I want one. A lower seat height would make it a more realistic addition to my garage.

Seems like a lot of overlap with the FJ09 to me. I'd prefer the triple 900 over a twin 700 any day, and the FJ09 is pretty darned cheap for a capable ST bike. The 700 would have to be lots cheaper to sell many in the US (if they ever bring it here).

Arf, in europe, we call it MT07

Not sure, but I thought the MT was a different bike altogether.

Nevermind... I just googled it, it seems that you are correct. MT07 = FJ07

I sure would like to see a belt drive on this bike and the FJ09, along with standard cruise.

Actually the FZ-07 has the same seat height as an FJR. But it's probably going to be a couple hundred pounds lighter.<br /><br />I would love to have an FZ-07 but not a touring model. I want one to just zip around on day rides when you don't need<br />something as big as an FJR.

I'd prefer the FJ09 as well. But 07 or 09 would be for the lady of the house(5'1"). Lighter and lower seat height would allow me to "get it for her".

This model and the just spied FZ-07 Tenere will make for a trifecta with this motor. How long before an FZ-09 Tenere to cover that motor?

Having recently ridden an FZ-07 I can say that this motor will do well for an ADV style Sport Touring bike. That twin is a real treat to operate. The current FZ-07 is around 400 pounds, that is pretty sweet as well.

If I interpret that video correctly, riding a motorcycle will provide you a happy relationship with an attractive woman. So far, real life is not working that way for me.

What is that thing in front of the rear wheel and I do not see a center stand.

 

[gapiob]

this one is in Europ the MT 07 Tracer https://www.motoplanete.com/yamaha/5912/MT-07-700-TRACER-2016/contact.html

As they made for MT 09, and MT 09 Tracer.

But it's the same engine.

I've ridden both the FJ/FZ09 and the FZ07 all on the same day. The FZ07 is an absolute peach of a bike. I've been waiting for the FJ07 for a while. I hope they bring it here. If it weren't for Line and the girls demanding to be comfortable on back the when we go on long rides, it'd be sold for one of these without hesitation. Even then....
