There's a reason why the Mt07 is the #1 top selling bike in the whole lineup. You hit all the points bang on!

Couldn't be happier watching you content of this bike. You have rich knowledge of what you are talking about. You've already been through all the phases and make sense of the best bike to buy. You're reasonings just make so much sense. Thank you for serving us with your content.

Haven't watched your videos in over 5 years.. and man.. you still got amazing content bro! Nice to see you still getting it done out here on these streets!

Man, i must add one more comment. You are by far the most honest and realistic motorcycle RU-vidr i saw till today. Really, thanks for talking truth. There's so much bias about motorcycles and big bikes/big power necessity myths, and I'm so happy you aren't going for it. Thanks again and keep up the great work! 👍

The MT-09 is a better bike in all aspects except price and weight. BTW, you are constantly comparing two different generations of bikes, the newer gen. MT-09 has different chassis and geometrics, etc. Stop comparing a crappy unadjustable MT-07 suspension to an adjustable 09 stock suspension. Please let Yamaha know they are selling the better bike cheaper. ;)

I think the naked 650cc class strikes the right balance between price, performance, and fun. It's hard to go wrong with any of them. My personal favorites are the SV650, XSR700, and Z650RS. I don't need any more power than what these bikes produce.

At 3:45 the guy walking by thought you were waving at him and waved back lol

CycleCruza you always put a smile on my face 😁👌

I still love my FZ07 even after 4 years of riding one. I have 39k miles on mine and it's still running stout! If you want even more excitement off the line, swap out the throttle tube with one for a r6. You'll thank me later! Ride on 🤙

The triple on the 09 alone makes it better though.

After owning both I love the cp3 surge. But the 07 all day is usable power, banging the throttle. Personally I'm a big guy and the 07 just didn't cut it for me on the highway. If Yamaha ever makes a bigger version of the cp2 I'm all over it!

Hey man just wanted to say love this video. This is the first of your videos that I've seen and I'm gonna subscribe. Iv only ridden my friend's sv650 in this format of motorcycle and am looking for that exact bike but maybe 20% more power. That would be the perfect bike to me so I think an MT07 would be perfect.

You do sell it well.... With so many great choices out there, I know that you put a lot of reasearch into finding what fit YOU best. Kudos for finding what works for you. Now I look forward to see what your passion for motorcycles will make of your Beautiful MT07!

cyclecruza with all the respect, you haven't ridden 21+ mt 09 yet, so please stop assuming. I have 21 mt 09 and have ridden both newer gen of 07 and 09 and from my experience 09 is a lot better. From power to torque, suspension, and etc. Please ride on newer gen before you talk shit lol. I love your contents and this is first vid that i don't agree on.

I feel like you do not like the mt09 because it was not made for you. And you did not do the correct mods, vcyclenut ECU flash!!! It's a must. mine would power wheelie in fourth gear at 100 miles an hour with the stock gearing. Racing from a complete stop or a roll nothing ever beat me to 120 mph and I ride with some fast bikes , I kept the stock suspension but I did a big weight reduction and I got a 2014 FZ 09 down to 394lb.

Good video bud thanks

Mt09 all day

Stop lying to yourself bro. Get the Mt10!

Never was, never will be...

I have 1/8th mile time on both bikes after many Dragy runs. (intake/exhaust/tune on both): 2019 MT09 - 0-60mph - 2.70sec 6.86 @ 106.02mph 2018 MT07 - 0-60mph - 3.17sec 7.38 @94.69mph It is quite a power difference especially on the highway but I too like the MT07 better. Riding slower bikes harder is sometimes more fun. Plus the MT09 throttle jerkiness is unforgivable.

Good video. You make a fair comparison

I'll have to ride both next year to fully get a grasp of both bikes. Including the speed twin

Most underrated channel I relate everything u say

To me as long as it brings a smile to your face it doesn't really matter what bike you ride.. I love the Gsxr750..I've had it for almost 4 yrs now. Most of my rides are under 65mph..strangely my back or my wrist don't hurt at all after 2-3 hours of riding.Ive rode from Miami to orlando 3 tines on it with no issues.. got rained on and it handled the wet conditions just fine ..no need for traction control if you got good throttle discipline. .its good on gas if you keep it under 8k rpms.(85-90mph ,6th gear 7-8k rpms) ..it weighs 419lbs with a full tank.125 Rwhp which is PLENTY..handling is outstanding. Decent brakes with a cpl mods... I don't care for Tech and gizmos..I just ride to ease my mind and explore...I'm not chasing any lap times..I just love the look of the bike.. occasionally I take it on the hwy super early and push it hard.. would like a smaller bike but ppl drive crazy down here in south florida.. I know if I need to GET AWAY ,This bike will hit 140mph+ REAL QUICKKKK.. thats why she's a keeper.. Great Review as always CYCLECRUZA.. this is my fav MOTO CHANNEL on youtube.. no ego..no bs.. just a man having fun.. MUCH RESPECT

3:46 - Dude waved to you CycleCruza, showing his respect for your MT-07!

When i brake hard on my honda nc, the forks dont bottom out but i can hear my shifter scrape the floor. Otherwise its good, only when sharp continuous brake pressure is applied its something you notice. Is that something the soft suspension on the 07 does?

I wish you started on the mt7 then the 9 then the 10,would be a logical advanced, but to each his own,glad your have fun

Cruza the 21/22 mt09 chassis is all new frame and swingarm and I can tell yah the sp handles and feels top notch amazing! The great thing about the advanced state of motorcycle engineering & design is it offers so much variety and models to choose from with their inherent trade-offs/ pros and cons that the difficulty is picking the one machine that gives yah the most satisfaction and usability. The mt07 clicks a lot of boxes for me too.

The Cross-plane engine gives it a special sound and tons of torque for it's engine size.

Got a super moto because of you man and I love it

nice review! what is your height??

How do you feel the xsr700 is compared to this?

I could go in so many different directions, I don't love my 2022 MT07, But I don't love my 2 HD's either. simplistic motorcycle with a lot of grunt , It is becoming a blast to ride. My favorite of my 3 is my 2014 Street glide. This has the perfect balance of torque, HP and weight for this 5'5" 160 lb 53 year old rider

My only problem with my 2014 Fz09 was the budget feel of the components but that bike bike was $8000. Never rode the mt7 but seems to be a fun bike.

I have a 2017 mt07 an I love it light zippy but like u said needs an exhaust an it's a beauty ✨️

The discrepancy between the quarter mile times could be mostly overcome by putting a quick shifter on the MT-07. Would probably bring it to within three tenths of a second.

Ive been looking at the Suzuki gsx s1000GT+ for 3k more you get a tour bike thats also a liter bike that you can go anywhere with. The only problem with the smaller bikes is you cant travel longer distance with them. Ive been getting bored just riding in my town ive been wanting to go exploring.

You can hear the buyers remorse in his voice

Hey cycle cruza. Great video. After riding both 07 & 09 bikes on long rides, yes your right. Both bikes are the same down low. The 2022 models are what I’m talking about. I’ve chosen the 2022 XSR 900 over the XSR700 because of design/level of build. Looks more “quality” if I had to describe it. For me, the MT07/XSR700 are too budget looking. That’s my only beef. That sound and better gas mileage on the 07/700 though….🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻! Only if, and I do mean if, the xsr700/mt07 had that quality build/production design, then the XSR700/MT07 would be my choice hands down.👍🏻

I've heard a lot of people say the like the mt07 better. Perfect for street. Plenty of torque, wheelie monster but not enough to get you in trouble like mt09. May upgrade from the duke 390 but the tech on these is so nice.

Let’s go for a ride

i would love to see you pick up a grom, even if you just borrow one for a day and ride around to give your thoughts on the little bike

What year was your mt09?

You got me up here missing my FZ07, 😆

You have about as much fun on this as you do your supermoto!

I definitely agree with you on this video with the 2nd Gen mt 09 the 3rd gen is a different story. But speed wise there isn’t a lot of difference 0-60-70mph that’s definitely true. Now highway I happen to commute the highway on both bikes mt 07 and mt 09 and the pull at 80 plus is definitely different. Buy what you like that’s for sure! Only ready I got rid of my mt 07 is to me it felt budget in the suspension area and tech. I didn’t go with the base model mt 09 because I felt it was also budget there as well my 2022 mt 09 sp suspension is amazing I love it. Also want to start doing track days at some point that’s another reason I went with the sp!

Which one is for a heavy rider for example for someone heavier than 225lb

Helloo i love this video And im sure mt 07 is a lovely motorcycle and u can have a lot of fun with it cuz you can actually open it up a lot more often than mt 09 But when i went in the yamaha dealer and i sat on both of them FOR ME mT 07 felt like a toy , like it was to small for me... And when i jumped on the mt 09 it fited me like a glove I loved everything about the sitting position and the aerodynamics of the mt 09.

As a person that rode an fz07 for three years I can say that they are crazy fun bikes. I switched up to an fz09 this season and I'm not looking back. I wish I could have both but if I have to pick one I'm keeping the 09. you can say what you what you want about how quick an 07 is but the lack of power is really the only reason I switched. I was bored of the power after the first 1000 miles. it's all subjective.

I recently had a chance to ride both of these bikes. Mt-07 with full exhaust and the Mt09 stock. Even stock I thought the Mt09 sounded much better. Power delivery is much smoother, though its a little more sensitive. The Mt09 is a lot more powerful all across the range. Ergos, I like Mt07 better. Looks, the Mt07 is also better. As someone who owned a Tuono V4 as well its hard to make that transition. Most of the roads are flat and straight here in Minnesota. There isnt a lot of curves. Having wind protection is more important then corning for me. I was ultimately disappointed and found myself missing my Tuono. Planning on test riding the Street Triple RS next.

Awesome video. Honestly can't go wrong with either MT07 or MT09. The MT07 is much more usable in the everyday city riding. But having owned a MT07 and now having a MT09 SP. It's not truly comparable the two bikes. As buying a base model MT09 doesn't make sense. As if you buy a MT09 and buy the upgrades to make it equal to the SP model. You'll spend more than just buying the SP from the off. The MT07 is great in city. But if you ride and commute into the city and also ride in the mountains. As here in north Georgia it's roughly near 2 hours to my favourite mountain, Blood Mountain. I think the MT09 SP is the better option. As commuting everyday you can't under sell cruise control. Relaxing on the highway seemingly makes the trip shorter and more enjoyable. As you said it comes down to each rider's wants. Either way the MT lineup is my favourite lineup ever. A new rider could start on a MT03, become a experienced rider and easily move to the MT07 or MT09 SP.

The MT09 has won many accolades on international bike review channels. I wouldn't discard it Cruza, low down torque isn't everything. How did the MT07 compare to other Middleweight machines on handling and suspension?

U going to look at the Honda hornet at its release? Looks pretty hype for an sub 100hp bike

Depends where you live. I travel mostly by highway and the MT-07 is just not good for highway riding.

Dude you have the coolest bikes 👍👍👍

Ok, it's a nice bike. Nothing to get excited about. It gets you around the city adequately.

Fresh out of my driver's license for motorcycles, the school I went to uses ONLY Yamaha MT-07's, anywhere from 2019 to 2022 right now. I have used the '19 for 12 hours (3 lessons of 4 hours each) during the inital manouvres course (slow and fast slaloms, emergency stop, U turns and such things). Then I used the '22 version for 12 hours (3 lessons of 4 hours each) during the lessons riding in traffic. This is EASILY a great beginners bike, it is extremely easy to handle, light in weight (relatively), it's got enough power on tap for both city and highway environments, it is very comfortable although I wouldn't really suggest touring with it (you will get sore after a few hours). It is also reasonably cheap on the user market AND most importantly, riding it is genuinely a lots of fun because it's nimble and agile and powerfull enough. Not sure about the 09 as I haven't tried it yet though, very curious about how it's going to feel after having ridden the 07 consistently.

Naw I ain't buying it. Could've gotten the triumph trident 660. Smh.

As owner of mt 09 2022 and mt07 2015,they are not even close. On highway mt07 s 5th and 6th gear is unusable. Mt09 is much more powerful ,also better sound. Mt07 is beginner bike more flickable and better for the city everyday riding. Those bikes are not in the same league. And I really love my mt 07!!!

I hated the stock mirrors and bought some Kemimoto mirrors on Amazon for $35 and they actually mounted on the stock bar ends. Surprised by the quality for that price.

Own both and just had a track weekend with the 09. I love both bikes for different reasons. I honestly don’t know which bike I’d pick if someone said I had to choose only 1. They both rock, but there is something awesome about the 07. That cp2 engine is such a an awesome engine. Predictable, confidence inspiring, and exciting at the same time. Takin my 07 to the track next month and cannot wait to ring its neck and absolutely push it to its limit out there. The 09 was amazing on the track minus pretty soft suspension

the mt-07 is amazing but cycle cruza I wanna see you put the 72v battery and controller for the surron that thing would be busting wheelies at any speed

I wish suzuki would bring back the sv1000

I want to get 1/4 mile times on my FZ-07 before and after I add a quick shifter..

dude you have to adjust the suspension to your weight and driving style. these bikes often times come from the dealership not even set to stock settings. some kid throws it together and that's it. he/she might leave the clickers and preload at a complete random spot. all the in or all the way out. they don't care and even if they do it's not setup for YOU

There no replacement for displacement but nothing wrong with liking what you like

I love my MT07HO with full Akra race series exhaust.

About the MT 09 I love it's size (at least the older version) I was shocked the first time that I laid eyes on one, the engine to body ratio is crazy, I just hate all those electronics but the MT 07, I stood next to one at a certain time and I must say I agree with you that bike has a welcoming body in real time

If you like the MT07 so much, you would love the 890 R.

took mt09 in real rough road twisties, god i felt the poor suspension, nothing like my fireblade was, one day i get the ohlins, but for now very happy with mt09 i cant afford to change bike n dont want to, love my mt09, i notice if i ride a lidl more sensibly throttle easier on hands too, n safer riding i guess, wan get comfort seat, n screen, n c,control make her a good tourer, cruiser.

The mt09 is way faster than the mt07. They do not compare in the slightest

MT07 all day! Rode my boy’s xsr900 a few times. It’s fast on the top end and all but my MT07 just fits me all around. We did a few pulls and of course he dusted me after about 90 mph, but being practical, I don’t need to go 100+ all the time. MT07 pulls away at a stop for a few seconds all the time. On the twisties, I’ve always kept up with the xsr900 unless there’s a long straightaway. The mt07 is just right. It even kept up with other super sport bikes until there’s a long straightaway, doing spirted rides in the twisties.

Now you just need to get an MT-10 to complete the trilogy!

Everything you're saying is exactly what I said when I owned my 07. Owned a 2017 FZ07 and now a 2021 MT09SP. I fully agree about the 1st and 2nd gen MT09s. I test rode them a bunch of times and couldn't get into them. Rode them stock and modified. Just felt like and amazing engine in a sloppy chassis with subpar suspension. However, 3rd gen MT09 came out, test rode it, and placed an order the next day. It is worlds better than the previous generations and the bike it should have always been. I think you should make it clear that you're referring to the previous gen 09s. It's not just slightly updated, it's a different bike. You owe it to yourself to give it a ride to see the difference.

I also enjoy the 07 more than the 09. Had two 07s then got a 09. The 07 was more nimble, narrow, and lighter while still having fun usable power. I also think it looks and sounds better. Numbers on your part don’t tell the full story. The 09 is cool no doubt but I still preferred the character of the 07 over the 09

It's not! I've had an MT07 and just bought a new MT09, it's way better than the old MT09 and way better than an MT07, I'd say your 09 must of had problems, mine pulls like a train in 6th

The MT07 comparison with Triumph Trident. Winner the Trident. Moto Bob channel, different opinions.

been thinking about getting an r7 until i seen these mt-0s. i think i’m gonna get a mt-07 😤
