I wouldn't change mine for one either. I sat on the US version, a FZ9 up in Colorado a few weeks ago and it was nice but why would you make a motorcycle with a chain and no center stand? At least my FZ8 had all the brackets for one and the nice people at Yamaha made a center stand that I could purchase. :eek I must admit that a bike 50 pounds lighter with more horsepower sounds like fun but I do all the light maintenance on my bikes and cleaning and lubing the chain on my 600 is a royal pain. I didn't like the color we got stuck with here in the US either. Now the blue 2013 FZ1 is another story.
