I look forward to your video on adjusting it. The fueling is awesome. I ride mostly in "B" mode, but only because I'm trying to tame myself during the break in period. Awesome Review! I look forward to seeing future videos on this bike.

They were closed so I went back today, to see exactly what it was, man it's a 2014 FZ09 the red model. Not a scratch with 800 miles. 6000.00 now I was worried about all these reviews on the fueling and the suspension, but 6 grand for a like new bike. I think I'm going to pull the trigger, after I take it for a spin. Thanks dude great review!! I feel so much better!

I really enjoyed and agreed with this review, having owned a UK version Yamaha MT-09 (same as the US FZ-09) for 3 weeks now. It is such a pleasure to see and hear somebody with much more riding experience than myself making the points and comments in this review. I have no problem with the fuelling, the suspension, the brakes, the chassis, the handling or anything I have heard other people find flaws with in other reviews. I took one out on test for 2 hours and I wasn't able to understand 2 things about it: 1. How have they managed to sell the bike at the price they have when it's so good and such high quality? 2. How is there so much power all the time from the engine and yet my 2 hour test ride returned an average 57 mpg? I was convinced there must be some wizardry and witchcraft involved in the engine on the bike but I knew I had to have one so I could experience the feeling again and again. I know that every day I will have more fun on this bike than any of the others I was looking at when I was shopping for a new bike. Well done sir.

You did an awesome job describing what the pros and cons were to both motorcycles which puts you in a less bias position making your choice to get an fz-09 even better.

Great review! I'm a commuter riding from Murrieta to Poway during the work week. Went from the 2007 SV650S ABS to a 2009 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS, to get a better freeway ride and more upright riding style. Considering switching to this FZ-09 to make splitting lanes a little easier on the 15N. Too bad no ABS! I really prefer the extra safety feature. With your review, I intend to make the switch this spring, thanks for the awesome review.

For the price point, it looks like a great machine. Even my 919 was complained about in one way or another but once I'm riding it, fun and it works. You hit on every point people might want to hear about. I can only own one bike and I like naked bikes.

Great review, great review. It is one of the best motorcycles reviews I've seen in a long time here in KZitem. Also, it seems you really know what you are talking about. And the quality of the video is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I just have a quick question and I know this is a more subjective topic than anything else. But between the ST and the fz09, which one you find more comfortable? I used to own a ST (was totaled due an accident, not my fault) and my feet feel cramped after a 20 to 30 min trip.

I think you did a good, solid review using your own experience and opinions with true unbias feeling. I am considering one of these but my issue is I am a larger rider at 5'11" 225lbs. Ive only sat on them, need to test ride one to see how the suspension will be. Ive been riding over 20yrs on sport bikes and cruisers , Currently am riding a XR1200 which is like a naked standard street bike and is loads of fun but this bike has my eye. I love the triples and modern tech with the adjustable suspension and throttle modes. Once again good job, makes me want it even more. I also ride a full dresser touring bike for my lazy touring days.

I'm in the market for a new bike since getting rid of my HD Ultra but wanted a street/sportier bike this time around. Been looking at reviews for the FZ 09 and FZ07 as well as the FZ6R. The negative reviews found was also turning me off as you mentioned. Now the FZ 09 is at the top of my list. Have you had a chance to ride the FZ07? If so, thoughts? I usually never leave comments but again thank you so much for sharing.
