Yep, a lot of people are gravitating towards the more sensible bikes that are fuel economic, light, multi-purposed, etc. I myself, after owning 2 sport bikes, am looking at a 2019 triumph street scrambler or KTM 790 adventure r for my next bike. They’re more versatile, comfortable, handleable, and can go off road. It’s the freedom that us riders want, and a sport bike is restricted to the street where as a good adventure bike can deliver adventurous spirit.

I rode the FZ-09 first, and while that was OK, it felt a lot like the seven 4-cylindered bikes I'd had in the past. It just didn't do it for me. Then came the ride on the FZ-07. Man, that was more like it for me. Excellent power delivery, light, maneuverable, and it sounded very good as an added bonus. The bike was WAAAAAYYY more fun than the FZ-09, I felt. Two days later, I bought my brand-new 2015 FZ-07 (in red) and enjoyed that bike for 3-and-a-half-years.

Only 'downside' of the WR450, is it does wheelies like no other which is bad for your drivings license.

I get why you got an MT07. I had a MT07 and I tried an MT09sp and it didn’t draw me in enough to change. A ktm 790 duke did a good year or so later however. Think it’s similar ethos. Punchy twin and light weight that can be chucked around both bikes are smiles for miles. I would say overall the KTM just edges out the box. However some massive things I miss and love about my old MT07. The sound of that CP2 engine is one of the best sounding engines out there. The initial grunt and low down grunt of the MT07 is something else. Let’s not forget price of these things either they are so much fun for the money. At start of this year I had a Mt07 and an R6 which was mainly for track. I sold R6 to free up some cash for my honeymoon. It was great on track but hated it on road which saw the bike not getting much use. I like yourself fancied a change. I wanted a bike that could commute one day and track day the next. The MT07 would of been good enough for this just the allure of electronics and the slight increase in power drew me to the KTM duke 790. Love the KTM it fits the bill. Part of me wishes Yamaha would do an MT07-SP not all us riders want 150bhp plus bikes. I said when I sold the MT07 it wouldn’t be my last one and despite my love for my new KTM if I could find some spare money I’m year or two time I’ll look to get an xsr700 so I can enjoy a cp2 engine again but this time in a retro style package. You’ve gained a new sub. Hope you enjoy the MT07 and look forward to seeing upcoming videos on your adventures 👍🏻

I completely agree with your argument, I have been riding 45 yrs, the biggest bike I owned was a Multistrada 1000 but that was for touring Europe 2 up. I followed that (after totaling it....oops!) with a 650 single for nearly 5 yrs and have just bought an XSR700. Sometimes a bike can be intimidating but there is a "goldilocks" value for power and weight and really "less is more" to certain degree, especially if you have lots of power but are scared to use it all, then it's just a dead-weight.

It doesnt matter what kind of car or bike you have. The only way a vehicle can be bad is if it doesnt put a smile on your face and from the sound/looks of it, it definitely make you happy and that's literally all that matters.

Your white wheels look great and all the mods you have done give your bike a fresh look with clean lines. Bar none best looking FZ07 I have ever seen ! Performance wise get your front suspension sorted out and get the power chip reflashed and you are gold. Thanks for posting this video. Cheers

Yeah I feel the "obligated to speed" thing. I love my busa I really do and will always keep it. But I need a 2nd bike, something fun and light. The busa is just too fast for the street to be an only bike. Theres boxes not checked off for my enjoyment of riding. I'm 6'4" 240 so I hope I'm not too big for the mt07. That's the other factor in bike choice is my size

Kept them both in my garage to see which one I would go for in the long run. I never touched the Honda again... So be careful when testriding bikes! The CB650R is still a very good bike. Be careful with the surface on wheels and enginecovers though. Easy to scratch with the chainlock...I know!

I remember sometimes I watched your videos just to see his bike. Last year I finally bought my FZ-07. I've been in enjoying every bit of that bike ever since. I'm really happy for you, man! FZ-07 is such an awesome bike. Even though white rims are not my thing, I've always liked the look of your 09. Your 07 is no exception. Don't worry whether we like the look of it or not. Just do what you like bro. It's your freaking bike. That's how I do mods to my bike. Enjoy and ride safe, bud!

My first bike was a brand new 2012 Ninja 250R. I could twist the shit out of the throttle and would not exceed the speed limit that much. Banging through all the gears. It was a lot of fun but had to upgrade. Got the 2017 FZ-07 ABS in red. LOVE IT!!! When I first rode it i accidentally pulled a couple power wheelies because I was used to my ninja. The FZ07 is a perfect bike for those that want to have fun rather than going the fastest possible. I ride 15mins to work in Orlando Florida... The torque is perfect for a busy city.

Just picked up an FZ-07 as an upgrade from my Ninja 300, the 07 is definitely NOT slow! I mean sure, it's not as fast as a litre bike, but from what I can tell already the 07 is still capable of going way faster than necessary for public roads. I don't really have plans to upgrade any further. This level of power is exactly what I wanted.

I went from an R1 to a dragster800 and I am so in love with the MV. 200hp to 140hp and I’d do it 10 out of 10 times. When I was on the R1 I’d break the speed limit in 1st gear... on the MV Agusta I can wind through the gears and drag a knee and redline and just really enjoy every aspect of the bike. When I was young I wanted a liter bike bc big dick that’s why. And nothing is wrong with that, the R1 was an amazing machine. But the MV has unlimited smiles per gallon when it comes to me and my riding style. That’s the key, YOU and YOUR riding style is what’s most important. If you wanna do 180mph then get a liter bike, if you wanna be loud but comfortable, get a Harley, if you want radio and AC get a goldwing. If you want thrilling and nimble and fun, go with a smaller bike

Hate the white wheels, and yes, I hated them on the FZ09 too. I do prefer the sound of the FZ07 over the 09 all day everyday. But... If I'm honest, You need to switch the the M4 exhaust. There's such an amazing sound difference between the M4 and every other aftermarket exhaust for the FZ07! There's really no comparison. That being said: I like the FZ07! I always have. It's a great bike for anyone. I wish the styling was a little more aggressive but thats just me. I disagree with you on one thing though: I know that the FZ07 can't keep up with the 600 series of super sport bikes in the twisties. At least not in the Adirondacks. Been there, done that. I've even tried it myself on a friends FZ07. If the 600's stay in lower gears, it's no contest. If the 07 stays in lower gears, it tends to lift the front wheel a little too much under acceleration, resulting in it not being able to come out of corners as fast. If the 07 stays in higher gears, it doesn't accelerate fast enough, resulting in it not being able to come out of corners as fast... The FZ07 just isn't made for racing. It's a little Hooligan bike, and that's what it dominates at. It's not as balanced as super sports... But that's exactly what people love about it! The friend who's FZ07 I road in the Adirondacks, he downgraded from an R1 and has had zero regrets.
@1up_doug4 жыл бұрын
sounds to me like you have a rider error if you cant keep up or pass 600s in the twisties. and i dont mean that from a disrespect standpoint but i own an a 17' FZ07 with the M4, flash, airbox, cut spacer in the front shocks and a thicker oil, a subcage but it only weighs 3lbs extra. I ride at NJMP every weekend and i put a hurting on some r6's. Only get up to 110 in the back straight and with a decent pad i can out brake most heavier sportbikes and and get just as much lean angle. im only 5'7 and 120lbs, and if you know how to roll into its power the front end lifting is never an issue. Lighten the engine brake and you have urself a very unsuspecting track bike. only downside ive found is the 3.75 gallon fuel tank forces for some extra fuel stops if you are really getting on it.
