[motorcycle.com] - CARB Documents Reveal Two Yamaha FJ-09 Models
The California Air Resources Board today released executive orders on two Yamaha models: the FJ09FCGY and FJ09FCR. Both to be based on the current FZ-09 engine and chassis (MT-09 in Europe). In March of*this year, MO’s resident sleuth, Dennis Chung, revealed Yamaha filed a trademark application for the FJ09 name. Then in August, Yamaha filed a trademark for the design of a new adventure-touring model which appears to be an FZ-09 with a headlight fairing, and windscreen, as seen in the photo above. Although*details at this moment are scarce, it’s a safe bet that one of the two model designations will be used for this adventure-touring model. We imagine the final version*will retain the 17-inch wheels seen here, while having provisions for luggage. It may even share features with Yamaha’s sport-touring*rig, the FJR1300, and come with options like cruise control and electronic suspension. As for the second model designation, our best guess is*a half-faired pseudo sport-tourer, perhaps vaguely similar in execution to the old FJ1000 or FJ600. If Yamaha does go this route and bring back a classic model designation for a new bike, it will get instant name recognition from fans of the old FJ-series. Meanwhile, Yamaha will simultaneously expand the model platforms for its 847cc three-cylinder*from one bike to three. Considering one of the FZ-09′s major selling points is its affordability, we would expect the FJ09 series of models to also undercut their competition in the price wars.* More details to come as they’re announced.
