There have been a couple of more recent long-term tests of the FZ-09, that disagreed with that assessment. Ari and others have instead come to the conclusion that the issues with the triple (suspension, fuel-mapping, handling), weren't ultimately fixable without spending so much on the bike, that the total cost brings it well past the all-in cost of superior machines. But - at the same time, they are raving over the FJ-09, which has apparently fixed many of the issues with the FZ, meaning that the second generation of the FZ-09 might be almost as impressive a debut as the first one.

Less press about the FZ-07 in general, but it seems to be a bit better-loved out of the gate than its big brother.
