I’m an old dude and ride an MT07. I agree with what you say, you’ve summed the bike up perfectly. It never fails to make me glad I bought it.

I’m also an old guy. I’m 64 years old now. I have had 13 different bikes and 9 of them were Yamaha. In spring 2023 I was ridning a Yamaha Fjr 1300 2014 year model. I was thinking about let the MC ting in my life go and do something else instead. The Fjr was fun and had a lot of technical options that was nice to have but the bike was also a little difficult to control due to heavy weight at low speed. When leaving the Fjr for tire change to a local shop I had the opportunity to testdrive a MT-07. Man, I fell in love immediataly and traded the Fjr to a 2023 MT-07. The summer 2023 I have been driving the north of Sweden, Norway, and Finland 4000 km and I don’t regret the trade from Fjr to a MT-07 at all. I agree with all said in the Ugly Thruth video.

Owner of a 2016 Fz-07 and I still grin like a fool everytime I ride it after all these years. You said it and like everybody says about this bike, if you can describe this bike in 1 word it's FUN!!! God bless you Cyclecruza, keep up the great motorcycle content and stay safe out there. ✌️👍

I'm not really a naked bike kind of person, but the FZ-07 (MT-07) is one I'd proudly own. A family member of mine had the FZ-07 and even in stock form it was a blast to ride. One day they came over with the bike and told me to come check it out. They put on a full Yoshimura exhaust (headers, muffler, etc) with an ECU refresh and tuned on the dyne. I started it up and it sounded absolutely savage. Took it for a ride up and down the road...it definitely wasn't the same bike anymore. Thing even tried to lift the front wheel in third gear when I was giving it throttle. It was truly a beast awakened. Probably one of my favorite bikes I've ever ridden to this very day.

Have mt07 2023 for a month now.. completely agree to everything you said. Ive driven kaws, hondas but there is something in yamaha, it is just so much smoother when you drive, love it!!

I had one of these as my very first motorcycle from 2015-2018 and absolutely loved it! Most of the things you said are true, it is a great bike overall but it has its light and shadow sides like everything else. The engine is absolutely perfect, the sound, the feel... only over about 90 mph it gets a bit sluggish, but on county road speeds this is an engine that I would prefer over many bigger engines because they often dont feel as good. The suspension however, is not great. It tends to sway itself up in the corners on even slightly uneven surfaces which does not exactly inspire confidence. Handlebars are also too narrow - I once test rode the same bike with wider aftermarket bars and it was much better. The first version of the cockpit instrument was also not great, because it was really hard to read when the sun was up. The first seat which they used also was rather uncomfortable after a few hours. All in all still a fantastic bike, but after 10 years on the roads with only minimal changes, the others are catching up fast. PS: If you want to enjoy that absolutely fantastic engine but you dont like the MT-07, it is also in the retro bike XSR700, in the dualsport tracer 700 and in the enduro tenere 700.

Yo! Cycle Cruza. All the additions to your MT07 Fender delete. Tst blinkers n so on. What you think about the engine spoiler? I bacically haved added same as you(diff exhuast the toce razor) but i ended up adding the puig engine spoiler n it looks pretty SICK!

I have an MT07 and while it’s a good bike, it’s not the end-all/be-all. It’s great for cities (it’s sole purpose) but blows for higher speed highway riding in the way that any other naked does. It’s suspension also feels sketchy the faster you go. Above 100 you’re really getting brave. I love it but I’m not gonna pretend it’s the best thing ever.

New rider with 2015 fz07. It has the stock front sprocket and rear sprocket. Noticed you don’t shift from first to second gear until much much later than sub 10mph but rpm isn’t up high. Did you change out a sprocket? Didn’t see the mod list in the description section for this bike.

I’m looking at upgrading from my first bike. Now my first bike goes 60 mph maximum so I just want something that can take me to class or work and is fun and has enough power to drive on the highway and be able to still accelerate. I think I’m leaning towards the mt-07. I also really like that Japanese bright color scheme it has.

Great video Fella, To me motorcycling isn't about a bunch of stats or hitting the reset button after you crash. Getting on something without soul is great if that's all you have but, once you get acquainted with something with this much personality it's impossible not to become friends. If you like it now just think of the possibilities with a race tech Cartridge Emulator and 15-20 fork oil or just trimming the spacer down in the fork by 10-15mm. That will plant the front and improve the ride and handling. 3twoclicksout, 2clicksout, Dave Moss suspensiontuning.

Very enthousiastic comment. Makes me enthousiastic👍 Love the MT07 but the SV 650 also. What do you think of that bike? I'm thinking to buy one of these 2.

Is that a stock exhaust? sound pretty dope do you have mic attached near to it or ?

I love how fired up you get when you crack on the throttle 😅 I love that sound too ❤

I subscribed to you because you help me find a bike that’s it is badass. Went from the iron 883 to a 2022 MT-07. Bought it today. Thanks for helping me brotha. Keep up the great work!

I just got through watching a European press launch for Yamaha's 2023 MT125 and it left me shocked but hopeful. How this relates to our US MT07 compared to other similar but newer/better equipped competition is this 125 comes with a slipper clutch, USD fork, 5" TFT display, traction control, high performance tires, radial mounted front disk, and variable cam timing (good low and high rpm output). Yamaha's current simple configured MT07 will always have a high "fun factor" because of its CP2 engine but adding the standard features they put on their 125 (+ R7 brakes) would also give it competitive performance with the Hornet/GSX 8S/Duke 790 it''s in direct competition with.

I've been wanting one for years. Finally said fuck it and bought one today. It's better than I could have ever expected. You're absolutely right. There's just something magical about it. It's the best motorcycle I've ever ridden. If you're someone who's watching this video and him hawing about whether to get one or not, just do it. You will not regret it. It's like what you imagined a motorcycle would be like when you were a little kid. CycleCruza, thank you, by the way, for all your videos on the mt07, you're the only person on youtube who's done a direct comparison between the 07 and the 09. I bought the 07 instead of the 09 because of your videos. I don't want to go super fast, I want to be super agile. Way more fun that way.

I owned one, never regret as my first bike and still the favorite one,, safe ride cyclecruza and more power!!

Love my 7 I have a 2019 and as you said I too use this as my cruiser. it’s a great bike! Also another great video cyclecruza

The truth is the MT07 is the perfect middle weight naked bike. For the price you can't beat it. Sure no rider aids outside of ABS, but it'll be one of the most fun bikes you'll ever pop a wheelie on. People complain about the suspension the most in my experience, but the suspension is meant for urban city riding on crappy, bumpy roads that seemingly are ALWAYS under construction. It's soft suspension absorbs the impact like it's meant to. Honestly if it had cruise control I'd still be riding a MT07.

I'm 16 years old and I've just bought a used Yamaha MT 125 2020, as a child I've always had some interest in KTMs, but when it came time to choose I preferred the MT to the Duke. I hope I'll be happy with it.

Riding this bike this wednesday at my riding school! Cannot wait

I'm choosing to be optimistic and expecting a slightly different but basically the same fun filled 270° P-twin experience from the new Hornet/GSX 8S/Duke 790 that you get with the MT07. It's nice to have additional choices (especially when the Hornet gets US availability).

Bought mine rode it for few months got ran over broke my back and leg learned to walk again and started to order parts to rebuild her again she is something special for sure I can't wait to ride again 💪

I bought one 5 years ago and bike still makes me smile every time I drive it. Perfect bike for in the city. Had a lot bigger bike but this one is a keeper.

I’m on a r3 now I think mt07 definitely gonna be the next bike. Thing sounds so good, not super heavy, and like you said can rip around without xxx (which I don’t do anyway cause she tops out at 106)

Hi I am new here 😊 Amazing video, explanation and amazing bike MT07 🏍👌😎

My wife just bought herself a 2024 MT07 and I became super jealous after I rode 24 miles home on it. Its torque is super fun to experience and ride position is like heaven compared to my Ninja. Also, crazy lite compared to other 600-700cc bikes. I would get one myself, if she didn't already buy one. The love for these bikes is one of those things you dont know until you ride on one yourself it seems. Now I am looking at paying off my newest bike ASAP so I can get something similar.

Looks like a great bike to me! I might get one after seeing this vid, & listening to what you have said about them.

The MT07 is one of the last RAW bikes out there. Aside from fuel mapping (which can be tuned out), when you give it 100%, you are getting every once of that 100%. The suspension, the exhaust, all things that can be upgraded. The lack of rider aids is also what makes this bike amazing. I can't wait to get mine.

Good review

The cost and bang for buck of an mt07 is amazing. Have owned 2 and an 09. 07 is a special bike. It’s not particularly fast, but is quick and punchy. So much fun on the street and track. It’s hella fun running circles around 600s on the track 😂. Needs some tweaks to be track ready tho, suspension/bars/gearing/tune

Wish you still had your dual-sport. I miss seeing you ride off road.

Why did you replace the stock exhaust if you like the sound?

I have had my 2023 MT 07 sense may and I love the bike. My buddy who ones a V2 Ducat Penigale and he talks trash on my MT, yes his top end is faster but I keep right on rides. I don’t really care about above 100 mile an hour speeds I’m a single dad I have things to live for.

Bro please halp i m a new rider,what is better i buy this mt 07 or kawasaki Z650?

I have a 17 FZ-07 non-ABS. Never confused if for a Harley. I made some mods to the front suspension which really helped. I haven't ridden the new Honda or Suzuki to know how they compare. I haven't even seen one yet. If they are like the other bikes they make I may see one in about five years.

I had a 2015 fz07 for 2 years and sold it this past march. I didn’t like how unrefined the build quality and suspension felt. Although it was fun at first because of the torque, it was a choppy, bouncy bike. I could definitely see someone enjoying it for wheelies and stunting, but for cruising around and spirited riding, I just didn’t like it enough to keep it after 2 years. Does anyone share my experience?

Excellent!!! I've been riding for 34 years now. I've owned several Japanese motorcycles. Yes, it's my high preference in terms of motorcycles, and Yamaha is my favorite company. I remain open-minded and I'm not "hardened" to this brand but... I have a strong natural tendency for Yamaha. It's my choice and I'm saying it here as an experiment, because for the number of Yamaha bikes I've had in the past and still have today, I remain loyal to this brand. They are artists, outstanding motorists. They have and continue to innovate (the design of their "CP" is fantastic!). So, in closing, I wish long life to your channel and I wish you to continue your good work by informing with truth, your tests.

Great review and commentary Thoroughly like listening to this guy

Buying my first new bike on Saturday. You convinced me to get an MT07. and upgrade from my ninja 250 that I passed the msf course on with flying colors.

First time rode mt07 yesterday for my driving license classes i was able to do anything with this bike in first minutes. Everything feels great. really fun to ride

I am about to pull the trigger on the MT-07. Any known reliability issues?

You always drive the mt07 in the countryside and the outskirts of cities and praise it, we want an experience inside the cities, traffic and narrow streets

I recently crashed my VFR, and have been riding two MT07s from the driving school i work at. The 2016(35kw), and a 2023(55kw). I have ridden a lot of bikes, but none that fun as a package. Was planning on buying some sort of a cruiser, but seriously thinking of getting a MT07...

Which exhaust is on your mt 07? Sounds great!

I want to get a used one soon, any suggestions?

Hey, awesome video. I wanted to ask if someone of my dimensions rides this bike and how does it feel? I'm about 188cm tall and about 130-140kg. Thanks

I’ve been thinking about upgrading to an MT07 from my DRZ400SM. I bought the DRZ as my first bike two years ago, and it’s fun, but it’s getting too slow for me. I hate not having the power to pass two cars on a two lane road when I’m stuck behind them.

Weighs as much as my CBR1000RR 😮and my rear is upgraded torqued fa days, But so glad you liked the MT07 Yamaha Davidson CycleCruza #1🎉😮

what would be better as a first bike? duke 390 or mt 07?

i just test rode a gsx-8s for a weekend and have to say, that the bike ist far more superior over my mt-07. the suspension is so much more stable and better and the grunt low tourque is at least even. the only downside is the higher price in my opinion, but you get a preinstalled quickshifter/blipper which is best in class for this category, a good tech pack and the sound the gsx-8s makes, when you ramp up the gears with the quicky is really good and emotional. dont get me wrong, i love the mt-07 to the bottom of my heart, but the bike doesnt aged well the last 2 years. hope yamaha will upgrade to a better suspension, a little bit more tech and keep the motor like it is. suzuki and honda did a great job with the new generation of 700ccs and iam excited about the future for yamaha 😁

Can't believe you still have this bike? Thought it would have been long sold by now and have already gone through 2 other bikes

Is the Canadian wildfires affecting your area? Doesn't seem like there is a lot of smoke.

Have you done a test ride on the Harley Pan American?

I'm hoping someone makes an even lighter, less powerful, retro version of the MT-07. Hopefully Yamaha makes an XSR400 with a 270 degree crank. That would be the perfect bike for me. I love my KLX300SM, but I'd greatly prefer a more comfortable seat, less vibration, and just a little more power.

What about the frony suspension? I wanna buy one but the suspension weak makes me doubt..

i'm am old dude and still get carded. Love my simple 1996 Honda Nighthawk. I get more compliments on this bike than any other bike I have owned, in the 52 years I have been riding.

I trained on one and loved almost everything about it. All except the forks and indicator switch. And I hear the forks are pretty easy to fix 🤔

Im looking a my first bike and im convinced i want a 2021 or newer mt07. The engine and the aftermarket for it seem compelling.

Totally agree! Owned mine from new since last October, 10k miles on it already, and the season has just begun! I’m a new rider, and I didn’t want to buy a smaller bike, to upgrade from! This fits me well, and helped me pass my test first time out the door! Love my ugly bike! 😂😂

The bottom end grunt sounds good and the MT 07 has that torque action baby!! I'd like to go to the dealership and test it out first..LETS.GO FOR A RIDE!!

Best sounding bikes CP2 & CP4 own MT-10 SP and my bro has the MT-07 great vid btw 👌

Hell yeah,I love this bikes line uo,I watched moto jujitsu an he just a mt 07,I'm new at riding still,I'm looking at a 150cc currently bit have come across the Mt 03 myself, an for me also uses I was thinking of a ktm duke 390 or the 890,so many choices but I do love this bike looks an sounds an the headlights looks like eyes an a face bro it looks mean,an now thst I've heard your after market exhaust, damn,that's nice,yeah I also love the Ducati monster line up as well

This was some dope truth, genuine shit! I love your review!! Honest and to the point. Excellent and I'm glad I discovered your channel. Good stuff!!!

if your bike has to many electronics its a problem,this bike has what it needs adn thats why ppl love it

MT-07 owner here. had it 9 moths.. I will always have one of these bike in my garage. wheelie machine, canyon machine, city machine. it does everything you could ever realistically need. 130mph top speed. pretty accurately described in this vid.

Talk Brothe I have one '22-MT 07 Yamaha Blue and wow no regrets never.👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽💯 People look at the spec & features sheet but has never had the opportunity to experience the ride appreciate the intentions of what the Yamaha created.

Tested these bikes. They are the Coca-cola of standard bikes. They're just good. Yamaha doesn't have to hype this line. The MT-07, 09 and even 03 deliver wonderful engine thrust for the displacement and light weight. They also feel like riding a real bike. Not a primative bike that beats you up, but a simple direct feel bike. I'm currently on a Honda with 50k (all mine) and figuring its death is coming...thus I'm looking. I doubt I'll ever buy a bike that's not a twin so the 07 is the thing. If Yamaha would take the MT motors to other designs they sell like the retro 400 and the learner cruiser they still sell then they'd be beating Honda, Suz and Kaw in sales.

I had this and it was a nice bike but I sold it. Now I'm getting ready to pick up a 2023 xsr900 I bought. Can't wait for the fun.

About to get my license in August. This is actually the bike I'm thinking about getting

You sound like Joel olsteen when you start talking all passionately about bikes haha

I have a 2017 FZ07 (same as the MT07) same thing just renamed. Anyway I paid 9k for a bike with less than 1000 miles. The guy who owned it originally put a Corbin leather seat on, de-restrictor plate for full 100% throttle, full akrapovic exhaust and a tune. And I added woodcraft handlebars for a more aggressive riding position. The bike never dissatisfies

Why not Duke 790? I think you heared that many times, but I am curious to know your opinion.

What happened to your cbr1000rr?

I want it now! Problem where I live it´s almost impossible to find a reliable mechanic.

I love my 2021 mt07. I have a budget exhaust, tune and the airbox lid opened and foam filter upgrade and she rips. Even with cheaper exhaust, it sounds amazing. As well, some find the front end a bit too much like a pogo stick (i did) and can be fixed with a little work and different fork oil. Fixed it right up and feels way more stable, or planted now.

I own a 2019 MT 07 which I bought used. It only had 700 miles on it. No I used to have a high speed 1400 ninja and nowadays I enjoy being a hooligan on my twin cylinder with all the torque!

Do you have a db killer installed ?

Year of that one?

I did ride an mt-07 with the riding school in the begining when i was about to get my licence and then later on they sold them and got the bmw 750 instead but even that bike was to small for me, me being 6,5 so ende up with a ducati multistrada 1200s as my first bike and it is amazing.
