BEST comparison video I've seen! I have a blue / silver 2016 myself and was slightly tempted to trade it in for the update. But I love the tank graphics/stripes of the 2016 in both Armor Grey and Blue Silver so much better. Someone posted a headlight swap guide for our model so I may just do that instead (I do slightly prefer the lower headlight of the '18 but not by much). I love my FZ. A great do-almost-everything bike.
Thanks man I am glad you liked the vid 👍 it is a cracking bike and I will miss it when it’s gone 😞 I have a friend with the blue silver and it’s a very nice colour combination What do you think about the new model with the red wheels
@@TinManvlogger Yeah brother, I hear you. I'm going to miss mine too when its time comes. Though I've probably got a few more good years left in it. Are you planning to upgrade from yours soon? The white one with red wheels is very tempting. I've thought about moving to the MT09 but I can't say I'm a huge fan of the dual headlights (prefer the retro-modern single headlight) but it's starting to grow on me.. Maybe the next revision will look better. Or maybe I'll just go with a newer MT07 😅
I rode the MT09 and it was ok I didn’t like the quick shifter much But other than that it was good My bike is currently on eBay I am hoping to get more for it than a trade in at my local stealers 😂
B Masc I just fancy a change I’ve had it for three years My fingers are crossed as the trade in value is appalling 😞 I am looking at an adventure style bike and with so many to choose from I am spoilt for choice 👍
The new model is equipped with canister with breather hose to prevent discharging of fuel vapor into the atmosphere . This i believe is the new part according the usermanual :)
If you have the extra cash go for it 👍 If you decide to go for the 2016 be sure to check the ends of the swing arm for rust or repair for rust it’s not a major issue but it is a common problem I’ve has 2 swing arms and the second one starting rusting aging after 3 months 😞
Great video man! Thank you! I've finally raised enough money to afford the MT-07, it has been my dream bike for quite a while, i've owned only enduro bikes so far. I can't wait to buy one next month, but i just realised the 2018 model could be found just 500€ more expensive than the first model, so i was wondering if it's worth searching for one. Now i've convinced myself, improved suspension, confort and aspect, all that for 500€ it's a YES from me!
Bringing up an old thread here. Excellent comparison! I'm stuck between buying a 2016 and a 2018. Obvious choice would be the 18 but the 2016 has a lot of upgrades, including suspension and lower ks. Both great bikes!
I like still receiving comments on this vid so thank you 😊 Yeah both years are a cracking ride you can’t go wrong with either I miss my old MT07 so easy to ride and plenty of torque 😉 Just be sure to check for signs of rust along the welds of the swing arm on both models especially the 2016 👍
Update: ended up buying a 2018 😁 Thank you so much, im so thankful for this video, made me realise how much better the 2018 is.. and the crazy stuff is that i've picked one up for just 10% more of what a 2015 would've costed me
Just what I was looking for. Looking at getting a 2016 FZ 07 or a 2019 MT 07. Both used prices aren't vastly different. I just needed to see them side my side to compare. Thank you!
Christopher Arnott thank you dude 👍 I’m glad you enjoyed the vid For the 2016 models I would probably be looking at an MT09 used The MT07 is a cracking bike 👌 but not that comfortable on longer trips
I like the old one better. Better looking air scoops. The wheel fender on the new one looks kind of cheap. And the seat looks like a single long seat instead of two like the older one. To me the old one looks more sporty.
SaltyBro the way they have done the new seat is great by moving it around the tank rather than up the middle they have made it a bigger seating area Which I found more comfortable I’m not sure if that seat will fit my model 🤔 would be nice if it did
EnglishBikerDan yeah it’s a cracking little bike 👍 but if your looking at the 1000cc range now you may want to keep looking at these I’ve ridden the mt09 and I like the power but my 07 doesn’t feel like it’s lacking too much but I think if I had a go on a 1000 up I would probably be looking to buy a 1000 up The 07 is a lot of fun for the price and I would never recommend not to get one It’s a solid reliable engine that can surprise you rust is an issue but stay on top of it when it comes and you will get a ton of smile miles out of it
All true dude. I've been riding 15 years and I love the 07. Sure, the suspension is a little soft but you do get used to it. I rode the new 09 but couldn't get on with it. The seat really hurt my nuts too much! The MT10 was so comfortable and actually easier to ride as it was a lot smoother. I don't "need" a 1000 naked but I've been after one for a long time so I think I'll treat myself. I will find it difficult to part with the MT07 though!
I need only one more detail. Did you find ,or any of you guys who have tested both, find any difference about dimensions and comfortability? I've tested the 2020 model and I found myself way more comfortable than expected, but i kinda like more the looks of the previous model. Is it really worth to spend the extra cash on the new model o I'll be fine with the previous one? (again talking about dimensions). Great vid even though I'm two years late hahahahha
Joel Pedreño hey 👋 dimensions wise they are pretty much identical there really isn’t much between them to make a difference and the power is the same With the older models you would need a comfort seat upgrade and suspension upgrade if you’re planning longer trips I use to get awful cramps in my legs if I was on it for more than and hour without a break The newer ones do have a different seat shape which fell more comfortable but on longer trips I would probably find it the same over time and they have better suspension as stock So in either case an upgraded seat might be a good idea if you buy the older one be careful of rust near the chain adjusters on the swing arm look for repair work along the welds it’s a common problem and can be a pain not sure if it is still an issue on the newer ones
Yeah I like the new look but I Know what you mean by the sleekness of it The tail light on the older model follows the lines of the seat above bringing it to a point but the new one is similar to the tracer 700 which finishes a bit more square at the end so it’s a flatter on top making the pillion seat slightly bigger Which is good if you like to carry people 👍😉
Do you happen to have any idea which brand of tail tidy was on that 2018 one? I've just (yesterday) put a deposit on a 2018 MT07 and neither me nor the dealership could find an official Yamaha one on their site for the 2018 version but looks as though there may be? I've ordered the R&G one but not sure I like the look of it. Also glad to see the Yamaha fly screen does fit the 18 version 'cause that wasn't listed on their site as an optional extra either.
if yamaha uses this two inline crossplane engine in an '"R" version with a full fairing, it will be a great sportbike with a best sound.... its just my opinion.. anyway, great video mate...
it doesnt matter I think this bike would be a beast in an r version fully faired and with some brembo performance brakes 🤤🤤 and it would sound awesome 👍
Here in the uk I don’t think you would get a good set of springs under £350 roughly $400 I used pre load fork adjusters on my stock 2016 springs and found the adjustment they gave made an improvement here is the video link for the installation it’s really easy and a good cheap alternative ruclips.net/video/miDjp4H205U/видео.html
Zaka Pentax Yeah there seems to be an even divide between the old and new style vents I like the new style but your right the old style does look a little meaner
Unfortunately bud I haven’t ridden the z800e so I can’t help you there all I can say is I’ve had my mt07 for two and a half years and it still keeps me interested 😊🏍
May I ask a question? Are new one had improved switchgear?(I have a grip with the turn signal,as is sooo cheap and filmsy.So often had to look for the lamp as I dont know if I had turn it of or on when neeeded) Thx and sorry for my english
Ok 👌 I think it was nice to see them putting some other bits on the bike to give it a different look but they should have gone with a different headlight rather than the really old MT09 one
Julian Morgan yes I believe I am due and upgrade as well 😊 but I don’t fancy the MT10 or 09 Not sure what I want at the moment there is a lot of nice metal out there 👍
Ah you surprised me there! I thought you would of been a fan of the mt10 . I sat on the new 900tracer at jts it's nice but mmm is it £10600 nice ! One reason the mt07 / mt07tracer are popular I think is the price .once you start looking upwards of 10k other machines come into play .if my daughter wasn't starting uni this year I would of asked about a part ex this morning .but you know how it is, I can't be greedy while the kids still want so much lol
Julian Morgan indeed mine are young but they milk me for every penny 😂 But your spot on anything 10k and up you’re looking at other bikes 10k is a lot of money for a motorcycle And there is a lot of choice at that price point
Yeah I can see what you are saying For me I would like something else next time but the new one is a noticeable improvement on the old one The suspension makes a big difference and it feels better quality in terms of the finish on some of the plastic and paint work I think if you bought the new one you wouldn’t be disappointed It’s a cracking bike I’ve had mine almost 3 years and it still makes me smile 😊
For me I don’t really want or need more But it’s personal preference people do say once you’ve had a 1000cc you never look back lol 😂 I think change is good but I haven’t seen anything that can tempt me away from mine yet there is the 790 duke which has a similar engine and a bit more power but I will wait for a good long term review from someone on that before considering it properly
@@TinManvlogger nice.. I currently have my eye on 3 different bikes. The mt-09 just for the hooligan-ness and simplicity. The tracer 900 gt... comes with heated grips hand grips cruise control and saddle bags that one is priced right for everything it has... and finally the Indian ftr 1200s this bike comes out next spring it is a bit more pricey but it has amazing bells and whistles I'm really into the naked bikes
Quick question are you able to put the windscreen from the 2018 on to yours? I'm trying to buy a windscreen for my 2018 mt07 but I'm not sure they will fit. Just trying to see if they are they same size.
Ok The bolts do look a little further apart and the brackets are fitted differently I had a look last night Also the angle of the new light is more upright on the newer bike so the position of the fixings is different again I could probably get it to fit but it wouldn’t look right
I can’t say I noticed a difference between the seat heights but I believe there is a lowering kit available for both models You may be able to find some on eBay but probably best to speak to the dealer about it 👍
vszlavakov hey man I’ve asked the owner before and he said it was a Yamaha dealer extra for around £100 It was supplied and fitted by them when he bought the bike so it should be on the official parts list
Only time will tell with the rear swing arm rust I’m on my second and within a few months it started rusting again And I think it has only been out in the rain once in that time 😞
musjons hi The one on my 2016 was a mivv gp carbon I have and installation vlog on my channel and a sound test The exhaust on the 2018 was an akrapovic titanium it’s a more a more expensive option Thanks for watching
Volgnit yeah kind of 🤔 It’s probably not too far off what I have now but I’ve spent some money on some extras to try and improve my one I think if you had both models in front of you as stock you would get the new one as it’s a much better ride overall
MixedBy REDD yes bud there is no change to brakes unfortunately I don’t like the rear brake on mine it’s so vague I wonder if there is an upgrade kit other than braided lines to try and improve them
0:33 2016 is a beauty, 2018 is ugly Xp 1:10 I like the new indicator position, have done the same on my 2017, 1:39 how can you say 2018 is more agressive? It's clearly less agressive in my opinion, look at the 2016 agressive angles and design, 2018 are just flat and rounded, the tank cover too is way more agressive on 2016, agressive angles, 2018 less agressive angle. 2018 headlights are just old mt09 headlights, doesn't match the mt09 in my opinion, way to big . 1:47 this part is on the 2017 too.
Anyone know of a taller (not insanely huge) touring style windscreen for the '18? I'm trying to get ready for winter riding, but it doesn't seem like any are available yet.
Nice 👍 it should fit on like for like You will probably have to reuse the top plastic cover for the indicators as the 2018 one hasn’t got the holes as the indicators are frame mounted

Stubborn HVD they both look good 👍 but there are elements from the new one I would have liked on the older one Like the indicator location is nicer from the frame than the headlights and the Matt finished paint would look the nuts 🥜 on my 2016 model

Rear tail light on the old one.
Tank and seat on new one.

Really debating between getting a 2nd hand 2016 or spending the extra cash for the 2018 with its suspension improvements. Decisions, decisions 🤔
If you have the extra cash go for it 👍

RocketRyder510 thank you bud I am glad you like it 👍
The seat looks so much better now, can't stand the look of that deep seat and then rises up the tank on older models.
SaltyBro the way they have done the new seat is great
by moving it around the tank rather than up the middle they have made it a bigger seating area
Which I found more comfortable
I’m not sure if that seat will fit my model 🤔 would be nice if it did
R6 throttle tube will not improve a snatchy throttle. Quite the opposite, the whole idea of that mod is that it rolls the power on quicker
Are the MT07 and FZ07 different bikes? I’m so confused
Aiden Soto hey buddy no they are identical bikes 👍
FZ07 is USA (maybe more countries) distribution of MT07. Just different name, bike is identical
Great video! Can't wait to test the new model myself, I still love my 2016 one.
EnglishBikerDan thanks bud the ride is better for sure 👍 but I’m not thinking of getting another
What about you will you change to the new version
Really tempted. I need t ride one but I also have my eye on a BMW S1000R or MT10. I do love the 07 though, it's so usable on the road.
EnglishBikerDan yeah it’s a cracking little bike 👍 but if your looking at the 1000cc range now you may want to keep looking at these
I’ve ridden the mt09 and I like the power but my 07 doesn’t feel like it’s lacking too much
but I think if I had a go on a 1000 up I would probably be looking to buy a 1000 up
The 07 is a lot of fun for the price and I would never recommend not to get one
It’s a solid reliable engine that can surprise you rust is an issue but stay on top of it when it comes and you will get a ton of smile miles out of it

So in either case an upgraded seat might be a good idea if you buy the older one be careful of rust near the chain adjusters on the swing arm look for repair work along the welds it’s a common problem and can be a pain not sure if it is still an issue on the newer ones

Quick question are you able to put the windscreen from the 2018 on to yours? I'm trying to buy a windscreen for my 2018 mt07 but I'm not sure they will fit. Just trying to see if they are they same size.
Hmm 🤔 I’m not sure I will have to check that not sure when I can let you know though
TinMan thanks man, the bolts do look like they are a little farther apart on the 2018 but that's just me.
I haven’t had a chance to take a look yet bud but will try to soon 👍
Ok
The bolts do look a little further apart and the brackets are fitted differently I had a look last night
Also the angle of the new light is more upright on the newer bike so the position of the fixings is different again
I could probably get it to fit but it wouldn’t look right
does the new bike have a taller seat? planning to upgrade to this bike but worried about the seat. I sat on the older model and im on my tip toe
I can’t say I noticed a difference between the seat heights
but I believe there is a lowering kit available for both models
You may be able to find some on eBay but probably best to speak to the dealer about it 👍
why did they widen the seat? i can't plant my feet flat on the ground.
Jesus MLG do your feet touch the ground on the older model 🤔
what is the cowl over the headlight on the 2018? i like that.
vszlavakov hey man I’ve asked the owner before and he said it was a Yamaha dealer extra for around £100
It was supplied and fitted by them when he bought the bike so it should be on the official parts list
Where in Wales are you riding? Brecon?
Dave Bayliss this is Ogmore beach near Bridgend but we often ride around Brecon and find spots to cook food and potential wild camping areas 😊
@@TinManvlogger my old town! hows Porthcawl these days?
Dave Bayliss they have done a lot of work down there recently with some nice restaurants and places to eat
It’s a great place to go 👍
@@TinManvlogger What are your thoughts on the Triumph street triple R vs the MT/FZ07?
Dave Bayliss sorry bud but I haven’t ridden the street triple R so I can’t really say
Lets hope they've sorted out the build quality (Rear Swingarm)..
What was the issue with the old one?
MGL the rear swing arms rust away. You then get them replaced under warranty and the replacements rust 😳.
Only time will tell with the rear swing arm rust
I’m on my second and within a few months it started rusting again
And I think it has only been out in the rain once in that time 😞
That sucks. But good to know before I buy the bike.
TinMan my sons one did the same. 😡
Charcoal canister?
Brad Carter 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 maybe 😂
They seriously need a bigger tank.
Yeah I agree this bike would benefit from a larger tank capacity 👍
Does the stubby OEM front cowl on the 2018 MT07 improve wind protection at all? Just wondering.
Nathan Zhao no not really I wouldn’t want to spend a long time on the motorway with that screen
The new part is for the abs
Ok someone else said it was something to do with excess fuel ⛽️ 🤔 I will have to ask the dealer next time I’m in 👍
Would the 2018 headlight fit on a 2017?
Sorry buddy but 🤔 I’m not sure
What's the exhaust?
musjons hi
The one on my 2016 was a mivv gp carbon I have and installation vlog on my channel and a sound test
The exhaust on the 2018 was an akrapovic titanium it’s a more a more expensive option
Thanks for watching
So, just the same, only different ??
Volgnit yeah kind of 🤔
It’s probably not too far off what I have now but I’ve spent some money on some extras to try and improve my one
I think if you had both models in front of you as stock you would get the new one as it’s a much better ride overall
are the rear brakes the same do they still feel mushy and soft
MixedBy REDD yes bud there is no change to brakes unfortunately
I don’t like the rear brake on mine it’s so vague
I wonder if there is an upgrade kit other than braided lines to try and improve them
TinMan I've done research and only found that the braided lines is the only resolution for now
I wonder if turning the abs off would help
I would try and see what happens
The 2017 fz07 is the best version.
Good man 👍
Are you riding down southern down?
Chris Jones yes mate the area I went was just by there 👍
I think they are both great bikes, but is the new one different enough to encourage you to change hahaha!
OldManTony nope 😉 if I’m going to change the bike it will probably be something different 👍
Rode a guy's '15 fz-07, and it didn't handle worth a flip. My '15 CB500F was better, & my '09 Versys handles WAAAAAAY better than both.
I liked the 09
I rode the 2019 model and it was a nice ride 👍
0:33 2016 is a beauty, 2018 is ugly Xp 1:10 I like the new indicator position, have done the same on my 2017, 1:39 how can you say 2018 is more agressive? It's clearly less agressive in my opinion, look at the 2016 agressive angles and design, 2018 are just flat and rounded, the tank cover too is way more agressive on 2016, agressive angles, 2018 less agressive angle. 2018 headlights are just old mt09 headlights, doesn't match the mt09 in my opinion, way to big . 1:47 this part is on the 2017 too.
What windscreen is on the 2018 model? I really like the sleek look on the bike.
The screen is a Yamaha supplied screen so it will be part of their parts list I think it was around £100
Anyone know of a taller (not insanely huge) touring style windscreen for the '18? I'm trying to get ready for winter riding, but it doesn't seem like any are available yet.
I’ve had a look Bud and can’t seem to see any larger screens for the new model yet
Say it like akrapovich. Not a big deal but just saying. That is how Slovenians pronounce it.
Ok buddy will do 😉
Might see if I can get an 18' headlight on the 17 I have
Nice 👍 it should fit on like for like
You will probably have to reuse the top plastic cover for the indicators as the 2018 one hasn’t got the holes as the indicators are frame mounted
2016 model looks better they ruined the seat on the 2018 model
I think I preferred the seat on the newer model but I can’t remember if they guy had a comfort seat or not
Can someone tell me the name of the wind shield on the 2018 version ?
The bike had it fitted by Yamaha so it should be on the parts listings or pop in to you local Yamaha dealer they might be able to tell 😊
Thank you :)
Camera models ?
Barış Ögatlar my camera models are hero 4 black and session 5 I also use a gimbal

I have full Öhlins on my 2017 so no point in the new model
Just out of curiosity dude as that is an expensive upgrade
When you come to sell the bike will you remove the ohlins or sell with the bike
I can't speak on behalf of the OP but generally people sell them separately to retain value.
See that’s what I think as the ohlins hold the value really well compared to most bikes on the road
TinMan I don’t know I would have to see what I could get with them on and if not much then I would put it to standard and sell separate
2016 look bester
Stubborn HVD they both look good 👍 but there are elements from the new one I would have liked on the older one
Like the indicator location is nicer from the frame than the headlights and the Matt finished paint would look the nuts 🥜 on my 2016 model
It's not pronounced Akra-po-vik. It's pronounced A-krop-o-vich. Next on the list of Brit peeves, a flashlight is not a torch. A torch is a torch. Grrrr!
I’ve never once called a torch 🔦 a flashlight 🔦 wait 🤔 emoji keyboard brought both images up 😱 I guess were all wrong 😂
Chips 🍟 are better than fries 🍟 😡🤬
HEY!! You watch your tongs!
Lol 😝 ok
Original looks better.
Only the rear. But the front is much much better on the new one!
Lol I am a bit biased to my model but there are elements I like to the new one which would look good on my current bike
I much prefer the tank design on the 2018 model. It looks much better.
Ikr and the lightspeed button ! ;)
Syn het lol, I should learn to proof read. :)
mt 07 2018+ looks to much like a mt 09
Is it just down to the headlight as I can’t really see it myself but the headlight is the old 09 one I think
