![]() ![]() This bike is the most fun I have had on a motorcycle. The flat plane crank triple has tons of torque and makes this bike rip. I did not realize the acceleration when I bought the bike. The upside? Wheelies…wheelies everywhere! Wheelies when you want them…wheelies when you don’t…grab too much throttle? Wheelies. Fun Factor? That thing is FAST!…That motorcycle absolutely rips from 0-120! Claimed 2.7 second 0-60 and 7 seconds from 0-100.Std Mode is good for street riding and around town. A- max power or “track mode”, B- is a lower powered mode used for rain and around town. It is aided by a 3 setting engine control setting. The power curve is linear from below 2K all the way to the 12,500 RPM. The bike is geared short for street riding and, as such, it has a ton of low end power. With a full race exhaust and ECU tune, most are getting about 115hp at the rear wheel. Power/Engine? Yamaha claims about 115HP at the crank and roughly 70ftlbs of torque at 11,500 rpm.After 3 weeks on the bike (and over 400 miles) here is my review. I found one in Austin, TX and headed out to pick it up. The price was right and the bike looked cool, as well. Since I am a speed junkie I figured a 900cc (well.850) streetfighter would be sane enough for me to ride without too much temptation to speed. After a lot of online research I decided upon Yamaha’s FZ09. I have had everything from Ninjas to Buell’s to Harleys to Enduros…after my son was born I sold my highly modified and beloved (and fast) XB9SX (at right).Ī few weeks ago I decided to buy another motorcycle. Those who know me know I love motorcycles. Tags: Buell, Flat plane crank, FZ09, Motorcycle, review, Triple, Yamaha, Yoshimura Yamaha FZ09 Review – WOW!.Awesome bike!
