The chassis needs work, the engine is still competitive. They'd be right back at the top of the class if Yamaha updated the suspension and brakes.

Honest to God, it's been left behind. For not much more money, bikes such as the Triumph Trident and Aprilia Tuono 660 offer so much more.

Who cares about relevance? A cheap to run, easy to maintain fun, reliable bike. It’s never going out of style.

If you make it relevant, it’s relevant. You can get a few choice mods to bring it up to modern standards, and still save money over buying new.
What's the difference between the FZ-07 and its bigger brother, the FZ-09/MT-09, for everyday riding?

For everyday riding, the FZ-07 is way better. It's lighter, more fuel efficient and you can actually use the power on the street without going to jail.

The FZ-09 is the better choice, no way. On the highway, the extra power makes riding a breeze, and it’s not that much harder around town.

I’ve had both and I’d choose FZ-07 for daily use. The 09 is fun, but it’s almost too much bike for stop and go traffic.

The FZ-09 is more versatile. It’s a bit much in the city, but so much better for weekend trips and canyon carving.

It depends on your commute. If you are in the city, go with the 07. If you have a mix of highway and twisties, the 09 is the way to go.

For 90% of riders, the FZ-07 is more than enough bike. It's fun, but let's face it, none of us use that extra oomph.

I say go big or go home. You’ll appreciate the extra grunt when you need it, and the FZ-09 isn’t that much harder to ride.

The Goldilocks bike is the 07, it's just right. A smaller bike is overkill for everyday riding, and you'll save money on gas and insurance.
What potential buyer should know about the FZ-07’s biggest weakness?
10 January 2025 08:15
The suspension, hands down. This thing is way too soft for aggressive riding or heavier riders. If you want to push the bike hard, you’ll have to upgrade it.

The biggest issue for me is lack of wind protection. Around town, it's fine, but on the highway you feel like a sail. It helps with a small screen, but it’s never going to be a tourer.

The stock brakes are pretty week. They're fine for normal riding but if you like to ride hard you'll want to upgrade the pads at least.

The lack of electronic aids I'd say. Some riders may have an issue with no traction control or riding modes, particularly in the wet.

The seat is the worst part. For short rides it's fine but anything over an hour and you'll be squirming. Almost a must are aftermarket seats.

I really don't think there are any major weaknesses. It's a great all-rounder. Yes, you can nitpick, but for the price it's hard to beat.

Its biggest weakness is that after a while you want more. You start wondering what a bigger bike would be like, because it's so good.

The stock tires are pretty sucky. For commuting they’re fine, but if you wanna have a bit of fun in the twisties you’ll want to upgrade pretty quick.
