I got rid of my 17' Tuono V4 1100 Factory for a 19' YZ450FX supermoto and having the most fun ever. Imo, smaller lightweight torquey bikes are the most fun on the street. Liter bikes are overrated on the street, they are better suited for the track where you can have proper fun on them without the law bothering you.

How much cheaper is insurance? I have a Kawasaki 650 that's $140 year, when i was looking at supersports and supernakeds they were like $2k+. In my 30's, clean driving record, no tickets/accidents (in the last 10 years).

You're a smart kid. I've been riding for 20 plus years. Had everything from Harley's to supernakeds, including a 2015 FZ09, I currently ride a 2017 Ducati Scrambler Classic, very similar to your FZ07. 75hp, light, flickable puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. I completely agree with you these type of bikes make way more sense on the street. Great Video, ride safe my friend.

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 love big hp bikes, but my 690 SMCR is usually out of the garage more than the Tuono.......

"Do you, boo boo". I ride an MT 07. Love your bike man. If a bike makes you happy and gets you out riding, that is the bike for you! Have fun riding this season!

The MT-07/FZ-07 is my dream bike. Love the way it’s looks and sounds and it’s easy to ride. Absolute beast. Stay safe my guy 🙏

I think your FZ 07 looks perfect. You just did everything right. Clean. Beautiful. Nice work. You've got a great eye. Nice job man.

I feel you bro. I have a 2019 mt 09. I honestly miss my dirt bike. It’s a blast riding a slow bike fast. Then a fast bike fast right into unseen tragedy.

I’ve often thought of going from a sports bike down to a mt07 aswell. It’s soo true what you say. I’m bored of having to go fast to have fun!!!. Great video 👍🏼

Recently jumped from a big triple (Triumph Daytona) to this bike's brother (Yamaha XSR700) and couldn't be happier. Made the leap for the exact same reasons - glad to hear you're liking it!

I totally agree with you as far as having fun on a smaller bike is concerned. For years I also thought the next bike always has to bigger and faster than the previous one. But then one day realized I did not enjoy riding anymore. My Kawasaki Z800 felt too heavy and was not cornering well. I preferred riding my bicycle over the Kawa for two seasons and then made the decision to let it go. I sold it and got myself a Ducati Monster 797 with „only“ 75hp. That was in 2017 and I couldn’t be happier and still have a big smile on my face every time I ride it. Greetings from Germany!

Totally agree! Nice review! I did the same thing from FJ09 down to SV650, except I’m 6.1’ and take it for some track days too. Enjoy and ride safe!

Having fun is the only thing that matters. If a bike makes you happy then it´s the right bike. I have a lot of bikes on/off road some with tons of power and some with almost no power. But they all put a smile on my face for different reasons. Ride fast and safe dude!

Hell yeah I love my fz07! If you send it hard enough it has no trouble keeping up with the bigger bikes on twisties and backroads, and the sound it makes is just amazing.

ShakeNBake your riding strategy is 100% right! FZ07 is a real world fun bike to be fully enjoyed. 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

Perfect timing on making the video. I was just about to message you about how you felt about the 07 vs the 09. Answered all my questions.

Agree bout that sound. I know tons of guys typically rave about that supersport inline four scream, but personally, I just find it all a bit bland or lacking much character. I have a Ninja 650, probably the quietest bike ever! haha, so I replaced the stock exhaust with a full system SC Project setup and dude, it truly made the bike come to life. Ya I’m missing out on those two extra cylinders of power, but part of the great thing of motorcycling is just how personal and subjective of an experience riding can be. Not ragging on those that like the inline four sound by any means, to each their own. Enjoy the ride everyone! 😎

I have been going back and forth between the 2 of these bikes as I plan to purchase 1 in the next month. You might have saved me some money here man. Wanted the extra power but the way you explained this makes a lot if sense. I'm the same build as you sooo thank you very much for your insight mayne.

I just downgraded from an R1 to a Z650 so I completely relate to this. The most fun I ever had on the road was on 600's so I deicded to step back to it. And I have no regrets. The Z650 is insane fun, handles so well in corners but has enough power for the straights and love just wringing its neck its perfect. Looking forward to some tours on it later this year. At the end of the day its all about having fun. :) Great video man.

I totally get it! It isn't a downgrade at all! You have way more usable power and every time you accelerate you can do it way longer than on a bike with more power. In january have my license since january and first only rode a powerfull bike with the riding lessons. Last week I rented a 48hp Z900 (I live in the Netherlands and therefore am limited the first 2 years to 48hp). Icould keep up with my dad riding a 1200cc 116hp Triumph. Had to shift way more often but that made it even more fun. Congrats on your new bike, would love to own a FZ07 one day!

I get what you're saying, I have a '15 FZ-07 and I love it, mostly for the engine and it's nimbleness. One of my favorite bikes ever (when I was younger/smaller) was my first bike, a Yamaha DT 100. That peppy little engine and it's weight made it a super fun bike to ride. A 125 or 250 enduro would be a lot of fun at my size now, I may get a good used one to haul in the back of my truck when I go up to northern Georgia/Tennessee area to ride on their fire roads through the mountains. That would be awesome I think. Careful where you do wheelies. Be safe!

The FZ-07 was my first bike 4 years ago and I loved it. You are making some very good points. I sold it for the 09, sold that for my current BMW S1000R. I love my Bmw sooo much, but if I could afford to have a 2nd bike, the MT07 would be a top choice. Good for you B!! 🥳

I think, even back in those days when you were riding the Street Triple and the FZ-09, you were secretly in love with your buddy, Kameron's FZ-07. 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!

Whatever makes you happy man, good for you brotha!

I had so many comments, DM's, FB messages, asking why I traded the fz09. I hope this video answered some of your questions.

As an 09 owner I admit the 07 looks better without that banana seat, and I'll admit there are days I want to wring it out too without hitting 100. But I love my 09 with a full Lextek exhaust though because it's deep and rumbly under 5k rpm, but has that sweet triple sound in the higher revs.

I have owned a CBR900 and a GSXR600...I did a ton of research on what bike to get next and I couldn't deny what people said about the FZ/MT07. It is a super fun bike and I love that I can rip on it and feel like I am actually taking the bike to its limits...I couldn't do that on the others. I fully support your desision and I personally love the white wheels with the red. Keep doing you and ride to live ✌😁👍

I have the 2018 mt07 and im in love with the sound of that bike...and the tork is amazing

Thats all that matters, “you” having fun! All of us have different preferences, like for example like me, I ride a 100 km daily so I need a bike that would suit the purpose and have fun. Find out what my ride is and you’ll be surprised.

Exactly. Less power = more real-world fun. It seems only a few riders come to realise this. So thanks for pointing it out.

These points had to be made !! And u made a great video-well done ,sir !

I rida a MT-07 and i have never felt the need to upgrade. I like the makeover! Stay Safe!

Totally agree. Had a heap of different bikes (Nightrod, GSXS-1000, DR650, Speed Triple) and my MT-07 has given me more smile factor than any of them. Mostly due to the exhaust note and ease of wheelies 😆

Dude I went from a LOADED 2016 GSXR 750 to a 2018 MT07. That GSXR had 8k in mods and work at least. I used to go 160 on it every day during my commute to work. That'll catch up to you eventually. I'm too young to be doing that and risking my life that much every day. That's why I decided to get the MT. My MT07 is plenty quick, sounds good, gets good gas mileage and is 1/4 the price to insure. I hope you enjoy it the way I do bro🤙🏼

Dude you summed up riding on the road perfectly. I've been riding for 20 years and in recent years, the lower powered bikes have proved waaaaaay more fun. 790 Duke is an absolute hoot compared to the RSV1000 I had. Night and day difference in fun factor. I test rode a Z1000 and a Z800 and went for the 800, and even that feels too fast now (90mph in 2nd!) I want an MT07!

Looks like you have an upgraded front suspension on the 07, that will make a world of difference for that bike.

As long as your happy man! 🙌🏼

I rented one of these in Singapore, and it was a blast . AWESOME wheelie machine and great in traffic.

The best is both!! I had an r6, sold it to get a Grom. LOVE the Grom but eventually I added an fz09 to the collection and it's perfect!!!!

Switched from a cbr600 to a 1200 sportster. Waaaay slower, but waaay more fun lol. People need to stop looking at the numbers a bike puts out and really consider what they want and need to do with it. Thanks for sharing. Shout out from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🤟🏼

I understand you, got a friend who have a cfmoto 650 and I was surprise by how fun it is to trash the thing clutchless until 6th gear without any fear to loose it like my mt09

I feel you bro. I came from an R6 and switched to an mt07 last summer. Best call in a while. Why? Because I'm still awaiting a court date for riding double the speed limit. It's just not worth the fun or danger. Edit: typo

I understand completely because, back in August of 2014 when the Yamaha Demo Days truck came to town, I test rode both the FZ-09 and FZ-07. 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.

Makes sence! Ride safe, have fun!

Made a lot of valid points. I’m on the fence with the fz 07 and cb650r. Might go with the Honda as that 4 cyl sounds amazing.

I own a xsr900 and was thinking of down grading to a xsr700 for many of the same reasons you mention. Although you left out the savings in insurance. It was just a thought and has passed. I'm still on a 900 and happy. That is what it's all about right. So ride on!

I had an 07 for 2 1/2 years, for the last year I had both the 09 and 07. Gotta agree with everything you said. 07 definitely has a better sound and is more playful/fun around town. It was lacking on the interstate, a little buzzy and loud at 75mph but incredible around town. I’m 6’1” 210 and I did feel a little cramped after a couple hours. I sold the 07 last summer and now have a Road Star to go w/the 09. I do miss the sound and feel of the 07 but feel like I made the right choice for me.

I appreciate this video. My friend totaled my 803cc Scrambler Cafe Racer. JUST got the 1200 S Monster (6 days ago).... the Monster has way more power suited for the track than how I use for streets. The 2019 Scrambler Cafe Racer was perfect for the road, for my size (5'6"), and very usable/light. I miss my Scrambler - the Monster is fun, but at times..... too much/loud with Termignoni exhaust

Smart decision man. I had a z900 and I was bored you know. Now I’m planning to get a fz07.

It is refreshing to hear from someone younger not getting caught up in the power trap just going bigger and bigger. It makes so much sense to choose the bike that works for you and your riding, you are bang on the smaller bike can be awesome fun and i understand the joy of being able to hold full throttle in windies when others have to hold partial or they'll overspeed. I ride a ducati monster 659 right now and going to an mt09 due to being a big guy and just needing that bit more grunt right now (and i love wheelies and the 659 is not cutting it) but the risk of speeding too much is going to be a challenge.

I recently did the same thing for the same reason. I "downgraded" from an FZ-10 to a Hypermotard 939SP. More fun at lower speeds, I break the laws less, except for wheelies, but then I was doing that on the FZ-10 as well, just faster. And with the higher center of gravity on the Hypermotard, I don't have to go into turns anywhere near as fast to get "that feeling" when you are cornering. I thought that I was the only one making this move though. Some of my friends think I'm nuts, or scared, but they have no idea what they are missing.....

They’re both dope bikes. Different power delivery, and even though they’re similar, i think they’re very different in terms of use and power delivery.

Between my gsxr750 and my Triumph SpeedTriple 675, I love my 675. It’s a better riding position, the power delivery actually growls when it digs in, and it’s a unique looking bike. The triple is a lot more fun for street riding than a four.

Couldn't agree more. I sold my Speed Triple due to habitual speeding. Once I sell my R1200 ST I'll be getting a MT-07 or a XSR 700. It's got all the torque I could want and after 30 years of riding, torque is all I want.

The white wheels are awesome. I own an MT07 and am thinking about those wheels! I’m 5’ 10” and 235lb and love squirting around on such a light bike.

I was thiking on upgrading my Yamaha Tracer 700 (dunno if available on the states, but basically an Fz07with some farings for better touring), because i was "no longer scared" of using the full throttle, i knew exactly how it would respond, tried the fz09 in sport mode and was like "omg, this is cool!" and was thinking on upgrading, but after i saw your video... I "feel you", I think of it and being able to use the all the throttle and know how much throttle i am using and how much I need to use is actually a good thing bot a bad thing. I have car background and totally agree on driving slow cars fast being way funnier that fast cars slow 60mph will seem fast on a slow car, and slow on a fast car. Also i dont need more speed, my bike has all the speed that I need. Now i am more turned into having something a bit more "offroadier" if I need to, since mine is good for everything i need, but not for offroad, and if i mod it to it (like someguys do) it will be crap for touring and such. In resume, thanks for the video, you did opened my eyes on something that was right in front of me and i could not see!

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.

To each their own! Do you brother! (FJ09) love it!!!

I have an 2016 FZ07. I love it. The white wheels are nice. It needed to be a little brighter. People can't see you well when the bike is so dark. I have the grey with yellow wheels, and I put LED lights underneath. I work night shift, so now they can see me.

One of my friends did the same thing 😎😎i just love the way it feel much better for the road 🏍🏍

Love the white wheels, I had white wheels on my GSXR600 and they looked so fresh!

My 2020 MT07 just got delivered a couple weeks ago and I'm very happy with it. Except from adding some axel/side/bar end protectors its all stock. Hoping to upgrade the exhaust at some point though

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 👍🏻

But yea I’m over the moon to get this bike it’s been 3 years since I sold my R3 😂 that’s whittle baby bike compared to what I’ll be on in a month or so.

in about 4 years i can get an FZ07 i cant wait till i can get one bc the sound and all that is so sick and the way you sit on it is comfortable from what i have heard

who needs to go faster than a 100! i agree 100% just got a versys 650 its got torque and more touring position for seating i wanna ride out west from michigan

Hello sir.. pardon me for my not so good English. How is it to ride in Michigan? Is it safe? I am from Asia, I have a 250 here I am a motorcycle guy and travel 98% on my motorcycle. What will be the procedure to get motorcycle license there to ride motorcycles from any class? Too many questions, I guess. Give your inputs if you don't mind. Thank you:) I might move to Michigan (Troy).

Got a 2019 MT07 as my first bike. Still think about upgrading to an 09 but I will say the only time I ever feel slow is when I ride with my buddy who has the MT09.

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.

White wheels, yes or no?

The black wheels looked a bit more agressive imo but the white wheels look pretty fucking awesome as well.

No. It went from somewhat aggressive looking, to Sunday driver looking.

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.

Meanwhile I downgraded from my fz09 to a Tuono V4 1100... 😂

Tuono 1100 is the best naked out there but just test riding it made me do stupid things, rather staying with the 650

and I upgraded from a 17' Tuono V4 1100 Factory to a 19' YZ450FX supermoto! I'm living lavida loca! For the street, smaller torquey bikes are more fun.

Bikes like the Tuono are only fun after 90mph. They're dull at legal speeds. That's the trouble with most stupidly powerful bikes. I've had a boat load of bikes and felt all sorts of power levels. I still have the most fond memories of my old SV650.

@@exothermal.sprocket Now that I think about it, you're actually right. My friend has the 2018 Tuono V4 and it's a great machine! It glides through turns, has plenty of horses, and feels great to ride. I was barely able to use 40% of its power (this actually kind of bothered me LOL). If I were to own that bike, my license would be suspended within a week... You get comfortable riding fast very quickly. I personally believe the mid-weight naked's like the MT-09, Street Triple RS, and the 890 all offer the perfect amount of power. But my philosophy will always remain the same: We only live this life once so get whatever your heart desires and be happy!

I couldnt agree more. Im taking my licence veginning of this summer and i’ve been looking for a mt-07. The dealerships are full of MT-09s but finding a decent priced MT-07 is hard. Only downside i’ve heard about the 07 is the suspension but theres lots of mods for that.

Trust me your reasoning is perfect. I can see why you changed out from the fz-09. I just upgraded to a MT-10 from a MT-07. For the same reasons as you but I’m just 6’3 and 220lbs. I do feel better on the MT-10 not gonna lie. The torque is the best part of riding not top speed that’s why I would never want a Sportbike, plus there just uncomfortable AF. The MT-07 was a great first bike for me loved every second shifting and down shifting every chance I could.

100 agreed on just the joy of riding and not having to speed. BTW you sound just like an RE( royal enfield) rider. Just the joy of riding

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

The Perfect FZ-07! 😍

Sounds like you are liking it a lot more. I traded my CB650 for a Ninja 400 because I had a ton more fun on the 400. Just like the two you had, it wasn't much slower just didn't have all the top end you can't use without winding up on Dirt Bike Lunatic's channel. Keep it up.

I own both an 18 MT-09 and a 16 FZ-07 and I must say my MT-09 is a great bike for when I’m feeling reckless and not having a care in the world. My FZ-07 is a perfect bike if I just want to cruise around and have a little fun
