@rampage3337 2 года назад

yeah the MT-07R is just to compromised. like it has the aggressive riding position that reminds you of sport bikes but has non of the actual power and just falls flat on it's face. there is a reason F1 cars are all HP no torque. hp is just how fast you can do something while torque is how hard you can go. better to not sacrifice comfort for something that don't meat up to the standards of how a sport bike should be riden. better to get the comfortable mt-07 and just enjoy yourself.

@jerodwolford2743 13 часов назад

As much as I really enjoyed the r7s aggressiveness, I think I'd faster get an mt07 as well. Simply for the daily factor. The mt07 is more of a playful bike and I'm getting the impression that the r7 is more serious, which is fine because I like the twisties, but I can only afford one newer bike right now. Ideally I'd like to have an mt07 and a zx636

@chadshields8154 2 года назад

OC: R7 because i want the plastics. But what about R7 vs CBR650R. That would be an awesome video.

@Croth4r 2 года назад

CBR650R = more relaxed position, 4 cylinders so its mellow in low revs and goes hard in high revs, opposite of high torque at low rpm of R7.

@azuma9051 2 года назад

It’s a really serious issue and causes a lot of debate, in my country R7 are only 30$ cheaper than 650R, lots of people choose Honda simply for 4 cylinders, HSTC(my country rains often which makes it important) but Yamaha actually refused to get any more orders for R7 since yesterday, because they sold “too good” as they can’t consume the current orders in a short time.

@chrispeterson1247 2 года назад

The Honda is about $1000 or so more expensive.

@you_shot_who_in_the_what 2 года назад

Dave Moss has a video tutorial on mostly fixing the suspension issues with the FZ/MT-07. Stiffer springs, thicker fork fluid and lowering forks a few mm really make the bike handle better. It really helps and it's only a couple hundred dollars.

@joecamel6835 2 года назад

Thick, stiff, and low ?

@toshi4366 2 года назад

@rampage3337 2 года назад

yeah the suspension is a bit soft. i know on my fz6n the front needs a bit of stiffening and the rear a bit to. it transfers the weight during braking to much to the front wheel. ok for every day riding but if i need to brake a bit more aggressive then it can lighten the rear a bit to much.

@groundsurvivalstudygracieg4034 Год назад

The MT is what I ride and it's been my first bike, bought in '21. I do t really have any experience to compare it to, but I can tell the suspension being as soft as it is is probably a choice Yamaha made because they knew a bunch of new riders would be setting wheelies down. I'm getting used to leaning more in the corners and I can't help but wonder how different it would feel with stiffer suspension.

@codysearchfield8258 2 года назад

oc: YOO today I purchased my first street bike! 2021 mt-07. Had my cousin ride it home from the dealership since it’s in a very busy part of town, but spent about an hour and a half riding around near my house afterwards trying to get reacquainted with two wheels. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been on a motorcycle, so I was taking it very slowly. Hardest part so far is remembering I don’t have self-cancelling blinkers! Even more so than rev matching (‘course, I’ve been driving a stick since 2012).

@hitokiribattousai6406 2 года назад

I bought the FZ-07 new in 2016 after watching Chase's review then. Still have the bike and really cherish it. Got rid of my speed triple a few years back, as I always said the Yamaha was more fun. My buddy bought the FZ-09 same day I bought the 07. I rode it and it was an extremely uncomfortable seat. He picked up a lot of bikes after he traded in the 09: a Busa, a Drz400, Ninja 400, a Kawasaki z650 (which was surprisingly buzzy), and i always was more happy to throw a leg over the 07 after riding those. It's torquey, lightweight, reliable, economical, and affordable. I'll have this bike for a long while. I should be picking up an 890 Duke R in a few weeks :)

@rampage3337 2 года назад

yeah if you go for sport bike then the R7 is not worth it. why pick the looks of the R7 over the comfort of the MT-07 when the R7 don't even really have that much more power. like what's the point of being uncomfortable and then also compromising on the actual things that makes a sport bike a sport bike. you get all the discomforts of a sport bike but the power of a comfortable naked. also kind of dumb they named it R7 when it's clearly not even a R7 but a MT-07R. i think the R7 would do even better if it was marketed as MT-07R

@krispewkrem3 2 года назад

When switching, being on the R7 seemed like a punishment. Which makes me R7 is a great track bike or second bike. The MT-07 is the daily rider. The bike you could ride every day and hit the track and go off road on some minor trails. It’s almost like a dual sport. It’s almost super sporty. It’s just so good. I have watched EVERY first ride. And nothing has my attention as much as the MT-07.

@kevinjohnston994 2 года назад

Got to hop on both of these during a Demo Day last week. The only other bike I have been on is my Ninja 400 which I love and was my first bike. What an incredible experience getting to ride both of these in the same day, as a noobie, I don't think you can go wrong with either of these as long as you can tolerate the riding positions. I wish they got us on the highway like you said you were going to, though... ;)

OC: I've been riding 5 years on naked bikes, and they are comfortable af and handling has always been amazing. I mainly ride city and backroads, never going very fast, more torquegang than speedgang. But I'd want the R7 because it's different, I'm willing to have to train my back and abs for the looks. I'd honestly only need to change the exhaust, and maybe the plate holder and would have a pretty much perfect looking bike

@MT-THNDR207 2 года назад

R7 is cool, but MT07 is where it's at.

@wildbikerbill6530 2 года назад

I think you underestimate how much "train for my back" the R7 likely takes. Typical of 'racebikes with lights' is high footpegs and that lean way forward position. The high footpegs can have your hips and knees on the edge of cramping. The lean way forward position not only strains your back, but puts a ton of weight on your wrists and hands as well. It can all get really old, really fast.

@jakekibble2874 2 года назад

The R7 with a flat bar conversion and slightly cut front fairing would be the best in between! Kinda like the Aprilia Tuono styling, more manufactures need to take that 'mid' approach!

@rampage3337 2 года назад

nah i hope not. because this is not a ''mid'' approach. it's a more of a mislabeled bike. it's not a sport bike like the R6 it's just kusins with it. the R7 is a MT-07R . and while i do agree that full fairing versions of the naked bikes is a good thing that we do need. i also think that those bikes should at least not compromise comfort when they got a platform that falls flat on it's face when doing the stuff it's suppose to do. they don't need allot of power but they can't make 70hp and call it a day. i would not actually have anything against them doing something like a 90-100hp bike that revs a bit higher and can live up to the name. not against slower mid size bikes but just think that if you are gonna compromise the comfort then at least go all out and don't half ass it. or just don't build it as a full blown track bike in mind and rather do what they did before and just build a sporty touring bike like the FZ-6R you know something that is a bit more comfortable for daily use but still has fairings and the potential to go racing.

Now, after having owned the bike for nearly a year, and it having become my daily driver, I honestly can't imagine living without it and will probably pick another one up when i move back to the states in four months time.

@jodyshortland9875 2 года назад

To be honest when the R7 was announced I wasn’t a fan, but having ridden on an R125 cbt license for 3 years now and looking ahead it is starting to grow on me. I love my supersports and always love being locked in as you say. Also in terms of price and power it’s a good transition going from 11hp to about 80hp. I was originally thinking the 2020 R6 but that’s about 130hp and more expensive. I would love to jump on the R6 straight away but my common sense is winning me over and the more I do research on the R7 the more I am liking it 🤘

As far as fun factors go: I actually hear that the MT-07 is the way to go over the 09. People say since it’s lighter and you feel you get more ‘use’ out of it, it’s more fun. Whereas the other has more power but feels more like a chore doing anything. I think even Chase in one of his videos mentioned he probably would do the MT-07 over his MT10 because of that.

@Frank_Torre 2 года назад

OC: Gotta pick the MT07. More comfortable ride and easily the better daily over the R7. As I do so much more commuting then technical riding. Being comfortable during that commute sees me arrive in a better mood. Rather than arrive and being kinda grumpy because my back is sore. Beside once you ride in the mountains doing some technical riding on a naked bike, you'll adjust to that upright position while in turns. So you'll still enjoy mountain riding on the MT07.

I'm mostly going to be riding around small towns and to work and back (20 miles round trip) on a 50-55mph road. The seating position is much closer to downhill mountain biking and dirt bikes and riding a bicycle with no hands which I can do for miles and miles, that I really think I'm leaning MT07. Plus the 2024 with bright teal wheels is really futuristic and cool looking imo.

That R7, for me and my riding style, looks like it should’ve been my choice (based on looks and ride style alone.) I came up on sport bikes, so it’s hard for me to not want to lay on the tank and open it up. Other than that, they’re pretty much the same bike (same engine at least). Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t get rid of my bike, but I do prefer the sport bike setup more than the upright. Great video as always, Chase.

I have the MT-07 2021 Blue version. I'm absolutely in love with the bike! I mostly go on mountain trips and rarely go past 100 km/h. Also I'm a software engineer student and as a result I sit in front of the computer for extended period of time and could not stand the body position of any sport bike :/

@redsolosendyboi3455 4 месяца назад

Just bought my first bike, i happened to pick up an MT07. It was between it and the kawa z650. The only reason I picked the yama is because as a taller rider (5'11') it was more comfortable and my hips weren't cramping.

@wheelz_on_wheels6384 2 года назад

I already have a Yamaha v star 950 for comfort so I definitely want the R7 so I can get back to attacking some curves

@blackrhino44 2 года назад

OC great review and comparison guys, I just wish you’d done a 0-60 test then it would be perfect. Please comment below if you know the numbers. Anyway, I’d pick the MT-07 so I could pop fat wheelies and because my back would seize up on the R7 and I’d get off it walking like an 80 year old gramps. Cheers.

@brunogomez5607 2 года назад

I have an R3 and even though the position might be uncomfortable love how light it feels, like you can easily move around on it, for me the next step would definitely be an R7

@jordansims5947 2 года назад

I got a r3 too and I think the riding position is more aggressive on the r7.

@MaxMaximchuk 2 года назад

Actually I got a r3 too and I've ridden r7 on Yamaha demo day, and yes, the sitting position on r7 way more aggressive. You should try it first.

@Mr_N0_0ne 2 года назад

@Ninjaetlam 2 года назад

OC: I got the 21 MT-07 and am pretty happy with the bike! After doing a trackday with it the only thing thats bugging me a bit are the brakes. I already changed the brake pads but you still have to use a lot of force for hard braking. Also I feel like they dont give very clear feedback under hard braking and the ABS kicks in pretty early. But the ABS part is not really a problem with street riding. Im definitly going to do a testride on the R7 and see how it compares. Other then that i totally agree that the MT07 is really playful and great fun to ride!

@Yamahog 2 года назад

Ha ha,.... Good review guys. Ok Chase. Hands down the MT . If I had modded that MT....., it would have a lower seat, ( sitting in the bike ,per se), and more cushy seat geometry....>>>> ends you up with the Bolt...( although its an IL2 rather than a CP2 engine). Either way,... The R7 loses it's bet with me....And the MT needs a windscreen to boot. Ciao.

@vandall0160 2 года назад

MT-07 for sure, so much so I bought one. Living in East TN I get the best of both worlds being able to commute from the burbs to downtown, and on the same day head up to the mountains and hit the twisties. At 220lbs and 6"1' th MT-07 is so comfortable it was worth the downgrade from the ZX9 as it is an all in one and does all I need it to do while not needing a chopper to fly me out to the chiropractor.

@caseyp17 2 года назад

very nice. I'm deciding between these 2 bikes and I live in the exact same area as you and also the same exact body type so think I'm beginning to lean more towards the MT-07 now myself. Maybe see ya out there sometime soon

OC - For me probably the R7 because it’s looks amazing and it’d be my first bike to ride and go cruising with friends. The MT-07 would be fun and comfortable but the R7 just does it for me. It wouldn’t be a primary vehicle but if I rode all the time then MT-07.

@hectichive889 2 года назад

Hey man, I’m considering getting into ‘sports’ bikes coming from an Indian Scout Twenty and one day I’d like to add something like this to the collection. Either one of these seem perfect considering it actually has some midrange power instead of only top end like the track bikes (only gonna use it for street anyways). Anyways, my question to you is, especially compared to the 1100cc scout with 100hp 72 lb-ft of torque, which both specs are decently higher than this bike, how will they compare speed and acceleration-wise, if you know what I mean? I know normally a 600cc sports bike like the r6 would absolutely smoke my bike, but I’m not too knowledgeable about naked bikes and they’re obviously way different. Either way, point is, my current bike has a good bit more horsepower and torque, so how do these compare in speed? I guess I could always go for an mt-09 or 10 or something if going with a naked considering I’m literally trying to compare a 690cc to a 1100cc, but I was still under the impression these are a bit more sporty than my cruiser and thus would be faster even being much less engine displacement lol. You can tell I’m not knowledgeable

MT-07 is hard to beat even when its compared to basically the same bike. Even with the R7 having a few higher grade components the MT-07 is king on the street. Plus the MT-07 is cheaper. I love mine I know that much.
