I quite like the look of that.
-
I'm not a fan. Looks too much going on - if that makes sense?
I know I'm comparing it to my naked MT-09, so I'm used to, well, the nakedness :)
-
Looks like another Tiger or a GS copy which all look the same to me. Definitely not an FZ! :-/
-
Still doesn't really meet the specification of the Fazer in my opinion; particularly not the thou
-
yuk.
-
I like it. Sort of little multistrada/tiger type of bike with a cracking power delivery!
It's not a Fazer though.
-
My take exactly.
Reasonably cool, but it's yet another adventure tourer, to join half the Triumph range, half the BMWs, the V-Strom, etc etc etc.
I argue that no new bike out there is worthy of the Fazer name. Fazers are versatile, half faired, street bikes with sports tourer comfort and bottom end sports bike performance. The Street Bike category is one sadly missed.
-
Ohh there's something out of Yamaha worthy of a Fazer tag...I LIKE THAT
-
Looks like it has hard panniers mounts as standard that don't ruin the look of the bike.....At last..

Well said :thumbup

So a half faired, street bike which looks comfy enough and with MT-09 performance (more than sufficient to deal with the old FZS600) is no where near good enough?
-
The screen needs to be wider though that gap is plain stupid on a bike that's going to do miles
-
Ugly and why is it that every bike is look as if its missing a good solid hunk of metal between the legs.
-
not a fan
-
not the pretiest bike ive ever seen but looks comfy and practical. if anyobes giving them away ill have one.
-
it has some promise but it isn't quite there
agreed a more cool looking front screen would improve it a bit....it's like a hybrid gen 2 cross Tiger.
I think some modded ones could look pretty nifty but that photo isn't exactly inspiring but I bet it handles like a gen 2 but is more comfy and id be all for that.

That is not sports bike derived though. Plus, the styling is so samey. Name another bike that looks anything like a Fazer 6? Or a Thou for that matter!

Not looking good is it? More pics here:

I reckon if someone could mount a Fazer fairing on a naked 09 it would look a bit better.
Excuse the crappy mspaint job but I was at work.

Mr SD, you should go and work for Yamaha's design department, that looks pretty good!
-
FJ-09 or MT-09x as rumour goes that it would be called in Europe, will sell well. It fits the GS 1200 type market very well.
Not a Fazer. The last real Fazer is Fazer 8 S I think. And the XJ6 Diversion.
-
And the XJ6 Diversion.
No. I hear it's gutless.
-
Name another bike that looks like a fazer 6

Not sure that my fazer 6 looks like a fazer 6
-
It looks like a blank page! :eek
-
Got to be spesh to see it
-

I don't know much bout bikes but I like the looks but agree with Big Mac that it looks like it needs a bigger screen!
I'm thinking about swapping my bike in '16 for something with a bit bigger engine so may have a sniff over one of these!
-
I like it.
As for another Tiger, BM etc, don't forget Yamaha was an early contender for the whole dual sport thing years ago with the original TDM850, so I think it's more in keeping with their own line up since the TDM is now defunct.
There are the obvious similarities in styling of course, but that's to be expected to draw people from the opposition.
