duhs10 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I actually do not like that bike at all... As a "hyper naked" I like the MT/FZ-10, but I prefer the FJ-09 to that. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted February 28, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted February 28, 2017 With its lousy gas mileage I hope they increased the tanks fuel capacity. +1 on preferring the MT-09 Tracer / FJ-09 over the MT-10 whatever addition...

BBB Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Is that an oil cooler under the radiator? Looks odd and vulnerable. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BVEBRAD Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The second I plopped down on this bike I knew it wasn't for me. I found the riding position to be terrible. Just the opposite for the FJ09, as soon as I sat on it I knew I was gonna buy it. Brad Selbyville, DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpaul Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The second I plopped down on this bike I knew it wasn't for me. I found the riding position to be terrible. Just the opposite for the FJ09, as soon as I sat on it I knew I was gonna buy it. (Emphasis mine) Yup. I actually went to the dealer to see if the SCR950 they had on order had come in yet. It hadn't, but I'd been reading about the FJ so I wandered over and climbed aboard one. It was just so dang COMFY. I was pretty sure I was in trouble right then and there, but after a test ride, I KNEW I was screwed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member martyl Posted February 28, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think I'll test drive one at bike week in Daytona if one is available at the Yamaha demos. The Demos is what hooked me on the FJ09. Great opportunity to try bikes out at the speedway. A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsimple Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 its just a regular mt-10 with some accessories added. Whats the big deal? "All of these special parts and accessories were already available to existing MT-10 owners, but the fully-equipped Tourer Edition represents a sensible saving when compared to buying the items separately." 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member martyl Posted February 28, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted February 28, 2017 I felt that the FJ09 should come with its options as s package edition. A Motorcyclist's Church is the open road.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyfjrider Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 That was my thought. It looks like a marketing ploy to play up the new Tom Tom GPS. I do like the idea of a model with pre-installed equipment at a lower price. That would have gone over well if they offered a fully accessorized FJ-09 at a discounted price.

fjmax Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I really wanted that bike but the gas mileage was a deal breaker for me. So I'm very content with my fj 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark&Stormy Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I like the autobot face of the bike, but that fact that Yamaha gave that streetbeast cruise control and not the fj-09 makes me dislike the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 ...that fact that Yamaha gave that streetbeast cruise control and not the fj-09... Never understood that either... makes no sense '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark&Stormy Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 ...that fact that Yamaha gave that streetbeast cruise control and not the fj-09...Never understood that either... makes no sense I thinks it's because the fz-10 is in direct competition with KTM'S 1290 Superduke R which also comes with cruise control.
