This is my next street ride! http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/pr...19/0/home.aspx

I can use my ZX6R for track days and work the highways in style...Forget about the R1/R6 track bias!

heh that eccentric firing order is a nasty looking setup. intakes appear to be in the headlights area. that white/red is sick. now we just gotta see what zuk does.

it looks like a gixxer

DLIT · 09-08-2008, 06:59 PM

The new FZ looks tight as fuck.

BobTheBiker · 09-08-2008, 07:34 PM

near as I can tell the intakes are literally to the outside edge of the headlights. this bike looks like a totally fucking sick beast that will just straight up RIP for street and track use.
do those dual projectors in there kinda remind anyone else of the XB12 firebolt in a way?

The regular FZ is unchanged. The FZR....nahh, don't like it. They went back to the older square swingarm, no undertail exhaust and a smaller rear tire. Not exactly "R" rating in my opinion
