Thoughts on Yamaha MT-03

I've seen this on a 2007 (07) plate for £3,395 with 5k miles.

I just wondered if anyone had any experiences with this bike. Looks rather nice would suit me nicely. Might take it for a test.

Someone I work with has one of these.

Butt ugly if you ask me

My friend has had his a while now and hasn't had a problem with her. He commutes almost everyday and always goes on about how comfortable she is.

If you like the bike, go for it. You shouldn't run into many problems.

That is a smart looking bike.

Aren't they only £5k brand new?

I guess they're ok if you like the lumpy single thing. If I were after a single, I'd be looking at a KTM too.

I really like the idea of the MT03, a big thumper with decent suspension and motard styling. Slightly lacking in power for my tastes but I'm sure it would still be a lot of fun. The cluttered and messy engine spoils it a bit for me though.

RRP is £7400 which is too much money for this, no wonder you don't see many around.

Kind of it's attraction really. Really enjoyed, quite smooth and easy to ride.

Tank pulls your legs wide a bit but still comfy.. Long distance not so sure.

Wife had to pull me away from gixer though

Those days are long gone.

Ugly, not exactly a brilliant engine, quite bland to ride from what I've heard from owners.

Not for me I'm afraid.
