More for Less Shootout: Aprilia Shiver vs. Suzuki GSX-S750 vs. Yamaha FZ-09

[@jasonreynolds3596]

Just took delivery of my brand new GSX S750. I absolutely love it & the sound is haunting !

[@RoxasEarnshaw]

How do you like it? What made choose the GSX S750?

[@jasonreynolds3596]

Roxas Earnshaw it was just a really good package. The height was perfect & on my 45 minute test ride it had the grin factor. I wanted something for touring, so I wanted something a bit bigger than a 600cc. The bike sounds amazing, even without thrashing it. Wind protection without a screen was very good. For its price point, it had the most bang for your buck. My bike came with ABS, 3 traction control modes & a fairly nice digital screen. Being a taller bike, I find it easier filtering through traffic & it’s more comfortable over distances. I don’t like the touring bikes like the gs, not that there is anything wrong with them, I just love the naked bikes. I had a 3 year warranty & a 1 year breakdown cover included in the price which was nice. If I could make any changes, I would fit cruise control, but that’s just me. I have since added heated grips, which have been a god send through the cooler weeks, it makes things more enjoyable & also an electric Scott oiler. I have the white gsx s750, but when I went out in the dark I had a nice surprise ! The white has a purple iridescent colour in it which glows purple under street lights. You can’t see it in the day light hardly at all. This was my first brand new vehicle of any kind, and I don’t regret a second of it.

[@CycleCruza]

I think you guys make great reviews but I dislike when you always make us go to your website to find out what your conclusion is, you always leave us hanging on youtube. Just tell us who won here dagnabblit! FZ-09??!!

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

CycleCruza So you expect them not to try to get hits on their website?

[@CycleCruza]

C. Dubbleyoo It makes us NOT want to go to their website. Read the comments on this video, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

Seen. Unimpressed. This is hardly clickbait. It's one more click on a link embedded right underneath the vid with more in-depth coverage (*gasp* reading?!!?) on the subject. Unlike vloggers, backyard stunters, lip synchers, webcam warblers and everybody else trying to be youtube-famous, these guys are trying to keep the lights on on their own website (mo.com is around 20 years old). It is something they do in each of their vids and it is not unique to them. I don't pretend like I don't have other issues wtih MO, but complaining about them leading you to their OWN website (which does not ask you to sign in, will not initiate a pop-up barrage and, again,leads you to MORE content on the topic at hand) is petty.

[@RastaRider]

CycleCruza Yeah I agree, mate. I once left a long comment on one of their vids (at least I think it was them) regarding a motocross bike review. I was so upset by that. I had watched like a 20-min long video and then got to satisfaction with a winner at the end. Of course I understand why they want us to go there. But that doesn't mean we have to like it.

[@CycleCruza]

C. Dubbleyoo Everybody doesn't have the time to go to a website and read who the winner is. It completely disrupts the flow, like having sex with a chick and right before you nut she stops you and tells if you want to finish busting a nut you'll have to follow her to the living room and complete the act over there. lol

[@joemac2501]

"I saw him on his knees with a tool in his hand earlier" "That had nothin to do with the bikes though"

[@jaxon19kira]

i didnt think anyone caught that hahaha

[@sixthisoverdrive]

I'm glad you compared these bikes in their price range. It's too often I hear comparisons to the Street Triple R and Ducati with these bikes, and it's just plain unfair. Budget is key, and not only budget, but the fact that 85% or more of people will never use the extra components that come with that price tag. These bikes are for everyday people on an everyday budget doing every day riding, and shouldn't be tested as track bikes.

[@cueballB]

The Street Triple R does cost more than the FZ. But the ordinary stock Street Triple doesn't. The Street Triple costs about as much as the Aprillia and only 600 euros more than the Suzuki.

[@sixthisoverdrive]

+cueballB yknow, if you look at the retail prices, they don't cost more. When you get to the dealer however, in my experience here in Canada, you will be asked to pay a minimum of 3000 in pdi charges, another freight charge, and then taxes for a triumph. However, you can usually get a Japanese bike for the retail price tax in. So in reality, he Street triple will cost at least 1000 cdn dollar more. That's more than 10% more for sure. Not apples to apples anymore.

[@cueballB]

sixthisoverdrive Wow. That's pretty much getting screwed over. That's not a problem here in Europe, retail price is what we pay. That's too bad, the Street Triple is a great bike.

[@sixthisoverdrive]

+cueballB. Yeah I love it too.

[@1anre]

sixthisoverdrive you nailed that last line. Not many people go to track. So they should do lesser track bike reviews and focus of urban. Daily work going bikes.

[@sarahdell4042]

The shiver is a hidden gem. You can pick up a left over model, which is still a new bike for the high $6,xxx range before taxes if you shop around. I love these bikes, shocked they didn't mention how good the stock exhaust sounds. In person the shiver has the best stock exhaust sound for under 10k

[@doggbiscuit]

+Sarah Dell You are dead on about the Shiver! Here in California dealers seem to have a hard time moving them and they always have inventory that has been sitting in the showroom for 1 to 2 years, because of that, you can get a killer deal on them. As if price wasn't enticing enough, it is a gorgeous bike to look out, and that Italian V-twin growl is intoxicating. The only down side to the bike is the suspension, but, with the money you can save on a left-over, you can upgrade the fork and shock giving you a pretty awesome street bike. I thought long and hard about one before I bought my Speed Triple.

[@jeromenobles4523]

+Sarah Dell U R correct mam !!! Shiver is a joy to ride on twisty roads !!! I am really having more fun each year so this year i got a Speed Triple 1085 and it is so buttery smooth POWER. youtube it & guys giggle when the nail it a little !!!!

[@Wabbit1961]

Sarah Dell - The problem is you can't find a fucking Aprilia dealer in 100 miles. Then you have to take it back to that dealer for the break in adjustment service. Then, like Ducati, God help you if you need a part because it has to come from fucking Italy. Been there, done that, fuck that.

[@Beket_ca]

@@Wabbit1961 B.S> Parts are available overnight in the middle of frozen Canada. I'm sure that you may have the same level of service. Also, the bike is pretty simple to do service by yourself. In the worst case scenario even harley))) mechanic will be able to handle it.

[@sarahdell4042]

@The Power Moves 6 years later I feel slightly different. It’s still a great bike, but it’s way outclassed these days. I used to be able to look past weight, but the shiver is just way too heavy. On paper it’s heavy, but in person it’s incredibly top heavy. No longer own one, but would still recommend one for someone who doesn’t care about what I listed above.

[@jeromenobles4523]

I own a 2011 Shiver and love it !!! I wanted more power to play with so i researched the the FZ09 but herd it had small cheap brakes and non adjustable suspension !! It can be fixed for safety purposes/better handling and that would be great ! So I read several times from several sources to get a Triumph Speed Triple with Arrow exhaust so I DID !!!! Its AMAZING !!!! And perfect now that I did a single headlight mod on it !!! 2 headlights looked like a bugs eyes when you stomp on it ! My Perfect Shiver is for sale now $6,000

[@dondefact3541]

Talk about non-committal. Sounds like these guys are on the payroll. Always hedging their bets and back peddling. A shootout should leave only one standing. This is just three guys trying to appease their boss. I wouldn't call it this a review - more of a sales snow job.

[@otakarlibal]

I have tried the fz09 and the Shiver and my feelings were that the fz09 seating position was too upright for sports riding outside of the city, felt a bit unstable and twitchy especially when full throttle at higher speeds. I was thinking about buying it, but after the test ride it just didn't feel like it was a bike for me. The shiver on the other hand in terms of handling felt amazing from the get go and within like 20 minutes I was faster on it and just as confident as I was on my actual bike that I had for two years. Felt happy to turn but stable at the same time, unlike the fz 09 that just felt nervous. The only thing I wasnt thrilled about with the shiver was the engine, I didnt really get the "thrill feeling" when rewing it all the way, it feels like it loses some power even after like 9-10 thousand rpm. So a very different feelings from what was said in the review. If you are thinking about any of these three I would try all of them. Maybe the reviewers could focus also on things you cant tell with a test drive like how does it feel for a passenger, on each bike, what is the range on one tank of fuel, or weird things you dont expect, like that the shiver cooks your but because of the underseat exhaust and can make the passengers jacket smell a bit because of it or that it doesnt have a fuel gauge and doesnt show range, it only has a low fuel light. Not a very usefull video

[@idrissbelahsen]

When you said full throttle i knew you are lying, you will never turn full throttle on an fz09 or you would be on your death bed

[@otakarlibal]

@@idrissbelahsen hahahahaha, yeah i tried full throttle on the highway on the fz09 and it was eventful. It is what made me look elsewhere. Felt too dangerous :D I want a bike that you can go full throttle without ending in the hospital :D

[@cueballB]

It took you longer to get used to the Suzuki's handeling? Really? God, the FZ09 really screwed every other company over by making a cheap, light bike that has to much torque to actually be usefull. Yeah, powerwheelie's are fun, but it says nothing about the brakes, the handling, the suspension,...In my opinion the only thing the Yamaha has over the other two bikes is torque and in all other respects is beneath the Aprillia and the Suzuki. Nevermind the fact that the FZ has a 100 cc more than both other bikes. And both the other bikes are much older than the FZ. The Suzuki is a 2011 bike and the Shiver is from 2007.

[@Skyerzen]

The motor is EVERYTHING on a bike. hence their name MOTOrcycle. The bike's suspension on the FZ 09 IS good! When you fairly compare it against bikes in its class! Sadly for the niner tho, EVERYONE compares it against bigger, more expensive, more capable bikes! like litter supersport bikes, and touring bikes! Why? Well because that tripple is soooooo damn sweet people forget the bike is really NOT a super sport bike! The engine alone tricks people into thinking this is a better bike than it is... which oddly enough... it is...

[@kolinknoblauch7796]

I own a gsx-s750z and one of my riding buddies owns a FZ-09. I have put close to 6k on mine and 5 or 6 hundred on the 09 and in my personal opinion I wish I would have bought the 09 over the 750z and the power difference has nothing to do with that. I'm 5'10 and weight 215 and everything about the 09 fits me to perfection, I cant say the same about the 750. The suspension on the 09 is better for my style of riding, we don't blast down curvy roads all the time, we mainly do chill rides and cruise around the state. The softer suspension soaks up the bumps better and feels more planted in corners and the biggest plus is that when I sit on it sags the right amount that I can stand flat footed. The 750z doesn't soak up the bumps as well and I am usually tippy toeing around or on one foot which I don't particularly enjoy. I have tried different preloads but the handling gets a little sketchy in my opinion. The sound of the triple is also much more enjoyable and totally makes you feel like a badass riding it (has a comp werkes exhaust on the 09). My yosh pipe sounds nice but every other I4 sounds the exact same way. Then there's the power difference. I cant lie the 09 is obnoxious but the rider modes do help and once you get used to it, its a lot better than having to keep the 750z at high revs to get much out of it. The final thing that I like about the 09 more is that there are a ton more parts available, cosmetic and performance. I just couldn't beat the price at the dealership so I took the 750z. The damn near couldn't give it away. Got the sucker brand new off the floor for 6,375 OTD. They wanted 8k OTD for the 09.

[@Wabbit1961]

Kolin Knoblauch - Hate to tell you but there's a dealer near me with the 2015 in blue Z model for $4,999! they have two white 2016's for $5,298! All three are brand new with zero miles. If you like the 09 because it's softer then try adjusting your preload front and rear. Something you can't do on the 09 or the Shiver. I plan on buying the 2015 Z model and take the fugly plastics off that surround the radiator. They're hiding a beautiful frame and engine IMO. I've owned Yamahas, Kaws, Ducs, Suzuki's, you name it. Yamaha always saves their money in the suspension and brakes department. In the case of the 09 add to that crappy fuel mapping that gives you too abrupt on/off throttle. My 2003 FZ-1 was way smoother and more fun. The GIXXIS 750 reminds me a lot of my FZ.

[@Wabbit1961]

Kolin Knoblauch - 09's can be found new now for $6,500-$7,000.

[@Wabbit1961]

Kolin Knoblauch - never buy a bike when it first comes out.

[@Pillokun]

this is the first time I really appreciate the looks of the fz-09/mt-09. the yellow paint makes it look like a new bike... Nice...

[@myriad860]

This video is very unorganized, none of the review tips make sense, worst review this site has ever put out. I have seen better.

[@MDHenry4]

Glad someone said it. 5 mins of nothing no UHD 4k? They can do better. Give us 5 mins per bike as a standard...

[@gab155]

I was torn on whether to buy the GIXXUS or the FZ09, but I went with the with the Suzuki and I am loving my new GSX-S750 it is a great all around bike. It has good power throughout the power band, but the real fun on the bike is when it starts getting over 8000rpm+. I also think it's the best looking bike of these three bikes.

[@cruisercor3774]

I test rode the GSXS-750 the other day. Haven't ridden the FZ-09 yet, but I'm considering it too. I really like the handling of the GSXS though. And the stock factory pipes and sound are super aggressive sounding, more like a straight up supersport.

[@indianarchangel]

As per their article "FZ-09" is the winner. In my opinion too the FZ-09 blows the other 2 right out of the water in almost all categories. However, I must say that the "judges" were far too harsh on the FZ yet they had to give it the Number 1 spot. Just goes on to say that Yamaha indeed is the winner no matter what. [From the article "In the end it was the FZ that came out on top but only by the skin of its under-suspended teeth. It’s saving grace being its weight-to-power ratio - objective scores in the ScoreCard that gave it a minimal advantage over the other two."]

[@qj877]

I think the Suzuki, as usual, looks the best. I think I'll go with that for my first bike next year. Better than something like a SV650SF or FZ but not as risky as a supersport. Perfect. And I'm choosing the GSXS over the FZ09 simply for looks. I need to try both of them on though.

[@phoenix1925]

+DemocracyOfHypocrisy the gsx is ugly. go for a z800 if you want an i4 and looks.

[@qj877]

+phoenix1925 I like them but they're still like $8-9k. I can get a GSXS for like $6500.

[@TheOzTurkish]

+DemocracyOfHypocrisy I also like the gsx-s (or gsr750 here in aus) but I can get a '14 FZ09 (MT-09 here) for the same money.... or a romper stomping SV 1000 for the same money which munches both of them in torque and HP its a tough call

[@qj877]

+TheOzTurkish I think I've decided to go with the FZ8. It's a little faster than the 3 in this video but I can get it cheaper than all of them.

[@SeasideStrangler]

phoenix1925 that gsx looks amazing, Kawasakis look retarded.

[@MerlinMan1579]

Nice review. I have ridden the FZ09 but for me it was way too powerful, I like to use most of a Motorcycle engines flexibility, and I would never do that on the FZ09. Personally I find it really ugly, but that is just my opinion. The bike that appeals to me the most is the Aprilia, it handles the best and the motor, for me, is useable. Plus it looks great.

[@CarletonJohnson]

Im happy to see this, I have a Shiver :)

[@oshkoshbjosh986]

Is it bad to bounce off the rev limiter like that? Wondering because I did so by accident the other day. . .

[@gerdz101]

3:34 that guitar solo was epic.

[@mikearonson8201]

Appreciate your honest opinions.

[@therealpickleahoy]

The GSX-750's handling is miles ahead of the FZ09 which is a total pogo stick on bumps while turning. I rode both and although the triple is insanely fast, you cant really buy a bike just to go straight, it's terrible without upgrades.

[@Battle_Garage]

ive seen a few of these guys reviews and they argue with each other in the most akward way possible.. not great hosts

watched this episode over 7 times since it was released... never noticed the T.R.O.Y instrumental when Troy started talking about the Suzuki.

[@drizz6508]

Whaddup Fella's?! I might have a biased opinion but the FZ-09 is clearly the winner in my book. I'm 6ft8 300lbs and I have no complaints(well maybe 1 or 2) but the bikes overall performance works wonders for me. You can't go wrong with all that usable power! What road was that... Ortega/ACH?!

can i get some isight? fz 07 vs gsx s750 vs street triple/r. i wanna know how the maintenance and reliability is on the street compared to the other two. i was originally considering getting a cbr600rr 07-12, and if i couldnt find any i liked for my price range then the gsxr 600 was my next bet 08-12. then i saw the daytona 675 08-12 and fell in love but didnt know if i should opt for the 09+ models since they have upgrades. yet i came to my senses and figured the nakeds and streetfighters where better all around for the riding id be doing (live in NYC). im even considering a thruxton or t100 black. any help or advice would be appreciated! btw itll be my first bike

[@michaelmag1095]

Troys enthusiastic comments brought spice this discussion

[@MrSlowestD16]

GSX-S is probably best handling in the canyons, followed by the FZ09 and then the shiver. Though the GSX-S is peaky from what I hear (haven't ridden one yet), I'd probably go with the FZ09 out of this line-up.

[@phoenix1925]

shiver has about the same torque with fz-07 and horsepower closer to 07 than 09. why are you compairing them?(monster 821 would fit better in the class). I would be more interested in a comparison between 07 and shiver. There is a price difference though..but it would still be interesting...!! do it! Next light-middle naked compaire for 2016 -> fz-07, duke 690, shiver and whatever else you want. Also, monster 821, fz-09, z800 would be an other nice compaire..!!!

[@crownmoto]

FZ09 for sure. Light and flickable, torquey motor, and R6 brakes which are stellar. Add some aftermarket suspension bits and you're good to go...anywhere FAST!

[@A7XBilly]

one question! why all the american yamahas the turn lights are lighting? :S i dont understand!

[@bvansiclen]

Great reviews guys. Most of us (all) won't have a chance to ride each one so you offer a collection of perspectives that directs certain riders to certain bikes - Meanwhile more than half of the chumps in this thread are here to b*tch. To those of you that don't ride or don't understand the connection needed between rider and bike, you will never get it. This was an excellent review of three bikes true riders looking for a sport naked will find valuable. Three different riders of different ages with different riding styles. That makes for a great video.

[@jeffbankston8806]

after 2 months with the GSX s750, the programming will not wheelie and I am sure it's in the PCM. just off the line you can feel it holding back and then it's on. Is it wheelie control? power commander V is here we shall see

[@mattcossel29]

Jeff Bankston I recently road a brand new one on a Suzuki demo day and noticed the same thing, talk about killing the soul of a streetfighter..

[@jeffbankston8806]

the other day out of the blue 2020 miles it came up on its own. Still have not put power commander yet but seems like no problem now though I'm not a wheelie freak

[@johnnyViDeO]

The Suzuki is a wee bit underpowered and lacks ABS and TC. The FZ-09 wins here. Too much of this video was out of focus and Burns' audio was barely audible. Don't you guys own a set of headphones for the field? Drone shots were awesome, however.

[@seanviper99]

What was the drone called and how much?

[@ReubenUst]

+seanviper99 Most likely a DJI

[@andrewsrahn]

song at 3:40??

[@XaviSpit]

MT-09 is the best for me; it's a fun, fun bike.

[@gwwayner]

Fork out the extra money and get the powerful and fine-handling Triumph 675 STR with the Daytona sport-bike chassis. The Yamaha has a great motor, but the high front end and upright riding position makes it too wheelie-prone, and it's chassis/suspension is not in the same league as the Triumph when the high-speed corners get bumpy. The Suzuki is just what Yamaha abandoned with their previous naked bike.

[@MDHenry4]

I will stick with my 2007 SV650S for $3,500 with a stage one exhaust and agree that I want to get forward. Not sure why Suzuki didn't bore up the 650 v twin to 750 instead of going backwards to the inline 4.

[@SamP0rterBridges]

6 years later I just bought a gsx-s750 that sat in the showroom until March of this year. The guy I bought it from only put 500 miles on it in 6 months.

[@MrRadialdrift]

I have the Suzuki and it is a boring bike. It is very vague mid corner in the front end, brakes are rubbish and the riding position is very uncomfortable. Good bike to ride to work on, but boring to have fun on.

[@SpartanCL1989]

I find these guys have zero enthusiasm. Just monotone and almost like they are bored.

[@Swe3ets]

Why didn't you mention the gsx-s750 (gsr750) was 4 years old?

[@cueballB]

Because Americans think that when a bike hits their market, it must be new. I've seen that a lot with American reviews of this bike. They call it "Suzuki's answer to the FZ09." While the GSR was around long before the FZ09 was made. They complain about old brakes on a new bike. They're not. They're old brakes on an old bike. They talk about an old swingarm on a new bike, it's not, it's an old swingarm on an old bike. The GSR 750 was Suzuki's answer to Kawasaki's Z750 (a bike that's since been replaced by the Z800) and it destroyed the Z750 in every way. The GSR 750 won multiple bike of the year awards when it first came out in 2010 and it's still a damn fine bike. This review should have been called "Old VS New"

[@mrvwbug4423]

No surprises. The Suzuki is what Suzukis have always been, supremely competent but lacking in character. The FZ-09 drips with character (something traditionally rare in Japanese bikes), has an amazing motor, but the suspension was fished out of a dumpster. Though things have changed over the last couple of years. The FZ-09 finally got a good suspension, and the GSXS has picked up a bit of a harder more GSXR-like edge in its redesign, and both bikes got modern electronics for 2017.

[@rexbry1]

Is it Yamaha MT-09 or FZ-09. It looks similiar With Yamaha MT-09.

[@barryervin8536]

So you spend a day riding 3 new bikes and then bash one of them because it "took a little longer to get used to"? In what way is that relevant to someone who's shopping for a bike and plans to ride it for much longer than a day, and will get used to whichever one they buy? I've been reading motorcycle magazines since 1962, and the only thing that never changes is that you guys live in a fantasy world.

[@almonte415]

I totally agree.

[@arch417powersports]

FZ-09 will probably be my next bike.

[@asdfghjklzxcvbnm6874]

isn't aprillia is a little bit overpriced?

[@chachim3014]

In Adelaide you can buy a new one for about the same price as an MT09. There both good bikes but I reckon the Aprilia has better overall build quality. It doesn't make the HP of the MT09, it's about 20hp less and weights about 15kg more so if you want power the MT is the way to go but as an overall package the Shiver is better imo.

[@thebeaconsandfriends8909]

Thinking about this for my first bike. It’s the most affordable thing around me

[@phatrides222000]

looking at those tires, they leaned hard as hell. never thought my fz09 could do that!

[@robertbobin5053]

Depends on which manufacturer, has the biggest bank for compliments.

[@ruskiyify91]

These guys are talking about what bike can hang with the other. Maybe in a drag race they are right but on the street or track it's really all about the rider because i didn't see any knee cornering.

[@NorCalSaint]

I like having your reviews playing in the background at work while I do other things... So although I enjoy them I will never "go to your website" to see who the winner is.

[@cott10r]

gotta agree with burns, the fz-09 looks meh to me

Everyone is always sold on the fz09 because of the torque. But they fail to leave out facts about how uncomfortable the seat is, wind buffering because it's a taller bike, the shitty display that sucks in the sun etc. The only score is that it's light and quick. The suzuki is a better overall bike. Aprilia motorcycles are for the same type of people that ride "fucking DUCATIS" as Cycle Cruza says

Ya drop Tom as an editor. It looks like I wasn't the only one that thinks he's a douch, his fellow editors think so too haha

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

The week brakes on the GSX-S750 just kill it of me.

[@colterrockwell7492]

Thank you for the actual video!

[@eastbaymauiboy]

yeah, I'm not going to your website. just go ahead and say that the FZ 09 is the best one.

[@decidedtoride]

Stick a mic in your helmet and give us some extemporaneous thoughts on the fly.

[@2strokepsycho]

trying so hard not to say what they really think, ie something negative, that it's actually distracting and takes away from your credibility

[@EpicHotCheese]

Would choose the MT/FZ-09 any day!

[@akaaccount]

How can you just bang bikes against the rev limiters like that? Good lord

[@brock12003]

I'm coming off an ZX10R onto the FZ09 and not even missing the power. This thing is awesome ! I'm a fatty too so with the suspension just crank up the preload front and rear then bob's your uncle !

[@Gin81593]

2:::58 what kind of jackeet is that?

[@singhsahab23075]

Include Kawasaki Z 800 Too

[@Joachimv9]

Cant challenge the fz09. no need for it.

[@AleksiJoensuu]

The Yamaha is yellow, I'd take that one!

[@zayacrawford171]

wow this video was 6 years ago

[@Big_Abomination]

The swinger on the Suzuki looks so cheap. Whata shame

[@doggbiscuit]

+Twil It is the same swing arm found on the Gladius, and it is a pain in the a$$ to adjust.

[@cueballB]

Yeah. I was hoping they would've revamped it a bit already. This is a 2011 bike afterall.

[@doggbiscuit]

Suzuki has a bad habit of recycling old parts when they do a redesign, but I think that has to do with keeping the bike at a lower price point.

[@victoreous626]

What? No Harley in the group?

[@1990-t1j]

FZ-09 by a mile.

[@TheCanadianCyclist]

Oh you tricked us into visiting your site...

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

TheSuperMotoHooligan Tricked?

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

+joshuamoore13 (sigh) Internet vulgarity. Quaint. No, I'm not. It just didn't take long to respond. I've criticized Mo.com plenty.

[@danielorozco6296]

why are you comparing an fz-09 to a gsxs750

[@OrdinaryMoe]

This is the 3rd or 4th video of theirs I've watched this week and they always pull that got to our website for the results crap. RAGE!!! The merchandise on your website not generating enough clicks, WTF, UNSUBBED!!!

[@dastrongstig4831]

no z800?

[@unpopuIaropinion]

Where is Honda CB650F ?

[@TheCdubbleyoo]

Lord Random Too much plastic, too much cost for the purposes of this group.

[@EletroBoyTV]

going to the site to know how it ends

[@jfc8681]

[@up97]

fz07????

[@TheCyberMantis]

Let's hope Yamaha fixes the suspension on the 2016 FZ-09.

[@patw9175]

I think the GSXS would be the perfect motorcycle with a round headlight

[@shmac96]

That was a cool solo!

[@deadpool4385]

[@sixcycle]
