Just spotted this video on the main feed, and all I can say is that is some impressive riding to say the least. I live in Wisconsin so I can't wait for spring to ride my new FZ-07.
Amazing riding. You really show off the FZ-07's capabilities. I bought one last year, put an Akrapovic Carbon pipe on it, and can't imagine loving a bike more. Was thinking of buying a second bike this year, but after seeing this, it would be a much better idea to improve my skills on the FZ-07. Cheers.
I have an MT-07, fantastic bike. This was some very cool riding, you made it look so easy taking them on the corners. Great rider great bike..Leave the rest behind.
Cool video :)! I have a Yamaha MT 07 to. Nice riding. That feeling when you are coming off the track is priceless. I know that feeling. It`s time for me to go track riding to. It`s a couple of years ago.
I was considering buying one until I saw this... That might be too much hell for me to control! Way to keep it between the lines as you lapped everyone multiple times, great video.
V10symphony I ended up going with a DRZ400SM. I found a really good deal on it and it's got enough 'go' for me to learn to ride in slow-mo until I can get the skills to go fast. :) 440 big bore, stage 1 HotCams, lotsa grunt, but geared for no top end. Suits me fine for the time being.
Looks lots of fun. Although other rider rides supersport seems to be not used to ride on the track (didn't twist so much even on the stretch). And you seems not to take serious time cutting line, but surprisingly you are fast on the stock tyre and shocks. Cheers
Hey man very nice skillz! i wish i could go head to head with you on my sprint st 955! that looks like soo much fun and a very good learning experience.
Have you done any mods to the suspension? I'm thinking of getting the bike, but heard some complaints about the front suspension. They did say it may have been because of a heavier rider.
Any mods on bike? Does stock one have enough ground clearance to no scrape? How are the tyres compared to other track bikes? Im looking for beginner bike for myself. I want daily, but would love to learn a bit more dynamic riding :p Got some racing exp with cars, but I want to try bikes next
Dude that's some nice riding! It boggles my mind on how you guys lean so much! Last time i tried it while learning the bike just toppled and i just stood there like a clueless kid whose candy got stolen. lol
+Rohit s leaning like that is only possible with speed you can't lean as hard going 30 mph as you can going 60, take it slow while you're learning, as you ride longer you'll eventually get the feel with what you can do and hopefully you wont have any spills where you can't stank up and look clueless.
Worst lowside for me though. I did understand that the speed was a little less but my tyre cross section wasn't that wide either. Does one need to attend a riding school of some sort to establish a set of fundamental "good habits" Curtis?
+Rohit s i wouldnt say its mandatory but a good teacher can get you there much more quickly and safely. its also great to be able to practice off a public roadway without middle aged women doing their makeup on the way to work in their 3 ton SUVs trying to run you off the road
Funny thing is i have commuted on a motorcycle for close to 8 years already. I havent taken up sport riding yet but recently i did get my Yamaha R3 and want to experience the track! and lol @ The SUV comment. Roads are congested as hell in my city so i err to the side of caution and ride safely be it in the city or the highway.
+Curtis Wood Yes true. Hard to ride with everybody else fucking off on the roads. Thats why i ride country back roads. Cant get the speed, but find some good curves.
+Tyler Jane Bronson Thanks, I was dragging the pins under the stock pegs earlier that day so I removed the pins. After that I was scraping the kickstand so I shaved it with a Dremel.
Awesome. This bike is ridiculous. It's up to the rider. It's a beast even stock . So much fun . Massive torch and corners are fun hit my pegs alot . Kind of scary. An awesome fun fast bike all around. Fast and fun. Awesome skills brother. Stay safe you are the man awesome
Is the bike stock? Are you on after market suspension and rear sets? If you are very nice and I'm gna get one. I've been wanting a do it all bike and your riding makes me think this bike has potential.
You're on sock tires??!!?? I've grown up with supersports (R6, R6 again, CBR600RR, ZX-6R) but recently got an FZ07 and have found it so much more fun and nimble in the corners. It's actually made me a much better rider, only took me 200 miles from new to completely get rid of the chicken strips and scrape a peg haha.
+V10symphony Cheers then. The only time I got mine to a track I had a hard time dealing with the monoshock. Rebound is way too lose and at every corner exit started pumping. I plan to have a new one in the next six months.
+Apex under heavy braking nose dive is serious accompanied by wobble. With suspension mods, rearsets and maybe clipons the bike would be a lot faster. Still lots of fun on the track stock.
Hey dude, awesome riding. I'm on a ninja 250. I'm 6 foot 1 inch tall. I look like a giraffe on the ninja. Would an MT-07 be the same? Too small for me?
You are one skilled rider on that bike. Looks like you out rode all the sizes of bikes. I have to tell you, i was scared as fuck, and im a skilled rider. That was a fun video to watch. i was thinking of getting the FZ1, but from this video it looks like that bike would be enough. When i see new riders tell other new riders to start out on this bike, it makes me not want one. If its so easy, makes me think im going to weak.
Great riding. Now, just think what you could have done if you'd been on a Buell Ulysses. Imagine all that torque as you came out of corners. Brilliant riding, though.
+Mark Ullyett I do not agree. The MT 07 has a torque you wont believe. You can have 200 hp. When there is no torque to get this power to the street, you it does not matter how high the number of your hp is. The higher your torque, the higher the actuel hp on your back wheel is. So the mt 07 can match with some 1000cc bikes
I'm asking the same question. Ride a GSXR 750 right now but i think ill have more fun on a FZ. I'm use to having power on the 750 but still dont know which one i should get
+Baxter Draughn noticed the throw on your throttle twist seems stock, i switched my throttle tube for the r6 tube and love it, no more twisting my wrist so far to hit WOT if you haven't already changed it by now its a great under 20$ fix.
+Baxter Draughn yea that long throw is tedious on the track, you can see how far im twisting. I got myself an R6 recently so im keeping this throttle tube on the fz, its easier to balance wheelies with this one.
ah i see, why get just the throttle tube when you can get the whole bike haha. and i did notice that about the wheelies, since doing the swap the throttle is a bit more violent when trying to keep bumping the front end up when your wheelie is falling. watching this video gives me a bit more confidence in the ability of the fz07s cornering capabilities...you were killin it on that track.
+Baxter Draughn yea, I'll just keep the fz-07 the way is. No matter what I do, I can't make it do something it wasn't designed to do. The fz07 doesn't have a ton of front end feel but it holds in the corners. The most crucial thing is to keep heat in the tires. Once those babies are hot, the bike is a different animal.
+Willians Barros mt07 is superior to the Er6n, The MT has the samebasic HP but it operates like a Vtwinj so the power comes in earlier. The MT is also way lighter than the ER. It also has a shorter wheelbase which makes it turn in quicker.
I'm waiting to order my MT07 (2016 year model UK) n this has just made it worse!! I WANT IT!! LOL.. no great video!! I know 'it's all about the rider' but that MT07 did more than 'keep up' ☺😎😜👍👍
Bike isn't the fastest but you will never get bored of the torque it produces and the power band of that inline twin. I still think this is the nicest sounding bike with an aftermarket pipe. It barks like hell!
+MightyMike MIKE yeah mate just nearly done 1000 miles on mine now, had the Akrápovic exhaust extra and obviously taken the baffle out lol...I LOVE it!! Vids on my channel ☺👍
Fz07 has a ton more potential than what people perceive! Great riding!
It does!
Was thinking about getting the 07 and wow after this I'm definitely going to get it. You have some serious skill man keep it up!
Get it. I bought bikes after the fz but I still keep it because it's a lot of fun.
+V10symphony hopefully we see some more videos of you man! Crazy skill on a bike!
Hahaha @ 12:50 "you're f**cking Valentino jr". AMAZING RIDING.
=) thanks
Man, I haven't raced in years. Can't even remember the last track day I was on but it sure brought a smile to my face, Cheers for sharing !!
this is probably the best video on youtube. this guy is talented.
Just spotted this video on the main feed, and all I can say is that is some impressive riding to say the least. I live in Wisconsin so I can't wait for spring to ride my new FZ-07.
dag dal gas!!

Could watch this all day long! Great riding!
Now that is a great vid, love the 07, have an 09.
+ray b thanks, both amazing machines!
i have an mt03 looking to upgrade . Have been wondering if i should go to 07 or 09 . What do u guys think ?
Same
dude i was closing my hands so hard while watching the video i had my nails marked on the palms. Amazing video. Keep Posting
You violated every bike on that track😱😱😱 now I just need to find a racetrack near me and release the beast
ums dos melhores vidos da mt07 eu adorei 😍😍
I have an MT-07, fantastic bike. This was some very cool riding, you made it look so easy taking them on the corners. Great rider great bike..Leave the rest behind.
Great riding! Seeing this I 'll take mine to the nearest track soon. It's fun, for sure!
A rear view camera would be AWESOME! You know like put it down there small on the right
this guy's a magician! sick riding
Excellent video!
More videos with the MT-07 Please!
+EmSurvive haha Im trying! its getting cold here in NY!!!!
+EmSurvive Ill keep posting. The bike is amazing...
+V10symphony which track were you on??
great vid...felt like i was on the bike...the competition with you and that gsxr was insane
+RT MOTO yea, I find myself leaning left n right while watching this!! Haha
Cool video :)! I have a Yamaha MT 07 to. Nice riding. That feeling when you are coming off the track is priceless. I know that feeling. It`s time for me to go track riding to. It`s a couple of years ago.
Nice vid. Anybody can go fast in a straight but everyone can break and turn. You showed ‘em what’s up. Good riding man.
That was exciting! nice, very nice...Makes me want to go ride my FZ07 now
judoguy33 I can't wait till it gets warmer in NY
I was considering buying one until I saw this... That might be too much hell for me to control! Way to keep it between the lines as you lapped everyone multiple times, great video.
+Stephen Alexander Get it. The power delivery is very controllable. A friend of mine got a 300cc 2 months ago now wishes he started on the fz07.
+V10symphony I have an FZ-07 and wow man....you can ride thing! I only have about 4k miles under my belt and hope I can smash like you some day =P

Great riding got my Fz-07 last year after I sold my Duck.and never looked back.Would love to be at that level of riding some day.Cheers;)
Thanks. Take your bike to the track, it's the best place to find her limits. Makes a better street rider as well.
+V10symphony love to but we have a lame track here.lol
Holy hell man. Awesome riding.
Nice video. You say mods are in the description but there is bare none. Could you tell us what tires you had on for this demonstration. Thank you.
awesome vid great riding
Hey man very nice skillz! i wish i could go head to head with you on my sprint st 955! that looks like soo much fun and a very good learning experience.
Have you done any mods to the suspension? I'm thinking of getting the bike, but heard some complaints about the front suspension. They did say it may have been because of a heavier rider.
Stock suspension. It's a bit soft but still tons of fun. You can always change the suspension if you'd like.
Nice! You got skills dude! Congrats!
Thanks
have you done any modifications to the bike, engine whise and tires?
Any mods on bike? Does stock one have enough ground clearance to no scrape? How are the tyres compared to other track bikes?
Im looking for beginner bike for myself. I want daily, but would love to learn a bit more dynamic riding :p
Got some racing exp with cars, but I want to try bikes next
great riding
oh yeah and phenomenal riding there mate! 👊
+Chris MotorLife Thanks
Dude that's some nice riding! It boggles my mind on how you guys lean so much! Last time i tried it while learning the bike just toppled and i just stood there like a clueless kid whose candy got stolen. lol
+Rohit s leaning like that is only possible with speed
you can't lean as hard going 30 mph as you can going 60, take it slow while you're learning, as you ride longer you'll eventually get the feel with what you can do and hopefully you wont have any spills where you can't stank up and look clueless.
Worst lowside for me though. I did understand that the speed was a little less but my tyre cross section wasn't that wide either. Does one need to attend a riding school of some sort to establish a set of fundamental "good habits" Curtis?
+Rohit s i wouldnt say its mandatory but a good teacher can get you there much more quickly and safely. its also great to be able to practice off a public roadway without middle aged women doing their makeup on the way to work in their 3 ton SUVs trying to run you off the road

Roads are congested as hell in my city so i err to the side of caution and ride safely be it in the city or the highway.
+Curtis Wood Yes true. Hard to ride with everybody else fucking off on the roads. Thats why i ride country back roads. Cant get the speed, but find some good curves.
This shows that its not always a matter of how high your top speed is, but how fast you can reach it.
awesome channel amazing video big fan!
Does it feel comfortable to lean it ? And also does ur foot pegs scrap a lil? If not im convinced im buying this bike for overall performances
Pretty fantastic riding. Are there any mods done to this bike? Particularly suspension?
Thanks. Mods are listed in description. No suspension mods.
This kinda looks like when you set easy difficulty on a racing video game but you're an expert
Have you changed the suspension at all from standard?
Good race, bro! Also, I liked how that guy in yellow shirt rode his Suzuki. Looks like you both had a lot of fun. :) Keep it up!
Thanks!
nice riding bro, i really enjoyed this video :)
+magd farid thanks, I made it for you
Great video. Were you dragging the pegs at all or did you change out the rearsets?
+Tyler Jane Bronson Thanks, I was dragging the pins under the stock pegs earlier that day so I removed the pins. After that I was scraping the kickstand so I shaved it with a Dremel.
You surely know how to warm up tyres fast, not like the usual 2-laps commuters... :)
Awesome. This bike is ridiculous. It's up to the rider. It's a beast even stock . So much fun . Massive torch and corners are fun hit my pegs alot . Kind of scary. An awesome fun fast bike all around. Fast and fun. Awesome skills brother. Stay safe you are the man awesome
dat spooky tornado exhaust system sounds dope
Is the bike stock? Are you on after market suspension and rear sets? If you are very nice and I'm gna get one. I've been wanting a do it all bike and your riding makes me think this bike has potential.
I've heard some people complain that they often scrape the footpegs on the mt07 as they are quite low, have you encountered this problem at all?
Yes. When leaning aggressively it scrapes right away. Scraped a few times in this video. Removing the safety pins helps though.
id so beat you at mario cart.
You're on sock tires??!!??
I've grown up with supersports (R6, R6 again, CBR600RR, ZX-6R) but recently got an FZ07 and have found it so much more fun and nimble in the corners. It's actually made me a much better rider, only took me 200 miles from new to completely get rid of the chicken strips and scrape a peg haha.
yes
I have a MT-07 myself. Did you do any upgrades? Brakes, monoshock or forks?
+Apex stock
+V10symphony Cheers then. The only time I got mine to a track I had a hard time dealing with the monoshock. Rebound is way too lose and at every corner exit started pumping. I plan to have a new one in the next six months.
+Apex under heavy braking nose dive is serious accompanied by wobble. With suspension mods, rearsets and maybe clipons the bike would be a lot faster. Still lots of fun on the track stock.
The engine braking serves well on the curves followed with the punch on the apex
there's always someone faster & there's always someone slower
Hey dude, awesome riding. I'm on a ninja 250. I'm 6 foot 1 inch tall. I look like a giraffe on the ninja. Would an MT-07 be the same? Too small for me?
yes too small
Nice riding
can you tell me which tire you are using?
OEM Michelin PR3
That was fu**ing awesome
You are one skilled rider on that bike. Looks like you out rode all the sizes of bikes. I have to tell you, i was scared as fuck, and im a skilled rider. That was a fun video to watch. i was thinking of getting the FZ1, but from this video it looks like that bike would be enough.

All I have to say is Wow!
Great riding. Now, just think what you could have done if you'd been on a Buell Ulysses. Imagine all that torque as you came out of corners.
Brilliant riding, though.
+1990 thanks
Are you a pro rider in the novice group? MT 07 is a cool bike but no way can it whoop 1000cc bikes. it's all rider skill
+Mark Ullyett Yes i agree.
+Mark Ullyett I do not agree. The MT 07 has a torque you wont believe. You can have 200 hp. When there is no torque to get this power to the street, you it does not matter how high the number of your hp is. The higher your torque, the higher the actuel hp on your back wheel is. So the mt 07 can match with some 1000cc bikes
+TheDirty PepsI I've rode the MT07 are you kidding me? 1000cc bikes in the right hands eats the MT
+Mark Ullyett Key words "right hands".
+Mark Ullyett Duh, you are comparing a 70hp bike with a 170hp+ bike
that was all skills! great video. just goes to show that you dont need the biggest badest bike to have fun and maybe win a few races.
Damn you're fast! How long have you been riding/racing?
+Andrew Eddie that was my first day on a racetrack. Been riding for few years.
First day....? :O
at 2:07 did your rear slip a bit or was that just you? caught my attention
+Andres Gudiño think that was just me. But don't remember the rear might have gotten loose.
What mods have you done to it?
Would this be a good beginner bike for someone who is coming off of dirt bikes? I'm 6'2 currently and 185
will be too small for you
u think the fz07 has enough power or should i go with the fz09? awesome freaking video bro. niceeee
did you watch vid? dominated every bike on track lol
More than enough juice
I'm asking the same question. Ride a GSXR 750 right now but i think ill have more fun on a FZ. I'm use to having power on the 750 but still dont know which one i should get
david garzon fz09
+xTYx728 If you're coming from a GSXR definitely get the 09
I know that track!! NJMP thunderbolt. My favorite track! got some good lines there-to the rider..
dat edge at 2:14 O_o
Stock or modified suspension?
Stock
Cool, thanks! I have one and was curious.
I love my fz07, same color as yours. do you have any suspension/performance modifications?
+Baxter Draughn noticed the throw on your throttle twist seems stock, i switched my throttle tube for the r6 tube and love it, no more twisting my wrist so far to hit WOT if you haven't already changed it by now its a great under 20$ fix.
+Baxter Draughn stock
+Baxter Draughn yea that long throw is tedious on the track, you can see how far im twisting. I got myself an R6 recently so im keeping this throttle tube on the fz, its easier to balance wheelies with this one.

The fz07 doesn't have a ton of front end feel but it holds in the corners. The most crucial thing is to keep heat in the tires. Once those babies are hot, the bike is a different animal.
What track is this?
Great rider!!
what if instead a Mt07 it was a er6n ? What do you think? Same performance?
+Willians Barros mt07 is superior to the Er6n, The MT has the samebasic HP but it operates like a Vtwinj so the power comes in earlier. The MT is also way lighter than the ER. It also has a shorter wheelbase which makes it turn in quicker.
It depends which one is set up the best. The right suspensions and tires makes a huge difference.
Mojo This is ofcourse completely true also.
*****
I know what you meant though, MT07 has more potential. Results at pikes peak showed it's a very capable machine.
well.. i prefer ER6n.. just because I am owner of one.. rsrs...
But, of course, MT07 is a superior machine. no doubt..
is this bike stock suspension?
yes
Camera?
+★JESUS CUPRA TFSI★ gopro hero 4
nice video man..
ue quero compra uma mt07 vc ache que entre as 600 zero km e uma das melhores ou a melhor?
iam no racer but dat is some Skilzzz... i hope you want to change the exhaust i wanna hear more of those vtwin alike engine sound.
beginner rider here i have this bike how is he in 3rd gear doing 60?
I don't understand your question? 60 mph is possible in 3rd
+V10symphony i guess im confused then on how it works. So i can be in 3rd and do 60 as long as the revs match, yes?
yes
Drag handlebars to help you really get in the courners and a M4 exhaust no DB would serve you well. Nice riding though
the guy at the 9 min mark is riding with one hand on the bars ...... LOL
nice man you crazy
with mt 07 you professional amazing bravo !
MT-07 rules!
The funny thing is, with a rider this good, he would do just as well using any of the bikes in this vid.
+Darknessfalls The video really should be titled "Sick rider Race Track vs whatever"
Nice ride. You have some race skills. I have an FZ-07 I like it.
+MotoMerica BIKE OF THE YEAR!!!
V10symphony Awesome !!
So the suspension was good for your weight? I am 200 lbs without fear so probably no good for me?
dry509 was good for my weight 165, I'm sure you can set up up to work for your weight.
dai del gas!!!!
mph or kmh??
anyway, really nice riding skills
Mph
cheers bro
mph or kmh?
+Foxtrot - OscarMeFer mph
lol
