It looks like a great little bike and something along the lines of what I'd be interested in since I'm already liking the FJR1300's feel for me (only on the showroom floor, haven't had a chance to ride it yet). Sadly, I think the seat height will kill the deal for me as high as it isCowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Very nice, sensible tourer.
Good to see manufacturers offering so many great choices these days; something to fill just about everyone's lifestyle. Just wish one of the Big Four would develop a proper "learner" bike for US-based MSF schools (eg: Honda CG125) with low seat height, mid controls, narrow tank, and perhaps a roll cage

Ridding a motorcycle is coming back especially since the rise of gas prices. I'm 30 and when I started ridding 8 years ago I had only one other friend who rode a bike. Now I know at least 10 friends and family that own new or newer machines and allot of them are Yamaha's. I've considered an FZ-09 and the FJ-09 is the perfect replacement for the tired FZ1 line. But I want an upgrade in power delivery and the 850cc tripple isn't what I want. However I do know a buddy of mine is looking into trading in his 08 FZ6 for a new FJ-09. So many new types of bikes out now for so many more people are ridding compared to 10-15 years ago. Glad to see a lighter weight tourer out there now!Jedz Moto

I do not get the busy "transformer" styling... It looks stupid, adds useless complexity/cost to the bike, and doesn't even do anything aerodynamically. IMO.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

... I love the look! The FJ style is pulling the heart strings of the FZ guys. 2 of my friends first bikes were FZs and I LOVE the dual eye look of my FZ. Aimed for us guys who learned to love Motorcycles on bikes that looks similar. Circle headlight=old/classic/harley.Jedz Moto

Got ya, I guess it takes a certain types of guys to like the yards of folded plastic. The dual H4 lights is awesome to have. My Fizzy put out more light then my car... But its been augmented and upgraded to HIDs.
Have you guys seen the Ducati scrambler... Here's one nice looking machine. Another bike that reasonably priced and I'm sure will be a great all rounder bike.
Then there is this bad-A$$ transformer, rocket engine, space shuttle, offspring, thing.... If you think the FJ is ugly you'll think this is hideously awesome...
