Yamaha MT-07 Scrambler by JvB Moto

Yamaha made a strong move with the introduction of the their 07 and 09 models of the XSR and MT series. Where the 09 models have an awesome, high performing 3 cylinder, the 07 models are fitted with a 270 degree twin engine with Yamaha’s cross-plane engine philosophy. Both engines have their own strong set of characteristics and both are extremely fun to ride.

With the 07 models, Yamaha has a clear “value for money” aim, and both the MT-07 and the XSR700 are very affordable and successful. Several prices where won around the world and Yamaha stole the heart of a complete new audience.

But that’s just some background info… What do we have here? Well, it’s another great creation from one of these Yamaha’s by JvB Moto, a German brewer who melted down the internet a with their custom Yamaha XSR700 called the “Super 7”. The Super 7 was such a success, that all custom parts are now offered as a complete range of bolt on parts in several Yamaha shops.So what do you do with a successful concept? 

So what did they do to the stock MT-07? First off all: all technical components of the original machine are untouched. No wires where stripped and no disc grinder or welding machine where used. This means that the average biker can create this own Super7 without having difficulties with the insurance or warranty of the bike.

Owner Jens vom Brauck:

“You can also put your sleeping bag and a tent, or a big beer case on the rack and do the scrambler thing. Cruise around in the country side with your friends or go to the beach. It is all great fun with this bike, I tried it myself…”
