Engine[edit | edit source]

Drive[edit | edit source]

The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet, multiple disc.

Stopping was achieved via double disc. hydraulic. optional abs. in the front and a single disc. hydraulic. optional abs. in the rear. The front suspension was a 41mm fork while the rear was equipped with a single shock, adjustable preload. The FZ-07 was fitted with a 3.7 Gallon (14.00 Liters) fuel tank.

Throwing a leg over the FZ-07 reveals a nice low seat height that should appeal to most novice riders; it feels lower than the claimed 31.7 inches due to the very narrow front portion that makes it easier for those short of inseam to plant their feet at a stop. The overall ergos are much better than the FZ-09; the reach to the bars is not only shorter, but despite Yamaha’s claims of the conventional handlebar being set 24mm higher, it actually seems lower than the FZ-09’s setup that makes you feel like a windsail at 70 mph and above. The only issue is that legroom is slightly less, so taller riders might feel a bit cramped.
