Bought an FZ-09

Some of you know I own a CRF250L, goldwing and a CTX700. Today I traded my CTX700 for a 2017 Yamaha FZ-09. Having 2 touring bikes just wasnt for me, and one of them had to go. I wanted something fun and a thrill to ride, and the FZ-09 is an amazing bike!!! Just wanted to share. Any other FZ-09 riders?

 

Nice!

 

I have heard great things about the fz09. I used to have an fz6 and loved that thing. Unfortunately, I got too busy to ride and so did all my riding buddies. I will get one again someday, and the fz09 is definitely one that I will consider. I love the look of the naked bikes/street fighters.

 

Thanks. I would honestly consider the FZ09. It feels solid, it's powerful, nimble, and overall I really enjoy riding it. The motor is smooth and its actually comfortable.

 

I have a FJ-09 and I love it.

 

I never got into Yamaha. I always rode Kawasaki, Honda and Suzuki. But i do have a Buell X1 lightening carbonfiber extreme. Heavily modded. I just put a tire off the ZX10r onto it today because the zx10r got a brand new Michelin power super-sport evolution.

you need a front tyre to........NEVER mix the Michelins with other brands. the Michelin is a unique tyre and there is no "cross-matching"

 

Awesome man!! How you liking your 09? I still love mine!

 

Love it. Came from a Ninja 300 so the power difference is...significant.

Only done a couple mods and probably won't do anything more since I like it the way it is and enjoy riding it more than working on it.

I have loved mine! First bike I ever bought brand new, and paid off. All of my friends have moved onto track riding, so it might be time for me to move on also..

Mine is for sale, but its not the season to sell in Virginia..

Damn! I bought an FZ-8 one model year before FZ-09s were available. I love mine, but part of me wishes I waited... the sound of that triple winding up!!

 

I love that triple!! It sounds amazing. I almost bought a 2016, but im glad I waited for the 17's. Much better improvements. It's like the perfect bike!

 

Own a 16 Street Triple R. Love the '09. I think it's the bike that forced Triumph to update to a 765

 

Wassup.

@Built2Ride ??

 

Yo yo! I do enjoy an FZ. My main riding buddy rolls an MT.
I am good for now. Actually selling my 1290r SD. Spending most of my time in the dirt on the 300, 350, 500 and 1190r.
I am rolling thru bikes like water.

 

I did the same thing. Bought a 2012 FZ8 used back in 2014, then a month later I hear about the FZ09 coming out and being lighter and more powerful.

But I'm still on the FZ8 today, and it's an awesome bike. Racetech fork springs made a huge difference.

 

YAY! I have an MT 09 (same thing). Awesome bike
