We are big time guys! The bike must really exist! It has made print! If you guys have a subscription to Cycle World, then you may have the new FZ-09 waiting for you in the mailbox, but if you dont, it should either hit news stands now, or very shortly. The article does not show much more than the info that we already have on the boards, but I thought that it was nice to see it in print as well as on the site! They say that the bike will be for sale in September as well, so grab your helmets and riding boots, because it is about to get really real.

We are the OG members of the forum, the early adopters. Now the Yamaha Marketing Push that I was expecting is going to start pumping the forum full of new faces with new questions! I am strapped in for the roller coaster, and so excited to start seeing these things on the road! (and track, nay, spirited ride out to the gap... my eyes are on you triplethreat!)

Oh yeah... I accidentally dropped the magazine in the scanner, and the full article found it's way to the website... Clumsy me...

the scans are too low res to actually read though, unless that was your intent.

this is awesome. i didnt expect it to get so hyped up. the anticipation is killing me. i'll have several videos once i get my hands on it.

 

[deadduck357]

Yep, just picked it up. Not much new in there. But now everyone and there father is going to know about it.

I will certainly buy a copy. When I get a new bike, I always try to find a magazine article or two that features that particular bike and save it with the paperwork files of the purchase.

Funny, I do pretty much the same with guns.

There is nothing in there that isn't somewhere on the forum already, so you dont need to read that, just read Yamaha FZ 09 Forum instead.

You stop that right now!

OK, just got my September edition of Sport Rider magazine and there is a short article in there too. Nothing that we haven't already heard about, but at least the major magazines are covering it.

 

[NickJ]

They will come. They will come.

As I was looking through the article in the new Sport Rider magazine, they have an error in the description of the bike. They list the rear tire as........ 180/60/17. This caught my attention because the new tires that I just received (the Q3's) are of the standard sportbike size..........180/55/17 .....and that is what the Yamaha spec sheet says for the tire size.

Yamaha Canada has an excellent rundown on the FZ-09

Just ignore the price as it is in Canadian dollars

I received my copy of Cycle World on Saturday and put down my deposit on Monday. This is the first time that I put down a deposit on a bike that I have not seen or even sat on. At 6'5" sitting on the bike is important for leg room. I'm rolling the dice here.
