Motorcyclist staffer Zack Courts is always arriving to office after his commute with a bunch of opinions about the bike he’s riding. Too much this, not enough that, and occasionally has some decent insights. We thought some of it might help consumers or entertain enthusiasts, so we strapped a camera and microphone to the side of his helmet and told him to turn it on when he leaves his house. A lot of him talking in his helmet is complaining about drivers, yelling at red lights, and wondering why billboards aren’t more expensive. But sometimes he actually talks about the bike, and those are the parts we keep. Got a bike you would like to see discussed? Let us know and we’ll send him home on that one next.

It's no secret we're always trying to get our staff to work a little harder. Especially the ones that always seem to have too much to say. "Write it down!" we always shout at each other. Zack Courts is a classic case, always arriving to office after his commute with a bunch of opinions about the bike he's riding. Too much this, not enough that, and occasionally has some decent insights that we thought might help consumers or entertain enthusiasts.

Totally agree, some riders take it a little too seriously which I can see, because motorcycle accidents suck and there's really no way of not getting injured when you crash. But road rage doesn't solve the problem it just turns it into a bigger problem.

The FZ09 is nice, but I like the FZ07 way better after riding both on a demo day. The FZ07 just makes me feel like a hooligan & had that awesome twin cylinder thumping sound. I really would love to see a Proper ADV bike with the FZ07 engine...... I would buy one for sure!! Seriously, been waiting for someone to come out with a true middleweight ADV bike & that motor would be perfect for the job!

after my R1 was stolen I bought an fz 09. I fell in love but eventually sold it to buy my dream bike, an R1. I now have my dream bike, yet I long for the fun I used to have during that summer with the fz 09. I'm considering buying a 2017 model. The updates on this model year seem to address every concern I had about the old, budget-minded 2015 model. Might have to trade in the grom for another toy.
@ridingwithsam
@ridingwithsam 7 лет назад
Why do people complain about soft suspension. It's a cheap bike, you want expensive suspension buy an expensive bike.
@DearMajesty
@DearMajesty 7 лет назад
Because suspension doesn't need to be expensive for it to be good. It costs like $400 to get it revalved and resprung at a reputable suspension tuner. It makes a world of difference.
@DearMajesty
@DearMajesty 7 лет назад
but I guess since soft = cheap in many people's eyes, I guess they need to make it soft otherwise they'd be competing with their upper spec motorcycles.
@tammyforbes2101
@tammyforbes2101 5 лет назад
Soft or hard has nothing to do with how much it cost now adjustments and longevity do count. This bike has adjustable suspension he can harden it to his liking or soften it. And this is a bike that’s built to have a sporty feel yet be comfortable on the street and if it’s to hard it’s not gonna be comfy. I’m sure you can lower this bike and make it stiff as a board and handle great but if your gonna do that just get a real sport bike.

Imagine a street oriented supersport built on a budget with the fz09 engine.. I think it would be a top seller. In the last couple of years sportbikes have gotten more and more track orientated and theres definetly a market for streetable supersports that no manufacturer seems to care about (except maybe ducati) i think :)

The first test ride I did with the first FZ 09....was literally a revelation on wheeling.... Such a motor....effortless...wheelies...effortless riding, light and nimble....I was just amazed.... Not the top end that it promissed through low down and midrange...but who cares... I ride an FZ6...., I have riden a bunch of motorcycles, 1000cc inline4's, V2's, 450's singles..etc...but this inline 3.... is such a smile producer...while riding.
@AridersLifeYT
@AridersLifeYT 7 лет назад
well you didnt mention the mt09 wheelies easy cause its geared short and its tuned for low to mid, ride any 800cc vtwin. same thing but more torque.
@Balafoutre
@Balafoutre 7 лет назад
It also has short wheelbase that facilitates wheelies too....but who cares...it's the sensation of effortless riding, fun to play at any given moment....lightness...and a really amazing engine. 2nd to FZ09 I would place the KTM 690 enduro R and 3rd the BMW F800GS. And one of the best all rounders ever, the Aprilia Tuono1000R 2005-2010. But that's just my opinion.

8 days to go to Eicma ...and hopefully they announce the mt-09 SP ... for you guys FZ-09 SP ...I'm hoping you guys get one and review it, all that Ohlins goodness, so once again this bike should be that much better than the model you are currently testing and be a serious rival for the triumph triple R... I'm jumping right in, down here in Australia and grabbing one of these Yamaha godliness machines in early January ... I'll be having an Akra fitted and a tail tidy before i take possession , me personally not a fan of their imitation European tail thing, my brother has a 2017 MV Aguata brutale 800 and they really did it so much better, sleeker with sexy led blinkers etc, and it works with the single sided swing arm hugging the inner profile of the rim..Yamaha just added the chunk on the outside and it looks like a construction zone.. but SP ....SP ....I need to say it one more time SP!

That stock exhaust sounds pretty good. Don't know if it is just me, but it sounds a little throatier than previous gen? Overall I really like the design upgrades they have made....except for that license plate holder. It looks good from the right side, but man the other side looks really bad IMO. (*proceeding with tin foil hat comment*) From most of the videos I have seen, people seem to only (or mostly only) show the FZ-09 from the right side. Almost like Yamaha has made that a stipulation in allowing test rides with a video viewing. (/tin foil hat comment ). ;) I have really started to enjoy this series of videos Zack, keep 'em coming!

How does this bike handle heavier riders? You said you were a heavy guy at 190 lbs. Is that with or without gear? Because either way I wouldn't consider that particularly heavy. I'm 220 sans gear, and probably closer to 260 once I'm all geared up, so naturally Im curious how this 2017 model handles us heavy riders now that Yamaha has claimed to have reworked the suspension. Thank you for the vid. Thumbs up.

I'm planning to buy one real soon. Will probably have Ohlins NIX30 and some kind of full adj rear shock installed right off the bat. The wheelie issues? The rear swingarm angle doesn't provide enough "anti-squat" tendencies because the angle is too shallow. That can be fixed with a ride-height adjustable shock.

The rear shock has been updated, it is actually the one off of the xsr900. Check out the 44teeth launch video 👌🏻

I own the european version of this, the MT-09. I don't know if the US version has different settings, but I feel the shocks as quite stiff. I'm quite heavy though (95 kg, which I think it's about 200lbs).

Zach, loved this and also the versys commute. Please, if there is any chance, please do the NC 750X commute report. It might be a "boring" bike for some, but it competes in the space of the Versys....would be good to have your feedback.

The magazine MCN is talking about "high" front end and say that the bike is fundamentally imbalanced..even for the SP model..what do you say?

I have watched several of your commutes. You pass EVERYONE all the time. Your days are numbered with city traffic. Please slow down. Show off on emptier roads. Review your videos and note how you never ride below speed limit or with it.
