Best bike I ever have. Very light, fast enough and the price is good. There is couple of issues with most special on the water pipes which getting very faded, however this may be changed under warranty as if bad paint.
I fave load of fun on this bike, I'm not beginner, I'm riding now for about 20 years. I do not need bigger bike as this one if fast. I'm not racer.

This is an awesome motorcycle. No fancy gizmos, just pure riding pleasure. The riding position is great, has decent power, superb handling, good economy and its value for money - what else can you ask for? Well, maybe a better suspension would make it really perfect! The stock exhaust is OK, but I have an Akrapovic fitted!

Got the LAM's version so my wife can ride this aswell as she presently has restricted Licence. What a ride, lovely machine and one you could easily ride all day with NO sore bum afterwards. Value for money for sure, great sound and a pleasure to own. 3.9 laters per 100 k's, a great commuter and fun bike in one !

In the world of Motorcycles, as in Cars, complexity of the machine is a direction that we all seem powerless to avoid. I test rode the MT07 because I love simplicity, I don't want to change forks or shocks....Pipes maybe...but that's it!
This bike impressed me beyond my expectations, it has such a managable torque curve and is super smooth, plus it handles well. It was like a good movie, lingering with me long after the ride.
I am after the HO version as I have my open license.
I want a bike long term, that's fun, fast, easy to ride and above all....simple, this is the one for me.
Take it for a ride and prepare to be blown away.

Engine stalling after first service, rough idling and roughly reving throughout the rev range - first service the same day - Yamaha have been pretty good so far (touch wood) I would not feel comfortable riding this bike - Yamaha is collecting tomorrow to take to service garage. Mt07 2015 abs purchased in October

I have just completed 1000 kms and had the first service done on my 689cc full power version. Almost everything is perfect apart from the appalling rear shock which is way underdamped, especially in rebound and the archaic rod-holder front forks which are far too harsh over square-edged bumps - i.e. just about every road in SEQ. Great engine, reasonably slick gearbox, good brakes, excellent handling on smooth roads, nimble, light and fast enough for anybody but a speed freak.

I have the aussie version 655cc love the bike but when the bike gets hot your at the light set with clutch all the way in and blip the throttle it will just die on you and stall. VERY dangerous as it is always on take off at the lights and have nearly been rear ended on several occasions. I know i'm not stalling it because the clutch is all the way in. Seems like a common problem with the engine stalling. I brought this bike brand new and don't feel comfortable riding it anymore. BTW i am at about 10,000 km so not a "tight" engine problem more likely fuel mapping. Yamaha needs to do something about this dangerous problem. Other than worrying if i'm going to get rear ended every time i take off its a good bike.

Great bike!
I've put an akrapovic exhaust pipe on it and now I can't stop revving the crap out of it.
And also it feels like a safe bike for all the girls out there!
The higher your guts the faster it goes.
5 out of 4 I give it

This was my second LAMS bike and the increase in power from my VTR 250 is huge - you just can't go back. Riding ergonomics are great but the seat is uncomfortable. I upgraded to the 'comfort' seat but that is only marginally better, although much better looking with the red stitching.

Handling is great and the bike is very light. You need to watch your downshifts and match your revs appropriately. If your revs are too high high the back end will kick out. Could have done with a slipper clutch, but maybe thats a reflection of my riding skills.

In any event I would highly recommend this bike, she's a sweet ride.

Hi everyone, I gave this bike a bad review without giving it time for me to give it a fair go, now after 200kms of riding it, I have to say in all fairness that it's an awesome machine. It is so rider friendly and plenty of power, wow, I really love this, yamaha have done a great job in providing the best lams bike out there, sorry about my previous bad review, I take it all back.thx yamaha, u guys rock.

This Bike Is a very good bike for new riders on the road. I would recommend it to all who are starting out on the road and wish to keep a more powerful bike further down the road. With the hefty price of $10k for it brand new 2015 model. it might be a bit far fetched, but it is worth it. The bike itself is very powerful and filled with Torque at the front end. with a boringish top end as it clocks out at 171km/h. though why would one need to go that fast I don't know. The bike is light, and it is Japanese meaning easy and cheap repairs and parts for it. Plus the range of accessories for it is endless. I love this bike and it will be a good bike for a long time. the only problem is that there is no ABS.

First road bike. I'm an older rider 55yrs . With new rules, restricted for three years, it made up my mind for me. MT 07 will carry me through to unrestricted licence no problem. I find it has plenty of power for take off and just does the cruising so easy. Stopping on the twin front discs gives me great feel. Not missing ABS . Good feel on back brake as well. Riding since December and never want to get off. Highway riding is good with Akropovic system clearly helping for awarness.

Out with the mates for ride to tin can bay, heading back and decided to give it a bit of a squirt, surprised a few of my harley mates up around 170 ks, just a bit of fun.

Impeccable build quality (typical of Yamaha), awesome motor, torquey, free revving, smooth and easy to ride. Good suspension. Well balanced and engineered to handle beautifully. Strong brakes although no ABS. Great tyres and wheels. Nice digital display with plenty of info, although it sits a little low, close to the tanks so you find your head moving down that little bit more to read it. Gears are well spaced and that Motor!!!

Looks cool and well priced for a Japanese built motorcycle.

Once you hear one of these bikes with an after market exhaust you will be over whelmed with the urge to buy one. Absolutely fantastic to ride, with plenty of torque and power to get you into more then enough trouble.
