Top 5 BAD Things about the Yamaha MT03! 

Check out Chase's video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s9p5Sa8rVAg.html

The worst 5 things about the mt03 1: Its not in my garage 2: Im not riding it 3: I cant afford a new one. 4: I dont have a stupid stamp on my license. 5: Its not mine.

Top 5 things I, an experienced rider, hate about a beginner bike.

1. Install throttle tube for newer r6/r1 problem fixed in 5 min and $12 2. Install steel braided lines and motul RBF 600 fluid 1hr and $80 fixed 3. Slow??? It can go over 100mph and keep up on the freeway with passing speed to go.... 4. Compact??? The wheelbase on the R1 is only 35mm longer..... 5. Perhaps they should have hired you for marketing?? Is there any other Yamaha that feels like an R1?... Yami-Noob

It's a great bike. I bought a beautiful blue Mt03 in Australia last year. The bike is awesome. Seat height is great. Engine is great. DO you need to go over 100 miles an hour? I'd just lose my licence. Find a better, cheaper, user friendly, town bike, road bike, weekend twisty tourer and i'd buy it... But it isn't out there. Yes the brakes are average. yep i'm an old, short , boring (but experienced rider).. Buy one of these and ride the heck out of it ! take care. :)

“This motorcycle is meant for beginners and I am not a beginner” -the entire video

> Seat height too low Meanwhile my 5'5" ass is having a massively difficult time trying to find bikes that work for me seat height wise. Bikes are getting taller and taller and it's becomming a real problem.

"Slow" Me sobbing on my 125cc

Nice job with the video, sir! I can totally agree with the throttle period. You can tell I have about break my wrist every time I try to ride out of frame in my video! What we collabing on next?

We need a MT05 to fill in the middle.

"slow, even for a beginner bike" me, crying to the fact that I have an MT-25 because it's the only engine available in my market

#1 Not a con if you want a less twitchy bike #2 What does wooden even mean? It's not a common industry term. Don't assume everyone watches your videos all the time. #3 Not a con if you want a bike with more linear power delivery, doesn't cook your legs when in traffic, doesn't destroy your wallet in fuel costs. #4 Valid point for taller/larger riders. Not a con for shorter people #5 Not a con if you want a R3 but prefer a naked look and upright riding position

Three of these are non issues, like he had to really look to find something not to like.

I am a brand new rider, did dirt bike a couple times as a kid, but that's it. I purchased this bike after watching the many videos, and seeing it as a great bike for noobs like me. Thanks Yammie for all the great info on this bike. I am sad there is no MSF here right now due to covid, but I got my permit and friends that are licensed. I get my bike delivered this week. So stoked to join the club.

This bike is way better than he narcs on. I love it for teaching my kids road safety, and manners. We have been riding together since they were little offroad., but traffic is way more dangerous. This is an excellent "keep you alive" as a young rider bike. They love how it looks, and the fun, without worrying about size or power. Learning traffic manners is totally different from learning to drive a car. This bike is perfect for learning and living.

For beginner bikes (If you want something fast), I recommend comparing the 0-60 times of a motorcycle of your choice to a Toyota Camry TRD if you're looking for a decently fast bike that won't kill you. A Toyota Camry TRD is a sleeper that can do 0-60 in 5.7, which is very fast for sedans, on the borderline of sportscar territory (WRX = 0-60 in 5.5).

nice vid, again! you almost got me conviced to get one.

I was so confused when I saw both videos posted within a minute of each other but a collab makes sence Edit: I can’t spell stop making fun of me I won’t change it

Agree with 4 of the not so good aspects but as a 5'7" tall I am, I can't judge about the height. Perfect for me. Love it.

I love mine, I went from a 500 to it and I much prefer it. I travel for 100s of miles and it's great

This was amazingly coordinated 😁

I agree with everything, and yes, as a 5'4 130lbs guy, number 4 is a blessing haha

Man and here I thought it was a total coincidence that you guys are uploading at the same time😅... But regardless... This is probably the best day of my life! Two of some of my fav motovloggers talking about the prons & cons of the bike I'm considering the most for entry into

Thanks for the review and the Bach Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in the background :)

I own this bike and it's really not that slow ,sure you have to be up I. The rev range to get that boost... But it's there. Top of 3rd gear is fast as hell to me

Ha yammie love the vids could you do a vid on cfmoto id like you thoughts on them n spites to

The MT03 was the first bike to blow me away when I saw the 2020 when shopping around for my first bike. Shows how nooby I was for it to get slated here 😅

speaking of brake mods, could you guys try and change brake lines to a steel ones? I think it will go nicely with a new pads and improve overall feel of the brakes

Do more videos on the Svartpilen 401 and it's reliability and maintenance

Very nice collaboration.

A 300 cc bike is not a begginer bike. When you ride bigger engine bikes, you feel bike like the MT 03 are slow (I have a MT 07), but it is not. When I had a 150 cc bike, the first time I rode a MT 03, that bike felt very fast even when I had 2 year riding bikes.

Hi I'm subscriber. I'm a very new rider and I just got my motorcycle license as a learner last September. Does the MT03 are good on tight turn?

Hey papa yam! Can you do a review of the Kawasaki Vulcan 650 S!

I would like to see an full exhaust on the Suzuki SV650X

Hey Yam! Ik u dont like cruisers but ik u like power....Vmax gen 2 vid please!

Yammy, not everyone is your height. Stop saying small bikes are a bad thing. Lots of people, myself included, are under 5'7 and a bike like this is perfect for us.

Hey Yammie, could you please review the Yamaha XJ6? Thank you in advance!🙏🏻

I only agree with you when it comes with the brakes. I call them spongy, especially the back break. I have the 2019 version of it, and yes I updated the blinkers and the tail. The one bad thing that you did not mention and I found a bit of a nuisance is that there is no after market adjustable front brake lever (at least according to the dealer where I get mine serviced)... Clearly I am a shorty at 5’ 4’’ and while for that size of body I have large hands... I really wish that there was an adjustable lever for the front brake. If I want something that will go faster, I will get out something with a few more CCs. I ride mostly in Switzerland, and this is a country where the police is totally unforgiving about speed limits. Even on the MT-03 it is incredible how often my TomTom chimes to tell me that I am exceeding the speed limit (perhaps one of the best reasons to have a TomTom in Switzerland).

What brake fluid do you plan on using for the bike?

Them: You can't watch all Yammies videos in one week. Me: Hold my helmet...

I have a 2016 mt03, its my first bike so don't have much to compare it to. I chucked on a slip on exhaust and adjustable leavers, apart from that its stock. I like it but I won't be keeping it for long as I would like more power

Damn this bikes for sale on marketplace right now in Virginia haha. I was looking at it but found one closer to me

That's why I was wondering why they both dropped the video about the MT-03 together.

I was so confused when I saw chase upload at the same time, "5 reasons why the Mt 03 is good" 😂😂

When is the announcement for this giveaway? Thanks

Yammie what do you think about the r15 as a beginner sports bike

considereing the speed of this bike and the price it is a lot better than a cb 300. and it's almost 1k usd cheaper in my country.

You need to come down to Georgia papa yam, come meet chase in person

You can put the throttle from a r6 on this and it will fix it. They also have a break kit for this. There is also a kit to give it more power Plus you can put a cog and full exhaust. It's a 300 not a 400. But alot of people like the feel of the r3 and the mt03 then the ninja 400.

LMFAO had me so confused I really thought it was a lucky timing by the two of you

Been asked a million times but would this be one of the better 300s just for 20 mile commutes to work on country roads that max out at 55mph and the occasional super short highway run? I'm really looking for a bike that feels ridiculously comfortable to ride around 45-60 mph and can handle corners really well. I'm not going to be taking corners like a madman because I'm timid and I'm a newer rider so I really want a bike that can handle corners with 0 issue whatsoever.

I have the previous gen MT 125 and it is alot less cramped than the newer ones. I'm only 5 foot 11 but when getting on the new MT 125 I feel so uncomfortable.

so how long is the throttle throw? on my stock 2020 r3 its a 1/4 turn from closed to fully open. i have an r6 throttle tube but idk if its really needed?

"I'm a giant baby that gets mad when things aren't specifically made for me" "Buy my Euro Trash" - Yammienoob

DUDE!! Do a Husqvarna 250 vid . was looking to pick up one. some times your opinion matters :P xD

I'm a 5'6'' guy and I was decided on buying this bike. After watching this I'm sure I'll buy it! 😄

I bought a brand new 2021 MT-03 as my first bike and I agree with a few of his points. Yes, the brakes are garbage. Yes, it’s a bit slow even for a beginner (granted the engine isn’t broken in and feels stiff). Yes, the throttle throw is obnoxiously long, even for a beginner. Are they “bad”? No. Is there room for improvement? Definitely yes. I will say the seat height for a 5’ 11” rider with 32” inseam (me) feels just fine. I don’t feel cramped and it’s nice to feel relaxed at a stop light. I have no real legitimate complaints about the bike. It’s suuuuppppper easy to ride and is very confidence inspiring. I would 100000% recommend this bike to a new rider or someone who wants a light, maneuverable city bike regardless of experience. Long story short, I have zero buyers remorse with this bike. It’s done exactly as advertised.

My days of big bikes are over the biggest I've owned was a 1990 VFR750 My last & current bike is a mt03 I have owned an R3

Lovely bike for my ISLAND, not to big not to small, just lovely

The MT-03 is more aimed at UK, Euroland A2 licence restrictions. i.e. less than 47 BHP. If I was after an A2 bike in the UK, I'd rather have a Honda CB500F, which with it's 471cc engine has a fair bit more torque, if I was a reasonably well off A2 licence holder, well there's always Yammie's favourite the Triumph Street Triple A2 660cc 47 BHP variant ( better than a CB500F ) that once the rider gets their full A licence can be derestricted to 94 BHP. If I was a beginner rider in the US where you don't have the tiered licences, I'd rather have an SV650. In the UK and Euroland SV650s can be restricted to 47 BHP for A2 licence holders, and they're very good value for what you get. I'd recommend cash strapped UK, Euroland A2 licence holder to get a restricted SV650. There's also so many SV650s about, they're pretty easy to pick up second hand in the UK. As you like to say in the US, there's no replacement for displacement, so the 321 cc Yamaha engine is always going to be a lot more rev-ing and gear changes as compared to CB500F, SV650 or Triumph Street Triple A2 660cc (amongst others). I guess some people like having to rev the nuts of an engine, I had enough of that when I was on a 125cc, it's hard work . No torque, and all that gear changing ! Looks are subjective, I'm really not keen on the MT-03 headlight and transformer looks. Again, I guess some people like this ... (the CB500F , Street Triple and SV650 all look a lot better to me) Comparing the MT-03 with the CB500F, when I last checked , the CB500F had a fair bit better fuel consumption and also a larger tank. So the range on the CB500F was quite a bit better. (Street Triples do drink more gas/petrol, but that triple engine, you'll forgive it for it's thirsty habit) I'll admit that the price and weight of the MT-03 is attractive, but sorry MT-03 lovers, it's just not my cup of tea !

Checking in

I just passed my MSF today! Never ridden before and never drove a manual car either !

It only comes with ABS standard ..so you have no choice to buy Abs or not

Hey yammer I’m cameron. I’m 29 and 5’7” 30” inseam. I am working on getting my motorcycle license and my first bike. I’ve narrowed it down to the Kawasaki z400, grom, Yamaha mt03 and 09. Which would you choose.

You're both in on it haha

Iam 5,3 love the bike have no complaints go ridding with friends that have cruisers I have no issues it is a good bike

5:21 dude you look small on the bike 😂

Does the 2021-2022 has slipper clutch? Thanks

I disagree I am 6,3 6,4 with gear and i fit... it it one of the fastest possible bike for a learner (In NZ we have a LAMS system basically power to weight ratio) i can out pace 400cc bike on the track and its got some power for a 321cc

My dad just blew his 675r's motor on the track going 130, locked up the back tire, the turn he was going into wasnt very kind to him when it locked up. I dont think he wants another daytona unfourtnately.

wheres the video ur pointing to? i want to click and find out but i cant

Royal Enfield Classic 500 review?? I know there would be a lot of views on it!

I feel like this guy actually loves this bike and had a hard time coming up with reasons to not like it.

you know, development is expensive. that is another point where the lower price comes from.

It seems thru a couple of your videos its well established that this bike is not exceptional except for the price and look. Youve established that there are a number of better bikes in the segment.

As a beginner, you need to teach that all important throttle hand. But what does the MT 03 teach it?,,,,, To open the throttle wide to get some response. Such a very dangerous lesson when you think you are ready for "real" motorcycles, since this action becomes a reflex. Yes, very under powdered bikes can be dangerous in many ways,,,,how about also being able to pull away quickly from a dangerous situation? Can't do it.

Nice

I liked this bike, now I'm leaning towards the duke 390.

I love my mt03❤️more than happy 💯

Really appreciate the different approach this video took, compared to the other "Things I Hate About X" series. I didn't dislike the previous episodes, but this one felt a lot more objective. I like that you considered other perspectives than your own personal opinion, each "hated" thing was nicely presented with some reasonable justifications for why you dislike that thing, and the open-ended conclusion sentence didn't feel overly harsh, considering in the series you basically roast the bikes (e.g. size, it sucks for you and I to ride, but like you said it could be ideal for smaller riders and it might not be a complaint everyone has). Currently stuck between buying an MT-03 or financing an MT-07 as my second bike. My heart says 07 but my wallet says 03 please guide me to the light Papa Yam, what do I do😭😭

Simple, no frills bike...Would be better if it is able to be fitted with a centre stand....

I love this bike . But i cant afford this😢

Those 5 things he don't like with mt03 is actually what i like. Me an asian guy this bike is perfect for me.

I don’t understand why people rave about KTM’s, they don’t do reliability, they they very expensive to own and service

Wrong video to post this on but I watched another of your videos and you said girl riders aren’t common, is my group rare or am I stupid? With the people I ride with there’s more girls than boys (about 7 girls and 4 guys)

Mines a 2017 170 kmh in 5th top I don't know.

Crescendo my bad

Nice bravado at the beginning

Slow? It's 0-60 time is impressive for a small bike. I mean there are some other bikes with bigger cc but doesn't run as fast.

Chase vs Yammie rn

that's the bike i wanted to buy as my first ride, so i went to the dealer and realised the bike is too small for me..(i'm 186 > 6.1) i was sooooo disappointed.. still looking for something else...

Cool Cool🤙🏻🤙🏻

Pretty sure it's a beginner bike so the throttle is probably designed that way on purpose.

Seems like a fun bike tho

Yamaha please make and an MT05, the problem solved, good for beginners and those like me who want to downlod from big - heavy motorbikes. MTO3 is almost excellent for beginners, what more to ask from an 321cc engine.

Thats motorcycle is my dream,but i dont have a money to buy,,.sad...i m just a dreaming.hays..

Those who can't afford will tell this five reasons to there friends that stopped them 😀😀😂😂

i wish i can have tht bike ..

COLLAAAAAB.

MT-03 is a slow bike? my Vespa Primavera 150 i-get abs left the chat
