1000 miles up!
Just passed the magic number today on ride out to Bikefest 2015 @ RAF Cosford which is a fundraiser for the Midland Air Ambulance Service.
Rode from my local Yamaha dealer with 130 + other bikes. My mate Jason who sold me the MT-07 was riding his Tracer with his young son...
The Horn Button
Have previously owned 5 Yamahas & never had a problem until now. I cant reach the button without moving my hand from its natural riding position. A very poor design change for no good reason that I can think of. Not impressed!
Corrosion is always going to be an issue in the UK with our damp cold winters & the really nasty sticky molasses/salt mix scattered on the roads.
All bikes are built to a price point but the best treatment is regular washing, proper drying and use of ACF 50 (except obviously on brakes/tyres)...
Have been keeping an eye on this forum since buying my Mt-07 at beginning of March.
Guess I would be classed as an "old timer" having ridden bikes since 1965.
Have currently got a Yamaha Fazer FZS 600 (2003) and this new little beauty. It is the competition white colour & is standard at present...
