Hey man! This review made me finally decide to sell my R3 and pull the trigger on the MT-07. I've had it for two weeks now and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot for the great review!!!!!
Dan mate..... Does your MT also have an annoying engine sound like a fan or a chain knocking? A sound that is there at times and disappears other times ?
george farrell Hi George! I would actually recommend the R3 as a good first bike! Since it is also better in price I think is a pretty amazing option, don’t let the 320 cc engine thing trick you, the R3 is still a pretty powefull bike. When I got mind I got it used almost like new, learned with that, and for the MT-07 I got it new straight out of the dealership. Two things to keep in mind tho.. 1 - the R3 is extremely light weight 2 - the riding position is pretty leaned. Make sure you go to a dealer and sit in one before making the decision. It might be a small bike for some people! Good luck man!
@@craigroets5035 Hey Craig! To be honest I don't recall man, did you find any videos online of the sound? I think the only annoying sound is when the fan comes on but I guess I'm used to it already!
"ECO" showing on the dash does nothing to the engine at all. It isn't a mode or anything fancy ... it's literally just an indicator showing that you are riding in the most economical part of the rev range (usually about 5K and under) at small steady throttle openings 😉
Fz07 was my second bike. I have had it for almost 3 1/2 years. I love it. I thought the roads looked familiar, and then you mentioned Clifton. Real nice roads out there.
DukeOfDC The transmission is very good, slick despite being sometimes notchy. It’s satisfying in a way that super smooth gearboxes are not. Snicks, clicks, and thunks.
@@mindspinn311 really? Just ridden a 2020 model and the gearbox was industrial lol, can't match my 2019 Cb500f. The power though of the 07 is amazing, shame that if feels cheap to ride.
Orange belongs to KTM doesn't blend well with Yamaha, Yamaha is blue It's like how your mom dresses you up for a school event You regret it same with the motorcycle
I got 2018 as my first bike. great bike and sounds sweet with a after market exhaust. I know have about 900 miles on my only have had it for almost 2 months
I just bought the 2019 MT-07 and rode it from Denver, CO to Phoenix, AZ and it was very comfortable & impressive at the same time. Wearing a 50 lb backpack I could only get it up to 117 mph and it took about 13 hrs which I split into 2 days! It corners great, front end comes up easy and the dual disc brakes stop it just fine! 41 mpg avg and people were quick to tell me how good looking the bike was! At just $7,350 it was well worth it!
I too love this bike. Super smooth and progressive twin power - not too little and not too much (to lose a licence). Just more smiles per mile. Great review, thanks.
"where the roads are paved, not just meteor stricken asphalt..." then cuts to footage that looks like it could well be from a former Eastern Bloc country, based on road quality. Man, first time I've seen your channel, but you did a great style of review! Big props for doing a walk around, which many "experienced" reviewers don't. You didn't smack your lips or do other weird sounds with your mouth that makes some reviewers damn near impossible to listen to.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I try to do some sort of walkaround on each video. There are times I forget because I'm having so much fun riding haha. Hope you subscribed :)
God I miss my FZ. Had a 2015 brand new one with the blue rims, and gray body. Dear god it was gorgeous. But life came along, and financial issues made me choose between the bike or my car so I lost it ;_;. It was an incredible ride even for a 6'3 275 pound guy.
I have never riden the FZ-07. I test rode the FZ-09 at Coleman Powersports last week. I own a FZ1. The FZ-09 and FZ1 are both a blast to ride. I hear that the FZ-07 is better than both of them in many ways. I can't wait to ride one.
Lovely little review, I am just about to go test ride one at lunch (here in the UK). I owned a 2016 MT07 for around 2 years, good little bike but sadly mine had quite a few issues. Hopefully those are ironed out on this new model. Appreciate the effort you make in your vids. Subbed.
@@caffeinful 3 failed sensors, swing arm corrosion (replaced under warranty) , coolant pipe corrosion (replaced under warranty), clutch issues. I replaced the entire clutch assembly but it started again after about 5 months. New swing arm and coolant pipes also rusted within a few months. Some of the sub frame was also so rusty the paint was coming off. Always covered and generously applied ACF50, still didn't stop the corrosion.
Bike looks really good with the subtle updates and that color livery! I had a 2015 and miss it. I love my Versys but I would buy the Yamaha again. Love that engine! It just thrums down the road so nicely.
So this is the first video of yours I saw and I immediately recognized Coleman power sports cause I just bought my MT-07 from there last week. Then I recognized when you got on 495 by Braddock road because I live over there. Very cool to see this. Subbed.
Hi! I don't know nothing about bikes so my question is: I'm a 6' - 240 lbs big guy. Is the MT-07 a good bike to me to start with or do i need a bigger ( powerful bike )?? Great video!!!
I just like keeping up with all the motorcycles out there... one's I'll never ride but I enjoy the virtual ride. Actually, I think you reviewed a Kawasaki Vulcan S and that was something that helped me go ahead and get the KVS. Yeah, I'm never going to ride most all these bikes you review but I like that I see them and always kinda compare to my ride. You have a great job keep up the good reporting. Thanks.
i heard that the mt07 had bad some fatal flaws in the brakes and in the suspension, but then i read that apparently the suspension was fixed in the most recent. I am looking at this or the cb650r as my first bike. Money isnt an issue but these 2 bikes i like the most so just trying to figure out which one to get
Man I'm totally jealous that you're near a dealership that allows you to take all these bikes out for test rides! I've got nothing like that near me and I need to find my next motorcycle to spark up my riding passion again. But how will I know what fits me most without being able to take bikes out for a spin haha
I had a 2015 Fz07 until I traded it in last October. Great bike and fun to ride with great engine braking but I never got over 51mpg so that 58mpg was far fetched. Great bike until 80 plus on the highway and then a little rough but really not made for highway.
that's the first dealership the one in falls church that I have ever walked in.. I'm 41 and I put a downpayment for a mt07 all black lets see how long it takes , I'm also eyeing a mt07 2018 9k miles.. lets see what happens I'm from Bristow VA and front royal area will be my playground.. va has beautiful bike roads
If you have never ridden a motorcycle not sure that it would be a great choice but who knows I didn't ride one until I had already owned and R6 for a while and still thought it was a lot of fun
Great review brother! I'm about to upgrade to this bike from an R3, all the videos I've seen are from people popping wheelies all over the place haha I'm more of a chill rider like you! Regards
@@omarpiane2379 It is not too underpowered I think, you can still do some fun stuff with it you just have to push it a little bit more! But I'm sure the brake difference is pretty big! (My R3 is not abs) The only thing to keep in mind is the driving posture, is much more aggressive!
Dan which R3 you talking about when you mention aggressive posture, 2018 or 19? And you mean more aggressive than MT07 right? :) Here I can find both model new, and both has ABS. My only concern is that I will suffer if I decide to use it to travel around Europe during summer time (4000 miles tot in 10 days)
MrKdr500 hi. I can’t try the Ninja 400 (no test ride where I live). I wanted to try the 390 but, after just sitting on it, I knew it was too small for me. I was also considering the CBR500r, I thought would be good for both daily use and to travel long distances. But a friend told me that it has many vibrations at certain rpms.. I can’t decide:) I tested an NC 750x 2019 Manual gear. Not bad. But I always disliked the wind buffeting and noise of cross tourer bikes (had bad experience on long journeys with a Vstrom 650 (my head would shake as if it was in a blender)... same with Aprilia Pegaso : less buffeting but so much wind at highway speed (even with an aftermarket higher windshield)
Hi all, just to clear something up incase the younger riders DONT KNOW there’s 2 versions of the same bike there’s the 47HP A2 license friendly RESTRICTED version then there’s the what Yamaha call the HO HIGH OUTPUT with a fair 75HP and these 2 engines are slightly different as the HO high output 75HP has more CC than the restricted version. I’m selling 2 bikes here in the UK to fund a new MT07 full power but will be putting a turbo on from extreme Creations from Australia which takes even the restricted 47HP upto 113WHP the de-restrictive 75HP upto 125WHP so stay tuned I’ll be doing my first ever TH-cam videos of buying the bike to installation and then dyno tune so you all see what can be done with the MT07 after that I’ll be doing the MT09 then the MT10 with 220WHP wish me luck. SCOOBS UK.
Did you try CB650R? How do they compare size-wise please? I am 6"3 and MT-07 felt way too small, the Honda felt just tiny bit larger, more comfortable.
The MT07 torque and acceleration might be a bit much for a total beginner depending on the individual. I wouldn't recommend it for a teen learner and would cautiously recommend it to an adult as a learning bike unless its the down-powered 650cc version. The nature of the MT07 will tempt you to ride fast and push it to its limits. My opinion - the full powered MT07 would make a great second bike after you have been riding 1-2 years and gained some riding confidence and experience.
I'm 5'7 and i can barely flat foot it. You might want to consider lowering the seat height but it is a big bike (height wise) for smaller riders. It's still manageable but to be safe, visit your local dealership and sit on one to understand the feeling of the FZ-07
Does this work for a taller rider? Im 6ft 3 and 250 pounds. So I dont think a 300cc would be enough for me. Im thinking a 500cc minimum, but there are a lot more 650s out there then 500s. Im thinking mt07, cb500r/f
I think there is no slipper clutch on the MT .. correct me if I'm wrong.. ECO means u are driving it Eco-friendly in the rev range.. doesn't do anything to enginesettings.
Yeah I do that too recommend bikes to people based on other people’s feedback. Like yourself when I get on one of those I recommend I’m a little surprised yeah I was right lol. Great Vlog man 👍 as usual.
I will first say, great settings used on the GoPro. Footage looks great. Audio nice and crisp man! I also did a review on this same bike a couple weeks ago. Go check it out and let me know what you think. 👌🏼😝
I recently had this same debate. Mt07, z650 or sv650. I looked at them all in the dealer. I found the mt07 to be the most comfortable. Some things on it feel a little cheap at times but overall I’m very happy with it. Bike performs great. Never leaves me wanting more out of the engine, and if some day it does I’ll put a less restrictive air filter in it and tune it. I’ve got an m4 slip on exhaust on it and it sounds great
Hey man! This review made me finally decide to sell my R3 and pull the trigger on the MT-07.
I've had it for two weeks now and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot for the great review!!!!!
That’s so awesome!! Congratulations my friend and safe riding out there 😎
Dan i’m thinking of getting an mt07 for my first bike, but i think a used r3 would be smarter. would you recommend the r3 as a good first bike?
Dan mate..... Does your MT also have an annoying engine sound like a fan or a chain knocking? A sound that is there at times and disappears other times ?
george farrell Hi George!
I would actually recommend the R3 as a good first bike! Since it is also better in price I think is a pretty amazing option, don’t let the 320 cc engine thing trick you, the R3 is still a pretty powefull bike.
When I got mind I got it used almost like new, learned with that, and for the MT-07 I got it new straight out of the dealership.
Two things to keep in mind tho..
1 - the R3 is extremely light weight
2 - the riding position is pretty leaned.
Make sure you go to a dealer and sit in one before making the decision. It might be a small bike for some people!
Good luck man!
@@craigroets5035 Hey Craig!
To be honest I don't recall man, did you find any videos online of the sound?
I think the only annoying sound is when the fan comes on but I guess I'm used to it already!
"ECO" showing on the dash does nothing to the engine at all. It isn't a mode or anything fancy ... it's literally just an indicator showing that you are riding in the most economical part of the rev range (usually about 5K and under) at small steady throttle openings 😉
MotoGoat Thank you for the info!
Yea my ninja 300 has the eco indicator too. Gradual Throttle use would keep my eco light on even running through all the gears.
Thank you for clarifying!!
I've got the xsr700 but before that I had the fz07. Riding with in the 'Eco' is the closest you will get to the 58mpg claimed.
Fz07 was my second bike. I have had it for almost 3 1/2 years. I love it. I thought the roads looked familiar, and then you mentioned Clifton. Real nice roads out there.
“Slipper clutch works a treat”. That bike doesn’t have a slipper clutch..
I know!! I’m sorry, I was thinking about the MT-09. Just goes to show the downshifting on this bike is so smooth
DukeOfDC The transmission is very good, slick despite being sometimes notchy. It’s satisfying in a way that super smooth gearboxes are not. Snicks, clicks, and thunks.

Jeremy Cubs It’s better when it breaks in and you switch to semi-synthetic Yamalube. But my Tiger 800 and SV650 are also nicer to shift.

I got 2018 as my first bike. great bike and sounds sweet with a after market exhaust. I know have about 900 miles on my only have had it for almost 2 months
0:40
Since when does it have a slipper clutch?
Dude you motovlog so well! Love the new color grading too!
Thank you!! Love the positive vibes!
If you're on a budget then the MT-07 is the best thing you could buy on two wheels. If money is no object then, Tuono Factory. :P
gonzo221 lol. I just sold my 2017 FZ07 for a 2018 Tuono factory
This man knows what's up!
@@DukeOfDC I was at Coleman Motorsports and there was a guy talking about you, nothing bad, just he said he knew you
Good video. The Eco icon pops up to inform the driver that their gear selection and application of throttle is conducive for good mileage
Thank you for the compliment and the clarification! I was wondering what that was for. Need to do my homework next time.
Shutting down the cylinders?
Nice review bro.. Love the quality of ur video and audio
I just bought the 2019 MT-07 and rode it from Denver, CO to Phoenix, AZ and it was very comfortable & impressive at the same time.

Congrats on the purchase , was that $7350 Out the Door?
Eco mode, "shutting down the power or the cylinders" ? It's just showing you that you are riding in an economical way and using minimal petrol, bud.
Way to ruin the "placebo effect", man!
I too love this bike. Super smooth and progressive twin power - not too little and not too much (to lose a licence). Just more smiles per mile. Great review, thanks.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great bike, passed my test on one and had one lent to me for a week last year. I bought a Ducati 797 instead. I do miss the MT07 though.

Just purchased this bike today as my first bike. Went originally to get a ninja 400. Walked out with a 2019 mt07. Keep the videos coming.
Congratulations!! Very exciting stuff
God I miss my FZ. Had a 2015 brand new one with the blue rims, and gray body. Dear god it was gorgeous. But life came along, and financial issues made me choose between the bike or my car so I lost it ;_;. It was an incredible ride even for a 6'3 275 pound guy.
Get back into one man! MT-10 is the shizzzzz
I have never riden the FZ-07. I test rode the FZ-09 at Coleman Powersports last week. I own a FZ1. The FZ-09 and FZ1 are both a blast to ride. I hear that the FZ-07 is better than both of them in many ways. I can't wait to ride one.
it's better in one way........ the price! you can't compare a mid size bike to 1000cc bike.....jeez!
You'll be very interested in my MT-09 video dropping on Thursday. Wait to see how much I enjoyed that bike :)
Nice to see a local vlogger! Didn't know Coleman offers test rides
Always love to see locals comment on these videos!
Yeah man, come in and try something out
I’m so happy you uploaded this video

I heard you say slipper clutch, i thought the FZ07 didnt have one?
Well how was it on the highway?
I just had mine on 15th April...been looking at the bike (MK1) since 2017, only this year get to ride it as my own
Nice man, I got mine April 1st! Hope you're enjoying it as much as I am, ride safe brother

How much does it cost?
You r from Kazakhstan? Why did you say it in 6:04?

Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh man, i know that bad patch of road @ 6:24! Gallows! My butt hurts just thinking about it.
So clunky!
I try to dive around it every time
Nice video mate
Duke, would you consider reviewing the MT-03 or the Z400? Liked your CB 300 R review.
Does it still have that on-off switch throttle snatchy feeling?
My mt03 doesn't even get 55mpg this won't get 58. Very fun bike and sounds amazing with an exhaust
Shame the US don't get the same blinkers as Euro. These big orange ears don't look good at all (of course they are easy to replace with nicer LED's)
Agreed! I would get those things off ASAP lol
Easier to recognise US version 🤣🤣🤣
5:04 kill switch bike is still running 🧐. Then at 5:22 key switched off and bike is still running 🤔
Alex LaJeunesse lol you caught a very minor editing trick. I had messed up with the audio and video, so I needed to shift some things around.
I'm either getting the this exact FZ 07 or the new 2019 Honda CB650r, love those 4 cylinders sound.
Congratulations on the upcoming purchase! Safe riding out there!
I had a 2015 Fz07 until I traded it in last October. Great bike and fun to ride with great engine braking but I never got over 51mpg so that 58mpg was far fetched. Great bike until 80 plus on the highway and then a little rough but really not made for highway.

I've had one of these before, great bike
I really enjoyed it too. The MT-09 video comes out in two days... just wait to see how much I liked that
Did they fix the suspension on the 2019??
If you have never ridden a motorcycle not sure that it would be a great choice but who knows I didn't ride one until I had already owned and R6 for a while and still thought it was a lot of fun
Bro can you help me decide what to buy this mt 07 or the ninja 650 2020? Which one is better for you?
Mt07 for torque or ninja 650 for confort. you have to sacrifice a criteria
How's the engine breaking is it still really strong?
I didn't think it was bad at all, in fact back to back with the MT-09, I would say there is way more engine braking there.
Great review. What brand of jacket and helmet are you wearing? Does anyone else know?
Check his description
What do you think about the Suzuki sv650???
Great review brother!
I'm about to upgrade to this bike from an R3, all the videos I've seen are from people popping wheelies all over the place haha I'm more of a chill rider like you!

Hi. I was almost downgrading to an R3.. I love that bike even though I am quite old for it (maybe). Too underpowered ?
@@omarpiane2379 It is not too underpowered I think, you can still do some fun stuff with it you just have to push it a little bit more!

689cc in this video is the HO version......Merica don't get the slower unit.

Jaroslav Záruba hi bro get the MT09 YOU WILL FIT THAT BIKE AND IT HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER SCOOBS UK.
What kind of camera are you using? It takes great footage...
The GoPro Hero 7!!
5:25 what's the music title?
It's down in the comments :)
How do you think Mt07 vs Mt15 for beginner ??
The MT07 torque and acceleration might be a bit much for a total beginner depending on the individual. I wouldn't recommend it for a teen learner and would cautiously recommend it to an adult as a learning bike unless its the down-powered 650cc version. The nature of the MT07 will tempt you to ride fast and push it to its limits. My opinion - the full powered MT07 would make a great second bike after you have been riding 1-2 years and gained some riding confidence and experience.
Cool bike! Cool vid!
Bless
Brotha you think you could do a review on the FZ 09 and the FZ 10
It’s your lucky week! MT-09 video drops today and MT-10 is coming soon :)
Martha Martha Martha! Cool video! I like that Yamaha went back to center on the gauges. Maybe they are listening?
MT07 has always been in the center, MT09 is still to one side......no big deal.
The MT-09 video is coming in a couple days!!
I think they certainly are listening
Whats with the orange indicators? Is this a US thing? Ive got an MT-07 (2018) and it came with clear indicator lenses (UK). Just curious?
Likely a US regulation
I'm 5'3 from Philippines. Do you think I can ride this?
I'm 5'7 and i can barely flat foot it. You might want to consider lowering the seat height but it is a big bike (height wise) for smaller riders. It's still manageable but to be safe, visit your local dealership and sit on one to understand the feeling of the FZ-07
What is your inseam? I think it's a low and narrow bike, but you would definitely be on your toes. Not an issue though since it's so well balanced.
does it have slipper assist clutch?
Does America have the 655cc version as well?
We got 2 versions in Australia.
LAMS - 655cc
HighOutput - 689cc
Learners can only ride the 655cc
in Canada anyway it's only one engine, the 689cc.
We only get the one version, but you're the third person to tell me about this other MT07 displacement bike. Interesting.
What do you think of MT-25 ? @DukeOfDc
HI man, nice video! AND NICE HELMET, what is the model? do u've a link for this one, like for amazon? thks & sucess to u.
It’s a Shoei RF-1200! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
MT 07,Z 650,SV 650 which is the best for India n road s!!??
They would all be great for roads in India. Comfortable and plenty fast enough. Sv 650 I think is more comfortable of the three but I could be wrong.
You're awesome for answering this question!
It a mt 07 it has aight on the side and the tank etc is different mt.
MT-O7 NOT FZ-O7 2 diffrent modals
They are exactly the same bike but in us it’s called fz while in eu it’s called mt
@@aggelostzinis704 no, the FZ is an older model I'm pretty sure, until they made the MT-07 which is the better newer more common model
does this bike viabrate through the handle bars?
A bit, as it's a twin. Otherwise it's not bad at all
How many times are you going to call it the FZ 07?
One more... FZ-07!!!!!!
Does this have LED head lights?
No, but the lights are quite good.
@@Cooler044 thanks chief!
Does this work for a taller rider? Im 6ft 3 and 250 pounds. So I dont think a 300cc would be enough for me. Im thinking a 500cc minimum, but there are a lot more 650s out there then 500s. Im thinking mt07, cb500r/f
Left ear loved this video
I've been having so many audio issues since switching over to the GoPro Hero 7, but a fix is in the works!
@@DukeOfDC Ive heard lots of other people having troubles with their GoPros. Seems like an over hyped brand
It's been nothing but shitty weather out here at the DMV.
Finally a couple beautiful days upon us!
I would add Grips to match the wheel color n possibly an Orange seat too
Got a brand new in the garage 🥰
Where can u get this for $6400? Everywhere I've seen is $7600. I will buy today at $6400.
Check out gorollick.com and see if there are any for sale local to you in that price range!
I think there is no slipper clutch on the MT .. correct me if I'm wrong..
ECO means u are driving it Eco-friendly in the rev range.. doesn't do anything to enginesettings.
I was thinking about the MT-09 when I mentioned the slipper clutch, my b! The only down side to taking these bikes out back to back
Yeah I do that too recommend bikes to people based on other people’s feedback. Like yourself when I get on one of those I recommend I’m a little surprised yeah I was right lol. Great Vlog man 👍 as usual.
It's MT, MT, MT... Master of Torque. 🙂
In the US it was FZ for ages... they were just trying to confuse me lol
Just looked at blue,/grey models for my Christmas present lol
Shuts down cylinders in ECO mode?//////......
I had misunderstood the function of the Eco Mode. Sorry about that!
I will first say, great settings used on the GoPro. Footage looks great. Audio nice and crisp man! I also did a review on this same bike a couple weeks ago. Go check it out and let me know what you think. 👌🏼😝
Thanks for the positive vibes! I'll have to take a look at your review.
Would this be a good beginner bike?
nevermind, answered around 4 minutes!
Sorry! I was backed up on comments. I think it really would make a fine entry level bike. The power delivery is conducive to learning
Torn between this and the Kawasaki Z650
Then maybe it's time for me to take a Kawi 650 out for a spin
Great review...!!✌😁...but my height is 5' 4"...Do you think i can ride this bike...? I m a short rider...greetings from Malaysia...
I think you could easily ride this bike. The narrow frame and low seat height make this pretty great for shorter riders.
@@DukeOfDC appreciate that...thanks...!✌😁
Im working on buying one im just getting really bored of my ninja250
Same. I had a Ninja 300 just to get to work and back and want something a bit different.
Get some new gloves man. I'd hate to hear you fall and ruin your hands. Just trying to look out for a fellow rider. Love the vid!
Check out my newest video! I finally broke out my new gloves
Here, in Kazakhstan.. I mean Northern Virginia.. :D
"58mpg" I usually don't get better than mid 40s
Learn how to ride economically it's achievable
I'm not sure between the MT07 or a Z650 ... I'm leaning more toward the Yammy, but I would get a realllllllly good deal on the Z650 ($1000 less)
Just go try both first
I recently had this same debate. Mt07, z650 or sv650. I looked at them all in the dealer. I found the mt07 to be the most comfortable. Some things on it feel a little cheap at times but overall I’m very happy with it. Bike performs great. Never leaves me wanting more out of the engine, and if some day it does I’ll put a less restrictive air filter in it and tune it. I’ve got an m4 slip on exhaust on it and it sounds great
I certainly would not tell anyone to BEGIN their bike riding life on a 700cc. I'd start on a 250 anything then sell it after a month.
it's not called FZ07 anymore.. it's mt.. I have the 2018 and I love it
I know, check out the title lol
DON'T set the volume on 200% when the music is on. Some of us use headphones and my ears are still ringing...
SO sorry!! I've since fixed that issue. Growing pains
