perfect review for a potential buyer, and maybe the best one on this bike

I never leave YouTube comments but I really appreciate your videos and attitude. Found your channel as I'm researching the fz-07 and have really enjoyed watching them. Keep up the great work.

[makarlock]

was of very good use to me, my friend. thank you. you were right: i've been considering this bike for a while now, and ive never heard anyone say anything about the transmission. definitely not a dealbreaker, but good to know.

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.

Absolutely love mine, learned wheelies on a grom over the winter time and the fz is a freakin hoot to ride. The torque/sound is amazing!

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.

Something about a southern accent with a decent vocabulary just makes everything sound way more genuine. Worth looking into more of your vids and most likely subbing even though I haven't been into motovlogs in a couple years 🤘

[beleaf]

Out of all the reviews I've watched, your review helped me the most. Thanks!

[MotorHeadGreg]

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.

[Baseballfanatic]

Subscribed for the accent! Stayed for all the informative videos...

Keep it up!

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. THE DEALER RENEGED ON THE DEAL AND RAISED THE PRICE $500. ON PRINCIPLES ALONE I DECIDED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER BIKE AND THAT'S WHERE YOUR VIDEO DELIVERED! I ALREADY HAD A R3 BUT NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE MT07. YOUR CANDID COMMENTARY WAS REFRESHING. ENOUGH LOVE, LOVE THIS BIKE! I BOUGHT A NEW 2018 LAST SATURDAY AND JUST DID MY 600 MILES OIL CHANGE THIS SATURDAY!LOL YOU WERE RIGHT WITH YOUR STATEMENT "I PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL ENJOY IT". YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. WOOOHOOO!

[psychofunksoldier]

One of my favorite reviews for this bike.

[travrsx]

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!

[louislemoine_magicman]

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.

[damianbartlett]

Dude, as a yankee, I love listening to you talk, man! Great review and I totally agree! I love my ‘18! (but keeping the rims clean is impossible!)

[KeyphoneRun]

Yeah, I can totally agree with you. I bought this spring the new MT-07 2017 Edit. in the colour night flou like you have (I don`t know the difference to a FZ-07) and just love it. It`s my first bike and I`m so happy with it. It`s so amazing that you become for such less money, such much of a bike :).

hey man, it's a great review!
it helps me a lot to think about get one of those.
safe ride, have fun with it!

[noobr]

I have a 16' fz07 and a 14' R1! And I find myself going to the fz07 alot more than the R1! Juss bcuz with the R1 ur limited to certain riding, with the fz07 u can do way more things, n have way more fun!! Juss my opinion!! Cool video tho 👍🏽

[UnprofessionalKyle]

Currently in the process of acquiring a 2018 mt-07.... Finally!! Lol I've been wanting one for at least a year now and have seen almost every youtube video about the fz/mt series in the last year. Stoked to finally be pulling the trigger! Hope to see more videos from you soon, buddy 🤘

[guiliobarresi]
