Nicknamed the “LORDS OF THE STREETS“, the FZ’s have found ways to grip the naked motorcycle market and shake it upside down. At first glance, these sport bikes may seem a bit light on the frame but don’t be fooled by the naked looks. Yamaha concentrated on the most important aspects of these speed demons which is performance, rider comfort and power. The FZ09 was Yamaha’s most anticipated release of 2014 and yet two years later, it still continues to surge in popularity due to overall consumer satisfaction. The immediate impressions alone will be close to agility and aggressiveness. Consumers alike can agree that the bike has plenty of torque even in standard drive mode. With a combined quality build, hard to beat price and exceptional performance, the FZ09 never looked so good! Here are some of the specs based on a 2014 FZ09
sportbike we currently have in stock at Ak Motors. 2014 FZ09

Unlike its big brother the FZ09, the FZ07 comfortably positions the rider a bit higher by lowering the seat by 10mm and increasing the bars height by 24mm. The riding position has been said to be of a “casual” feel, which will boost any beginner riders confidence. An important aspect of the FZ07 is it’s ability to give you a fuel efficient rocket (powered by a midsize vertical twin engine) in between your legs. The bike gets 58 miles per gallon and has a total range of about 214 miles. Living in the Bay Area, it is general knowledge of how the real estate market has managed to push San Francisco to the forefront of most expensive places to live in the USA. That’s why the FZ07 is a perfect fit for anyone looking for a speed machine that doesn’t dig a hole in your wallet. The combination of high performance with fuel efficiency is enough to attract even some of the more experienced riders around.
