jo1000 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 I took this pic a hour ago in my drivieway just a quick shot. It is a awesome machine, riding position is sporty but comfy . I feel like I'm sitting in the bike and I love that.Handling is sharp , I will be tweeking the front end a bit( a lil soft ) but it truly gives a point and shoot feeling. The motor is really powerful , I'm breaking the bike in and I didn't go over 6000rpms but it's fast even in the lower part of the power band. We were on a nice curvy road, I was in 3th gear and I just twisted it a bit out of the apex and I was hitting 75 mph . The bike felt like it wanted to rip the bars out of my hand for a second, I was like easy Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivabign Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Sweet! Most of the reviews I've read on the bike were very positive. The only minor complaint was the low speed fueling, but that seems to affect just about every bike these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo1000 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 If you have a heavy hand on the throttle I can see that since the throttle is instantaneous .Much like the FJ09 a smooth throttle hand I feel is best. I liked the way the bike felt in mode 2 , nice and smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The new Ducati Supersport has placed adulterous thoughts in my head, but I can't afford another money pit lol Me too man. The new ss 939 may be the perfect streetbike right now. Tons of lowend power, much better on the streets than a Panagale but also able to ride well on the track, comfortable seating position and seat, but it's still a sport bike. I kinda want to get one.

norcal616 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm in between choosing a new bike in a few years...I'm keeping the FJ-09, I'm leaning towards trading in my FZ-07 and maybe my dirt bike for an electric road bike from Zero or get a used early model year FZ-09 off the dealership floor and slap a turbo kit in it and build it for drag racing, ExtremeCreations got the -09 down to just a hair over 8sec in the 1/4 mile... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
