If you're taller make sure you give the SV650 some consideration. You can find them in great shape for $2,500-$3,000 often with less than 10,000 miles. My 07 is great around town but I get cramped on longer rides. It's a compact bike

loved your review and subscribed. i have a 2016 fz-07 as well and i do not find the transmission clanky. i find neutral easy and it shifts beautifully and smoothly. had an fz-09 and sold it because i hated the throttle by wire. the fz-07 is throttle by cable. so much smoother and not at all twitchy. keep up the great job.

I just bought this exact model for my first bike. Thanks for the video, looking forward to more!

loved the refreshing point of view on the bike.

I ignored the armor grey and fluorescent yellow color scheme because I assume thats a nightmare to keep clean. I previously had a car with white wheels...(never again!)

I used to really want to motovlog until youtube became super over saturated, then I got into mountain biking, and now that's getting over saturated 😂 although I will say it's a lot easier to not only meet mtb youtubers but a lot of us travel around and you can ride with and hang out with just about any of them as long as you're not a total weirdo lol a few local buddies and I do group stuff a lot, as of lately. Anyway, yeah dude you seem to do a good job being more of the traditional motovlogger rather than all these clickbaiting shitposters these days. I pretty much only watch Do It With Dan now days, as far as motovlogs. And a little JTGS.

I got a 2016 FZ-07 after Christmas and have 3,000 miles on it now. After almost 30 years without a bike I thought there just aren't any reasons not to get one now. I made the choice entirely by sitting on different bikes and watching videos. The 07 is a great bike around town and in the twisties but catches to much wind for long interstate rides or runs up over 100mph. That said, it is a naked bike or UJM and that's what they are all about anyhow. It pulls hard enough below 50mph to keep just about everyone happy but starts to run out of beans around 90mph with top end just north of 120. My only complaints about the bike are. 1 It's compact. Almost supermoto feeling. I love it and it's what makes it so fun in the turns but I'm 6'2" @ 215lbs and after about an hour I start getting cramped. This bike seems perfect for smaller riders. 2. It's buzzy. Sometimes my right hand goes numb. Especially on colder days. This is a machine a rider of any experience level would enjoy riding. I would say it is at the maximum end of beginner bikes. It has plenty of power to get you in trouble yet just feels perfect below 75mph. Transmission shifting is greatly improved in all bikes by using synthetic oil. Just make sure it's JASO / wet clutch rated.

I love this bike, and color wise (IMHO) it's the best looking FZ of them all. This was my first bike, and coming home from the dealer, I got it to 120 mph. Since I had never been on a motorcycle before, I chicken out at 120 mph, but it felt amazing.

HI-VIZ SMILEY, THANK YOU!! I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU SINCE YOU BOUGHT THIS BIKE. I HAD A VERBAL AGREEMENT WITH A DEALER ON A KILLER DEAL FOR A 2018 Z900.

This is a great review. I’ve watched a ton of FZ-07 videos, and test rode one at my local dealer and agree with much of the sentiment you share on this video. I’ve had other faster bikes before (R1 for 8 years) but an FZ07 is my next bike. Subscribed!

I like this review because you're telling mostly what you hate / dislike about the motorcycle, or where it would be lacking. I like that because any bloke who knows a TAD bit about motorcycles, already knows what the bike would be good at. Things like how you fit on the motor / what HP it has / fuel economy etc. Those things you can practically just search, even on the yamaha page. I like that what your saying, are the things that they don't tell you / don't want to.

Great review man, I whole heartedly agree, I have had mine for a couple of years, I have 2 other bikes, a KLR 650 and a Husky FE 350, the FZ 07 has that dual sport feeling to it, it feels light, the torque is great, it's such an easy bike to ride, I don't ever have to "adjust" to it after riding one of my dual sports, it always feels right, Yamaha did a great job with the motor, if they ever make a dual sport with this motor in it I am buying it, yea the transmission isn't the best but to me it's just part of the character of the bike. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.

Just subscribed. I have to agree with you about the choice you face when deciding which key to grab when you have 2 bikes. I got a 2014 Triumph Speed Triple, which I enjoy, and is a blast. But, for pure fun and relaxed riding, my 2016 FZ-07 will also usually get ridden more. It's lighter, more nimble, and has a more relaxed riding position. Don't get me wrong, the Speed triple is an absolute animal, but it's more of a "Sunday ride", if that makes any sense. I only have about 1300 miles on my 07, but it is an absolute joy to ride. You got to upgrade the exhaust... I put the M4 on, and man oh man, what fun!

The wait is killing me! Thanks for the comment man!

Finally a truthful review about this bike! Mine slams into first gear when it's warmed up. Everybody on the forums say it's normal though. My only other complaint is the choppy throttle due to the total fuel cutoff when letting off the throttle. Nothing an aftermarket ECU tune can't fix though. Also coming off a supermoto I didn't realise how far the seat slants towards the tank. The first few short stops I had to make it wasn't gentle on my jewels LOL. I've gotten more used to it and now I can prevent it.

A good tune will knock a lot od the twitchiness out of these, it seems to be a common problem across the FZ range for the most part. Engine braking is really useful and welcome in my opinion, however if you go the tuning route I did you can actually tune it out of the ecu.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just bought a 2018 mt-07 with abs, and I gotta say I absolutely love this bike. I think the throttle throw could be a little shorter, and it's a little twitchy in first gear between no throttle and that initial start of getting throttle. I'm used to Harley's, so first gear sounding like a small hammer inside the case never really seemed odd to me. The rear fender delete and integrated tail light are positively needed to complete the look of the bike. I also changed out the front turn signals to something less big and goofy. All in all for the price, this thing is a lot of value, and plenty of grinning under the helmet.

Thanks for the review! I think I'm pretty much decided on buying the same exact bike you have. I want that same color scheme, and I'll probably end up buying a model year old to save a few bucks, but I want to be the first owner. A week ago, I really didn't know what bike I wanted. I was planning to get a dual sport because I love trail riding. But I don't get many good chances for trail riding, so I changed my mind and decided to go full street for the first time. I grew up riding bikes that were too big and powerful for me, so I can handle pretty much anything I sit on. But I want to be really smart with this bike purchase. I don't want something overly powerful, but I definitely don't want something I'll get bored with either. I've ridden R6's and really didn't like the lack of torque. I'm also not in love with the idea of owning a straight up sportbike. Riding one? Sure, they're fun. Owning one to drive in traffic? Not so much. Considering all of that, and my size (6' 160lb), I think the FZ-07 is perfect for me, but I'll try to test drive a couple. Reviewers all seem to say that it has plenty of power unless you're some kind of speed junkie. It might not be the best at any one thing, but it's always fun. So excited, can't wait! Should be able to pick mine up sometime this month.

Drew Kosonen You've got it exactly right, for someone of your experience it will be a blast! To get the Armor Gray with the green wheels you'll have to get a 2016 model, that's the only year of that scheme as far as I know. Good luck on the purchase, ride one and I'm sure you'll be hooked!

Well, I pulled the trigger this weekend! Couldn't wait anymore. Ended up changing my mind and went with a Raven one. It was a really, REALLY tough choice. The armor gray is what drew me to the FZ's in the first place, and what brought me to that particular dealer because they had a 2016. But after seeing the black in person... my god it's beautiful. I'll gently nudge my brother toward a gray one when he buys his :D I brought it home on Saturday, just finished the 100 mile break-in tonight. I am so in love with that bike already. You were absolutely right, as soon as I test rode it, I knew I was making the right choice. Felt instantly at home, and none of the disappointment I felt the first time I rode an R6. Feels like exactly what's been missing from my life for the last 7 years. [continues to gush]

Thanks!

I also have a 250L (sumo conversion), and looking to add a second bike for longer trips and daily riding. Looking at the fz07, CBR650F, gsx-s750, Z650, or fz6r. Thanks for the video, helps my decision a bit.

Justin Awesome! I said that I would buy 17's the day I bought my CRF when i was looking years ago, and I've had it for three now and it aint happened yet. Still on my list though. Whichever you choose you'll be happy, a good naked bike complements a DS/sumo really well. Good luck homie!

I've had more Yamahas than any other bike, I can't knock them. But the shifting thing is the reason I bought the GSX S750.... Insanely smooth shifting!!

I can see it turning people off of the FZ. At least you got a fun naked still! Thanks for checking my vid and channel out!

Love the video bro; good honest review. I'm 6' 2" and coming from a Roadstar 1600; I have decided that I need a Naked Sport for these North GA mountains. If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you and how does the triangle feel? Thanks again.

You might be just a little cramped, but it may be just right. I'm 5' 10ish and it is just right for me It's much like my dual sport, just a tiny bit less leg room and bars a little closer to me. Thanks for the kind words my friend!

Thank you!!

I have a FZ 07 and it's my first motorcycle. It's a GREAT bike!!! As far as usable power, it's perfect. However, if you want to do insane speeds, it lacks.

Lol... know some one who says it's got excellent top end..😅 Booha,ha,ha... i mean ok....

Does this bike have different power modes for newer riders? I heard this is a great first bike and im thinking of getting it as a first bike, but it would be nice to start off in a lower mode and then as I get more confident can simply increase it.

0:30 ... beautiful machine... tomorrow i´m gonna buy one.

You didn’t buy one did you?

Your accent is awesome sir..😊 Thanks for the down to earth review, I hate the "journalist" reviews too..

Hi Viz I tried to increase my CO 1,2,&3 from my LCD. Couldn't get in. I'm pressing both buttons same time. Nothing happens. Help

Doesn't the lack of a windshield push you back hard ? I've never ridden a bike without a shield so I'm wondering.

i subscribed and liked within the first 5 seconds of the video just because of your accent i have one to as im also a fellow​ southerner as i am here in southern oklahoma just above the texas border but my accent is not as heavy

I really like this bike and have since it first came out. This is the best color scheme hands down in my opinion!! I'm thinking about getting rid of my 09 FZ6R, does that seem like a dumb move?? I appreciate your honesty with this review, thank you sir!!

+1 for the color, I absolutely LOVE it! I would ride one if I could just to compare the two bikes, even though it's an FZ it will be COMPLETELY different from yours. You'll most likely love the torque the 07 has compared to your 6. Anyways, thanks for the kind words man!

well done sir

Oh I agree, sometimes mine's a bit much. I've never heard anything as loud as mine this side of an old wore out Harley, but I suppose that just adds to the character haha

Thanks for the honest review. Would you recommend this for a new rider?

Absolutely. Albeit, with care because it's right at the upper level of what you'd want to start with, but with respect would be just fine.

That accent is so heavy and easy to understand, never heard anything like it

good review, but regarding torque monster honda nc750x puts 68nM at 4750rpm while FZ-07 at 6500 so nc750x is a real monster :) unfortunately power is a bit lacking.

The Bike looks like a Bumble Bee !
