So,,who is welcome here?

[slimwilly]

Is this going to be a welcome home forum for the new owners of the new MT09?


will we see a section for them?

[Hedgetrimmer]

It's not a Fazer. Yamaha may have designated it FZ-09 in the States, but they haven't actually named it Fazer. And it bears no resemblance to any Fazer.

[slimwilly]

No it bears no reassemblance to a faxer but will it pull the same people as on here?


It is a close to a naked fz1s as you can get

[Hedgetrimmer]

Nope, 3 cylinder, not a multi use bike. People who leave Fazers for it will be disappointed in the long run I think, especially if they can only afford one bike. And "long run" is one thing it can't do!
I'd love to have one, but not as an only bike.

[Farjo]

The same was said when the new divvy came out, that it was the natural replacement for the Fazer 600.

Could this be slimwilly dipping toe in to water before taking the final jump off ship.....
Save ya money and stay in the gang
After all mtoc-u doesnt have the same ring to it

[red98]

had a look at this at local dealers yesterday...nice looking bike,but i think you would need both  ....going to book a test ride,their test bike is burnt orange and looks good 

[slimwilly]

No purchase for me, this one has to last 5 years.


I see at least one on this site has put down a deposit , so when he posts a picture of it do we all blast him

[Punkstig]

Curious- why do a few of you believe it doesn't have any decent life expectancy?

[paulkemp]

Ahh but you welcomed me and my FZ8 isnt a Fazer..... :-\

[paulkemp]

Had test on the MT 09 and verdict is .....
If I wanted a speed triple id go to Triumph.....
Horrible ride

[Punkstig]

But the fz8 is a fazer Paul, the mt isn't!

There's already enough "bikeism" here, what with gangs of wild eyed screaming fanatical gen one jihadists wanting to burn us quiet gen 2 types at the stake for witchery and suchlike...

To be fair nobody's chucked me out now that I have 3 cylinders.

The clue is in the number

It's becoming "Life of Brian" esque 
"Are you the Fazer Thou Gen I People's Front ?"
"Feck off, we're the People's Front of Gen I Fazer Thou"
"Where's the MT 09 Popular Front ?"
"He's over there........... Splitter"

Classic!
Personally, I've nothing against ex-Fazer traito......er, owners, staying on the forum. But it's still not a Fazer
