Is this the FZ1 we've all been waiting for?

The MT is cheap, but also looks cheap and I do not see quality there.

They are the best selling bike in Europe and heading that way in the UK though. Yamaha have done something right by making them cheaper and selling in volume! Bloody good business sense if you ask me.

They sell like hotcakes in the US too. My daughter has an MT-07 (FZ-07 in the US) and I must admit it is a very fun bike to ride around town (I refer to it as "the scooter"   )


I would like to see a new Fazer also, more along the line of the carburated FZS1000 (FZ1 gen 1 in the US), i.e. a great smooth sport touring naked bike, with emphasis on the touring part (with bikini fairing, relaxed riding stance and a tank large enough for 200 miles between pit stops) but with enough low end torque to compete with the Ninja 1000 and the Suzuki Bandit 1250. For those who want a real sport bike, there are plenty to choose from. There are just not many sport tourers.
