Freely following the philosophical-optimistic view that the glass is not half empty but half full, at Yamaha you don't have to decide AGAINST two, but FOR one. In any case, the FZ8 has enough potential to become the golden mean in the circle of free-body bikes.

The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile power unit in this class - and even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the aggressive design with its many corners and edges is also appealing. Only the chassis makes the typically good compromise between comfort and sport and should probably remind you that the affordable MT-07 also has a lot to offer beginners.
