Tpoppa Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 If this comes to the US for $6,500 it may be worth picking one up. It has a little more power than an SV650 and weighs less than 400 wet. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/firstrides/2014_yamaha_mt_07_first_ride/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 $1100 cheaper than the ninja 650, $1500 cheaper tha the SV 650 an $2000 cheaper than the cbr650.Sign me up. So glad all the manufactures have true middle of the road sporty bikes again. Let the war beginNow only if EBR would build their OWN 650 twin.

redkow97 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Now only if EBR would build their OWN 650 twin. why? the one with 78hp and a 360 lbs. curb weight doesn't excite you enough? I really hope that bike romps the Japanese "lightweights" and everyone is left eating crow. On paper, the Hero looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YSR_Racer_99 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Man, I LIKE this bike, but the practical side of me says to pick up an '05 (or so) SV650 for $2500 instead. Put the GSXR front end on it, and thrash away. Half the price, all the fun.I've started to look for another SV650. It was more fun than the SV1k version is...

zx3vfr Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I really like how the author was complaint about the narrow handle bars. It's a 6500 dollar bike. Renthal bars are like 65 bucks. Just buy new bars... Jeez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Might be a good first bike for the gf.. Hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I like that is has an optional factory top case and flyscreen. It could make for a nice commuter or light tourer. Then maybe add some R6 forks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
