Hello

They're not as fast as a 350lc.

[MGEmGee]

OK

I've ridden all the MT range

An MT 07 will do anything a newly qualified rider will need, it's comfortable for tall and short riders, it handles ok for everyday use, its not bad on fuel.

What do you mean by "riding fast"? is that racer fast or fast for your ability?

Racer fast... Like taking the bike to its limits.
Im no pro but in the learning curve

Its no good for that then.

Have you considered a Desmo?

New to bikes and already maxing bikes out, but asking about a Tracer 700

Time to step away from either the bong, or the PlayStation.

I see a few MT-07 heroes on the morning commute.. all fart and no st!

Need to have the loudest exhaust possible and undertake all of the traffic using the cycle lane.

I had a Stan Stephens tuned 250LC production racer.

Used it on the road a few times. Scary stuff

Do you agree that a 350 LC would wipe the floor with a MT07.

I have a picture of myself sitting on a 500lc in Stan Stephens shop in 1984. I was only 18 years old and used to read all about him in magazines so when passing Sevenoaks I pestered my workmate to find the shop so I could have a look.

He is a top bloke and spent ages talking about everything bike related, even made us a cup of tea.

Of course it is, a 47bhp bike is always faster than a 75bhp bike, and the LC weighs 10Kg less, no contest

There would be more chance of me wiping out on a 350LC after years of namby pamby soft delivery four strokes

I'd still have a go despite what the figures say.
