This is MY OPINION of why I think the Yamaha FZ/MT-07 is a better buy than MOST 600cc sport-bikes (especially a R6). By no means is this video meant to trash R6’s or anyone that rides them, I just really think FZ07’s are a great bang for your buck motorcycle that offer really good performance, comfort, and reliability for less than pretty much all of the new sport bikes.
.
I made a couple comments throughout the video almost making it seem like the FZ-07 is a slow motorcycle when that’s far from the truth. They are VERY QUICK motorcycles (from 0-100MPH), I will note that they tend to fall on their faces after 100MPH until they reach their top speed of around 135. The bottom line is… they aren’t the fastest options out there. I really like how usable the power is and that in itself is the reason why it such a fun bike to ride on the street. One of the problems with modern sport bike culture is that a large majority of riders end up getting a motorcycle that’s too fast to the point that they aren’t cable of using the bike to it’s full potential, I feel like the FZ-07 is close to a perfect balance and really gives you the chance to ride it to its full capability.

The brakes really aren’t that bad either, it has more than sufficient stopping power. The suspension could be better, but for a lot of riders it will be more than enough to get them started.

Pros:
• Very usable power
• Awesome exhaust note
• Fairly comfortable (compared to sport bikes)
• Aesthetically good looking
• Very cost effective
• Reliable
• Easy to work on
• Great bike for wheelies
Cons:
• Falls on face after 100MPH
• Underwhelming suspension
• Spongy front brakes
• Rubber mounted handlebars (back and forth play)
• Feels “cheap”
