Title: FZ09
Post by: RD56 on March 29, 2014, 02:50:40 PM
Was in the local Yamaha Shop yesterday lookin at the FZ09. The salesman, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, said that the bike had a linked brake. Step on the rear brake and it plants the front end "Lightly". Haven't read this in the reviews that I've read. Anybody heard this. I didn't have a chance to ride as it was raining, but looks like a fun ride. Other than the throttle function I thought this was pretty much void of tech.
