MSRP is $7999. 115bhp @ 65ft/lbs. Suspension is preload and rebound front and rear. This will likely be my next bike.
wow.. its on yamaha USA site.. means we are getting it.. but why can they offer a faired version???
and coupled with the fact it costs about 1k more than an fz8.. I almost wonder why the hell they ever even offered the FZ8 if they knew they were going to make this bike..
edit: ughh.. i just looked at the fuel capacity... 3.7 gallons.. i wonder what they expect this to get for MPG.. any idea's??
Well it has 3 different fuel maps to choose from. It might get pretty good in economy mode, who knows. I never really use even half the FZ6 tank capacity so I'm not worried about it personally.
Anybody have any idea what in the heck a "crossplane" triple sounds like?
Apparently not much different...
Yikes. Hopefully that was just bad audio! Sounds exactly like my stock FZ6 exhaust.
i like the heck out of it.

Is this Yamaha's first attempt at a triple?
That is the only thing I'd be wary of. Rarely does a manufacturer have all the bugs worked out of a brand new platform and engine on the first try.
