I tried the Yammy FZ-07 and FZ-09 at VOS this Sunday. Fun bikes, the FZ-09 is an animal, that engine is fantastic. Contrary to all the internet reviews, I did not find the throttle bad at all, in fact it was better than FZ-07 (I know they fixed the map for 2015). Suspension better on the 09 as well, but still crap. I know, I am spoiled by my Daytona. Both bikes felt a bit disconnected, again, maybe I am used to SS. I jumped on my Daytona right after putting the kickstand down on the FZ-09 and the bike was "talking to me"...
I know, I am comparing apples to oranges. Both FZ-07 and FZ-09 are fantastic bikes for the price, I enjoyed the 09 much more, contrary to my expectations...
Yes, they are a Yamaha dealer. The demo was on May 3rd so no, it's not still on. I asked them once if I could take the fz07 for a ride and they declined, saying they do not allow test rides, so they directed me to this demo day, that's how I knew.VOS does demo days? is it still going on

I was hoping to really like the M109R as I dig the looks and would not mind making the switch to a "cruiser" bike for the long haul rides to be that much more comfortable. Unfortunately it didn't do it for me, it was quick off the line, probably faster than my SV. What I really hated is the transmission and how clunky it was, it was not bad in the corners,...
Another props to the dealer and Suzuki for making the experience that much better.
