I know you liked the Yamaha FZ 09 !!!! I'm warming up to them a bit !!! The custom guys are doing a good job with the bike and I like the 2016 in Raven !!!

He's certainly mastered the rolling burnout. :lol:

I think Yamaha did an amazing thing with the FZ-09. They put a 100+ hp engine in a package that's lighter than an H2, and priced it so people can afford it. I'm not crazy about the looks, but that's probably because I'm old and used to "standards". They're going to sell zillions of them, along with the FZ-07.

I'd like to see quarter mile times with the turbo !!! They say it runs 10.6's in the quarter totally stock !!! Not bad for a new bike that cost $8K !!!!

In a sense, it's more like the original H2 then the new Ninja H2, because it's fast and cheap.

I just don't get that l-o-n-g swing-arm thing, a H2-B is the absolute limit for swing-arms, surely?? :crazy:

Oh, I meant a stock FZ-09 is more like an original H2 than the new Ninja H2.

That's to get the weight off the tire so it's easier to keep spinning......
