    I just bought a brand new 2016 mt-07!!!

    :D I put a deposit yesterday on a MT-07 2016 Matte Silver. I'm picking her up on Tuesday. I traded in my 2007 Kawasaki ER6F. It took me many months to decide to keep the ER6F or go for the MT-07? The ER6F was a great bike, the best I've ever had! But it's almost 10 years old now. I've never...

    Are parts expensive for the MT-07?

    Are parts expensive on the MT-07? Say the bike fell over? How much $ would it cost for the plastic piece on side on gas tank? I have a 2007 ER6F, and although OEM fairing pieces aren't cheap, they're still somewhat reasonable; and of course, there's all kinds of other parts on Ebay. I was...

    Is the MT-07 really like a modern day RD 400 (1976-1978) or RD 350 (1980-82)?

    :) I thought I would ask MT-07 owners if the MT-07 is really like a modern day RD 400 or RD 350? Being a 2007 ER-6F owner I think the MT-07 is the bike for me if it is like those bikes I described because I had a 1977 Yamaha RD 400, and that was and still is my favorite bike. I'm concerned...

    Waiting to pull the trigger on the FZ-07.

    I'm waiting here in Canada to pull the trigger on a FZ-07 because winter will be here soon, and I can't sell my 2007 Kawasaki 650R now. Dealers offer me peanuts for my 650R in a trade; I find it very insulting because I put a lot of love into my bike, keeping it mint.:( Some offer $1,400 less...

    2016 Yamaha MT-07 Matte Silver or Raven Black?

    I'm coming close to trading my 2007 ER6F for a 2016 Yamaha MT-07. I like both colors. I just wondered what others thought of the colors? Thank you.

    Aerodynamic "Flat Plate Area" up to 100 mph

    Someone in aerodynamics told me the wind resistance should be fine up to 100 mph on the MT-07 because the bike will be in the "Flat Plate Area". That makes sense to me because when I had my 1977 Yamaha RD 400, I could take it up to 100 mph without a problem. If this is indeed true, I see no...

    What would be the proper screen if I buy the 2016 FZ-07 Matte Silver?

    :) I like the colors of the 2016 Matte Silver MT-07. I'm thinking of trading my 2007 ER6F for it. About the freeway: I really like riding on the freeways, but I don't do it all of the time, just some of the time, and I don't want to ride over 100 mph because of the strict speeding laws where I...

    Dimensions of gas tank for decal applications?

    I'm close to buying a 2015 MT-07, but I need the dimensions of the gas tank for decal applications? I'm sorry to bother the members of the forum, but I was hoping someone could help me with that? Thank you.

    Graphic artist the best bet for quality decals?

    I'm very close to getting a MT-07. I'm not sure if I should wait for the 2016 Matte Silver or get a white 2015. I want to apply decals from a different model, and I've seen them on the 'net, but they don't give out dimensions. I have a photo of the decals I want. I might as well have a graphic...

    What is the maximum comfortable speed of the MT-07 with a proper screen?

    :) I mentioned on another post that perhaps I should wait for the 2016 MT-07 to see if it will have a fairing because I like highway riding. I've seen some information about screens, and I want to know what is the maximum comfortable speed with a proper screen. Which company would make that...

    2016 Yamaha FZ-07 arrival?

    Does anyone have an idea when the 2016 FZ-07 will arrive on the showroom floor or when I might be able to see photos of it on the 'net? I can't buy a 2015 model because I need a good fairing for highway riding. Hope- fully the 2016 will have a fairing?

    Yamaha FZ-07 vs Suzuki SV 650 Naked

    :) I've never ridden a FZ-07, and I've never ridden a Suzuki SV650 Naked, but I currently ride a Kawasaki 650R. I've read so many reviews saying how great the SV650 Naked is and have read about a lot of people who wished they had never sold theirs. Is the FZ-07 even greater than the SV650 Naked...

    Is the FZ-07 buzzy?

    That's one of the reasons I don't like my Kawasaki 650R. I don't like how the fairing buzzes. I've fixed it myself, I've had it to shops, but the buzz always comes back. Is the FZ-07 buzzy? Thank you.

    Trade 2007 Kawasaki 650R Ninja for 2014 Yamaha FZ-07?

    :D What first got me excited about the FZ-07 was a caption of an article that stated, "The Modern Day Yamaha RD 350". Although I never owned an RD350, I did own a 1977 Yamaha RD 400 that has been my favorite bike to this day. It wasn't the fastest bike, but it was light and quick as a cat, and...
