I remember watching this 6 years ago and wanting this bike. I finally picked one up as my first bike this weekend after passing the MSF, and she is everything I thought she would be. The previous owner put better brakes on it and stiffened the suspension, and my only complaint is the fuel tank and wind. This bike is rips and I couldn’t imagine needing anything else.

"This would make a great MSF bike!" *pulls a power wheelie*

Yamaha hit so many of the boxes with this bike: less than $7k, less than 400 lbs, huge flat torque curve, and they made a parallel twin that actually sounds GOOD. I also really love how the entire exhaust system fits underneath the bike - manufacturers that make single sided swing arms take notes! Definitely thinking of picking up one of these used in a year or two. You'll probably find them for $4k-$5k with low miles by then.

They're cheap, comfortable and quick.

Apparently 7 people don't like those qualities.

3:37 Should've gone off that ramp... wait a second this isn't GTA XD

I am a simple man, I see a chaseontwowheels video, I press the like button.

Chase isn't lying about the engine braking. I have the 2015 FZ-07 and if you let go of the throttle be prepared to start decelerating, hard. I'm a new rider and this is my first bike for all the reasons Chase mentioned, easy start and fun torque. Glad to see the video, keep them coming!

[PistNRods]

Agreed that the FZ09 engine in a FZ07 frame would be tits!

[DiceGaming]

It's a great bike. I saw your first, first ride of this bike and I decided to go pick up one for myself. It's fantastic for the price. I put on a Yoshimura exhaust and got a power commander, and it made the bike even better. Anybody considering this bike, I can promise you it's worth it. And btw, this was my first bike, and I agree that it's a great starter bike. Just be careful in 1st and 2nd gear, you can really get yourself in trouble if you aren't prepared for the wheelies.

I got an R3 last year after seeing your first ride on that bike (and obviously agreeing that it was as great as you stated), and want to step up to an FZ-07 next year REALLY bad. I use my bike to mostly commute to work, but ripping around with my buddies on weekends, I think this bike is the exact fun I am looking for! Thanks for doing these videos!

[NeedSteveMoto]

Thanks for doing the first ride with the FZ-07. Change out the mirrors, exhaust and fender eliminator and the bike is pure amazing.. I love every minute I'm on mine!!

[jonathanbarnor]

"not my bike at all" (pops another wheelie) 😂

[krispewkreme]

One of THE most liked First Rides. That’s says something. Especially the praise for this bike by not only your video, but EVERY FZ rider. Think this is the bike I’ll get as the first.

[Parafaragaramus]

I bought my 15 FZ-07 about a year and a half ago. first thing I bought for it was a Yoshimura exhaust. I never put the baffle in and I am absolutely in love with the way it sounds. cruising it's not too loud but it sounds amazing whenever you get on the throttle. there's some nice pops when the engine braking kicks in. I don't think I will ever get rid of this bike it's been great.

[NicksterNOC]

Apple watch on one wrist, normal watch on the other. wait wat

[MisterJuniorism]

Thank you for reviewing this bike. I've been wanting to start riding for a while and i have been looking an fz-07, this video only solidified my want for this bike. Now for the money part.

[JoeGo]

This bike sounds like a BOSS with an akropovic exhaust :D :D :D

[alinoo]

I learnt to ride on this bike. Honestly fell in love with it, it was such an incredible bike. I have always been a huge cruiser fan, a honda shadow 500 is like my dream bike, but the MT-07 was euphoric to drive. Everything he says in this video is so true. It's unbelievably comfortable, the engine is more than capable for the motorway and the handling is so suited to the city. The only issue I have is that hitting a corner too fast, especially when wet, wipes you out unbelievably fast, the bike just slides out. Other than that, incredible bike.

I've been waiting since I heard your stream for this... stayed up all night too, I hope it's good
