2017 Yamaha FZ-09

The Yamaha FZ-09 is synonymous with style, comfort, performance and speed, making it one of the most desirable (and affordable) naked street fighters today. This is a bike that makes you rethink your riding style and wardrobe, and has prompted the industry the goods to make you look like a superstar in the saddle.

The Yamaha FZ-09 is powered by a liquid-cooled 847cc inline 3-cylinder DOHC engine with downdraft intake and ride-by-wire throttle control. Remember, this is a Yamaha street fighter, which means quick-revving and torquey all day long. And the triple designation refers to a host of features, including three staggered intake funnels to spread the torque, and a mass-centralized 3-into-1 exhaust system featuring a short, slash-cut exhaust outlet placed as central and low to increase handling.

Additional features include adjustable traction control, D-Mode system with three throttle valve control maps (Standard, "A" and "B"), adjustable inverted 41mm fork and horizontal Monocross rear shock, aluminum 10-spoke wheels, and ABS.

The Yamaha FZ-09 is priced at $8,999, and comes in three colors: Candy Red, Matte Silver and Intensity White.

“All in all, Yamaha has taken one of our favorite motorcycles and made it even better. As impressive as the 2017 FZ-09 is, however, the most impressive thing might be that it offers all of these additional features at a price just $800 higher than last year.” Brian Catterson - Contributor, Cycle World Magazine
