I have an 22' MT-07. I have been traveling the western US riding all over. I've put 18k miles on the bike in less than 1.5 years. This bike is bullet proof. I've road dirt, sand, mud and street. I'm just about to get my 3rd set of tires. Nothing but regular maintenance. So much fun and sounds amazing with an aftermarket pipe.

I’d like to leave a big shout out to y’all in this channel, Ty’s for being around spreading so much information. I finally took courage to get me a wonderful 22/23 mt-07. And being a completely noob about I’ve never been so excited 🎉🎉🎉

I love how two complete opposites, as these two bikes are, can transmit you the same: a fun bike side to side for your weekend rides on some twisty road

HOLY CRAP! I just commented this question on yesterday's video that I was torn between the 4R and the 07, and today Yammie drops a whole video as the answer. Thanks Papa Yam!

I just traded in my 2021 MT07 for a ZX4RR. Oh what a difference. I rode it on the same country twisty's that I rode my 2021 MT07 on and what a surprise. I have 2 cruisers, one being a 2022 Heritage and the other a 2018 1200 Iron Sportster. I wanted something for a little more excitement so I bought an MT07. It was a fine bike but I just didn't think the parallel twins were all that sporty. They didn't sound like a bike that I liked. The torque comes on like a hammer and I'm not into wheelies. I like carving in the country and I have several roads around me, close that I carve. The ZX4RR is perfect for that. The difference between the 2 was amazing. I'm a very young 69 year old with over 50 years of riding experience. I owned a Ninja 600 E in my 40's and 50's. Beautiful bike and I loved it. But then I got a touring bike for me and the wife so I had to sell it. I've also owned an 09 Triumph Street Triple. I still have a big picture of it on the wall in my garage. I loved it but it was starting to leak oil so I traded it in on an M8 Street Glide. I digress. I wasn't getting the excitement out of the MT07 that I wanted but this ZX4RR seems to have been made just for me. I've only had one good day of riding besides riding it back 40 miles from the dealer. So this is the next morning and I couldn't sleep very well last night thinking about which road I was going to ride on the following day. I'm still excited to play with my new toy. I'm learning more and more about the KQS and riding mods. The Sport is really good but the Road mod seems better suited for around town for stop and go traffic. It seems the influencers are working with the motorcycle industries to promote parallel twins so they can save some production costs and make more money. I enjoy bikes that stirs the soul like the sound of a Harley and 4 and 3 cylinders. I also owned 2012 Bonnie. I still think the 360 degree sounds better then the 270 cranks. Especially with Predator exhaust British Custom. Maybe I should write a book. I'm just a rambling old man with lots of experience. My videos shows what a very young man I really am. Follow me on RU-vid. Yammy if you are ever in Kentucky let me know an we can do some riding together.

I love the looks of zx4rr and will be going for that one whenever i get the bike

do a drag race between the two ! i really need to know which is actually faster.

But don't forget that you can do small simple upgrades to the mt-07 to make it better for instance bit a little thicker fork oil in the forks that will take away sponginess in the front and then put a smaller rear sprocket and that will take some of the torque away and add a little speed 😁 that's what I did to my bike and it works 😁

Would take the 4RR if at the same price point due to the fact that I can do both track days and improve my skill even more as well as daily it without too much worries.

I definitely love the MT-07... can wait to see who are the winners! Hope to be lucky and get my dream motorcycle as a beginner! Thanks again for all the information Yammie I take all information i can to have a successful first experience as a beginner, can wait to take my msf course and get my license

Doing my UK motorcycle tests tomorrow and the day after. After training on the MT-07, I've found it very stable at low speed, a very smooth throttle and clutch, with oodles of torque. It will be my first big bike. It feels like a great beginner's bike, as long as you're sensible. The only quirks are the clunk getting into 1st and the tiny indicator switch.

Interesting. 31" is about the seat height on my San Quentin 2 with the dropper compressed. Also, I've always felt that the MT07 riding position would be the most comfortable for me coming from mountain biking.

I'd want both of these, plus an R1!

Damn, gotta stick to the longboard 🛹 Maybe next time, good luck to ya 🍀

I honestly want the 4rr. Love ninjas. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Please make a video on the new Honda CB500F, papa Yam!

Passed my msf course today and I’m thinking about getting an mt07 . I’m 5”11 so I feel it it’ll be a very beginner friendly bike for me.

Nooo how did I miss this giveaway 😭😭

I love the classy music

The ZX is super pretty, but man the MT 07 is what I would pick too the ZX is just too unnecessary complicated for me.

MT07 ergonomics is way more friendlier then any sport bike

Where’s my gotdamn Ducati V4R Yammie?!?!

I kinda of think anything over a 125 isn't a beginner bike. in 20 years those zx4rr will be collectable 😊

Idk I’m just not a fan of sport bikes. Naked bikes are as far as I would ever go, but I much prefer comfortability. So: cruisers. I’m the kinda guy that would buy a Rebel 500 and turn it into a touring bike with bags, a trunk, etc. lol

Zx4rr é muito mais bonita e mais confortável e não levas com o vento, tem um som brutal, não tem nada a ver mt07 outro tipo de moto, parabéns pelo vídeo.

next I guess for the smaller beginner bike like MT-03 vs Z250?

I own both of these bikes and I would NEVER recommend the MT-07 to a beginner. That bike wheelies way to easy for that.

I’m gonna hear “I’m 5’11” with a 32in inseam” in my nightmares…

MT-07 is a beast for sure 🎉

Zxr400rr would be a dream bike for a beginner. Learn all the basics then have the ecu flash. Thats like upgrading a bike with the same bike.

Genuine question, why not buy the slightly more expensive MT-07, which has a TFT display and a sexy matte black color?

Bro does the Kawasaki 4rr and Aprilla rs660 have the same rear shock fitment? Coz I saw some aftermarket ohlins rear shock for Aprilla rs 660 and Im just wondering if it fits to my Kawasaki zx4rr, please help me on this bro coz I want an ohlins rear shock suspension on my zx4rr thanks bro

This depends upon are you a street rider and short track rider or a scream it to the moon and big track rider. To daily then mt07 every time. For outright speed and long track fun go zx4rr.

would the zx4rr be a good beginner bike too? whats everyones thought?

Will you ever be giving away a bike in Europe? Would be nice 😢

Yammie - did U apply your tats with a Bic pen? 😂

But it should be vs R7 at that price and type of bike. This just highlights how good the Mt-07 is.

Should be against R7

Ive been riding 3 years now, i finally got an mt07 and its definetly not for beginners. Id say get drz400sm on slightly knobby tires and learn to ride on and offroad, then get the mt07 lol. Thats skipping 12 bikes i owned btw.

I agree with the returning rider i started on a 250rr and i hated it so much that i stopped riding eventually found myself on an mt07 and its night and day tue torque on the bike and the mt range and crossplane just lovely i will be a lifelong yamaha customer

ZX4RR as a beginner bike all day. Me want.

I would personally get the cbr650r over the zx4

Where did he find the full yoshi exhaust??

I would not call either of these beginner bikes, maybe the ninja, but if you never rode a street bike but you have ridden say scooters or dirt bikes or even quads, then sure.

I really like the look of the MT07 it looks really slick, especially with those tires, hoooo Also good luck to those in the give away🤟🏽

R7 or mt07 you get the big bike look big rear tire the power is more than enough to easily overtake any regular car on the road more gas saver

Yami is fhe reason we cant find any yamahas

Dam i need that zx4rr

The answer is neither- you get a used bike that is light, under 40 hp and runs well , that fits your body. These bikes cost 3500 + dollars more than you need to spend.

Is it the Kawasaki er6 2006 good for beginner.

🤣 The MT07 sounds like an XR100

Zx4RR is my favorite bike

My local shop is selling a 2020 mt 07 with 6000km for 8000 cad$ is that a good deal that’s about 6000 usd

It's actually funny because I own both of these motorcycles

Can't compare apple to pears

MT07 All day

I love my Z900

none of those, get the honda hornet 2023

Mt07

Discount code? 😃😊

Why not cb650r as first bike?

This is is *EASY* Triumph Street Triple 765

Cb650r anyday

Bruh I started on a r1 , but i got a 400 for track

Im 6’2” which bike would be better?

Is the Ninja 650R really as underwhelming as everyone says? I wanted a ninja for my first bike and really like the Ninja 400, but I wanted a 650cc version of that. So... Would the Ninja 650 really be that bad of a choice?

Isn’t the RS660 better than both of these ?!?

i hate the fact that these bikes are called "beginner"

Yamaha mt07💙💙💙

In philippines its 499k pesos both of them is 499k

Mt 07 all day.

$12K out the door for a starter bike......NOPE!!!!! Buy the ZX-6R instead for the $1K more.

I’m gonna win that ZX4RR!!

It should be compared to cbr650r

MT07 all day long.

Terrible comparison..🤨 MT-07 vs Ninja400r would be a far better comparison match.

Hope i win !!

Neither gsxr750

you calll a 700cc bike beginners bike lol

MT 07 is as boring as the twins from the past! ZX4RR is a bad ass motorcycle for the individual that loves advancement.

im a zx4rr simp 🥺

Yeah,but i don't like Yamaha?

Thanks Yammie, This video is for the 24 year olds in Europe who want a full bike license.

Zx ...17k bloodline ...mine gött

I favor the Trident 660 over the MT-07 every day.

i would have bought a new MT07 if it werent for the IMO retarded color scheme. i hate it. give me one in Yamaha blue and im a buyer. dunno why Yamaha felt the need to go cyan. i hope Yamaha sees this. note likely but hopeful.

I can't believe anyone would waste $12,000 on a 400cc Shitbike.

Mt 07 isnt a beginner bike 💀

I'm 17 and have riden an mt07 and it looked like it had a quickshifter

Get a cfmoto 450ss and get a great bike while saving tons of 💰

First

You are not objective bcs you are yamaha fan. Honda cb750 hornet is much better then mt07

It's a toilet

None of them are begginers bikes!

0 to 80, the mt07 wins. 80 to 130, the ninja wins.
