TomAJ91 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I really can't decide on them, and what suits me best or what is considered the better purchase.The MT is cheaper, but insurance is £200 more expensive, had great low down power but lacks up top compared the CB.The CB is relatively new, but the MT is a tried and tested and considered one of the greatest middleweights you can get.I just keep on going in circles.

Shadow125 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I learned and sat my tests on an MT07 and loved it. Ended up buying a cbr600f after passing. My CBR is older but an amazing machine, having to keep the revs high to be in the power band was very different from what I was used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge fan of the looks or naked bike, riding wise it was great. My CBR ticks more boxes for me, and the sound of it makes when opened up 9-10k revs more than makes up for the lower noise on the MT07. Much prefer the aesthetics of the CBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakalwe Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 The Yamaha is much cooler, sounds better and you’ll appreciate the low down grunt more than any sort of top end on a naked bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungleaio Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Get the one you want not the one you think you should have. Either way you will be wanting something else soon enough so it won't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizabethf Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The MT 07 is a great starter bike.It feels safe when your fresh out of the test centre without being too boring. I wrote a review on mine in the reviews section which is from the point of view of someone who is newish to biking. That said the CB looks amazing and I imagine would cater to more abilities than the MT07 - i can see why people would get bored of the 07 after riding it for a while.

Pie man Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Congratulations I have a GS for those two up touring trips, however I also have the MT07 for days out. I like the little MT07, it has enough power for today's roads and most of all it is fun. It will go round the twisties just as quick as any other bike, cheap and cheerful and cool looking too.

Now down to the important decision CB6650R or MT07?[/q[mention]TomAJ91[/men[mention]TomAJ91[/mention] I ordered my MT07 on Saturday, bang for buck is was unbeatable. Just wondering if I should have the baffles out on collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungleaio Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Are you having the akra exhaust fitted too? I'd leave the baffles in then take them out yourself, at least you'll know how to put them back in of its too loud.I'm sure you'll enjoy the mt07, I did.
