Posted September 24, 20177 yr Hello everyone. I just came across this article by MCN! Yamaha MT07/FZ07 is getting a new headlight soon! Here's a link to the full article. I wonder what the final result would look like 😮 Edited September 24, 20177 yr by magdfarid
September 24, 20177 yr Here it is. I personally hate it. I didnt actually like the current light because i thought it was a bit on the boring side but its grown on me. The new one just looks hideous to me
September 24, 20177 yr ehhhh...its not the original headlight style, they coulda kept the same singular headlight but made it so half lights up for low beam and keep the other half dimly lit till high beams are needed... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW

September 24, 20177 yr It wouldn't prevent me from buying the bike, but it is not an improvement in the looks dept. I hope these lights actually work better. Not because I feel the current light is poor, but to claim some kind of advantage while putting-up with the decreased looks. Edited September 24, 20177 yr by YZEtc

September 24, 20177 yr The model shown looks like the Motocage version of the MT 07. It had dealer-added bits like a stunt bike. I cannot see it listed now in UK. I think we will not have long to wait to discover if that really is the new face: EICMA in October is still my guess. Just do it!

I think it might just be a dressed up one for photo purposes but I've seen other pics with the same lights. I hope I'm wrong

September 25, 20177 yr Fugly or not.... if it works better than the poorly focused dim candle of a stock headlight, I'm all for it. DewMan Just shut up and ride.
September 25, 20177 yr the best improvement yamaha could make is a bigger tank 17ltrs instead of 14. also what is the benefit on having plastic covers over a tank apart from changing coloured plastic panels. shirley that would add another ltr or more if they made a tank like the fazer all metal. also adding grab rails. as for the lights don't like them but if we all like the same it would be a boring world would it not.
September 26, 20177 yr Damn I kinda like the bumblebee look -- I wonder if we will be able to easily retrofit existing older bikes with it.

Couldn't agree more on the tank size. 17ltrs would make 500km to a tank a piece of cake
September 26, 20177 yr Im looking into making an "old headlight" kit and sell it on here. I'm not joking. I'll keep it affordable. Stay tuned... Boise State Fan ForumYamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 ForumYamaha Ténéré 700 Forum

When I was doing my dual headlight I was thinking of getting a pair and stacking them like this. Now that I see this pic I'm glad I didn't...
