Use CIA insurance. Had received quote to renew insurance on XJ6 which involved change of actual insurer. Mentioned that MT07 arrival was imminent. Person on phone said that in that case changing insurer would not be beneficial as insurance cost would jump by about £80.00 extra a year on MT07. I...

59. Started riding on my 16th birthday. You know when you are becoming a more mature motorcyclist when you look at the seat height measurement rather than the power output first!

I bought MT07 BAD for £250.00 in November and have had it on my bike since March. Regarding the rise in some of the prices I only noticed because MT07 RED that I thought about at the time was also £250.00 now it's £699.00.

Snap to that. :D

The only comment I would make Scoobie is if you get the documentation for the plate before the dealer registers it you have paid the £80.00 registration fee. Working from memory on the part of the cost element. Anyway it does mean that the dealer doesn't have to pay it. Enough to pay for his...

I mentioned in an earlier thread that I bought my plate in November last year when I ordered the bike. I chose MT07 BAD. Considered MT07 RED but thought It would look a bit odd if some reason my dealer couldn't get a red one. As it happens I have had a red one since March. One observation I do...

Zero vested interest. The Yamaha dealer I use in Faversham Kent is advertising an unregistered grey abs MT07 in stock. Not too sure about posting this on a forum.

Sympathise with your MT03 stalling problems problems. As I have already said in my riding history my one stalling threw me off and broke my toe. I do make a 180 turn onto a dirt track to get to the rear of my house. Never stalled my virago, Harley or XJ6 making the same turn. Haven't had it...

Have no record of the date I ordered mine as so friendly with dealer that I didn't pay a deposit. Including my wife's bikes it was about my 20th bike from them. My word is my bond! I would say that I have a confirmation order for Nov 7th for the personalised plate MT07 prefix so I must have...

Started riding in 1970. First bike a Panther 250 2 stroke with clip ons that hit the fuel tank. 16th birthday L plates and ride. Then get ready for school. Next a Kawasaki 175 Bushwacker 2 stroke. Not a UK official import. Bought it off a guy who bought it with him when he moved from Australia...

Good call to change them. Came from a 2009 XJ6 myself.

Relatively old to motorcycling (43 years continuously). Not offering a solution just agreeing with you. Only done about a 100 miles on mine and seem to have been fiddling with them far more than on other bikes. The mirror head looks the business for it's design regarding shape. Appears to be a...
