    Bike available in the UK: 31st July delivery, Competition White, ABS

    Thanks for all the comments, really glad that people are supportive because it was a big decision. I'm being very careful and being on the big Ducati seems to help me ride in a more grown up way somehow, which is positive. The MT is a little rascal that just begs to be ridden fast and loose...

    Bike available in the UK: 31st July delivery, Competition White, ABS

    Dear all, This weekend was a real surprise to me. I passed my UK mod 2 on Friday (much happiness) and rode my Yamaha dealer's MT-07 demo bike. I've had a Competition White ABS model on order since May, which is finally being delivered to Yamaha UK on 31st July. There is a lot that I loved...

    Passed my mod 2 yesterday :-)

    Ten days later than planned due to a little foot down incident during a nervous mod 1 U turn...I have my full motorcycle licence. I'm happy to say the least. The dealer I have my MT-07 on order with is lending me their demonstrator at lunchtime today. EXCITED!!!!! :-) Sent from my iPhone...

    Anyone reasonably close to London got the Arrow exhaust fitted?

    Ok cool, thank you. I'll check out your other threads. If I could fit it myself then that would save a few quid and help me get to know the bike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FZ-07 - Initial impression and comparisons (long post)

    Paulie - thank you so much for the epic write up. My brother has been riding for 25 years and said pretty much the same thing (although he has the FZ09 rather than 07) and he encouraged me to look at the 07 as my first bike. I can't wait for it to arrive - thanks for adding to my excitement!! :)

    Anyone reasonably close to London got the Arrow exhaust fitted?

    Probs a bit far but much appreciated. I was going to pull the trigger on it a couple of weeks ago but the thing that put me off was hearing the Akrapovic at my local Yamaha dealer. With the baffle out it was painfully loud but with it in I was a bit non-plussed by the sound. The various...

    Givi rack

    Nice work. I really wanted a set of Givi V35 panniers for my bike, so yesterday I ordered them and the side rack, as well as the top box rack you have because apparently the side rack requires the top box rack as you say. I find it a bit annoying that I have to have the top box rack sticking...

    Anyone reasonably close to London got the Arrow exhaust fitted?

    I'd really like to hear the Arrow exhaust before ordering it. Anyone relatively close to London got on fitted that they wouldn't mind letting me have a listen to in person?

    Removing painted plastic fuel tank cover

    Amazing! Is it as durable as vinyl film do you know?

    Removing painted plastic fuel tank cover

    Sure thing. My bike isn't due until end July and might be a few weeks before I get around to attempting the wrap, so don't hold your breath but I just ordered the vinyl, so it's on my hit list. Apols in advance but it's going to be crazy bright hi-viz yellow rather than Competition White...

    Removing painted plastic fuel tank cover

    I'm not sure what to call them but I'd like to know how to remove the plastic fuel tank cover because I'm thinning of wrapping it in a new colour. Any ideas on how to remove them and if so is it quick and easy?
