One thing i will say for taller riders as I am 6'4" leave it naked no windshield will help and its better to just take the wind in the chest versus getting your head buffeted and thrown around
I owned a 2015 for 2 years. Loved the engine. Everything else about the bike was very budget oriented. I just couldn't bring myself to put money into the much needed suspension upgrades. The plastic shrouded gas tank. The fake carbon fiber, the easily scratched wheels, etc. just made it not worth putting money into.
It definitely has cheaper parts on it and that’s reflected in the low cost of even a brand new one but overall I think it’s a good bike, just don’t expect Ducati level quality lol
I actually agree with you, but there are people that put three to five K into these bikes and customize them or get them track ready For track mods - this is before the R7 came out
Just did the 16K mile (spark plugs) service on my 19 XSR 700. Although I have done a few mods (Ohlins rear shock) the bike is 100% awesome and would have been fine stock if I could keep it out of the Canyons. Michelin Road 5s (come factory on 2022) and oil changes, it feels like the thing will run forever and never get boring, but if something happened to it tomorrow I’d go get another one just like it.
I found a 2016 fz07 with 4K miles they want 6,800 I think that’s expensive for an old bike what do you think ? I really want a cb650r but would get one of these for a good price or xsr or trident 660
I agree that’s a bit high in my opinion, I say if you want the CB then keep saving and get the one you really want, don’t want to regret a big decision lol
Hello form the UK. I have just ordered the 2021 MT07 “storm fluo” . It will be the 14th bike I’ve owned - the largest being a 1200 Buell. I always seem to come back to the mid size bikes as there is just enough power for what I want. How have you found corrosion/rust on your bike? I have heard that the swing arm can suffer from this. However, shouldn’t really matter for me as I clean my bikes almost daily. Thanks
As far as corrosion goes the only part that has some in on the swing arm and that’s only because some paint came off during maintenance. Other than that I haven’t found any on mine and I wash a lot less frequently😂 and I agree! I love them!
@@Jacobcandanoza thanks for the info. I aim to keep this one for a while. And as much as yours sounds lovely, I’m gonna keep mine stock, I must be getting old ha-ha. Keep enjoying and ride safe 🤘🏻
I have the 2019 in tech black! I live in Kentucky and get to experience all the seasons and me being the lunatic I am ride in all the seasons. My bike has seen the worst of weather and so far no swing arm rust or corrosion( also my bike has seen it’s fair share of salt and snow). The worst thing about the bike for me was the wheels they get dirty fast and are a b***h to clean. I have some corrosion on my exhaust but that’s been the only place and was entirely my fault from neglect.
I have some Alpine stars I use a lot but have been using Sedici Bruno gloves recently and those are the ones in the video. Feel really good on my hands and have held up pretty good, I like them a lot especially for the price www.cyclegear.com/gear/sedici-bruno-gloves
It was pretty good, it blocked a good bit of wind. Could feel the wind on my helmet but nothing crazy, felt a huge difference when I had taken it off though
Emphasis on the seat being bad. It’s literally the worst. If you ride over 50 mins rip to your ass. Otherwise everything is dope! Oh and it can get a little light and shaky at higher speeds. Think 80+ and the wind is pushing you around. Great bike though all around!
Been a bit since this video published and I completely agree with the seat thing lol I don’t remember what I said in the video. I have a windshield on mine so it isn’t as bad at highway speed
@@Jacobcandanoza oh oops, just did some more research. The first link I read said “all 2016 MT-07s are equipped with ABS” but I guess that’s European? Not US
My 2017 FZ-07 in fluorescent yellow doesn't have ABS. The other colors do. Canada gets the same colors as the United States minus the catalytic converter.
I'm buying a mt07 this weekend I personally love the bike expctualy the sound. I started on a mt03 so I know why you put a windshield on it but I think mt07 will be good upgrade.
Yea you’re up there lol I did see a video where someone of similar size had one though, I believe he got lower bars and adjustable rear sets to fit him better and he was fine but idk if you want to do all that
Im 6’3 with long legs and I actually fit just right on the MT07. Its one of the few bikes Ive sat in that my legs actually fit under the tank and not over top of the tank like the ninja 650
New rider. Looking for a first bike. Liked this video. Thanks for all that you shared.
Anytime🤙🏼 glad I could help!
Thanks for the knowledge! Im about to buy a 2015 fz07 and your vid made me confident with my purchase!!
You’re going to love it! Mine just crossed over 20,000!

I’m so confused, @4:53 you accelerate and shift but you don’t touch the clutch, what is happening??
All you do is let off the throttle a tiny bit and shift up and it will click into gear🤙🏼

I definitely love mine but that new MT10 is kinda catching my eye👀 I run the same tires on mine now and they work like a dream
Good stuff man just got the 2021 MT07 to wheelie :)
Awesome! Keep at it!
i wish there was anything i could do about the position of the ignition 😭

I’m looking at one with 8k miles 2016 for 5600 has a bunch of after market stuff too
Awesome! I’m sure you’re going to love it
It's way overpriced but everything is right now...
Do you get a slight wobble over a hundred?
Possibly a little but nothing bad enough to concern me. It’s worse if I hit a weird/hard bump tho

I hope you enjoy it! Once you got a feel definitely come back and let me know! Ride safe out there man!

The wheels are annoying to the point where I genuinely do not even try to keep them clean anymore haha
This by far is one of the best sounding bikes out there 🤤
Where did you get that rear view mirror
Amazon haha, I don’t have a link though
I will add though not the highest quality there’s a reason they were lik $20
what gloves do you have?

how is that wind screen?
It was pretty good, it blocked a good bit of wind. Could feel the wind on my helmet but nothing crazy, felt a huge difference when I had taken it off though

"a blinker and a horn" 😂
Do you recommend it for a tall rider I’m 6ft5
Some adjustments would have to be made I’m sure to make it fit you good but it could be done no doubt
It's worth the money now, those bikes are worth 5000 plus right now
They definitely tend to hit around that point and not go any lower luckily
All FZ-07/Mt-07's have ABS bro
That’s going to be a big ol negative my friend
@@Jacobcandanoza oh oops, just did some more research. The first link I read said “all 2016 MT-07s are equipped with ABS” but I guess that’s European? Not US
@youssef M possibly? They are different across the pond lol
My 2017 FZ-07 in fluorescent yellow doesn't have ABS. The other colors do. Canada gets the same colors as the United States minus the catalytic converter.
Interesting, are certain colors like the “base model”? Like I said mine doesn’t either but that doesn’t bother me lol
is fz07 just old version of mt07?
Yes, I believe in 2017 it changed, very few differences though
@@Jacobcandanoza cool, cheers :)
No in the US it’s the fz07 and other countries I believe it’s mt07
Is the US it was FZ for the first few years then changed to MT like the rest of the world lol everywhere else it has been MT since the beginning
@@Jacobcandanoza Interesting to know! :0
You don’t make bike content anymore ?
I don’t no, I started making videos about cameras and stuff like that and am enjoying that more so stopped the bike content
how did you put your mirror there?
The bars I have on right now have a bit of extra room so I just flipped the mirror upside down and tightened it down right there!
I'm buying a mt07 this weekend I personally love the bike expctualy the sound. I started on a mt03 so I know why you put a windshield on it but I think mt07 will be good upgrade.
It will be an awesome upgrade from the 03! You’re going to love it
@@Jacobcandanoza Oh yes definitely one I plan on keeping for a long time
hey brother i have the yoshimura R77 what tuned you used to make soud smooth
When I got the bike it had the system on it and had a dyno jet tuner already in it so I haven’t done anything haha
I love this bike but I’m 6’3 and probably too tall for it
Yea you’re up there lol I did see a video where someone of similar size had one though, I believe he got lower bars and adjustable rear sets to fit him better and he was fine but idk if you want to do all that
Im 6’3 with long legs and I actually fit just right on the MT07. Its one of the few bikes Ive sat in that my legs actually fit under the tank and not over top of the tank like the ninja 650
top speed?
140 on a good day. Sometimes it struggles. Top speed may vary
