Default Re: Motorcycle Riders

I have a Yamaha MT-07, 700cc naked parallel twin that has a firing sequence like a v-twin.



Mine is the 'normal' global model (called the MT-07HO here), not the LAMS-approved one.

I have driven it into work in Melbourne from here (85km one-way) and find it pretty comfortable in stock form plus I get about 4litres/100km.

It's powerful enough to stay in front of traffic and isn't going to rip your arms off if you give it a wrist-full.

Mine now has a topbox purchased at the beginning of COVID in case I had to forgo public transport (my missus is immunosuppressed) but I ended up working from home since March.

If it is any help the seating position is upright, no weight on the wrists and you're not craning your neck to look forward.

I'm 56yo and pretty short at 5'5"...
