2014 Yamaha FZ-09, SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE !!!!! BUT TEAM CHARLOTTE HAS ONE WITH FACTORY WARRANTY AND YOUR FIRST SERVICE HAS ALL READY BEEN DONE !!!!!Hit the starter switch and that sweet and unmistakable sound of the FZ s three-cylinder motor, through its three-into-one exhaust system, pleasantly fills your ears, and the pleasure certainly doesn t end there. Pull in the clutch, put it in gear and when you open up the throttle for the first time, you ll be saying to yourself, holy crap! I did. The FZ-09 springs to life as soon as you crack the throttle; it just wants to go. It has tons of torque, it s downright fast, and it will have you blowing through almost any posted speed limit in an instant if you re not paying attention. (Yamaha claims 115 horsepower and 64.5 lb-ft of torque at the crank.) Again, the FZ-09 is just plain fast, but it s the first half of the powerband that is most entertaining - especially if you re into wheelies. This is certainly the bike for that. Switch into A Mode, via a small button on the right handlebar, which emphasizes the 09 s already impressive bottom-end performance and, take it from me, you better have a good grip on the handlebars.
