Simply casual motorcycling! The MT-07 conveys carefree joie de vivre and you love to waggle the lively machine through the bends. The engine is still a guarantee for riding fun. It's amazing how much fire blazes in this little part. Unfortunately, the chassis is still not really good. Together with the missing quickshifter, it is reminiscent of the Yamaha's mild price tag.
