Uprated forks, slipper clutch, led lights and a quick shifter. Not bad, Yamaha. Not bad.

Looks like some nice upgrades. Looks like ABS too? Surprised they left that horrible rear shock. I think it looks better than the FZ-10.

No R6 today.

But in completely unrelated manufacturer news.

 

[mrzuzzo]

Still no ABS for North America? If so, no care!

Looks like the old fz09 mated with the new z1000.

I didn't see anything about the forks, which is a bummer.

But, any bike I buy will likely get cartridges and a new rear shock anyway.

Damn, that looks so ugly now.

But the tag holder, EEEEEWWWWW!!!!!

The 2017 model also gets an uprated 41mm fork, with adjustable compression damping in the left fork, rebound adjustment in the right. Oddly, considering feedback from owners and press, Yamaha appear to have left the rear shock – so easily overwhelmed on the current model – untouched

.

Rear shock stays the same. Forks are adjustable for compression and damping

Correction: they've added compression damping adjustability to the forks

You can see the ABS ring in the pictures. :thumbup

 

[Phanuel]

But will they be an option for the US market? I'd guess no, since we're viewed helmetless heathens to the rest of the world.

Japanese commercials are the best. This is exciting news!
