Just been looking up info on 2015 Yamaha MT09 Tracer in Race Blu. ... I'm gonna need a wrist brace for a few days!

Hmm... Is that whats called an FZ-09 here in the states? That 3 cylinder thing?

At 414 pounds (187kg), its probably like riding a feathered rocket engine.

Think my 6'3" tall skinny ass could fold up small enough to enjoy it?

Yeah the fz09 in states. .. I'm 5'11" and it's comfy.. the new tracer variation has more ride height than the standard one I test rode (yt vid of it) ...

A feathered rocket? ... nawwww. .. more like a JATO with attitude! .. put that engine in "A" mode and twist the throttle quick and you best have leaned forward first! .. it's a explosive little Powerplant!

Janx101

Dang touchscreen. .  On a few fz09 forums in the states there are tall riders like you EJ ... so I reckon you would be fine. .... except for your face muscles... they going to be sore from the Cheshire cat grin... test ride one! .. you'll laugh and laugh!

Janx,
Don't tell anyone else here but my kid got a 2014 Yamaha WR250R Dual-Sport back in April.
A sweet little ride. The thing is bone stock and will do 93 MPH (153kph). <wow!>
That sort of speed from a lil' 250cc was unheard of back in my younger days.

But personally... I like Suzuki cause there cheap, (and I'm broke), so its truly a match made in heaven. :thumb:

I won't tell Pete. .. him a brand snob! :p. ..
Nice 250!

Test ride fz09. .. just for fun. ... but you will be addicted within a mile!

Janx101

..... sigh. ... train home from work. .. some wanker bought some type of weapon on board and threatened someone else... train stooped just short of next station. .. everyone off through front emergency exit. .. cops flooding the train and surrounds. .. change trains. .. moving again. .. why do wankers be wankers?

peteGS

Coz they have no regard for others  :technical:

So glad I don't have to train it any more... storm here on Wednesday afternoon took all the trains out for hours... most people I work with didn't get home until 9pm or so...

Now you watch the 450 break so I have to catch the train  :technical:

1.) I want something new, and fast, and sporty!  I don't care if it's a car, a bike, a fuken jet-ski. 
Hell, I just want a new toy.

2.) Janx, No shortage of wankers here in the states either.  :icon_rolleyes:

3.) Pete.... Not to worry: GS will run forever.

P.S. Looks like cbr got some serious acid-indigestion going on.

Bloody hot EJ, all you need to know  :thumb:

Hungry Jacks = Burger King

Mango Slushie = .... I dunno some frozen mango flavoured drink...

I'll pass on both :D

It was so damn hot yesterday I was sweating eating brekky up on Mt Mee where it's normally about 3 - 4 degrees cooler than down here...

And I so need a new toy too! I know exactly what I want though... but I need to finish fixing this concrete cancer on the back balcony so I can get the shed done... get rid of the little Duc and try to make some $$$... then I can get a Kat  :icon_twisted:

Looks nice Pete. Cool bikes and Normal looking people too.

A bit different than my view here in New Jersey... And yes, its cold here too, about -3C at night.


Just saying.

Yeah just a tad different! I'm fortunate to have some nice twisties so close to home... Depending which direction I travel I can be at the start of some within 10 minutes...

Straya is the BEST place! ... I think there are more "easygoing"  people in general. ... the animals and critters will kill you though! Lol
