MT07 red abs. ordered 24/4 collected on 30/4 from Yamaha dealer in Agen, Lot et Garonne. It replaces a 1994 XT600E. My shortlist included a Bonnie, Guzzi Classic, possibly the SV650 and this MT-03.
It seems to me that Yamaha are being the most creative of the bike manufacturers. Some of their bikes are following trends, models they must have to be in the market but quite a lot are innovative. Lumpy great things like the BT1100 Bulldog and the Super Tenere, then little whizzers like the YZF250 and MT07.... and the 660 singles still plod on.
What next? My guess is that we will see an MT04, 400cc for Japan, essentially the same bike as the MT07. Then something like the Tiger 800.
