Hoze Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Stopping in to say hi since I’m a new guy but old to riding. After 3 back surgeries I thought I would never ride again then a month ago visiting my son was riding everyday with him on his buddies bike. No back issues was surprising next thing I do was pick up a 2020 mt-07 I love this torquey bike! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlichu Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Welcome! Glad your back is feeling better. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of physical therapy and improving your core strength. Training your core strength gives you more stability and may help with your back pain. Do you have pictures? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last bike was a Suzuki GSXR 1000r, but my back was getting bad and I just couldn’t sit in that front lean position anymore. But 8 years and 2 back surgeries later I find the mt-07 to fit me quite comfortably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I sat on mine for the first time, I felt like it had been designed for me, to make me feel as comfortable as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring them way back, you increase your comfort 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulb5950 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Glad your able to still rip around and enjoy motorcycles! Also had a bad wreck the left riding in a more attack position basically impossible for me. Supermotos and the nakeds have been the saving grace to still let me get my fix.
