I find it interesting that they refer to it as a 'sport bike', I wonder if that means an MT09 with clip-ons and a front cowl? or an actual sport tune on the engine? 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'd need to do much to the engine, but they definitely need to upgrade the suspension. An FZ900 with premium suspension, IMU, and a sportier riding position would be a hoot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
