Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-07 2023

In model year 2023, the MT-07 is still a good and universally usable motorbike. Its problem is the tough competition. In a direct comparison, the engine now seems a bit limp and the equipment a bit uninspiring. The good riding position and uncomplicated handling are still good.

Easy to read and beautiful display

Charismatic engine

Sitting position fits very well for different pilots

Motorcycle is not spectacular but rides harmoniously and pleasantly

Good brakes

Lax chassis - too little damping

feeling for gearstick somewhat intransparent

operation not intuitive

lack of traction control

inactive seating position

seat a little too soft on long journeys.
