Yamaha FZ07/MT07 First Ride & Review

First ride on my new 2017 Yamaha FZ07/MT07 and I am in love! This bike Sounds amazing, rides amazing, and has so much torque! A lot of people probably wonder why I wanted a 700cc when I already have a 750cc but the truth is that they are 2 totally different animals. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for much more content on this bike!

Hope you’re all enjoying the FZ07 content, I know I am! Who wants to see a top speed run on the ol’ girl?! I wonder what she’ll hit 🤔 😈

[@Myrussell67]

It’s the cross plane crank in the MT07 that makes it sound so good. Reg parallel twins don’t sound like that.

[@Myrussell67]

Need to learn to use the trip meter. Lol

[@Myrussell67]

I wish my R3 sounded as good.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Haha no doubt, I like having the fuel gauge though. Very convenient

[@Myrussell67]

I get it because I own a klx300. It’s actually the first bike I have owned that doesn’t have a fuel gauge.

[@Amivit]

Saw so many of your videos 2016 before I bought my first MC. Gsxr750, crazy fun!!! That bike grew well with me. Too well. Eventually became comfortable exploiting that peaky power band and was flying around anywhere I went. I sold it a couple of years ago to afford a better car. But it’s time to return and I think this will be the perfect bike to chill a bit. Thanks once again for guiding me man. much love from Denmark

[@ChaseJasperDown]

That stand up looked so easy! Glad you’re loving the new bike bro!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

It was! Haha thanks dude!

[@kori891]

loving the content g !

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks Kori!!

[@greenmoto]

Beautiful bike. Can't wait to see future videos of you with it. 👌

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You and me both! Thanks man!

[@AdamSVT]

The FZ/MT07s are great bikes.. for me I'm a fan of the FZ/MT09s... rode one and fell in love with the powerband and overall look... who knows.. one day I might have to snag one.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Right on! Thanks for watching bro, good to see you back on here!

[@KarasuGT]

Nice bike man! I can tell you will enjoy this bike for quite awhile. Yamaha MT line is great for the streets. Owned an FZ09/MT09 and loved it. My only gripe was the suspension for hitting the twisties. Also, I feel you in the gripes about not having a fuel gauge and gear indicator. I’ve been riding for a long time. I feel that these features should be standard by now.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Couldn't agree more! The suspension definitely isn’t great, especially coming from my gsxr but I understand it’s a totally different animal

[@alexp6409]

Swapping bikes is part of the fun for me. No matter how much I like the bike when I first get it, after I've ridden it for a while the charm wears off and I'm ready for something new (so far at least). I just wish bike prices were more like they were a few years back!

[@bikerboiteinz717]

Happy new year and congrats, I was looking at it also. My road king got some issues might trade for a low rider S. I do miss sport bike riding though. Just want the power but street glide is just a heavy bike and it's not fun. I daily riding here in Va.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Happy new year! yeah I can imagine that's a heavy one, change is always nice!

[@scott547]

Nice bike, you know I had the MT-09 and I said the same. Hard to beat either of those bikes for the money! That being said I just traded it in for R1! Have fun with the new bike! Hope y’all are doing well. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Right on! I love the R1’s also, I’ve gotten to ride quite a few of them over the years. Congrats man!!

[@XtremeBUZZ]

That mt07 sounds great! The only one that I have found that sounds just as good is the Ducati bikes. Like the monsters, their sport bikes and even the diavel

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Couldn't agree more! Ducati’s definitely have a very unique sound 🙌🏻

[@NHlocal]

"A tank full of fun and enjoyment....." 😁 That really does sound good. 😃👍❤🏍

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

It does! Haha thanks for watching!

[@cmbiker]

The perfect wheelie machine! The low down torque on this bike is incredible. Enjoy and be safe!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Thanks, you too! It definitely is a wheelie machine!!

[@spaceexplorer6636]

Nice! Looks like a fun bike.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I love it! Thanks for watching!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

haha appreciate it bro!

[@NicholasNg-is8xi]

Hell of a pun, intentional or otherwise. Ride safe guys

[@EyesOnTheEast]

2016 MT07 have ran 40,000km (around 25,000 miles). Is that good to buy? Her owner is long-trip rider.

[@mrcherry4687]

Def want one after i sold the gsxr im sad but def my next bike

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Excellent bike! It’s a ton of fun!

[@davemcewen4748]

Top speed and track day!

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

You got it! Taking her to the track next weekend!! 🎉

[@rorysmith896]

Riding boyscott road don’t live far from you but interested in bike first bike 13 years use to race dirt bikes (amateur) back in Vegas this bike worth it? Or what would be recommended if not this bike? Prefer naked look

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

the mt07, mt09, gsxS 750, anything in that range I feel like you'd enjoy, especially coming from dirt to street.

[@hanford_adventures]

Im thinking of getting one to learn whoolies better. I havent ridden consistently in 5 years and i had a cbr1000rr and zx6r, along with a cafe racer and a kx125 and a dt125

[@hanford_adventures]

I want a newer cross plane r1 but those I wouldn't want to reck with learning better wheelies

[@TherealToppo]

Fz09 was my starter bike lol

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Nice! Excellent bikes 👍🏻

[@petronas7958]

I really want a mt07 and now I really really want one 🤣

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Dude they’re so much fun! Lol

[@dominickjohnston5881]

140mph is what my 2016 fz07 hit. Plents fast for that type of bike

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Absolutely 👍🏻

[@Szlejer]

LOL, my Husky 701 SM has no fuel gauge for a mere 12-13K. It doesn't bother me even the slightest since it has everything else. :D

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

It’s one of those things that once you have it you’ll want it, if you haven’t had it you wouldn’t miss it lol😂

[@jynxrides3945]

It doesn’t sound good coz it’s a parallel twin, it sounds good because it has a 270 degree crank giving it that extra torque grunt 💪🏼

[@douglasgrosch228]

try FZ09/fz10 next ----

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I’ve ridden the fz09 and xsr900 and loved both, but I like the character of the fz07. If I get the chance to ride an mt10 I’ll definitely do so 👍🏻

[@jeffh278]

Dave Moss has a good suspension setup for those bikes. Check his channel he covers it

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

Yes he does! Plan on doing that to mine before long

[@tranixter]

My favorite wheelie bike, it almost feels like cheating.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

No doubt 😂

[@one60studios74]

Usually it’s the woman who drives around on empty and the man who hates it lol

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

True 😂🤣

[@DILLIGAF88]

I don’t understand why everyone wants a gear indicator. I’ve been riding for 20 years and never needed a gear indicator

[@reallyoldfart6540]

Have just enough money to buy one, but stinking adult in me says, fix fascia and soffits...AaaaH! Had a freaking alarm clock go toast during power surges... What? Just this second the door opens and apparently lights are flickering on the other half of house, got to shut down.

[@SALTxTHExWOUND]

I hear you man, adulting isn’t always fun. We’ll maybe buy the bike and fix the fascia later…😅😂

[@reallyoldfart6540]

@@SALTxTHExWOUND Well at least I now know (as of a few minutes ago) it was the neutral up on the pole that was bad, and not my fault. That was freaky ghost like stuff going on in here.

[@Toast4days]

put a dirtbike bar on it and thank me later

[@gixxie117]

nice bike but just a little advice , if you're gonna do stand ups and use the rear peg , swap it for something more reliable , a friend of mine had his back peg snap on his gixxer at idle waiting for his gf to take place on the back seat before cruising off .. imagine if it snaps when youre on a wheelie or something else. take care ride safe bro
