    Has anyone got bored of their MT07?

    Hi guys, I am currently on an L plate on a YBR125. I have my first DAS lesson next week, i'm excited but quite nervous to be honest as i have never ever rode a 600cc bike. I believe its a Suzuki Gladius 650? Anyway, I passed my CBT just before Xmas 2017, bought my 125 which i have had for 2 and...

    touring

    Have recently been on a tour of the Picos/Pyrenees and through Andorra riding down and back through France. I was concerned that it would be a pain riding down through France as we did a lot of motorway but I was amazed at how good the MT was all through the trip even fully loaded with topbox...

    MT-07 got the fun back into riding

    Hi! I guess introductions are quite boring, and this will be no different. A few days ago I bought a 2015 MT-07 with 4000 mi / 6600 km on the dial. It looks like brand new and is fitted with goodies like Arrows full system, DNA racing air filter, EJK tuner, R6 throttle, R&G rad and engine...

    Drove a BMW S1000RR yesterday

    Well, was that a completely different experience. It really made me see the strong and weak points of the MT-07. Ok, the comparison makes absolutely no sense as these are completely different bikes, but still it was an eye opening experience. First of all the seat height on the BMW is MUCH...

    riding around with an FZ-09

    this bike is so much fun, doesn't do bad against the fz09 either, I was actually surprised how well it will hang with it, the 09 is obviously faster but not huge until the higher end speeds... not sure why this site won't let me embed the vid?? Also how long do I have to do one of those spam...

    Carrying a security chain and pillion

    Hey, I need some advice on how I could carry a chain while riding with a pillion, I use a 13mm pragmasis chain (7kg) and usually carry it in a Kriega US10 tail pack when riding on my own but this doesn't work when i'm riding with pillion. I'm not going to be fitting a tail box/case and I also...

    Tyre wear.

    Hi fellow MT users, took a trip to the Bike show at Excel a while back and noticed that the MT07 on the Yamaha stand has Bridgestone tyres fitted. I've had my bike a year now and clocked up just over 6000 miles of mixed riding on the O/E Michelin Pilots which have proved amazing and are hardly...

    Headlight Safety - Motorway

    So I rode my bike last night n the M23. I found the headlight vision very poor indeed when riding in stretches with no motorway lighting. Didn't reach very far out and certainly had no illumination for any motorway signs. I had to slow down a bit as the cats eyes were not illuminating very...
