Had my bike since 21st April 2018, picked it up the day i passed my test. I absolutely love this bike, it's perfect for beginners as long as your steady with the throttle as it has so much torque (after coming from a YBR125 it does anyway). I've done a few mods since some of the pics. Black widow exhaust, givi windscreen, heated grips, new bar ends, LED arrow indicators, MT07 radiator guard

To your 09? bad, it's a very linear predictable delivery not very exciting if you're used to livelier bikes, it'll feel alot like your old ER, although it is a better first bike IMO, looks cooler and sounds better would recommend all day as a first big bike. Thumbs Up

I like the MT range, ergonomically kind for the larger rider and the 10 goes like a bastard.

The black widow is an awesome exhaust bud. I was very lucky and found one on the mt07 forum for £100. It makes the bike a beast

FTFY. Mine fucking won't, it will sound like satan impatiently banging on the gates of hell with an iron hammer. Probably. Shifty

Unfortunately the MT-07 is built to a budget and it shows when servicing.A number of people that I know have them and when it came to investigating a noise from the suspensuion we found little or no grease in the suspension pivots and the headrace bearings.While the forks were out we drained the watery fork oil and flushed with some cheap fork oil before installing some better quality oil.

The spark plugs are a pig to get to and we are not looking forward to checking the valve clearances as there is not much room to move under the tank.

The Haynes manual is a worthwhile investment Thumbs Up Wink

Seriously it does.

Yamaha have made absolutely no progress in the naked litre section in the last 20 years.

The MT-10 SP is only a few tenths faster around a track than the Street Triple, and that was Rutter riding it around Donny, where power should be an advantage, so if there was an advantage to the 10 [SP at that] he would have found it.

It's short, and based on a sportsbike originally designed to be ridden with clip ons, so it has compromised geometry and wheelies a lot. Do not confuse this with being quick.

Here's a couple of dyno graphs for comparison:

MT-10 -

FZ1 -

https://i.postimg.cc/c457D3ZC/Yamaha-FZ1-graph.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/wM1M37r4/unnamed.gif

FZ1000s -

Can't find a stock dyno graph, but trust me it makes just as much power as both bikes above, even on carbs.

I get pissed off with the MT-10 being punted about as 'good', it's middling-average mediocrity at best.

PS, the MT-07 is really good fun, once you've spent 1500 quid on the suspension, just like the MT-09.
