Yamaha MT-03 Acceleration + Top speed. 

Hard for me to say I've never even sat on a shadow, I guess it comes down the preference do you prefer cruisers or nakeds? I'll tell you about the mt03 a bit. I've had it for 2 years now, never had any problems with it. Very reliable and fun to ride, but the plastics are not great, feel a bit cheap and scratch easily, the stock exhaust rusts to bits so I'd recommend a full system but they're pricey off course. I'm 5.11 and if fits me alright, on longer journeys I've never felt uncomfortable.

Get the MT-03, I've got 9000 miles on my 2019 and it's a great starter bike. It's got power if you need it but the powers high up in the rev's so once you're comfortable you can get up there and start having fun. Great city bike but it's a fairly neutral riding stance, I have done 500 miles in a day and didn't feel wrecked.

Ahhh I'm leaning towards the yamaha now lol! You guys on the mt 03 ever felt like you've been wanting to upgrade to a bigger displacement bike? Been seeing reviews on the yamaha that people grow into them fairly quickly and end up getting a bigger bike. Not wanting to do that. Also, did you buy your bikes new? If so, how are the payments and insurance?

Also, I live in San Francisco California, so lots of city, beach, highway, canyon, and steap hill riding. Need a bike that can do it all fairly well!(:

@@9MAYHEM6 Buy it :)

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching.

Thanks very much I appreciate it.

@@iride1999 very nice test. Can you do one about the exhaust system?

@@dominikidei4340 i have one video on whether the exhaust is worth it, Nothing much to say about it tbh, its a quality exhaust.

What kind of mic did you use? There is almost no windnoise at all! Indeed a great quality video!

@@vincentpenninckx23 I used another GoPro hero 7 to record the sound, and I just put it in my backpack.

Yeah its a little beast, do you regret selling it?

@@iride1999 I had my reasons. But looking back at it now, sold it with 11k kms, never even had a scratch on it, hell yeah I miss those days. I plan on buying 07 sometime in the near future. Hope yours serves you for a long time and in a safe manner. :)

Yeah I bought mine with 15k one the clock, almost 30k now, still buttery smooth. Yeah the mt07 is a proper beast, unreal sound out of that thing.

That's awesome bro, congrats. That's a good choice of colour as well, hope she serves you well. 👌

I’m looking at the same bike for my first, what are your thoughts so far?

Have you got it yet? 😁

I just bought mine :)

Bro died on his mt 03

Cheers bro, thanks for watching, greetings from Ireland. ✌️

Cheers bro, I appreciate that ✌️

Thanks for watching 👌

Congrats, hope she serves you well.

Cheers bro I appreciate that a lot. Do you ride yourself?

iRide no worries, I don’t ride yet but I’m gonna get an mt03 real soon, can’t wait

@@twistedpickle6984 that's awesome, you won't be disappointed with it.

Good stuff man enjoy it

im sorry to confuse you on this... because i am stuck on this, but look at a bmw g310r. i cannot decide between the bmw g310r or the yamaha mt 03 for a first bike.

@@ronnyphi7257 The MT-03 is good for the street and a bit of the highway. The BMW is more of a adventure do everything type of bike. The MT-03 is lighter and most likely easier to control.

@@Ravendier ok thank you soooo much that helps a ton

did you buy it?

Cheers bro, thanks for watching. Greeting from Ireland

Yeah I have it remapped, it runs alot better with it, and it makes around 4 extra hp from stock. But the top speed can be affected by many things, tire pressure, rider weight and even wind.

Yeah the sprockets are stock, and damn that corvette is a monster, this bike would be left for dead by that haha.

@@iride1999 See that's my problem. I have a 18 Camaro SS 1LE and it'll do about 4.2 second 0-60 without a hard launch. I've rode dirtbikes growing up and now I'm wanting to get a bike (taking the MSF course next month too). I don't think I want to start out at a 300 because I think it could be boring coming from a fast car. I want a bike that is at least as fast as camaro if not more. I am looking at the Z650 or the Suzuki GSXS 750

I see what ya mean, but you gotta consider the fact that you feel acceleration different on a bike, in a car you sit back but in a bike you gotta hang on.

Thanks for watching, yeah it had a full arrow exhaust along with an ecu tune, it makes about 4hp more over stock

@@iride1999 thought it was mph at first

@@billedwards7980 haha I wish

@@iride1999 nice bike though bro,looking at getting same bike myself

@@billedwards7980 yeah you won't be disappointed.

Once you tuck in there isent much but upright there would be a lot of wind yes. It also depends on the helmet how noisy it it.

Cheers dude, appreciate the heads up👍👍

Thanks man, it's a full arrow exhaust with the thunder black muffler, I've got a video on my channel basically saying if it's worth it or not.

@@iride1999 thanks for replying, i also have a channel and i recently purchased an mt-03. I'll sign up for yours! my channel is new.

if your planning to go offroad the wr is obviously the better option, but if your planning to only stick to roads then I'd get the Mt.

Thanks dude I appreciate that

Yeah this bike is not for you mate, I'm 5.11 and I can flat foot with slightly bent knees so I'd go for the mt07 if I were you

Get the MT07 for sure, the MT03 would be too small for you! If you really want a 300cc look at the R3. Even though it’s smaller the way you sit on a sport bike gives you more room.

They are RST gloves, don't know the exact make.

@@iride1999 thanks!

I've had the bike for almost 3 years and even after getting a 600 I still love the mt03. With the exhaust and ecu tune I'm getting around 4.5l per 100km. Everyone's got their opinion on bikes but you just gotta try one out yourself to know for sure.

@@iride1999 I really appreciate your answer, thank you. Also, I've noticed you answer most of the comments and i really want to tell you that it is just great seeing it. Thanks again!

@@subtil2979 thanks man yeah every question I can answer I will , and I appreciate your comment. Cheers

Thanks for watching ✌️

Thanks dude

Its a full arrow exhaust with the thunder black can.

Where did you purchase it and how much did it cost if I may ask

@@DaniDullaert I never bought the system as a whole, the previous owner put on the slip on muffler and then I bought the headers and mid section used from eBay, and you can find the whole system on ebay as well, it will cost about 600 euro.

Yeah it feels fine

Hey bro, It's an full arrow system with the thunder black can, brand new it will cost you 600 euro.

Thank you ! Ride safe ;)

It's just a great all round bike, very reliable starts first time everytime,I've put 14k kilometres since I bought it and it never gave me any trouble. very fun to ride and not bad for longer journeys too. One really bad thing is the quality of the stock exhaust, it rusts really easily, that's why I went for the full arrow system. The plastic could be better as well, scratches very easily but it can be polished to look nice again. Personally I love this bike, has a lot of character especially with the aftermarket exhaust. I recommend it

iRide it’s great to hear that, keep the videos up they’re enjoyable to watch mate thank you for replying

@@iride1999 Did you remap it after a full exhaust? :D

@@abilashyogalingam5470 yes it was remapped, it makes 4hp more.

@@iride1999 Sweet, but is remapping a must? :D

It's a full system arrow exhaust with the thunder black can.

I have a RVF400, now that was a bike. V4 with the gear drive howl. The CBR400, VFR400 were built better than the top1000cc sport bikes of the day. Looking here to decide between the Duke 390 and MT03 in Australia

According to the dyno its making 4hp more over stock, I don't really feel much difference tbh but I've never properly tested the performance while it was stock.

@@iride1999 Cool. Thanks for your reply. Have you ever tried a Kawasaki z400? Wondering if there's much noticeable difference in performance.

No sadly not, but if you look at the specs the kawasaki has a few more horsepower and weighs a little less so should be a little faster on paper anyway.

@@iride1999 Yeah true. I wonder how much you notice it when riding. I've tried the z400 before and am planning to try an mt 03 soon. Yours looks proper quick though!

@@kobod yeah their both quick bikes, both equally fun I'd say.

Yeah I'd say a full akro will sound similar and yeah the arrow is a straight pipe, no catalytic converter.

@@iride1999 Thanks man, beatifull ride aswell

sure here it is www.ebay.ie/itm/YAMAHA-MT-03-Full-exhaust-ARROW-THUNDER-ALU-Black/123602221929?hash=item1cc7443b69:g:Uy0AAOSwWtFcQvgd

Damn that's a long time

@@iride1999 yes ！ Too many ppl has ordered in Hong Kong

Yeah it's perfect for a city or around town but there have been situations where I wished it had a bit more you know?

@@iride1999 you think so?? I daily ride a Honda CG125cc 01 and it only goes as fast as 80km/h and even tho i wish i got more i dont think its that safe going more than 100km in the city, maybe cause you live in the US and there the avenues and highway's are waaay bigger than here

Actually I live in Ireland and the city streets are pretty tight, but what I meant to say was its pertect for the city but I wish I had more on motorways and country roads where roads are more open.

It might be too small for you, I'm 5'11 and I can already flat foot with bent knees and my legs just fit into the shape of the tank. You'd need to have a seat on one to know for sure.

@@iride1999 ok thank you ✌🏻

Thanks for watching

Motea.com

Well my bike is also tuned, but it was getting over 170 easily when stock, keeping in mind that if your a heavy rider it will slow it down, I only weight 71kg.

something might be wrong with your bike... my stock mt-03 hits 174 km/h any day... I weight 92kg, so maybe sparks, plugs... or just hit it harder from 1st gear all the way up :-D

You maybe shift up too early

Full arrow exhaust thunder black can.

I have ridden the older mt03 but only around a parking lot when I was doing my IBT, the only differences I noticed is the older mt is a bit more twitchy and vibrates more but feels faster cuz of the extra torque that is has. The older mt also looks a bit more grown up with wider tires and less plastic on it , I prefer that over my bike. Both are good bikes in my opinion.

iRide aah okay thanks for the response man! Think i just have to test ride both of them. Keep on going with the vids!

It handles it fine, probably wouldn't want to do it for a long long time though

People also prefer the mt07 for the sound because of that 270 degree crank. And it may not have much more as far as top speed but acceleration will be a lot faster than the mt03. But yeah I love this bike.

I'd recommend something bigger bro, I'm 5'11 and I fit but I'd say I'm close to limit of being too big. Only way to know is to sit on it yourself.

@@iride1999 Thanks for advice I will probably go to dealership to try it out

Cheers bro

2016 👍

Yeah the Duke is a lot less reliable, if I remember correctly they have gasket issues, but apparently on the new ones they fixed that, the mt03 is a fantastic bike, can't say too mush about the Duke never ridden one but they look pretty neat too.

iRide yeah my dad has the new 2017 390 duke but he rarely rides it so he’s had no issues so far

Yeah you wouldn't want to cruise at 140 with this cuz it vibrates to much haha

I appreciate that, thanks.

Full Arrow with the thunder black can.

So with the exhaust I do have an ecu tune which adds 4hp, but even stock it should be getting over 170, have you done anything with your bike?

No it's a full exhaust.

Yeah I think most modern 300s these days can do that

@@iride1999 I've seen 150, but not 170 😅

You tell me, is that your Duke in your profile picture?

@@iride1999 yes, it is 2020 bs6 duke 390

@@iride1999 mt03 not yet launched in India.

Yeah it's the same

No, it has a full system arrow exhaust, from the dyno results it makes 4hp more over stock, but really doesn't feel any faster haha 😂

@@iride1999 did you install the exhaust yourself? I’m looking at this bike, the Z400 or the Svartpilen 401.

@@blarghman332 yeah it's very easy to install, and they all good bikes.

Of course, you can mount an aftermarket windshield on the same screws where the original is mounted.

@@iride1999 ok thank you very much

Around 600

It's Ireland

It's a full arrow system with the thunder black muffler.

No, it's a full arrow system
