New model FZ1

[Scotyam]

Scotyam - I bought a ZZR too, but I kept the Fazer. I love swapping between the two, they're both superb in different ways.


With regard to the idea of a Crossplane Fazer, in BIKE this month, the MT-09 designer Shun Miyazawa says there will be high capacity MT style machines and they will choose the number of cylinders depending on what they're trying to achieve.


Now given the MT-09 is Yamaha refocussing on machines which are a pleasure to ride, rather than out and out fast, I reckon we could easily see an MT-10 or MT-11 with a Crossplane 4 engine.


And I'd buy one like a shot. I will have a test ride on the MT-09, but it looks a bit lacking in the grunt dept and as usual, it has not got a big enough range for me.

I would love to keep the ZZR and buy a Fazer but unfortunately I canae afford it :'(
Regarding Mr Miyazawa's comments, fingers crossed I would love to see a crossplane 4 version of the Fazer, that is the ultimate bike as far as i'm concerned and is long overdue.
