Just PM'd you

Just PM'd you

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...

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...

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...

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

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!! :)

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...

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...

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?

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

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...

Perfect - thank you very much!!

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?

Perfect! I had already ordered after your first pic but this one is much clearer. Sorry to be a total newbie but what is the cloth thing wrapped around the pillion? I have no vested interest in Maxxis, actually I don't know anything about bikes (ordered an MT-07 and am now working through my...

Thanks very much indeed - the US30 looks like it fits nicely lengthwise - i'll get that. I'm planning to do the Maxxis Diamond Challenge that I just read about in Ride but starting from London as my first touring experience. I'm EXCITED!! :) Thanks again.

I was at West London Yamaha on Saturday and they have an MT-07 with the Akra system on it, which doesn't have the baffle fitted. They very kindly took the bike outside to demo the exhaust to me. Seriously, it took a few hours for my ears to stop hurting it was just so ridiculously loud. I'm...

Love your bike! It's exactly what I want mine to look like. LED sidelight = dipped beam? Please can you provide the names/manufacturers of the LED sidelight, HID conversion, mirror extenders, short levers and tail tidy?

Still waiting for my MT-07 but on Wednesday I went out with my friend (me on a rented YBR125) and him on a CBR1000RR with an aftermarket can. The traffic was really bad at one point, so he started to teach me how to filter slowly. With his pretty loud exhaust a quick blip of the throttle would...
