    She has just had her 1st "UK" MOT today

    Mine sailed through except that the number plate was deemed illegal. A small cost for new one.

    Tracer

    That does look good. Looks like the traditional Yam blue. Just speedblocks missing, really. Let us know how you get on with it please.

    Front Forks

    Good for you Kiddo (No.2). I am not far behind you. Enjoy it soon and I'll be out there too. (Off topic, but with intent...)

    Standard Comfy or Bespoke Seat Modification MT-07 2015

    I have extra neoprene foam on mine with more foam for the 'sit' bones. I covered it with neoprene sheet. It is inelegant but works a treat. No aches even riding for over 2 hours.

    Average age MT 07 owner

    My natural age is 19 - a good age for biking. I have made 57 yrs more than that without, so far, any real sign of maturity.

    Bye-Bye MT07

    Just in case of relevance, Ducati are raising their prices by an ave. of 4.8% next year. Others will follow.

    Hi Everyone

    Welcome, Morseman. Hope you continue to enjoy the MT. Winter mostly keeps mine in the garage.

    07 Tracer

    Pity you won't even need to polish it while it sits there gleaming and waiting. Looks great in red.

    Most Euro 4 bikes seem to have more power/torque rather than less.

    Post a picture of your MT-07

    It looks lovely. Yellow suits it well. The blacking out is a great improvement. Enjoy it.

    One of those 09s with the new front lights perhaps? Linger on and you could tell us about it. Good luck with the new bike.

    Buy 2016 MT07, wait till next year to see if update on MT 07 or buy 2017 MT09?

    Very sorry you had a knock. At least no injury. Hope you wont give up on thinking about having a bike. I have had so much fun and I returned to biking after a 50 year break nearly 10 years ago.

    Well done, and good luck with the Tracer. Any pics yet?

    Buy 2016 MT07, wait till next year to see if update on MT 07 or buy 2017 MT09?

    I understand that the MT-07 for 2017 just has new additional colours. There has been a patent filed for LED front lights so if that really is coming it would be in 2018, I guess (09-type maybe?). I have not tried the 09 but the 07 suits this old geezer well - plenty of immediate torque and...

    Rear Tyre size - what Yamaha says

    I did not expect much from Customer Services, of course. The best one could hope for would be an admission that an alternative would be satisfatory (I have insurers in mind). While I am still in cloud cuckooland, I have directed a response elsewhere in Yamaha - more in hope than anticipation.

    Rear Tyre size - what Yamaha says

    As I am seriously considering fitting a 170/60 rear tyre, I thought I would email Yamaha on the subject. Here is what they replied: "Thank you for your email, in relation to your Yamaha MT-07. We can advise, that we can only recommend the tyres sizes as stated in your Owner’s Manual, which...

    The Bunny Hop Suspension

    http://www.motorcycle-talk.net/forum/mt-07-fz-07-general-discussion/1646-little-help-tyre.html?highlight=tyre Someone on here (above) has fitted a 170 tyre instead of the 180. He reported improvements.

    Something to check as our bikes reach 2 years old and beyond.

    I think that is good advice. Manufacturers seem to be unwilling to squeeze in as much grease there as we think is required. I shall ask for it next service.
