2014 Yamaha FZ 09 MT 09 Announced

Yamaha announced their new FZ-09 ( America) or also known as MT-09 ( Europe ). This new bike features a lightweight 3 cylinder 847cc engine. Although there is a larger engine fitted to the FZ-09 compared to its ancestor FZ-08, the new bike weighs much lighter than the FZ-08.

The new bikes styling is sharper than the ancestors. That R6 style exhaust really stands out with the alloy feel while the swingarm look as bold as the R1s. The whole body of the bike feels really solid.
