gomeybear Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hello all, So one of the dealerships in my area is cutting me a good deal on a 2015 fz07. Do you all think picking up a 2015 comes with any issues that have been addressed on the 2016 model bikes? It seems like manufacturers usually correct issues after the first year bike was released. Correct me if I am wrong but 2015 was the first year this bike was introduced in the American markets right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdifabrizio Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Color. Once the throttle is cracked on, it is rolled on evenly, smoothly, and consistently throughout the remainder of the turn. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1738084489772201/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I am wrong but 2015 was the first year this bike was introduced in the American markets right?It is the first year for the US, but the MT-07 AKA almost the exact same bike (except for airbox essentially) has been in Europe since 2013 I think, so there were no major issues to be sorted for the first year in the US.

Beemer Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Nothing that has been proven or admitted. Color doesn't affect the bikes performance right? Oh, wait ...... I recall red is the fastest color. Ha! Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ornery Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hell, the new black color alone is worth going to a 2016, even at a premium. But, consider the higher resale value. Imagine you're going to buy a used FZ07 a few years from now. You find two, both the same color, same mileage, same condition. Only difference is, one is a 2015, and the other is a 2016.

ornery Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think that's an acquired taste. Maybe not. Maybe I'm just very conservative. But, I'm actually kicking around painting the white parts of my bike black. I like it that much! “The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called yourself.” — Robert M.

Guest 2wheeler Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 2016 Silver with Blurple = Heaven 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted April 28, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2016 I would be less concerned about resale value and would look at purchase price. You will save more buying a 2015 than you would make selling a 2016 in a few years. Unless you really want the 2016 colors (and maybe you do, we all have different tastes) I would go for the best deal, which will probably be the 2015.

e30kawi Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 2016 Silver with Blurple = Heaven 8-) This winter and spring I'll be looking for a 15 Raven like I had or a 16 silver with the blurple wheels. Although, white would work too as I have a set of blurple wheels to swap on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
