denbsteph Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Greetings!! I'm here because I bought a 2015 FJ-09 last Saturday. Today I rolled up to the 900 mile mark. Do you think I like the bike? HELL YES!!! I have ridden it only in "standard" mode. So far the bike is unreal, no need to get out of standard mode. I have owned many a bike, the latest was a BMW, if you want to know how I felt about that bike PM me, I'll tell you all about it, most of it..........is not favorable. Anywho, before that was a 2006 FZ1. It gave out at the 99,000 mile mark last month....RIP., the bike was unbelievable, but I believe I found a pretty good replacement. Although, it is too early to give a full 100% review at this point, I honestly believe that YAMAHA has got a real winner here. it pulls great thru the RPM's, dips into the turns great, breaking is beyond expectation. Maybe it's just me, but at times, especially around the 3.75-4.0 RPM range, in any gear, sounds like a 2 stroke, Is it just me? The bike feels like I'm riding a true Enduro made for the street.....maybe I have found something else in the FJ, but it sure rides/fits good for my 5'2", 16" inseam..........HA! YAMAHA really has a winner in the FJ-09. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
