I'm being very careful having never run in a new bike before, or indeed scrubbed new tyres.


The run-in procedure is torture, bumbling about at 55-60mph for the first few hundred miles isn't great.
I found the new tyres on the Striple to be downright dangerous, I'm talking two wheel drifts at 20mph in the wet bad.

Once that 500 miles is done, different beast altogether Smile

I really like the look of the MT07, the writeups are glowing and all for £5200. Brilliant. They are going to fly out the showrooms and wouldn't be surprised if Yamaha will put the price up.

Congrats on your new ride!
