im a fan of naked bikes and hooligans but this thing is ugly, but fitting
I completely agree about the partial (bikini) fairing and a short windscreen, but I am hopeful that such an option becomes available in the years ahead....will be very tough for me not to pull the trigger if/when that happens.Reading about it for specs and pricing, I would love to get one.. ONLY thing keeping me from trading in on one is that it is missing atleast a partial fairing and windscreen.
To make it do able for me, I would need a fairing/windshield atleast similiar to the FZ1. That bike will not be one to take on the super slab or longer distance higher speed rides. You will tire relatively quickly.
On paper other than the small fuel tank, the bike is a 10!
Other than the obvious very good power and reasonable weight of the FZ09, the ergos seems fantastic to me. More leg room and higher bars, set up great for commuting and touring.
I rode the Ninja 1000 a couple years ago and I did love the power...really great "get up and go," but it was very buzzy....deal breaker for me. Assuming that the FZ1 is not buzzy like that, I am certain that would love it, but I would still prefer more upright ergos.
Check out the stats on the distance to foot pegs and bars and you'll see what I am referring to with respect to the FZ09.

price and performance is amazing. wish it had faring's though.
either way im still paying of some bills in the near future new bike will have to wait a good while
