Thanks! Converted to some other currencies that is:Hi and30ers, welcome to the site.
59000 sek is about 8000 used correct? Did that include taxes?
Thanks! Stockholm will get only 6 bikes in 2014, split between two dealers. I have order #1 and first pick on color out of the 6 bikes that hopefully/eventually will arrive. Would like it to be Comp White, if not possible I will go for Race Red.Nice! What colour did you order?
Comp White looks good! That would be my choice too.Thanks! Stockholm will get only 6 bikes in 2014, split between two dealers. I have order #1 and first pick on color out of the 6 bikes that hopefully/eventually will arrive. Would like it to be Comp White, if not possible I will go for Race Red.
Mike, are you yourself interested in upgrading and/or adding the MT-07 to your existing SV650S?

Drove a friends SV last summer, was a fun ride. Fairing and clip-on's improve motorway riding, but for everything else I prefer the upright seating of the MT. It has the same 270 degree crank twin as my TDM 900, looking forward to similar grunt, feel and sound.Comp White looks good! That would be my choice too.
Yes I'm going to replace my old SV with something new and the MT-07 looks like a great bike to me. Upright seating-position, nice engine (with enough power, hopefully), light and agile. Just waiting for some reviews..

Hmm.. That's something I have to consider. I really would like to hear some opinions about the bike before making up my mind though. You really think they will be sold out?Drove a friends SV last summer, was a fun ride. Fairing and clip-on's improve motorway riding, but for everything else I prefer the upright seating of the MT.

Unfortunately, waiting for reviews will lead to no MT this year, you'll then have to wait to 2015. Think Yamaha will sell all MT's before close of MC Mässan in Göteborg, 10 days from now. So I booked my order unseen/untested.
The only alternative to MT-07 I was considering was the 2013 Street Triple ABS, also a great bike.
I talked to a guy at Yamaha Center here in Skellefteå and he told me that they would get 4 bikes, One in each colour. Price 60900 SEK. He didn't know when the bikes would arrive but more information would be available after MC Mässan in Gothenburg next weekend. So I think I will wait until then.I'm sure they will be sold out! Ask your local Yamaha Center how many MT-07's they have coming, and how many they sold already. Order early and you might be able to pick your favorite color.
The MT-07 has old school throttle wire, not the electronic MT-09 ride-by-wire with rider modes, and this is a good thing I think. I am sure the new twin will be a gem, better than the Kawa ER6 due to the 270 degree crank. Weight 182 kg is impressive. I hope and think the ABS system is modern with fast/smooth pulsation. Clocks looks ok with proper gear indicator, and larger than MT-09's dash. Looks good. Price is excellent. In my mind, not much that can go wrong.
My only hesitations on the MT-07 are: seat being on the harsh side, forks and shock being underdamped due to budget components. On the other hand, the bike isn't built for racing and I'm sure handling will be good enough for my riding skills/style.
If fuel consumption is ok, the 14 litre tank will be almost sufficient. My 900 cc TDM twin (2002 design) typically uses 4,5 to 4,9 l/100 km driving actively. Hope the MT-07 will use 3,8-4,2 l/100km, giving it a >300 km range.

Haha, yeah thanks! Well if it doesn't work out I'll have to find something else.. Hmm.. the guy at Yamaha Center told me that they had one MT-09 left in stock... orange...Good luck then Mike
