Beemer Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Cool video but it left me with this thought. If only they had also rode the FZ-07 they might've said you can get the same fun, torquey ride on a smaller bike for even cheaper than a 900 cc bike .

AlbatrossCafe Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 "Standard" bike with slightly lowered bars (more akin to sport, but not ridiculous) is ideal e.g. FZ-07 with Renthal Ultralows Dual headlights or deathhttp://fz07.org/thread/5384/albatrosscafes-galleryhttp://fz07.org/thread/5174/dual-headlight-upgrade-completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfz07 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Totally agree with that video. For me, the comfort is sooo worth it over a full-on sportbike. I loved my 06 ZX6R but it sucked for those longer rides. I'm having much more fun on my FZ07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1limited Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have no issues on the R1. I am 60, had 4 back surgeries, a few knee reworks, shattered / rebuilt wrist, shortened ulna (Due to shattered wrist and the list goes on) yet I can ride the R1 all day and night with the same comfort as the 07. So all I gots to say is Pull up yer big boy panties and freakin ride, you want a couch buy a god danged HD or one of them ocean liners they call motorcycles for gad blessed alrighty thens Yung uns I tell ya wuuut “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accumulative total of pushing the envelope and having them oh shet moments, the R1 is very forgiving if you do not abuse her. “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member norcal616 Posted January 24, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have owned a Kawasaki 1000 Eliminator, that was my 1st bike, heavy and comfy but it was fast before I understood what fast means to me...then owned a Ninja 636, awesome little machine but it was only fun to ride when rpms where spinning past 10k or so... then got a dirt bike and never rode a street bike for about 10yrs till I got the FZ-07 which to me is very much like a 450F dirt bike...then got the FJ-09... seriously one of the best bikes for the $ I have found... between the FZ-07 and FJ-09 I think I got everything to suit my motorcycle needs... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
