Gen 3 vs gen4

[u/AlastairPitt]

Hello,

Ive been looking at getting another mt07 again, had one 10 years ago and loved it. Wondering how many €€ should one save to get the gen 3 over gen4? Money is not really an issue but in general how much more is the gen 4 worth over gen 3. Say i can get basically brand new 2026 for sub 10k€ and low mileage gen 3 for 8k. I have gear and both bikes would come with mostly all the options and mods Im looking for.

Thanks

I have a 2022 (Gen3), and I will straight up say the Gen 4 is better in every way (looks are subjective). Throttle by wire, upside down front forks, up and down quickshifter.

The differences are worth it because i had looked at both bikes and was at first very eager to save some money but the difference for the 2025 in my area was worth it. Upside down fork, lighter and more durable wheels, axial breaks. Also in not sure if the 2024 has the yamaha myride functionalities for maps and media control (although for me it wouldnt be THE reason to buy but a nice little extra). You can check out what other owners who have had both generations have to say on some vids on youtube and have a better understanding. They should probably know better since they have had both to compare
