Cypress, CA – June 4, 2015 – Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., today introduced the 2016 FZ-07 and FZ-09, which are the company’s first two models in its 2016 line-up of sportbikes.

The FZ-07 features a 689cc, crossplane-concept, liquid-cooled, inline, twin-cylinder, DOHC, 8-valve engine with fuel injection, which provides outstanding low- to mid-range torque with very linear throttle response. The motorcycle’s wheelbase, seat height, fuel tank width, rake, and other dimensions all work with the qualities of the compact twin-cylinder engine to achieve a sporty, light, and neutral handling character.

The FZ-09’s 847cc, crossplane-concept, liquid-cooled, inline, three-cylinder, fuel-injected engine combines advanced, high-tech components, including YCC-T® and Yamaha D-Mode, to deliver an exciting quick-revving engine character. The motorcycle’s wheelbase, seat height, fuel tank width, rake, and other dimensions provide an upright riding position and a narrow-feeling chassis at the seat/tank junction.

Yamaha offers a complete range of add-ons and accessories for the FZ-07 and FZ-09, including grips, saddlebags and mounts, cowlings, comfort seats, engine guards, seat cowls, and much more.

The 2016 FZ-07 will be available at dealerships beginning in August in two color options–Raven and Matte Silver–and will retail for $6,990.

The 2016 FZ-09 will also be available in Raven, as well as Impact Blue, and will retail for $8,190. Both color options will be available in dealerships beginning in September.
