jetgirl Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 How a bike looks and how it makes you feel is important. My FZ always felt so right to me. Next year I could take back my old Ninja 250 from my daughter but I have to get another FZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebomac Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 New owner and from Vegas as well. Im in it for about 4 weeks now. Sitting at 2100 miles and about 1000 miles of those are in the first week. Cant get enough of this bike. I dont have much experience with any other bikes but so far this is the most comfortable one for me. 750 gsx-s slightly heavy for me. Too wide. Power is ok CB1000r - rad bike. A lot of power. Too much for me CB1000RR - i dont think i will own a super sports unless i decide to track FZ09 - its nice, i tought about it... Dont need to extra power. FZ07's just looks a lot sexier to me. Goodluck! And i hope you get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. They look a lot sexier than the FZ09. My CBR600f4i was fast and I didn't even utilize that power. Considering the FZ09 is much faster, I think to myself, when would I even use it? Lol. My most common drive would be to the strip from the northwest. At what point would I need the power? Although it would be nice to have.. I only have experience with my Ninja 650, just less than a year, and the f4i for a few months. I'd say the FZ07 would be plenty personally.

So far ive got the fender eliminator, barracuda front signals, integrated tail light - all from bellissimoto Paul. Also got the akropović titanum exhaust. Also live on the northwest part of town. My commute is always the north 215 to the speedway so its super easy and open. Im down for a meet up soon. Rival is on here and i know he lives by our side of town too.

You don't happen to be 215/Durango, do you? That's where I'm at. I know when I get my bike I'll Forsure be taking it to Belissimoto. Paul seems like a cool guy. How's the commute on the freeway?

Anything above 70 you will find the wind fighting you because the way you sit on the bike. Im really thinking about getting the windscreen but havnt found something i really like. I like how the bike is just plain naked. But soon we will be doing out of town rides so the looks can be sacrificed to have more riding comfort.

hentz Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 So I came across this 2015 FZ-07 today here in Vegas from a private party. Red, not a fan... However I can just change plastics so I'm not worried about that. Oil is changed every 4,000 miles. Chain lubed every 500-1000 miles. It has 12k miles. What do you guys think? http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/mcy/5768038605.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timjh Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Price seems fair for that mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbatrossCafe Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Stupid idea to ask this question... If you EVER think "Should I buy an FZ-07?" The answer is always "yes". Live your life by that one rule and you will be successful anywhere you go.

azuryn Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The bike above 75mph can get a bit windy, a windscreen helps but you still get quite a bit of resistance. You eventually get used to it, I can get to 90 and not even notice the difference in wind resistance between that and anything in the 70 range. Side Note: Blurple or go home.

hentz Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I finally sold my bike a few weeks ago!!! Woo. Haven't had a bike for a few weeks and its getting to me...

hamster Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'd say it's a fair price, but check out that right damage in person! And clear the lien! Safe riding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI the prices he has in his picture are RETAIL aka what you would buy from the dealer. This is private party so you can easily take $750 off of that. On top of that it was laid down. That's minus another $750. I would offer him $4000 and see where that takes you. But I would NEVER pay over $5000 for that.
