 and triumph 660 when A MT-07 rode past with the akrap open exhaust, I followed it and bought it today. 2020 demo model as I loved the colour scheme and the sound 😱 magnificent.

I'm looking forward for mine to be delivered in the grey/red combo :)

Many thanks Indeed. I'm considering trading a Suzuki Bandit 1250 against one in the next couple of weeks. Would love to know what Yamaha optional extras are essential. Does the bike come with indicators as standard another question. Great video and many thanks for any reply.

Bike looks lovely in that color!

2021 mt07 sounds kinda better than previous years

Between this one and the Kawasaki z650 which one would you chose if you had to personally buy one ?

Looks a cracking no nonsense bike. Like the colour scheme and styling except the front and headlight.

Hi Mark thanks for your reply I had Yamaha bikes back in the seventies and family came along and car became my transport, but in 2019 my circumstances changed so i bought a bike 1975 Rd 200 concurs condition matching numbers. I decided it was too good to ride so I bought myself a Benelli Leoncino 500 naked bike but I was thinking of changing to the Yamaha MT 07 Tracer what do you think. I love the Benelli very light and nimble Regards Des

Hi mr mark , i read and heard the older generation mt07 had a issue with its front fork suspension , do you feel they have improved on it with the 2021 update

Great review! I'm 184 cm / 80 kg would it be a god fit for me you think? As a beginner, which bike between the 07 and 09 would be the best choice you think?

I loved the video but I cant get over the VHS educational programme intro style

Nice bike, good to have for my next upgrade from mt25.

Great review. Bought one

Hi Mark . We’ve spoke before . Hope you well , just about to take my DAS training very soon . I’ve been keenly interested in the CB650 cafe Nero or a very newish CB650F . Now I’ve just come across this MT07 and it’s looks good . I’m at 5´5 tall or short ! Do you think the Yamaha would fit? .. all bikes I’ve mentioned are very very similar and noticed the Yamaha is slightly cheaper , any thoughts for a middle aged new to be rider ,,, a test ride might not be given and I’d also not know fully what I was looking for . Any tips ?’

Interesting video Mark. Are you testing the MT09 next ? 😉

Used to own one,felt really cheap.the "tank" was really squeaky,bought my first Triumph after that and never looked back,it is worth the premium price.And what is Yamaha thinking with those headlights?!

Great review Mark. :)

Done my test on this fantastic bike

Hey Mark.,i am juist 50 now and started back riding 1 Year ago with the Bmw g310r Now I want to upgrade and I doubt between T’his Mt07 or a street triple s not A2 restricted. I Wanna keep this bike for a long time what is your opinion ?Almost the same price here, yamaha cost a little bit less. But than you put Some after market Products on it and than it cost almost the same . Greetings From belgium Erik

Great review!

Planning to purchase my second bike.. having a bit of a dilemma between kawasaki z650/z650rs or the yamaha xsr700/mt07..

i just git mt 07 2015 and i love it
