Yamaha FZ-09 - aggressive and nimble are impressions based on the overall looks of the bike
- 8 years ago
If you have one spec of enthusiasm for motorcycling, the howling heart of the FZ-09 gets down in your soul immediately and never lets go.
Mere moments into our first ride on the bike at the San Francisco press introduction I was screaming out of my helmet to one of the Yamaha executives riding next to me: “LONG-TERM TEST MANDATORY!”
And here we are, wrapping up with 11,111 miles on the clock. The FZ-09 has been so many places in the meantime, grinding out daily commutes, long road trips, several trackdays, and many a back-road thrash.
