2015 Yamaha FJ-09 Debuts At 2014 EICMA

The 2014 EICMA motorcycle expo has
given riders from across the world a look at the newest bikes for
2015 and another one added to list was the 2015 Yamaha FJ-09,
Motocycle.com reported.
While it goes by the MT-09 Tracer in Europe, the newest
sport-touring motorcycle was officially announced at EICMA in
Milan. The Yamaha motorcycle is
designed with layered fairing to provide more protection from the
wind and increase its aerodynamic ride without creating too much
wind noise, the source reported.
Additionally, the wind screen is adjustable at three different
heights to give all different-sized riders a chance to limit wind
noise while riding. The seat is adjustable as well, which can reach
heights from 33.3 inches to 33.9 inches off the ground. The
handlebars are adjustable within a 10mm range.
At the EICMA event, most of the attention given to Yamaha was
around its
new YZF-R1 sportbike, but the FJ-09 made a splash as well. The
FJ-09 120-degree crankshaft, which the motorcycle manufacturer said
is a cross-plane and an active powerband on the 847cc triple
engine, Cycle World reported.
Yamaha claims the bike has 113 horsepower at 10,000 rpm and 64.5
pound-feet of torque at 8,500 rpm. The motorcycle has three
variable ride modes that can give riders a different experience in
each mode. The bike also comes with a switchable traction control
system.
The FJ-09 has a large multi-function dot matrix display that has
two different screens. One shows the positioned gear, odometer,
trip meter and fuel consumption, while the other screen is larger
and shows the speedometer and tachometer.
Bigger Tank And Newly Redesigned Saddle

Some of the other details include a
12-volt power outlet for a GPS or other electronic device, the
source reported. The FJ-09 has LED lighting and a new increased
fuel tank capacity of 4.8 gallons, which is 1.1 gallons more than
the Yamaha
FZ-09 model it is based on. The passenger seat has also been
redesigned to give those in the back a more comfortable ride.
The bike comes with side bags, a newly customizable tail
windscreen, a top case, handlebar grip heaters and a reinvented and
larger saddle design. The motorcycle will have two different color
schemes with Matte Gray or Candy Red. The FJ-09 has a starting
price of $10,490.
