New Mt07

[weeksy]

For me its no Dragster though...

Well no, but the Dragster is double the purchase price.

Its all hypothetical for me as i'm unlike to ever buy either, so the purchase price doesn't' come into it. Looking at the bikes being compared, when it comes to looks, the MT may slay the 790 but its miles from the Dragster!

I'm excited to see what the new 7/9's will look like in XSR guise.

I quite liked the XSR700.

Me too and if I stop riding on track I can see me on one potentially. If not, I can see a 790

I don't. Odd looking bike (sorry weeksy ;D ) and I'm not sure what its supposed to be? It has cruiser (Bolt) lights? Is it a road bike or street moto/semi adventure bike or something? Seat is high, but flat and not at an angle? WHat type of bike is it supposed to be?

When the equivalent 900 looks so much better and comes with an extra cylinder, I know which I prefer. Although a MT-07 as a second/winter bike sounds good...

[Potter]

I'd struggle to tell the differences at a glance, if you hadn't have said they were different bikes I'd have assumed it was just a different angle and not looked for the extra downpipe.

Seems kinda weird that the 900 has USDs but doesn't get the smaller bike's wavy discs.

[bevvo]

They're easy to tell apart. The 700 looks like someone has nicked the side panels. The 900... less so.

Does a bike need to have a type ? Maybe it will sell well coz it doesn't have a label.

Because they're just a fashion item.

All bikes have a type, sports, retro, naked, cruiser etc. I'm just never sure what the XSR is supposed to be?

Really ? With that headlight and tail unit it's clearly a retro ?

And I've just realized that I'm talking bollocks, as when I typed that I was thinking of the MTs (even an MT03 is apparantley a Hyper Naked )- XSRs are in fact
" Sport Heritage " bikes..

It's really nice that Weeksy, but have you ever thought about changing the exhaust?

That's not a bad idea.

You can get unbelievably cheap Chinese systems for MT09/XSR900. I mean £185 for a brand new stainless akro copy. How bad can it be? Its even got the loop!
