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.

I'd say the mirrors. With all the vibration, they're practically useless at highway speeds. Almost a necessity are bar end mirrors.
Is the Yamaha FZ 07 really a good starter bike or is it too much for beginners?

Absolutely! But the FZ-07 is a perfect beginner bike. It's nimble, it's light and the power is totally manageable if you're not an idiot with the throttle.

No way, man. That’s way too much bike for a newbie. Begin on a 300 or 400 and increase from there. It will make you a better rider.

It depends on the person. It's fine if you can control yourself and are mature. If you're young and cocky, you're asking for trouble.

I began on an FZ-07 and I’m still alive. Just respect the bike and go easy for the first time. For crying out loud, it's not a supersport.

It's a terrible first bike. You'll get caught off guard by the torque and you'll be doing accidental wheelies before you know it. Learn on something smaller.

These days, people baby new riders too much. In my time, we learned on what we had to hand. You’ve got half a brain, the FZ-07 is fine.

I believe it is a good starter bike for larger guys. A Ninja 300 is going to feel like a toy if you're 6'2" and 200lbs. You will fit better in the FZ-07 and you will grow into it.

It's all about self-control. You don't crash because the bike does it, you do. The FZ 07 is a great first bike that you won’t outgrow in a month if you can resist the urge to show off and ride within your limits.
What is the one mod to do on every FZ-07?
10 January 2025 08:15
Exhaust, hands down. The stock one is just way too quiet and doesn't give the engine the justice it deserves. It’ll wake up the bike’s personality, plus.

First thing, forget the exhaust, get some frame sliders. Before you start making it prettier or louder, protect your investment.

So the first thing I did was swap out the seat. After an hour, you get uncomfortable on the stock one and a good aftermarket seat makes all the difference on a long ride.

Don't mod it at all! At least give it a few months to really get a feel for the bike if you ride it stock. Afterwards you will know what you really want to change.

No question, Fender eliminator kit. That stock rear fender is downright ugly and kills the lines of the bike.
