Global Moderator Guru Posted April 28, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2017 Welcome @sunblock, great to have you on board. I went for my honeymoon to Greece, long ago. And I live near a little town named Athens (in Canada) so I feel I know you already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunblock Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Ironic, I'm thinking of going to Scandinavia for my honeymoon. The Strada is finally sold, and I'm going to check-out a second-hand MT-07 next week. The guy sells it cheap because it has slightly bent forks. Says it doesn't pull while driving it. Also on the negatives is that it's red. I would prefer gray, black or white. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement color panels are relatively cheap so you can make it any color you like. 👍 DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunblock Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 You're right, it costs 225 euros (261 USD) to buy all 3 pieces in white. It's doable. However, it all depends on how bent are the forks and how much is going to cost to straighten them. If they need to be replaced it's not worth it. Also, I'm worried that it might have some other hidden damage. Like crooked frame collar or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the pair of front fender side pieces as well as several pieces under the seat and sides. But even with those it's not terrible cost wise. DewMan Just shut up and ride.

sunblock Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 The 2014 red edition has a black front fender so it can stay black. As for the other bits and pieces, if they're not red or visible, I don't mind. Out of sight, out of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunblock Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 First impressions: Amazing engine. Pulls right off. Raaaw power! The saddle is uncomfortable. The suspension feels cheap. The position of my hands feels too low and forward. The horn button is in the wrong position I wish the dash could display more stuff at the same time. On my strada, you could see the odometer, temperature and trip meter at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yamaha is a bargain bike with mediocre parts and the Aprilia Pegaso Strada is bit more refined and expensive for that reason but you knew that, right?

sunblock Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 No, it wasn't. If anything it was slightly cheaper. bought it 6.000 euros brand new (without ABS). The MT-07 is around 6.300 euros without ABS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
