As a consequence of some recent threads discussing the negatives of the MT-07 (don't get me wrong they are very valid discussions e.g. rust) I thought we should redress the balance and remember what we love about this bike.
So name the first thing about the MT-07 that made you smile/giggle/laugh either at the showroom, test ride or after purchase.
For me it was on the test ride. Having established that this bike was fun to ride I suddenly noticed that ECO symbol on the display coming on sometimes. Guessing what it meant, it felt to me as if the bike was saying "you're having fun but just imagine how much more fun you'd have if you try and keep that ECO off". I responded by twisting the throttle and laughing out loud. In my mind it's as if the display has a FUN symbol that comes on when ECO goes off (it really would if I'd designed the display).
So there you go, it 'spoke' to me that day and I knew immediately I'd love this bike (warts and all).
