FZ-09 (MT-09) - A Girl's First Ride and Impressions

[@duurtydeeds]

Why can't I stop watching these fz09 videos?! Planning an buying one in a couple years and this is just making me itch even more!! :)

[@Shogun09R1]

Matt H. Buy it!! You will love it!! ~ Lady L

[@krispewkreme4510]

I wanted one 3-4 years ago. Might get one in January

[@tink_]

can someone persuade me to fz09 instead of fz07

[@eewwww930]

Matt H. Me to man im get this babe next month. 😂

[@Richard-zy4fz]

@@eewwww930 fz09 is tons of fun, as in it scaring sh*t out of me 😂. front wheel will not stay down haha

[@L0nn13_c0]

Hate to say this, but this bike looks so much better than the Triumph Street Triple. WAY better looking.

[@Shogun09R1]

+lonnie333 I haven't ridden the Triumph, but this bike is a blast to ride:) ~ Lady L

[@RidingPhilCollins]

+lonnie333 I own a street triple and I took one of these for test ride today. In my opinion this is so much more fun! and more comfortable! Hate to say it haha

[@opmike343]

There's nothing "starter bike" about an FZ-09. It's 600CC horsepower with even more torque. The FZ-07 is more beginner friendly, since it's a SV650/FZ6R/650R class bike (arguably better).

[@Shogun09R1]

opmike343 Thanks for commenting. I don't think there is any such thing as a perfect starter bike. Only the rider knows that for themselves.~ Lady L

[@johnjacob688]

pengasus I've always agreed with that too but unfortunately not everyone has self control and because of that you would rather see someone on a bike that cant bite them back as hard. I actually did what they also say not to do for a first bike and bought brand spanking new.

[@pengasus]

John Jacob​ Fair enough. I agree that they are less forgiving rider errors.

[@Tropicocitwo]

opmike343 Over here in the U.K we start out on 125cc bikes. Yes, they're incredibly slow (my CBR125 does 0-60 in around 13 seconds LOL) but spending several months on one really helps when it comes to learning how to ride a geared bike. I'm always surprised to find out that 'starter' bikes in the U.S are often 250cc or larger, really surprises me that it's legal :)

[@Tropicocitwo]

Stigi Gonzalez Lower power machines are FAR easier to control though!

[@ririlan]

Fun to watch a girl first impression on a naked bike. Comments are so different than what guys would say. thanks for sharing and enjoy riding :)

[@Orangefzcom]

Also, it isn't just the fueling causing the jerkiness. Notice any freeplay in the throttle when you start to turn it? Run 8 inches or so down the throttle cable (behind the Cluster) and pull the rubber boot up. Under the rubber boot is an adjuster knob to loosen, and then the long adjuster. Turn the long adjuster towards the front of the bike until your freeplay is gone in the throttle. Then, re tighten the adjuster lock knob. Make sure the throttle can still snap back. Then go ride and enjoy much less snappy/jerky throttle control.

[@robtbomba3491]

Enjoyed your reactions/comments about the bike, and it seems that everyone agrees with you ... the FZ-09 is a fun bike at a great price. One caution, not to suggest that you don't know this, ... but never ride in the center of the lane when behind cars/trucks, .

[@tobyh3681]

I’m a little late to this party, but I just picked one of these bikes up & absolutely love it. Been riding sport bikes for years but this is a refreshing change to say the least. Only thing I did different than your first ride was starting it out in “B” mode LOL, just a tad tamer. Great review!

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Don't these use fly by wire throttle .. Would explain the difference .. I like this sort of seating position better than the clip on position .. It's also fun as hell going through the twisties fast to , those bars give u way more leverage during switchbacks .. Long distance the wind would be a bit of a pain , as I know from having a naked bike ..

[@binksters_dad]

Def not a starter bike. A lot of torque on that bad boy.

[@Shogun09R1]

Jason C I agree, crazy throttle!! ~ Lady L

[@binksters_dad]

***** I'd take any one of those naked bikes you speak of. I have no familiarity with either of them tho. I like the Ducati Diavel as well.I may have spelled that wrong.

[@jamesdean4992]

It is, but that electronic throttle is just sensitive with and un progressive feel

[@QBallRacing]

just love her voice. charming and just says anything that comes into her mind... wish more girls were like that.

[@deanhawk6818]

Yes you are right it is down to what you prefer here in England people use the Ghost more than the GoPros. Most of my friends use the Drift Ghost than the GoPro

[@SueNami777]

Awesome!! So excited for you and your new bike, Sho! Loved your review on the bike, Lady L. You keep me smiling the whole vid with your comments and laughter! So CUTE!

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! Thanks so much:) ~ Lady L

[@jc-plotplan1151]

I found the niner being a mut of the previous bikes I rode. The handling of a drz400, the torque of the monster 620 and the punch of the 600cc yamaha that I trade it off for. For me it's a great fun bike with a kick... and after replacing the rear shock from a ZX6R the handling improved over stock, I really like this bike not because I own it but how it makes me feel when I'm riding it.

[@lwsrider]

I've probably said this before, but so what? I'll say it again! Hearing you laugh is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos! I crack up every time! Keeps me coming back for more! Keep 'em coming!

[@Shogun09R1]

lwsrider LOL!!! Thank you so much for such kindness:) ~ Lady L

[@TheFitITGuy]

I've been wondering why I haven't seen your videos for like the past 6 months. Dang youtube unsubscribed me from your channel apparently, like it has done to a bunch of other people I was subbed to. I've got a lot of vids to catch up on now lol. Great review! I loved the fz-09 when I rode it as well.

[@Shogun09R1]

MichaelV Welcome back!! Wow, 6 months??? You do have lots to catch up on, I hope you enjoy:)~ Lady L

[@ProReviews2015]

nice and beautiful bike , i got the FZ .150cc here in Argentina , its such a good quality bike , i couldnt imagine how feels that FZ09 , salute!

[@Shogun09R1]

#Pro Reviews 2015 Thanks! Enjoy your bike and stay safe:)~ Lady L

[@JujuG20t]

I've put 4700 on mine so far! came from many different sportbikes and the FZ is pretty fun in town. I'll find out soon how it is on the track though

[@JDMpandaEK]

Congrats Sho on the new FZ-09. Can't wait to see it in person. Enjoy and ride safe!

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks!! ~ Lady L

[@ryanmcclan]

Im confused about the shifting. What do you mean standard shifting? Was your R6 1 up 5 down?

[@PacoConfu71]

From what I've seen, both her R6 and ZX10 were/are 1 up/5 down. Sho modified the ZX10 so that it was GP shifting for her.

[@Shogun09R1]

PacoConfu71 explained perfectly:) ~ Lady L

[@Shogun09R1]

PacoConfu71 Thanks for explaining:) ~ Lady L

[@ryanmcclan]

Shogun09R1 I ride dirtbikes so this GP shifting is a completely new concept to me. Learn something everyday.

[@deanhawk6818]

Thanks Maria cant stop riding the bike now and she is thinking of getting a GoPro camera or the Drift Ghost camera we are not shore which one to go for has it is our first time getting camera's for our bike and now i am thinking of getting the FZ09 instead of the ZX10 Stay safe and keep riding

[@Shogun09R1]

That is awesome! I have heard good things about the Ghost, but we still only use the GoPros now. I think preference would be the call between both bikes, it is a Win Win either way:) ~ Lady L

[@Victor-fg1ky]

I'm 5'5 and i'm really concerned about my foot on the floor on both sides, although i always wear my gear and riding boots. I want to get the MT09 too. I really wish she could do a video picking the bike up if it fell down. It's definitely an awesome bike to suit my daily commuting.

[@Ramsey1623]

I love the FZ-09, it is a good bike all around... the only thing i had an issue with was the ability to keep the front wheel on the ground. Hahaha. It does wheelies like crazy. Yamaha built a brilliant triple. I was gonna buy one, however, i found a killer deal on a new monster 796.If you put some clubman handlebars on it, it will give you more of that lean and feeling like its a sportbike.

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!!! Glad you were able to find a great deal! That can definitely change your mind when you are torn. Hope you are enjoying and ride safe. ~ Lady L

[@Motophonic]

Great reveal and walkaround! Rode and reviewed the 2015 FZ-09 and posted a vid yesterday, loved it. Needs stiffer springs if you are going to push it hard in the corners, custom seat and a pipe (maybe a fly screen) but that's about it. Great ride and great value!

[@Shogun09R1]

+Motophonic Thanks! Sho and I agree on all points:)~ Lady L

[@Xgamer121X]

wow great video. how did you get that following camera to be in sync with the audio in you helmet? was it a wireless mic?

[@Shogun09R1]

Xgamer121X It was Sho's great editing skills:)~ Lady L

[@Marcbgping]

yeah the lever are a bit low and the front forks are soft, that's cuz you got to manhandle it almost like a motard, elbows up, sit closer up front, dominate the front end, press the handlebar down when you got to lean, don't stick ya knee out so you feel yerself drop into corners, it's a different riding experience to sportsbikes. Great cuz you got leeway in case the corner tightens.

[@SuperVulgarian]

Congrats on your new FZ-09! I've watched/read all reviews on it so it was interesting that Lady L pointed out the exact things reviewers pin-pointed too - suspension, brakes, throttle. I think these can be changed/tweaked and the rest is getting used to the bike. You'll love the riding position so much the R1 will feel awkward afterwards - I know because it does to me after riding the CB for a while. ;) Can't wait to see more of this bike!

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks! It was weird getting back on ZXena after we filmed this video. Funny how you get so used to a riding position in such a short amount of time. ~ Lady L

[@SuperVulgarian]

Shogun09R1 Indeed! Awesome experience though, I bet! I love riding different bikes.

[@Mike-Oxlong93]

it's also far from heavy, it flicks over like a heavy 125.

[@Shogun09R1]

+Peter Brookes It is quite different from a sport bike, but crazy fun.~ Lady L

[@misscrabstick]

I have one too! great fun bike, changed the seat on mine to the comfort option one, much kinder on the down bellows.

[@asssface2000]

dont girls like grinding on their seat?

[@decemberferret]

asssface2000 it might be cuz im drunk but i giggled like an idiot

[@SeffMotovlog]

Can you reccomend it to me? I only drove 150cc. Im planning to buy fz 9/mt09.

[@timothywhitlock6208]

Thanks You for making this video because my Girlfriend ride's with me all the time and is interested in learning how to ride and getting a bike of her own. This video is very informative and helpful. Please continue to make more videos, Thanks :)

[@zx6roy]

I have been researching the fz-09 for a month now. After watching your ride and review I want it! Two questions, where do you live because the weather looks awesome and was there a waiting list for the bike.

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! Thanks. We live in Southern California. There is not a waiting list for the bike, but the dealers can barely keep one on hand. Good luck with your purchase! ~ Lady L

[@deanhawk6818]

You are right the Fz09 is a great bike to ride my girlfriend had just got her's Fz09 And she love's the bike and now she can not stop riding it around the country side here in England UK and she has let me ride it for a day and i love it she said it is a little big for her as she is just 5ft 4inchs but she loves it

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! She is an inch taller than me! I can see why she can't stop riding, it is just so much fun!! Hope she enjoys:) ~ Lady L

[@bryanrushlow9274]

love that bike...so I bought one...just waiting for the snow to melt here in Canada.

[@chapuwins82]

Will this be a good first bike ?

[@DJNeoSonam]

Search up about "hard break-ins" its supposed to be better than the standard factory break process.

[@Shogun09R1]

We have always done standard and have never had issues. Thanks for the heads up though:) ~ Lady L

[@JayyEVee]

I love the FZ-09 but am waiting for the FJ-09 to come out - I want my -09 with some fairing! Good rider review - interesting you can even reach the ground without the bike being lowered @ 5'3"! I have a friend who comes in around that height and needed to lower her cbr500 to even get toes to the ground in a decent manner.

[@Shogun09R1]

JayyEVee Thanks, I can barely touch, luckily, you don't have to keep your feet down too much when riding:) ~ Lady L

[@JayyEVee]

True enough! :)

[@itsjustniko9323]

getting mine in spring first new bike since 08 an before anyone jumps my back. my first bike was a 86 yamaha radian my second was a 86 suzuki cavalcade an my first new bike was a 2007 hayabusa. ever since I first heard of the FZ 09 I just had to have one.

[@Shogun09R1]

+It's just Niko You will love it.. Glad that you are about to get back on 2 :)~ Lady L

[@itsjustniko9323]

+Shogun09R1 thank you

[@nickthorne5872]

Nobody ever told you about the benefits of a hard break-in? Doing a factory recommended easy break-in is actually detrimental to the future performance and longevity of most modern four stroke engines. Basically, it just doesn't allow the piston rings to seat to the cylinder wall properly. This is a very controversial topic... took me by surprise when I first heard it too, but after doing lots of research on the matter and with some first hand experience breaking in my new 2014 Suzuki Drz400Sm, a hard (yet responsible and well planned) break in is definitely the way to go. I wish more people knew about this, it makes me sad when I see a new bike not being broken in properly because I know the owner just wants their bike to be the best it can be, but ironically by trying to be nice to it from the start, they are unknowingly doing it harm.

[@Shogun09R1]

Nick Thorne Thanks for sharing. We do know about the hard break in also, but we have done the factory break in on all of our bikes and we have never had any issues with any of them, so this is just what works for us. Like you said, there are lots of arguments for both sides, everyone has to do that they think is best for them. ~ Lady L

[@king_chomza]

Shogun09R1 yup, I bought direct from llamaha and they told me there is no break-in, just change the oil at 600. They said use all gears all rpms to get the most benefit out of the initial oilchange. Thanks for the vid.

[@TheNecroWrencher]

piston rings dont move in a plated aluminum cylinder, they expand with heat, the oil on the cylinder wall can carbonize in a thin film of varnish like material, how would a hard break in do anything to aid the sealing of the piston rings?

[@Skyerzen]

The hard break thing is a myth. it has no realistic backing behind it. It's always anecdotal. On the flip side tho, in today's super-precise, computer-made, and exotic alloys world, the break in period is NOT that important. I'm a metallurgic engineer for an aerospace company in CA by the way.

[@entitykeeper8869]

Ceramic cylinder liners on these bikes are very, very hard & low friction. You would not affect the piston rings with a hard break in. You would affect the crank bearings through increased metal loss on a hard break in.

[@texasflood6923]

Love how you sound like you're having a great time (all the laughing) :)

[@scooterman8125]

Picked mine up today,awesome bike ! I have an r-6 also huge difference

[@Vader2Vader]

Congrats to you and Sho on the FZ09!! I like the FZ line! I test rode the FZ6r last year and it was a great bike. The seat height is low and it was more comfortable for me than the R6. Mine did have a windscreen, so I was not freezing :)

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! Glad you had the windscreen:) ~ Lady L

[@RBEL-bt4lo]

This is probs the best vid of having a great time riding hahaha put a smile on my face the whole ride :)

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks so much!! I'm glad the happiness was contagious:) ~ Lady L

[@B67-k3i]

U have the cuttest laugh lol! U were informative & kept me laughing throughout esp about the windscreen! :)

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! Thanks so much!! I am glad you liked it! ~ Lady L

[@jimbeaver27]

Please stay out of vehicles' blind spots. Do NOT approach a vehicle on the freeway from the right side. You need some riding lessons.

[@nasto19nj]

+Jim Davis (Eastern Beaver) almost every approach angle is a blind spot for a motorcycle. that's why you look twice.

[@joshbowman2934]

Has the can chain on the fz09 started making noise yet?

[@carolsuemy9442]

Congratulations on video ! Recently launched in Brazil , we are intending to buy , please tell me what is your height and the length of your leg . I love bikes , but I have only 1.55 tall and only 0.78 length of the legs . Thank you !

[@Shogun09R1]

cathiwunhya I am 5'4". Hope this helps.~ Lady L

[@sullybiker6520]

Always interested to see a sport bike rider try out these naked bikes. Thought it was funny you struggled with the height - I have the exact opposite problem - I'm completely pretzel'd on sport bikes :)

[@Kaz808HI]

You get a lot of bang for your buck, I was seriously considering the FZ-09 before I got my ZX6R.

[@Shogun09R1]

I agree. Ride safe. ~ Lady L

[@josephiorio7376]

How do you like your zx6r? Compared to the 09 if you would know the power difference? Or even think about the fz8 if you ever looked into that?

[@Phenomental1ty]

there's reasons for doing a hard break-in than taking it easy on the power. look at jake thegardensnakes video "why the hard break in". i'm too lazy to type.

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! I appreciate you giving us the heads up:) ~ Lady L

[@Phenomental1ty]

Shogun09R1 =)

[@joejava68]

5'3" really? The cam seems to add inches .Happy motoring

[@jaarmen3]

Great video review and ride. Congrats to Sho on his new FZ-09. Enjoy!

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks so much! ~ Lady L

[@RichDunn]

All the test reviews on both sides of the pond say that the fueling is off causing a jerky throttle, so it's a trait of the bike. Yamaha may improve it with a map update downloaded at a future service, or you could always fit a power commander or bazazz fuel management kit to help smooth things out for you. Applaud your love of life, enjoyed your laughter throughout - that's what riding is all about! :-D

[@opmike343]

As far as break-in, not going over whatever RPM the manufacturer suggests isn't as important as making sure you varying the RPM's, speed, acceleration, etc. so that you allow the various engine components to see a range of loading. Cruising along at constant 3,000 RPM for half an hour isn't doing a new engine any favors. This is, more or less, accepted wisdom I think. Those in favor of an easy break-in, notice I didn't say thrash the engine or rev the shit out of it. I just said to "vary." Some people suggest an even more aggressive break-in procedure, but I'm not about to open that can of worms on here as people feel VERY strongly either for or against it.

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks for the heads up:) ~ Lady L

[@madetech]

You are totally right for the break in. I work with industrial machinery and we never break in anything. Start it up and lets go. On bikes i would just use moderation on high rpm for the first few rides (never bought a brand new bike).

[@TheMototerrestrial]

Just curious, do you guys not have a com system between you two?

[@Shogun09R1]

We do, but we never use it!! ~ Lady L

[@TheMototerrestrial]

Shogun09R1 Just curious. Why not? Dont like it or is it a too much of a pain? Just wondering in case i ever think about one.

[@renegadebiker24]

Sho, a man of few words. LOL Very nice review of the FZ-09. That seems like a bike I would love to review.

[@Abomin81onVlog]

This is great, I've been considering the MT-09 (as it's designated in the UK) myself but as it's a couple of months before I'll be buying I can see how you guys get on with it first :)

[@Shogun09R1]

So far we are still loving it. If you are considering this bike, I would definitely recommend it:) ~ Lady L

[@_VeDa_]

[20 min. into the ride] "There's no windscreen!" lol Adorable

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! Sometimes I am not the most observant:) ~ Lady L

Great choice! I was eyeing that thing at IMS...Congrats guys!

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks! Hopefully we'll get it out there soon on our next canyon ride:) ~ Lady L

[@toysareforboys1]

If you get the ECU flashed that'll fix the twearky throttle right away :)

[@jasonmusal75]

Great commuter bike. Enjoy. I have gsxr750 and a ninja 650 for commuter. Love the combo. You guys will really enjoy. I chose 650 since it looks almost ss. Fully faired. Less wind. Awesome gas mileage and great comfort. Enjoy guys! Keep the great videos coming. Ride safe!

My balls vibrate on mine. Give's me a boner.

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks so much!! Ride safe too:) ~ Lady L

[@frankstocker5475]

More power to girl riders, your doing a great job. Try the MT07 or the new Suzuki 650 both great starter bikes. Come ride the Alps you will never go home.

[@Shogun09R1]

I did post a short vid of riding a friend of mines MT07, it was fun too. I don't know if I will ever make it to the Alps, we are lucky though, we do have many beautiful roads here too:)~ Lady L

I bet you was cold, like my first video on the V-Max. I can hear your sniffles, lol! Please tell me Sho's gonna put clamp-ons and adjustable rearsets on that! Might even have to drop the forks about 5 to 6 cm to get it to feel better on the canyons too! I bet he's looking at after market parts right now!

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! You know Sho can't leave any bike stock:) ~ Lady L

[@lajohnnyel]

WoW I hope ever to move over there. I love a lot of sunshine and my bike. I am from the Netherlands and here you can only 5 months away with the bike :P

[@kd4ysi]

the gas tank looks big how many gallons looks like a very fun bike but i think iwould rather have the fairingsand shield

[@Shogun09R1]

I think that tank is 2 1/2 - 3 gallons. For what this bike is, it is a blast. ~ Lady L

[@triplerida5278]

Shogun09R1 its 3.7 gallons

[@AwkwardMotovlogger]

I love the giggle fits you have lol You have great videos!

[@TheCyberMantis]

I am not surprised. I know Sho is loyal to Yami, and I have had my eye on a new Triumph Street Triple R to go with my CBR1000RR! Nice to have different bikes for different purposes. Naked bikes are fun to cruise around the city with. I was comparing the FZ-09 to the Street Triple R, and I like the Triumph better. The FZ-09 has ride-by-wire throttle, soft brakes, and mushy suspension. The Triumph has none of those problems! I give Sho a month, and he'll be putting Ohlins on that bike! LoL The FZ-09 does have a nice engine though. I'm sure he'll have fun on it. But my guess is, he won't be able to leave it alone. He's going to want to mod it.

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! Sho not change a stock bike... HAHAHA!!! Never!!! ~ Lady L

[@WhiteGravey]

chaparral is one of the best places to go if your into bikes i love that place.

[@demetriscross5681]

Do your camera come with a mic or u have to buy one

[@Shogun09R1]

Demetris Cross We purchased a cheap external mic from Target in the phone headset department, it works great:)~ Lady L

[@pprq55]

do you really recommend this bike as a first bike

[@AlexTrubinDesign]

I've been looking to get a FZ-09 as an upgrade to my ninja 250R, I've only been riding for a year but put about 10k miles on my ninja. Do you think its a wise upgrade? a jump from 250cc to 850cc?

[@Shogun09R1]

You are the only one that knows if you are ready for an upgrade or not. As I always say, every rider is different. I started on a 600 and now I am on a 1000. You have to ride your ride and as long as you feel confident, that is all that matters:) ~ Lady L

[@dragooonblaze]

I think your good buddy went from a ninja 300 to and fz09 and I did the same about 11k on it and then moved up just take it easy I've only had mine for a week now and I love it

[@decemberferret]

i'm in exact same boat as you Trub1n. I ride a ninja 250r, I get my open license at the start of June, have an mt09 firmly in my sights.

[@AlexTrubinDesign]

december ferret Nice, my comment was exactly from a year ago, I got a used 2008 R6 this summer for half the price a new mt09. Great bike and great value.Bbut after of 4 months of riding, it got stolen from downtown, right outside of the federal reserve. :(, total disappointment. Only had an audible xena disk lock on it at the time of theft. Just thought you should be aware, when you get your new bike. Thieves see its value too.

[@decemberferret]

I shouldnt have too much of a problem :) i live in central qld, aus, pretty quiet area ^^

[@ali19186]

[@Shogun09R1]

[@Dracati]

U know I dig your channel, though, not a fan of the Fz09. ...test rode one (review on my channel, with the new V-rod, too) last week at the Phx Bike Show. Since I heard so many fellow YT'ers raving about it in the UK, etc., and I like the naked bikes (my Monster). I think it's due to their electronic throttle, it felt somewhat disconnected and didn't offer the confidence I like. Though it was only a guided group test ride & it could have been due to the multiple ride setting options ....Sweet looks and Power fo shur !! ...Congrats, & that's why there's different bikes for different personalities, etc. I will always keep watching - SpeedSafe ;)

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks so much for the support. This is definitely a different bike, but will be a totally different fun experience for us. Ride safe:) ~ Lady L

[@Dracati]

It was a short 'guided test ride',.. and it can wheelie like a MoFo, too. With the adjustable settings, I'm sure I would dial it in after awhile. I'm glad I did ride it, & I look forward to both of you uploading viddy's from it. Thx for reply !!

[@NathanH172]

Is there a fuel level indicator on this bike?

[@Benny_From_NY]

Yes

[@iridiumflare]

Im planning to get a motorcycle license this Yeah in september. Then in 2 years I want to get this. Anyone can recommend a good 35kw bike till then?

[@YumyLsD]

[@joshuahessler8966]

it really looks like a street fighter. but it looks nice how is it on the street cause i have my street fighter and shes wonderful but freeway sucks like a brick wall hits you with the wind.

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL! Yea, it is tough on the freeway. I am sure he'll add something to fix that:) ~ Lady L

[@LostNbound]

The biggest thing that turns me off to this bike and made me get the 07 is the placement of the dash. It makes no sense for it to be so offset instead of centered like the 07.

[@Shogun09R1]

O.G.Metal It is a little different, but it works:)~ Lady L

[@The.Sky.Driver]

It's cool to see more streetfighter-type bikes out there :)

[@MrGnar1]

That's awesome! Congrats! I'm giddy for sho because that thing is BA for sure.

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! Thanks! I know he cant wait to hit the canyons with you with this baby:) ~ Lady L

[@barker0007]

You're a funny lady Lady L. Seen a few of ya vids. Earned ya self a sub 🏍👍

[@Shogun09R1]

Thanks so much and welcome:)~ Lady L

[@imbrandon16]

man i want to get a bike so bad! but im going to do my self a favor and save my own life by waiting until I'm not as young and stupid i guess you could say?

[@Shogun09R1]

Brandon BoxCutter LOL!! Sound like you are making a smart decision. ~ Lady L

[@decemberferret]

start as early as you can friend. Experience is a lifesaver. Just don't start with this beast. Cruise around on a 250 or something for a year or so until you get your bearings

[@rockinrowdy13]

Very good idea Brandon!

[@DR-br5gb]

december ferret its you again

[@6WheeledGirl]

I want one! Have to wait till I'm off my Ps.

[@Shogun09R1]

Good luck!! ~ Lady L

[@TheJackMac909]

The upright sitting position is a bit different but as I keep looking at the bike it is a very nice looking bike, can't wait to hear what Sho's going to name her & to see how he tricks her out. By the way is it a 1000cc bike? Sho's looking rather comfortable on Z I just paused to read your comment Sho, did you say that's an 09, or is Fz-09 the name?

[@TheJackMac909]

***** Thanks

[@Shogun09R1]

Glad to see you have already received a response to this. Thanks for watching:) ~ Lady L

[@Shogun09R1]

***** Thanks so much! I love when our supporters comment back for us:) ~ Lady L

[@TheJackMac909]

Shogun09R1 Yes I did he gave me a good response

[@franufc8]

Love how you just laughed the whole way through haha :P Nice bike!!

[@Shogun09R1]

LOL!! It was just a blast! ~ Lady L

[@bullsheeptattoo]

What do you mean with breaking period?!

[@Shogun09R1]

Most manufacturers suggest not exceeding a certain RPM range, depending on the bike, until after you reach a certain amount of miles and do the first oil change. It is just a recommendation. Some riders prefer to just go full speed ahead to get through the break in period. Hope this helps. ~ Lady L

[@Rainoman]

I also reviewed this bike last week and will upload my video soon. However I agree on many things... -Jerky throttle: Agreed but in Standard mode it gets better -Levers feel soft (cheap): Agreed but can be changed -Fun bike: Agreed HELL YEAH! -Upright: Agreed -Brakes feel weird: Disagree I liked it tbh -Bumpy ride: Disagreed I felt that it was really soft -Wind: I didn't mind it at all compared to the 2014 Z1000 I reviewed it was really good! -Power: Agreed, plenty of it! -Commuting bike: Agreed but not just limited to that... *evil grin*

[@shamarone]

most sincere review ever...!

[@Marcbgping]

and damn, you got terrible roads in SoCal, without snow refreeze splitting the cracks, there's no excuse for letting tarmac degradation get so bad.
