Such an ugly bike.... so uglyStreet triple would be my pick
But from your FL choices I would start making a pros/cons list on a spreadsheet. Maybe easier to compare.
FZ 07, FZ 09, or FZ 10?

- Start date
That's a big negative there ghost rider. But if you have people sayin that about your Butthole...

After my test rides, I actually prefer the GSX 1000A over the FZ10. It's a heck of a lot smoother delivery, and felt much lighter!

Just keep the fantasies to yourself from now on.
That's a nice looking machine! I'll have to test ride one of these at the ride day up here. Is there much difference in the seating position or were they identical?
I do like the look of the new FZ 10 though... Getting tough to make a decision on what new bike to get for myself as well.
Got it. Homophobic internet tough guy right here.
I'll be passing through Kingston area this summer doing some sales calls and doing some riding. Any suggestions on what are good areas to check out?

Didn't really notice to be honest. The tank of the Suzuki was thinner though, and the bike just felt more comfortable to ride.
Thanks bro! Keep the hate strong on the Internet. You the real MVP

You must be lonely.
Damn! You found out my secret! My only purpose in life is to go online and get gratification from others. If I don't I fear I'll end up sad, alone and in my parents basement. This is why I try and be liked by all the Internet cool kids. I mean, if they can all love in their mom's basement and be a tough guy. Why can't I do the same, right?
In truth I really look up to you as a mentor, my north star, my sweet baby Jesus if you will. So when you say these mean and hateful things its a deep burn I feel. So much that I find it hard to fall asleep at night.
So why don't we get you a tampon, wait a week and let your hormones calm down and try being way less if a ******.
All love from Barrie. Call me!
Well after some more seat time in the FZ-09 I love it. I've upgraded the suspension, added Ivan's flash and a couple other carry over bits from my last bike. The motor is a gem, full exhaust will be added shortly.
There are a number of rack options for the bike now but I mainly strap a bag on so I went with the Shad arms which are meant to be used with the baseplate from their top box. Just the arms were cheap so I sketched up a top plate to bolt to the arms. The plate has slots so it can be moved back and forth depending on if I have a passenger. It has multiple lashing points and speed holes but it is also drilled and tapped so I can bolt a case to it. I have a few different sized boxes that bolt right up in under a minute.
And my favourite part is the whole thing comes off the bike with 4 easily accessible bolts just in case someone tells me I bought the wrong bike for what I do
Still want to ride and FZ-10 though.

Nice looking, I like the minor add on. I think the mirrors would give a better view than stock. The luggage looks like you'll be able to hold a fair bit inside!

very nice!
Did you get those mirrors somewhere locally?? I want a set of those for my coffee racer
Cheers

Thanks! No, they are Rizoma Reverse Retros and I paid full pop for them a few years back. I think they cost even more now... There are a ton of Chinese fakes that look good on ebay though.
I got mine from Paige at PJ's Parts, which is in the states but great prices, fast usps shipping and killer service.

Oakville Yamaha also carries a lot of Rizoma gear amongst other nice stuff...
