2009 Yamaha line-up (R series)

[zeocen]

I like the FZ6, the looks leave a little to be desired but that may just be the paint job. Underbelly exhaust too do I see? *looks at ER6N*, don't worry, you're still prettier ER6'y *pets*

Do bike engineers also understand that Human beings are getting bigger??
Every generation since they have been keeping records has become taller and thicker - and bikes get smaller and lower and smaller and lower.

I also agree so much that it hurts.

[NZsarge]

Hmm, will wait and see one in the flesh, still better looking than a ZX10 and CBR though.

>>The selectable “A” mode puts more emphasis on acceleration in low to midrange rpm. “B” mode, on the other hand, provides less sharp response to input for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. Selecting the map you want is as easy as pressing button on the handlebars.<<


Like the other bikes it's on - I have a philosophical problem with being hunched up in a racing ball, on a plank seat and voluntarily making it a mid power bike.

Yeah, it's not really something I see a great need for. There's already a perfectly good horsepower controller on the right clip-on.

I can remember seeing a great pic of Mat Mladin's AMA throttle back when traction control was illegal. All the teams kept whispering that the all-conquering yoshi suzuki's must have traction control. In response the yoshi mechanics had put a little sticky label on the clip-on with "traction control -->" pointing at the throttle.

Looks fresh. I still lime my cbr much better tho.
Very interasted to see how the new R1 does on the reviews.

[James Deuce]

Love that FZ6.

I hope they've sorted the engine out.

[Motoworld Powersports]

Watched the video of it on yamaha-motor.com website. Its got an interesting engine tone with the big bang motor. Sounds like a V4.

[enigma51]

It also comes in yellow and black


I want one please

[James Deuce]

I'll have to leave judgement until I've had a ride. That Superbike Planet article claimed that owners and reviewers praised the FZ6N and S for their "versatility".

I don't think I've ever seen versatility used to describe an FZ6. Most of the articles have expressed disappointment that the FZ6 was the replacement for the FZS600 Fazer (which we didn't get here, but I've been lucky enough to ride a private import) which was a better bike in every way except it couldn't pass Euro 2 emissions requirements, let alone the upcoming (then) Euro3.

Certainly my experiences when looking at replacing my R6 with something more comfortable suggested that the FZ6 was designed by someone who'd never ridden a bike.

I like the adjustable Ergos and the price looks similar to the current GSX650F.

Damn impostors!

[Big Dave]

I've not ridden what I call a versatile bike that got it's mumbo post 7,500rpm yet.

Then you'll be wanting the new Diversion 600 that's supposedly coming out as well. Tube frame, half fairing, sort of Bandit, CBF600 competitor.

I like small bikes.

[Maki]

That R1 is just gorgeous. It has to be one of the best looking bikes ever.
