What was wrong with the FZ9?
Absolutely nothing after I sorted the following:
-Crap stock suspension, front and rear $1500
-ECU Flash to sort out the snatchy on/off throttle $200
Various odds and ends that I installed to suit the bike to me.
A friend of mine rode it about 3 months back and quite liked it.
I needed a DR650, and he was willing to pay me what I had into it minus a grand.
So he gets a very well sorted bike, and I got to buy my DR650, and had 7 grand left over.
Along came the FZ1 that needed carb work and a handle bar...and now I have a FZ9 for a 1/5th of the cost.
I actually rode both bike back to back today, as Matt came over to do an oil change on the 9.
The 9 is very torque. It's a bike that keeps egging you on, and is hard to ride slow.
The FZ1 is rev hungry, and you have time to think about going fast...I like it.
