I still love my MT07 but Christ the build quality is poor.
I tried to operate the seat lock today and it was seized solid.
I had to soak it in WD40 for half an hour just to get the key in, and even then it took another 10 minutes of wiggling to get it to turn.
Add that to the rusted disc bobbins, corroded fasteners/suspension linkages and furry rear sprocket... And I'm pretty good with cleaning and maintenance.
God knows what neglected ones will be like after a few years.
