I took another ride on an FZ-09 yesterday at my local dealer. He told me to take it for as long as I wanted. I brought it back with 87 more miles on it. Needs a better suspension. I like the weight, but it is small at 6'2" and 240, I could almost make it wheelie just by moving back on the seat or sitting full upright in the wind blast. She wallerd around and bottomed out pretty bad in the curves. Like the reviews say, all the development went in the engine, but with my size, the N1k works better although both could use better suspensions. If you weigh a buck fifty, the FZ-09 would be a nice start.
