wasnt meant to be id get the xsr if i was you!

 

Yeah I think I'll be looking for an XSR instead of the FZ09.

 

you snooze you lose.

 

Sorry to hear that. Next time put a deposit on it.

 

You're right, but didn't think it would be sold because that one has been there for around a year sitting there.

 

Sniff sniff. A sad day indeed. Get back to it and start looking around for another. Good luck to you.

 

Are there no other dealers in your area that have one?

 

They still have the 2015 yellow one but I don't like that color at all. There is a raven one about 150 miles away. 2016 for $9060 OTD. But I am really considering now waiting for the XSR now.

 

You'll find another without a problem. When I went to my local dealer, I thought I had found my deal. Then just for the heck of it I decided to check some other dealers in state and that's when I found several deals much better than what my home town dealer had. I ended up saving almost $900. I rented a U-Haul for $23.44 drove 220 miles down and 220 back and had my new 2016 FZ09. It just takes determination and don't let any dealer dissuade you from comparing prices.

 

You're going to buy an XSR instead? Isn't it going to be hard to ride with a paper bag over your head?

 

I don't get it? lol

 

You've evidently never dated any ugly girls. I heard they described the looks of the XSR to Stevie Wonder and he said for the first time in his life he was glad to be blind.

 

You really think the XSR is ugly? I think it looks sexy!

 

Ugly headlight, ugly taillight, tank looks good, just not with that frame and sub frame, the lines don't match up at all, look at that terrible seat/tank gap. It looks like a badly done parts bin bike thrown together by some drunk, broke, college kid, trying to put together one bike out of three or four so he has transportation. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for basing several bikes off that engine platform, because it's a flat out winner, but come on Yamaha can you seriously not do better than this? You couldn't spend a couple days with a design department to at least match up a few lines and make it look like an actual project instead of, "yeah just bolt that together, that's good enough, f@ck it"?

This is my post from a different forum board on the topic of the XSR. Opinion will vary, nothing personal

I'm with ya Harry. Ugly batter, ugly batter.

Reminds me of speed triple, another ugly bike.

FZ is a sexy machine.

 

While the XSR isn't really my style, I think it's a good looking bike.

 

I'm with HB...that's an ugly bike. But, to each their own.

 

Yeah everyone has their own opinion on it. But I definitely want to see it in person before I make any decisions.

 

I did not like it when the pictures first started to appear........ But it's growing on me ....

 

I'm not a fan of the aluminum look, but the yellow/black combo looks pretty nice.

 

wow click bait much

 

Looks a helluva lot better than the Ducati Scrambler or Bolt.

 

That's like being the skinniest kid at fat camp.

 

I don't see anything wrong with any of the 09 bikes, including the FZ-09, FJ-09 and XSR900.

Lets be honest, do you buy a bike to see how pretty it looks sitting in your garage? or to ride it?

For example: do you even see this much of your bike while riding?

Sure I like the look of my 09, but it's not the biggest reason I ride it, lol.

But I also ride one of these things and don't care how it looks to others, because it's a blast to ride for what I use it for.

And yes, if you snooze you loose, good deals on 09's don't stick around forever.

 

I like the looks of the yellow and black XSR over the Fz. Just my humble opinion

 

I find myself in the garage staring at my motorcycles quite frequently actually, especially after adding a new one.

 

My favorite thing to do other than ride it is get drunk and stare at it.

EDIT: this also applies to woman.

 

If you don't turn around and check out your bike when you're walking away, you chose the wrong one.

 

I do that plus at my age it is also to ensure I did not forget something

 

I might feel the same way... I did the mistake of stopping by the stealership this morning... dang shes pretty!

That yellow jacket in the back would go great with that bike and also my Golden Dragon

 

Seriously, there was some funny stuff in this thread. Thanks for the entertainment y'all. By the way, I lean off mine while riding, and look back at myself to admire me on the bike. Oh, and it's impossible too.

 

everything happens for a reason!
