As with the new-for-2017 Yamaha YZF-R6 (click here for the AIMExpo First Look with video) and the R1, the updated FZ-09 draws heavily on the styling of its big brother, which in this case is the FZ-10. To that end, the FZ-09 gets the full Transformers treatment with a squinting, machinelike face dominated by LED headlights. Shrouds now flank the radiator and the tail section has sharper lines and a cleaner integrated tail light, with the license plate relocated to a dangling arrangement above the rear wheel as on Ducati’s Multistrada. The FZ’s seat and tank appear to be the same, though we know that the saddle now rests 0.2 inches higher off the ground. All told it’s an effective makeover. Whether or not it looks good… we’ll let you be the judge.
