I have mixed feelings about this, very busy looking
I have. Fairings and wind protection is not the only thing riding is all about, if that was the case I would buy a goldwing.
Riding a naked bike is a completely different experience than a super or sport bike$.I also didn't get it a couple of years ago but now I understand.

Big insurance difference between Z1000 & Ninja 1000. When I was looking, my insurance company quoted the Z1000 a couple hundred more than my old V-Strom 650. She said "I don't know anything about motorcycles but a Ninja 1000 is a super sport, and we don't insure super sports". I said that she was right, she doesn't know anything about motorcycles.
With Kawi, the prefix they put on their fairing bikes tends to get them lumped in the same category. I'm not sure how it would be with Yamaha.

good to know, thanks.
im going to get a quote from wawanessa on my old 2007 sportster to compare it to what they charge now then get quotes on the naked bikes im looking at and see how it goes.
i use to pay 527 per year on the 883 sportster....shoulda kept it, loved the nike and its style when i was done with it but it was killing my back....surprisingly a SS is extremely comfortable to me.....weird back injury from almost 10 years ago.
I'm in LOVE with what they did with my beloved FZ-09 though. I may sell mine to get my hands on this little beauty
Mmmmmmm...... Very Nice. It reminds me of something that Roberts should be riding around a half mile track.
FWIW TD/MM did not consider the Ninja 1000 a supersport the last time I quoted it

Funny. They told my friend it was when they quoted him on it.
Same here .... going to pull trigger on Ninja 1000. Or so I thought, I believe this bike should be considered the same category/risk as the Kawi through insurance eyes.
??
I was quoted on both, Ninja 1000 and Z1000 )2016's.... Z model was $200.00 more per year
Update: these will be available in the summer (June-July 2016) as a 2017 model. The euro spec model will be at the show in Feb and we will know the colours and pricing in April - May sometime.
Features: ABS, cruise control, traction control, slipper clutch, electronic steering damper, and probably more to come...
Turns out, it is based of the current model R1S engine with some small changes (no details yet, sorry).

AD Koncepts fixed the front end of the MT 10. I'd have a pre order right now if Yamaha did this in the first place!
That is one mean handsome motorbike, looks like Mike Tyson with hide fade. Would like to be seen on. #nohomo

No, for fit and form I'm sure a demo ride would be fine, but there is no way to really explore a machine like this in a controlled demo.
Looks like an FZ09 on Roids
