Well Cruza. You should know, that your not like all these other Moto-vloggers. Your not all about just riding different bikes and talking about the experience. It is your conversations while riding whatever bike, that keeps me coming back to your channel. I don't know if you know this, but your the only one out there, that talks about life and death, goes to grave yards, talks about marriage, and all the ups and downs that life throws at everyone. That is what makes you different and special brother. I too could care less if you get another bike. I just like you talking about life. That is what keeps me coming back. Peace brother.
I was a cruiser rider for quite a while. Went to naked bikes eight, ten years ago, and would never go back to cruises. Back pain, ergonomics, handling, weight of the bike, and more…all those reasons make the naked bike such a better choice for me.
As a huge Yamaha fan. And a previous owner of two fz09s, the 890 duke R, is a gem . Somehow some way KTM figured out how to make it put out more power than the FZ09 while weighing less having more torque more technology more CC's & a better suspension....& I will tell you this. I have a KTM 690 it is a monster. Aside from a shop doing faulty work I have had no issues. I fully trust this bike.
I say you do you Cruza. If you have found that bike in the 2 you have keep them. I love your content either way. No need to swap bikes around on our account. I’ve got the 2023 MT07 and I feel you. I love this bike and it does everything I need and want it too. You are a great content creator. You will continue to provide great content without having to swap to another bike. You may want to swap later. Who knows. But keep what you’re happy with for now and ride that thing til the wheels fall off. ✌🏻
I’d love to see you get that triumph rocket three that is such a unique one-of-a-kind motorcycle I’d love to hear you talk about all that torque ! I think it would make for an interesting New experience for your channel !
It is. I have a 2020 rocket 3 and a 2017 hayabusa. The rocket is definitely a completely different machine. It’s honestly like a heavier version of a naked bike. Mine has mid pegs and is extremely nimble. Great bike
I chose the middle ground and I got the new redesigned Sportster S. I looked at a number of different options but really fell in love with this bike. I love riding this thing. All the tech + a sporty nature with a cruiser soul. It’s fun. To each his/her own though.
First of all congratulations man. Nice bike I am still debating the Indian Scout Bobber and the Sportster S the only thing is that the Sporster S is like $3K more but the Bobber not having a tft display and the option of middle foot pegs is making me think twice
@@Slopes27 thanks. You really can’t go wrong with either. Both fun bikes. Maybe take a test ride on both and then decide??? I think the Scout will make a better daily or travel bike to be honest. The Sportster is a fast ripper with cool tech and an amazing engine.
@@urbanadventurer5 I just test drove the Sporster S this weekend and I am in love. The forwards controls didn’t even bother me at all. Tried all the different ridding modes and man this bike is a beast. Plus having all the tech and gadgets I believe now it’s worth the extra $3K. The Harley dealer took me and another guy on a 10 minute ride including a piece of highway with the owner on this Trike leading the pack. Great experience to be honest.
I agree with you that a naked bike might be a more "efficient" bike for what you need but for the channel, I would love to see you riding a Harley and sharing your experience
Ok CC here’s my offer: When it cools off here in Mesa, AZ (October for you) fly out here and you can ride my 2014 BMW R1200RT and/or my 2018 Harley softail Lowrider as long as you need to. Great twisties not far from here and you’ll understand the appeal of both types of bikes. This is a serious offer so you can experience other types of riding and the beauty of AZ riding. Also you can test ride any bike you want at GoAZ motorcycles in Scottsdale.
There really isn’t a better bike on the market. Put 10,000 miles on my FZ07. Super reliable and strong. Relaxing now on a Yamaha Bolt C-Spec. Really love belt drive and the Vtwin simplicity. If I were to pick something new tho, I’d give the MT10 or a VMAX a try. Stay safe out there G.
i got the new Suzuki GSX 8S and i am so happy with this lil naked Bike! so super for driving around the town and flying through the hills and forests here in germany
We don’t watch your channel for WHAT YOU RIDE. We watch it for WHAT YOU SAY. The topics you speak about, the humor, the opinions, and the reviews. Why not trying to get into the stunting scene with that Mt-07? A different taste of life🔥
If you want lower end grunt get the Triumph Rocket 3 which you can get with mid pegs, end of discussion. And if you actually put a lot of miles on the bike you need a windshield which I put on my Rocket. Oh and I have no problem keeping up with anyone in the twisties.
I learned to ride on a Honda Rebel 500 and now own a older HD Softail Deluxe. I love BOTH! Metric naked bike gives me the same feeling as your MT07 (with way less power/torque) so I still ride around town with it. You can’t beat 67-70 mpg! BUT my black & chrome stripped down Softail Deluxe looks bad ass and starts conversations. It is totally stock BTW. I will ALWAYS have BOTH a cruiser and a naked bike just like I will always have running shoes and flip flops.
@@CycleCruza Make sure u test ride it in sport mode 👌🏽 Great video. It actually made me think. Overall, I think cruisers have a more unique & desirable look. But, they’re way way way way slower! lol If you’d like the option of riding at pace from time to time, only two cruisers worth it are that new Diavel & the Rocket 3. Although, the Diavel is more like a muscle naked, than an actual “cruiser”. Your perfect bike CC.
You're videos are enjoyable especially because it comes from a place a truth ! What about testing the upcoming brands that are underdogs like CFMoto. I have one now and wanted your impressions CycleCruza!
I appreciate all of the different types of bikes in general. Ive ridden different ones but i personally own a Gen 2 Vmax, Gen 6 Honda Vfr800 vtec, and a little kawasaki ninja 250r. I Love all 3 of my bikes for different reasons. I dont ride long distance and thats why i never bought a "cruiser" but i do like them very much. I dont consider the Vmax a cruiser but it makes my blood boil every time i get on it. The Honda Vfr800 is simply a bike thats hard to replace for what it does. Its makes me smile and i like the looks and sound of it. I chose the vfr800 over what used to be my dream bike. (Honda CBR1100XX blackbird) simply because of the comfort and ride position. (Dont have to lean over all day) I know that the Vfr and the Vmax are no longer in production but wow! The sound and feel of V4 engines are just awesome and smooth to say the least, you guys should ride them both at least once. The one thing that I must say that CC mentions sometimes is the weight of bikes. When i ride that little ninja 250r it is such an awesome feeling of slinging that thing in and out of corners due to its weight. Its so effortless to do so. I find that bike to be quite fun. I keep it to teach other friends and family how to ride motorcycles and currently teaching my daughter on it. She loves that bike. CC, have you ever ridden a VFR or Vmax? You all have a great day. Keep riding safely and CC keep these videos coming. Great content man.
I ride a yamaha bolt, mid size cruiser and it's naked as hell. Added Vance and Hines exhaust and air cleaner, mini apes and love the look and ride. It's only a 950 but I'm not running 90 to 100 mph anyway. Price point was 7000 new in '18 before mods
I have a 2021 mt07 and it’s everything I need, yeah a street glide would be nice to have those bags, but then you end up scraping pegs or floorboards and when you hit bumps you can’t stand up to keep from smashing your spine so I’m just gonna ride my Yamaha till I need a change
If you hate the feet forward controls get a mid-control kit. I want a Indian Scout Bobber but hate the forward controls. If I buy a kit I can have the controls moved to mid-controls.
Whichever one you want! Get the one that best fits your riding style or the way you plan to ride. Ride safely! ✌🏻 If you need room in the garage, sell that stinking golf cart, not the Yamaha-Davidson
Had a Harley Street Bob fully modified for fun. Big, bad and loud. Sold it for the MT-07. The MT07 much more fun to quickly jump on and go. Added some SC Project full set of pipes on the MT-07 and it is amazing! Harleys are nice, but I grew up on dirt bikes and the naked riding position is where i feel most comfortable. Forward controls on my Harley sucked!
I will ride anything simply because all motorcycles are different. I prefer carbed Japanese inline 4s simply because that is where I have the most mechanical expertise. I can fix anything wrong with.
Btw....you've contradicted your self the entire video fam. The "better" bike is always going to be the best bike for what a rider needs for the type of riding thru plan on doing vs body comfort. I for example like to do long distance rides. So for me, a touring or a sport tourer is going to be rye best tool for my use case. Which type exactly I should shoot for depends on my body's condition. I went with a sport tourer because I am pretty athletic so I can manage their "typical" riding positions for long periods at a time. Plus...... No touring bike for the money can give me 350-360miles on a tank of fuel like my ST1300 does so for me, that's the best bike at the moment. I love in the middle of the country and to get to the "cool" driving roads I have to put around 550+miles on the interstate. When I target 70mph (GPS) I get a tick over 350miles before I stop to refill and I usually end up adding 6.5-6.6gallons of it's 7.7gallon capacity and that's at 1000-1100ft elevation. Between that and having a honda built V4 between my legs and 136liters of total storage space, I can't go wrong for $4500 with 32kmiles
That is what I said in this video, it all depends on your preferences. As I stated many people like the forward foot pegs a cruiser has to offer that a naked doesn't. However, I just feel that overall a naked motorcycle brings more value in terms of versatility. As far as touring, many people prefer an ADV motorcycle for that but sport touring bikes are great too. It is great you found a bike you love, really that is all that matters. You got a good deal! Like I always said, I feel you don't need to spend anymore than 10k on a motorcycle.
890 Aventure R has 115 hp different rider modes such as the rally mode that reduces abs in the front tire and turn off the abs on the rear tire Tubeless tires inverted fully adjustable forks and low center gravity parallel twin 5 gallon tank
They all have their own niche. We purchased 5 bikes used, rode all but one home day of purchase from private owner long distance. The one I trailered needed clutch cable lube and adjustment, not a new clutch, so I could have technically rode it home after a minor maintenance issue. I tried buying new and they tried taking me for an idiot to what they were doing and I simply said no.
I like all bikes. They all have there pluses and minuses. It really all comes down to the rider. What is best for one may be the worst for someone else. I actually find that the adventure bikes are the most comfortable for me. I am planning on one being my next bike and I plan on only riding it on road. My suggestion for your next bike is the Suzuki GSX8S. Similar to the MT-07, but something new and different. If you want to try something a bit bigger I would suggest the Kawasaki Z900 or the Honda CB1000R. If you want to get a Harley my suggestion for you would be the Sportster S. They have low end power better than an MT-09.
it's comfort first, then style, but as I get older, I've got wiser if I was you buy what you want I've got three fast electric bikes all different judt go out for a ride on your bike somewhere different do a road trip I'd love to watch that cruze😊
I think you would like the beta’s they have different bikes to ride they got dirt bike they get two strokes to rip in the dirt! I really like the beta! 500RR-S u can go off road and on road to explore! It does it all! Check it out!
Sitting in an easy chair 😂 true To add to that, I guess I'm the one weirdo whose back & knees hurt more with mid or forward controls. Standard or tucked all day every day here.
Pretty inexperienced here, just barely got my motorcycle license and have only ridden my cousins sportser and a duke during my basic riders course. I thought riding that Harley was pretty cool until I rode the duke. The duke felt like I was a little kid riding my bmx bike around town. Still kind of on the fence though about what I want to buy.
I just got a ktm 890 duke a few months back it’s built more like the mt07 engine and weight wise but has the pull of the mt09, if not more. I think it’s an outstanding bike so far but I’ve only got almost 800 miles on it. I’m hoping it’ll hold up to be a reliable bike down the road. I figured it was worth a shot to try something new since I couldn’t find an 09SP anywhere and didn’t feel like waiting forever.
The MT 07 looks nice. I only rode Super Sports bikes. The only problem with my Kawasaki ZX750 is that the foot pegs are high up, as a result my knees sometimes get bad cramps 😂😂😂. I have to wait it out when riding, it sucks lol..
I was looking at the Cagiva 650cc naked, which was like an upgrade on the old SV650 with suspension and brakes but the peg position is terrible - very bad knee bend.
I just don't understand why they put pegs for a racing position on a naked motorcycle. I had the complaint about that 2017 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory. All Aprilia did was put some handlebars on a RSV4 and call it a naked motorcycle. Th ergos on that Tuono irritated me more than on my former cbr1000rr.
Get you a triumph classic range. That speedmaster or speed twin british standardm looks pretty nice. Different not common.. custom parts avail just like Harleys. Maybe try the brand new suzuki 800de I guarantee that bike is bad ass. I know I know....no hypersport.. no adventure bike. No goldwing. No 109r no this no that. Most your street bikes have all been same style. Minus the diavel. Wich is just a premium naked.
maybe try a yamaha tmax scooter somethink else and its auto i know i like normal bikes better to but where i live a lot of people ride them and ridem them hard in the city
What do you think about the GSXS750 or the Z900SE. I like these 2 bikes best for naked bikes because they both have an inline 4 cylinder and reasonably priced.
Sounds like you should just keep the MT-07 a while longer. You sound way too stoked about it to let it go just to try something less exciting. Maybe you're moving into 2 years per bike territory?
Yeah I was very close to buying a new 2022 Streetfighter V4S but instead went with the MT-07 because I knew the Ducati would bring speeding tickets like that Tuono did. lol The MT-07 keeps me from the felony speeds bu still had nice bottom end grunt. Next bike I get also has to have stout bottom end grunt.
I've ridden both a cruiser (my Aprilia Red Rose Classic) and a few naked bikes (Yamaha YBR125, Yamaha MT07 and Honda CB500F),and I personally prefer cruisers. I find the upright riding position on cruisers more comfortable,on a naked bike I'm leaning more forward so my wrists and sometimes my lower back starts to hurt after maybe one to two hours of riding.
Yeah some naked motorcycles have a more aggressive riding position. I feel like the MT-07 is a bit more relaxed than some naked bikes. I did not like that Aprilia Tupno's riding position, it was much too aggressive, as though they just put some handlebars on a RSV4 superbike. I understand why riders like yourself prefer cruisers, they are often the most comfortable for riders and for the most part we just cruise out here on the streets, at least that is what we should be doing. I know I would love that new Diavel V4 but my wallet won't. lol I can't justify 25k+ on a motorcycle when there are so many great bikes to be had for 10k or less.
The ladies love the Harleys. However, I will say I did get hit on by a chick when I was on my Ducati XDiavel, that bike drew a lot of attention. Most people ride Harleys here in Ohio, I'm the oddball who doesn't. I'm trying to get some test rides.
So much of it comes down to preference. It’s all about what style of motorcycle you prefer. The naked bike is great for all out performance coupled with comfort. A comfortable riding position without sacrificing performance, but I really, REALLY, don’t like the way they look! A cruiser is far less performance (typically) and probably a little more comfortable but they have the style I’m looking for in a motorcycle! So I went with the Harley Low Rider S. Still has decent performance, very comfortable (to me at 5’11”) and looks like the sh*t!!! I actually prefer the extra weight of my Harley too living here in Tulsa Oklahoma where the wind literally tries to blow you off the road every other day, ok, everyday!
I agree, naked motorcycles usually don't look as good as cruisers. Cruisers tend to have the timeless look while the naked motorcycle usually look dated after a few years and never really that good looking to begin with. lol However, I will say MV Agusta makes the best looking naked motorcycles but they always come in last place in the shootouts. The Harley Low Rider S is a good looking bike for sure. Everybody around here riders Harley, including any friend I have that riders, they all ditched the sportbikes for a Harley when they got older. I need to test ride some Harleys, they are usually good about allowing a test ride.
@@CycleCruza. You might check out that Indian sport chief also? It’s all that with the Indian fans, but I’m not into Indian motorcycles personally. They just seem to always be copying Harleys homework (don’t freak out Indian rider!) I don’t like the dual shocks, and their accessories are super expensive!! Their bikes cost just as much as a Harley too and good luck in the resale market.
Can someone help me out I’m new to riding I ride a 2015 mt07 my problem is the steering feels super heavy at moderately high speeds like 100 kilometres per hour and up (62 miles per hour) it’s feels like it takes around 70lbs of force just to turn to the other side of the lane I weigh 228 pounds btw so idk if it’s the style of bike the suspension tire pressure I got a feeling somethings not right
@@CycleCruza I do counter steer I push on the right bar to go right and the left bar to go left i push forward not down too the 70lbs is more at like 140-150k the bike just feels like it doesn’t want to turn
@@jimperry4420 lower it or raise it? had it at the factory recommended 33psi in the front 36in the rear I pumped it up to 34 in the front and 37 in the rear didn’t seem to make a difference almost felt worse
You are absolutely right. Harleys are so outdated and heavier than any other bikes. They like dinosaurs, and just look at the guys riding them. Big fat older guys. You never see a Harley rider in good physical shape.😅
To be honest, as big fat guy (190cm/150kg) I can't imagine myself on naked bike 😂. Where should I put my belly? That's why I prefer cruisers. Can't wait now to get my Dragstar 1100.
Get a Hypermotard man! Its a blend of your two Yamahas man! Lets just ignore the fact its a ducati and will probably be a pain in the ass to own - its an awesome bike!
Beautiful bike but it is an odd bike that is trying to be a supermoto and sportbike but too heavy to be a proper supermoto. However, it is sick looking nonetheless. I have a love hate relationship with Ducati bikes, love them but I don't trust them and my wallet hates them. lol
@@CycleCruza LOL thanks for answering man, love your videos! Yeah I was thinking about getting a Ducati but I went japanese instead haha. Hey I hope you stick with the MT-07 if thats what your heart desires, I think too much of the community is stuck up on grass is always greener thinking. Anything new will get old soon enough anyways!

Well Cruza. You should know, that your not like all these other Moto-vloggers. Your not all about just riding different bikes and talking about the experience. It is your conversations while riding whatever bike, that keeps me coming back to your channel. I don't know if you know this, but your the only one out there, that talks about life and death, goes to grave yards, talks about marriage, and all the ups and downs that life throws at everyone. That is what makes you different and special brother. I too could care less if you get another bike. I just like you talking about life. That is what keeps me coming back. Peace brother.
I agree, his life videos are absolute gems
You're right. He's a lot more personable
I was a cruiser rider for quite a while. Went to naked bikes eight, ten years ago, and would never go back to cruises. Back pain, ergonomics, handling, weight of the bike, and more…all those reasons make the naked bike such a better choice for me.
As a huge Yamaha fan. And a previous owner of two fz09s, the 890 duke R, is a gem . Somehow some way KTM figured out how to make it put out more power than the FZ09 while weighing less having more torque more technology more CC's & a better suspension....& I will tell you this. I have a KTM 690 it is a monster. Aside from a shop doing faulty work I have had no issues. I fully trust this bike.
Good to know. I like the looks of KTM, but have heard on TH-cam that it has reliability problems
@@Juan_E_Dewitt the SMCR is a nasty bike. I plan on keeping mine forever.
I say you do you Cruza. If you have found that bike in the 2 you have keep them. I love your content either way. No need to swap bikes around on our account. I’ve got the 2023 MT07 and I feel you. I love this bike and it does everything I need and want it too. You are a great content creator. You will continue to provide great content without having to swap to another bike. You may want to swap later. Who knows. But keep what you’re happy with for now and ride that thing til the wheels fall off. ✌🏻
I’d love to see you get that triumph rocket three that is such a unique one-of-a-kind motorcycle I’d love to hear you talk about all that torque ! I think it would make for an interesting New experience for your channel !
It is. I have a 2020 rocket 3 and a 2017 hayabusa. The rocket is definitely a completely different machine. It’s honestly like a heavier version of a naked bike. Mine has mid pegs and is extremely nimble. Great bike
I chose the middle ground and I got the new redesigned Sportster S. I looked at a number of different options but really fell in love with this bike. I love riding this thing. All the tech + a sporty nature with a cruiser soul. It’s fun. To each his/her own though.
First of all congratulations man. Nice bike I am still debating the Indian Scout Bobber and the Sportster S the only thing is that the Sporster S is like $3K more but the Bobber not having a tft display and the option of middle foot pegs is making me think twice
@@Slopes27 thanks. You really can’t go wrong with either. Both fun bikes. Maybe take a test ride on both and then decide??? I think the Scout will make a better daily or travel bike to be honest. The Sportster is a fast ripper with cool tech and an amazing engine.
@@urbanadventurer5 I just test drove the Sporster S this weekend and I am in love. The forwards controls didn’t even bother me at all. Tried all the different ridding modes and man this bike is a beast. Plus having all the tech and gadgets I believe now it’s worth the extra $3K. The Harley dealer took me and another guy on a 10 minute ride including a piece of highway with the owner on this Trike leading the pack. Great experience to be honest.
Get a retro like the triumph speed twin or the Z900rs you have the feeling of the naked but the look of a classic and they are confortable
I agree with you that a naked bike might be a more "efficient" bike for what you need but for the channel, I would love to see you riding a Harley and sharing your experience
Indian has a national rental program. If you have a dealership near you, you might want to check and see if they participate, and give the FTR a try.
Ok CC here’s my offer:
When it cools off here in Mesa, AZ (October for you) fly out here and you can ride my 2014 BMW R1200RT and/or my 2018 Harley softail Lowrider as long as you need to. Great twisties not far from here and you’ll understand the appeal of both types of bikes. This is a serious offer so you can experience other types of riding and the beauty of AZ riding. Also you can test ride any bike you want at GoAZ motorcycles in Scottsdale.
What a great offer!
Sadly both bikes weigh more than 300 lbs which is too heavy for Cruza :)
Aprilia Tuono 660. Love mine. Best in class
There really isn’t a better bike on the market. Put 10,000 miles on my FZ07. Super reliable and strong.
Relaxing now on a Yamaha Bolt C-Spec. Really love belt drive and the Vtwin simplicity. If I were to pick something new tho, I’d give the MT10 or a VMAX a try.
Stay safe out there G.
For a cheap naked bike the gsxs 1000 is the bomb.
It may not have all the bells and whistles on it but it rocks!
i got the new Suzuki GSX 8S and i am so happy with this lil naked Bike! so super for driving around the town and flying through the hills and forests here in germany
We don’t watch your channel for WHAT YOU RIDE. We watch it for WHAT YOU SAY. The topics you speak about, the humor, the opinions, and the reviews.
Why not trying to get into the stunting scene with that Mt-07? A different taste of life🔥
If you want lower end grunt get the Triumph Rocket 3 which you can get with mid pegs, end of discussion. And if you actually put a lot of miles on the bike you need a windshield which I put on my Rocket. Oh and I have no problem keeping up with anyone in the twisties.
I learned to ride on a Honda Rebel 500 and now own a older HD Softail Deluxe. I love BOTH! Metric naked bike gives me the same feeling as your MT07 (with way less power/torque) so I still ride around town with it. You can’t beat 67-70 mpg! BUT my black & chrome stripped down Softail Deluxe looks bad ass and starts conversations. It is totally stock BTW. I will ALWAYS have BOTH a cruiser and a naked bike just like I will always have running shoes and flip flops.
how about a Triump ROCKET 3 GT 221 ??
It's a MONSTER
@@rebellucy6200 i seen one in person and you are right !
Yeah I'm trying to get a test ride on one. I'm curious to experience that massive torque.
@@CycleCruza
Make sure u test ride it in sport mode 👌🏽
Great video. It actually made me think.
Overall, I think cruisers have a more unique & desirable look. But, they’re way way way way slower! lol If you’d like the option of riding at pace from time to time, only two cruisers worth it are that new Diavel & the Rocket 3.
Although, the Diavel is more like a muscle naked, than an actual “cruiser”. Your perfect bike CC.
You're videos are enjoyable especially because it comes from a place a truth ! What about testing the upcoming brands that are underdogs like CFMoto. I have one now and wanted your impressions CycleCruza!
I appreciate all of the different types of bikes in general. Ive ridden different ones but i personally own a Gen 2 Vmax, Gen 6 Honda Vfr800 vtec, and a little kawasaki ninja 250r. I Love all 3 of my bikes for different reasons. I dont ride long distance and thats why i never bought a "cruiser" but i do like them very much. I dont consider the Vmax a cruiser but it makes my blood boil every time i get on it. The Honda Vfr800 is simply a bike thats hard to replace for what it does. Its makes me smile and i like the looks and sound of it. I chose the vfr800 over what used to be my dream bike. (Honda CBR1100XX blackbird) simply because of the comfort and ride position. (Dont have to lean over all day) I know that the Vfr and the Vmax are no longer in production but wow! The sound and feel of V4 engines are just awesome and smooth to say the least, you guys should ride them both at least once. The one thing that I must say that CC mentions sometimes is the weight of bikes. When i ride that little ninja 250r it is such an awesome feeling of slinging that thing in and out of corners due to its weight. Its so effortless to do so. I find that bike to be quite fun. I keep it to teach other friends and family how to ride motorcycles and currently teaching my daughter on it. She loves that bike. CC, have you ever ridden a VFR or Vmax? You all have a great day. Keep riding safely and CC keep these videos coming. Great content man.
I have both a 2011 dyna street bob and a 2020 z900, two completely opposite riding experience. Love having both 🤘
I ride a yamaha bolt, mid size cruiser and it's naked as hell. Added Vance and Hines exhaust and air cleaner, mini apes and love the look and ride. It's only a 950 but I'm not running 90 to 100 mph anyway. Price point was 7000 new in '18 before mods
I’ve never said HD is the best I’ve always said get all bikes.
I like the naked bikes. Just took a chance and recently purchased a used Agusta Dragster. Purchased Air vest and armor per you suggestion. Thx CC!
I have a 2021 mt07 and it’s everything I need, yeah a street glide would be nice to have those bags, but then you end up scraping pegs or floorboards and when you hit bumps you can’t stand up to keep from smashing your spine so I’m just gonna ride my Yamaha till I need a change
If you hate the feet forward controls get a mid-control kit. I want a Indian Scout Bobber but hate the forward controls. If I buy a kit I can have the controls moved to mid-controls.
Whichever one you want!
Get the one that best fits your riding style or the way you plan to ride. Ride safely! ✌🏻
If you need room in the garage, sell that stinking golf cart, not the Yamaha-Davidson
Had a Harley Street Bob fully modified for fun. Big, bad and loud. Sold it for the MT-07. The MT07 much more fun to quickly jump on and go. Added some SC Project full set of pipes on the MT-07 and it is amazing! Harleys are nice, but I grew up on dirt bikes and the naked riding position is where i feel most comfortable. Forward controls on my Harley sucked!
Hey CC, how about getting an older bike and/or do a build series again. 👌 Most of us have/buy used bikes, and could relate.
Answer: Power Cruiser - Best of both worlds.
I will ride anything simply because all motorcycles are different. I prefer carbed Japanese inline 4s simply because that is where I have the most mechanical expertise. I can fix anything wrong with.
Btw....you've contradicted your self the entire video fam. The "better" bike is always going to be the best bike for what a rider needs for the type of riding thru plan on doing vs body comfort.
I for example like to do long distance rides. So for me, a touring or a sport tourer is going to be rye best tool for my use case. Which type exactly I should shoot for depends on my body's condition. I went with a sport tourer because I am pretty athletic so I can manage their "typical" riding positions for long periods at a time.
Plus......
No touring bike for the money can give me 350-360miles on a tank of fuel like my ST1300 does so for me, that's the best bike at the moment. I love in the middle of the country and to get to the "cool" driving roads I have to put around 550+miles on the interstate. When I target 70mph (GPS) I get a tick over 350miles before I stop to refill and I usually end up adding 6.5-6.6gallons of it's 7.7gallon capacity and that's at 1000-1100ft elevation.
Between that and having a honda built V4 between my legs and 136liters of total storage space, I can't go wrong for $4500 with 32kmiles
That is what I said in this video, it all depends on your preferences. As I stated many people like the forward foot pegs a cruiser has to offer that a naked doesn't. However, I just feel that overall a naked motorcycle brings more value in terms of versatility. As far as touring, many people prefer an ADV motorcycle for that but sport touring bikes are great too. It is great you found a bike you love, really that is all that matters. You got a good deal! Like I always said, I feel you don't need to spend anymore than 10k on a motorcycle.
I currently have a 23’ BMW S1000XR originally I wanted a naked but couldn’t get one and the XR was available so considering the M1000R the white one.
I'm glad you're keeping the MT-07. When are you making a golf cart video?
890 Aventure R has 115 hp different rider modes such as the rally mode that reduces abs in the front tire and turn off the abs on the rear tire
Tubeless tires inverted fully adjustable forks and low center gravity parallel twin 5 gallon tank
They all have their own niche. We purchased 5 bikes used, rode all but one home day of purchase from private owner long distance. The one I trailered needed clutch cable lube and adjustment, not a new clutch, so I could have technically rode it home after a minor maintenance issue. I tried buying new and they tried taking me for an idiot to what they were doing and I simply said no.
V-Rod it up you can’t lose the money they hold there value you can sell it probably with a profit
Statistically speaking, I've read cruisers have fewer accidents but naked bikes / riders look like they have more fun...
Try a Milwaukee 8 Softail Standard or Softail Slim. I picked up a Twin Cam 96 Street Bob and kicking back and riding.
I love my Triumph Speed Triple!
get a ktm duke 890r its like the mt 07 but a bit bigger engine and a bit more power
I like all bikes. They all have there pluses and minuses. It really all comes down to the rider. What is best for one may be the worst for someone else. I actually find that the adventure bikes are the most comfortable for me. I am planning on one being my next bike and I plan on only riding it on road. My suggestion for your next bike is the Suzuki GSX8S. Similar to the MT-07, but something new and different. If you want to try something a bit bigger I would suggest the Kawasaki Z900 or the Honda CB1000R. If you want to get a Harley my suggestion for you would be the Sportster S. They have low end power better than an MT-09.
Do you get a lot of bugs on the visor❓
Not really, I avoid riding at dusk when all the bugs seem to come out.
@@CycleCruza I'm in the south, bugs are on the clock all the time, and I do have the taller windscreen. Drives me nuts
Check out twisted road. You can rent bikes from local people.
Would you ride this motorcycle? The 1985 Kawasaki GPZ900R
You had MT09 and now MT07... Your next bike should be an MT10 SP
Im interested in a KTM XC-W 300 for trail riding, but I'm wondering if the cost is worth it over a KLX300R
it's comfort first, then style, but as I get older, I've got wiser if I was you buy what you want I've got three fast electric bikes all different judt go out for a ride on your bike somewhere different do a road trip I'd love to watch that cruze😊
But you should try a Harley of any kind you like the VROD get one of those. It’s expensive but it will hold it’s worth
I prefer a full faring standard. Having nothing in the front looks bad.
I was more a cruiser fan. But there arent many cruisers on low Budget that got over 60 hp. Nakeds drive chill but also have power
I think you would like the beta’s they have different bikes to ride they got dirt bike they get two strokes to rip in the dirt! I really like the beta! 500RR-S u can go off road and on road to explore! It does it all! Check it out!
Theres so much more space in that garage
Sitting in an easy chair 😂 true
To add to that, I guess I'm the one weirdo whose back & knees hurt more with mid or forward controls. Standard or tucked all day every day here.
Have you considered a Honda Rebel 1100?
Get a 2022 or up MT10 😁 I’ve got a 2022 MTTNSP. I’m in Tennessee if you’re ever here we can switch.
Pretty inexperienced here, just barely got my motorcycle license and have only ridden my cousins sportser and a duke during my basic riders course. I thought riding that Harley was pretty cool until I rode the duke. The duke felt like I was a little kid riding my bmx bike around town. Still kind of on the fence though about what I want to buy.
I just got a ktm 890 duke a few months back it’s built more like the mt07 engine and weight wise but has the pull of the mt09, if not more. I think it’s an outstanding bike so far but I’ve only got almost 800 miles on it. I’m hoping it’ll hold up to be a reliable bike down the road. I figured it was worth a shot to try something new since I couldn’t find an 09SP anywhere and didn’t feel like waiting forever.
The MT 07 looks nice. I only rode Super Sports bikes. The only problem with my Kawasaki ZX750 is that the foot pegs are high up, as a result my knees sometimes get bad cramps 😂😂😂. I have to wait it out when riding, it sucks lol..
Say Cycle Cruzer, Sounds like you sold yourself on staying with MT 07 ! Wise choice ! 😊
How tall are that bike looks super small like a grom
I was looking at the Cagiva 650cc naked, which was like an upgrade on the old SV650 with suspension and brakes but the peg position is terrible - very bad knee bend.
I just don't understand why they put pegs for a racing position on a naked motorcycle. I had the complaint about that 2017 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory. All Aprilia did was put some handlebars on a RSV4 and call it a naked motorcycle. Th ergos on that Tuono irritated me more than on my former cbr1000rr.
Any thoughts on the Indian scout bobber?
I've only ridden cruisers for the 11 years I've been riding, but I want a dual sport, a middleweight naked for the city, and a Hayabusa just because 😂
Get you a triumph classic range. That speedmaster or speed twin british standardm looks pretty nice. Different not common.. custom parts avail just like Harleys. Maybe try the brand new suzuki 800de I guarantee that bike is bad ass.
I know I know....no hypersport.. no adventure bike. No goldwing. No 109r no this no that. Most your street bikes have all been same style. Minus the diavel. Wich is just a premium naked.
Get the 22’-23’ xsr900
Where are you located? Hmu if you decide to sell the mt07 🙏
maybe try a yamaha tmax scooter somethink else and its auto i know i like normal bikes better to but where i live a lot of people ride them and ridem them hard in the city
Wait til you start wheeling the mt07, you'll love it even more
What do you think about the GSXS750 or the Z900SE. I like these 2 bikes best for naked bikes because they both have an inline 4 cylinder and reasonably priced.
I have the Gsxs750 and love it. Put a can on it and it sounds so good. Great handling and awesome brakes too. It will smoke an MT-07.
Loving my rebel 1100 touring.
Sounds like you should just keep the MT-07 a while longer. You sound way too stoked about it to let it go just to try something less exciting. Maybe you're moving into 2 years per bike territory?
You ever look into a Ducati streetfighter v4?
Yeah I was very close to buying a new 2022 Streetfighter V4S but instead went with the MT-07 because I knew the Ducati would bring speeding tickets like that Tuono did. lol The MT-07 keeps me from the felony speeds bu still had nice bottom end grunt. Next bike I get also has to have stout bottom end grunt.
I've ridden both a cruiser (my Aprilia Red Rose Classic) and a few naked bikes (Yamaha YBR125, Yamaha MT07 and Honda CB500F),and I personally prefer cruisers. I find the upright riding position on cruisers more comfortable,on a naked bike I'm leaning more forward so my wrists and sometimes my lower back starts to hurt after maybe one to two hours of riding.
Yeah some naked motorcycles have a more aggressive riding position. I feel like the MT-07 is a bit more relaxed than some naked bikes. I did not like that Aprilia Tupno's riding position, it was much too aggressive, as though they just put some handlebars on a RSV4 superbike. I understand why riders like yourself prefer cruisers, they are often the most comfortable for riders and for the most part we just cruise out here on the streets, at least that is what we should be doing. I know I would love that new Diavel V4 but my wallet won't. lol I can't justify 25k+ on a motorcycle when there are so many great bikes to be had for 10k or less.
@@CycleCruza Yeah,the Ducati Diavel V4 is a really cool bike,but also really expensive.
CC, I prefer a Naked Bike due to the more upright riding position with my feet somewhat under me. I'm really drawn to a CF Moto 450 NK bike !
I have an idea, how about you try being content with the MT 07, it is a great bike and you should continue enjoying it no matter what they say.
Getting a cruiser would be an interesting thing oh, I'm not sure what we're going to get out of watching you roll around on another naked bike
What tune did you put on the MT07 with the PV3?
I have both. My naked motorcycle (Suzuki SV650s) is better when riding solo. My Cruiser (Harley VRod) is better when riding with my lady.
The ladies love the Harleys. However, I will say I did get hit on by a chick when I was on my Ducati XDiavel, that bike drew a lot of attention. Most people ride Harleys here in Ohio, I'm the oddball who doesn't. I'm trying to get some test rides.
How about that new sportster s
It's funny, I got recommended this video after getting my first bike. And it being a street bike.
So much of it comes down to preference. It’s all about what style of motorcycle you prefer. The naked bike is great for all out performance coupled with comfort. A comfortable riding position without sacrificing performance, but I really, REALLY, don’t like the way they look! A cruiser is far less performance (typically) and probably a little more comfortable but they have the style I’m looking for in a motorcycle! So I went with the Harley Low Rider S. Still has decent performance, very comfortable (to me at 5’11”) and looks like the sh*t!!! I actually prefer the extra weight of my Harley too living here in Tulsa Oklahoma where the wind literally tries to blow you off the road every other day, ok, everyday!
I agree, naked motorcycles usually don't look as good as cruisers. Cruisers tend to have the timeless look while the naked motorcycle usually look dated after a few years and never really that good looking to begin with. lol However, I will say MV Agusta makes the best looking naked motorcycles but they always come in last place in the shootouts. The Harley Low Rider S is a good looking bike for sure. Everybody around here riders Harley, including any friend I have that riders, they all ditched the sportbikes for a Harley when they got older. I need to test ride some Harleys, they are usually good about allowing a test ride.
@@CycleCruza. You might check out that Indian sport chief also? It’s all that with the Indian fans, but I’m not into Indian motorcycles personally. They just seem to always be copying Harleys homework (don’t freak out Indian rider!) I don’t like the dual shocks, and their accessories are super expensive!! Their bikes cost just as much as a Harley too and good luck in the resale market.
The best street bikes though are those middleweight nakeds tbh... Nice and light weight and enough takeoff speed and that's all you really need.
Can someone help me out I’m new to riding I ride a 2015 mt07 my problem is the steering feels super heavy at moderately high speeds like 100 kilometres per hour and up (62 miles per hour) it’s feels like it takes around 70lbs of force just to turn to the other side of the lane I weigh 228 pounds btw so idk if it’s the style of bike the suspension tire pressure I got a feeling somethings not right
Check out my counter steering video: th-cam.com/video/K7YyV92Er8Y/w-d-xo.html
@@CycleCruza I do counter steer I push on the right bar to go right and the left bar to go left i push forward not down too the 70lbs is more at like 140-150k the bike just feels like it doesn’t want to turn
Check the air in your front tire?
@@jimperry4420 lower it or raise it? had it at the factory recommended 33psi in the front 36in the rear I pumped it up to 34 in the front and 37 in the rear didn’t seem to make a difference almost felt worse
@@brandonkarkanis4208 I was just checking to see if you had the correct pressure in it. If it’s low, it will feel heavy.
try a dyna HD
Sadly in Singapore... an awesome MT07 is SGD$30,000
Let me buy one on payments I’m just west of yah in Lorain
Having rode both, Naked for me. But, it all depends on you. Maybe as I get older, I will go back to cruisers
You're always and forever going to regret selling the "perfect" bike
You are absolutely right. Harleys are so outdated and heavier than any other bikes.
They like dinosaurs, and just look at the guys riding them.
Big fat older guys. You never see a Harley rider in good physical shape.😅
I wouldn’t call the Ducati Diavel a cruiser. My friend has one it’s really a hybrid bike. More sport than cruiser
Get the 2023 Fat Boy and some tattoos, then next year get the KTM 890 or even better the 🔥1290 super duke evo r with Austin racing pipe 🔥 Braaap!!! =)
To be honest, as big fat guy (190cm/150kg) I can't imagine myself on naked bike 😂. Where should I put my belly? That's why I prefer cruisers. Can't wait now to get my Dragstar 1100.
so the bottom line is forget sport bikes and cruisers and get a naked streetfighter.
Get a Hypermotard man! Its a blend of your two Yamahas man! Lets just ignore the fact its a ducati and will probably be a pain in the ass to own - its an awesome bike!
Beautiful bike but it is an odd bike that is trying to be a supermoto and sportbike but too heavy to be a proper supermoto. However, it is sick looking nonetheless. I have a love hate relationship with Ducati bikes, love them but I don't trust them and my wallet hates them. lol
@@CycleCruza LOL thanks for answering man, love your videos! Yeah I was thinking about getting a Ducati but I went japanese instead haha. Hey I hope you stick with the MT-07 if thats what your heart desires, I think too much of the community is stuck up on grass is always greener thinking. Anything new will get old soon enough anyways!
Naked motorcycle all day long the mid pegs feel the best I don't like the feet and hands out it feels too weird
man the mt 07 with a akrapovic sounds better then a harley to me
I've owned 3 cruisers and 1 naked. I will never go back to cruisers
Well there's no way I'm riding half way across the country on a naked
