That's the Rally Edition, right? Looks so freaking nice

Until today I did not know such a thing existed, but now I want it. Really nice.

Any place in particular, or just through Yamaha type channels?

That is a great shot. Very creative.

Do you have any more pics of that Rally Edition?

We unfortunately do not get that model here in the US (not yet anyway).

Get the part numbers for the plastic pieces from a UK dealer, order them, and enjoy the rally edition! They look like just bolt ons.

A Honda dealership located in the United Kingdom.

Yes, but the MT/FZ09 is a Yamaha. Do they have some sort of dealer network agreement or something like that across the pond?

We rolled out a BMW 1200 GS on it before, so I knew it was trustable for the MT-09!

Awesome shot could've been a tiny bit more awesome...same position but wheelie-ing toward the camera!

Dude, that was the plan all along! But we chickened out as you can basically see the end of the jetty in this picture and after it's a steep hill of grass... Didn't wanna wreck the bike, haha.

A huge cloud of smoke coming from the rear wheel would've set it off!

Dat handgaurd. Looks so good in white :( Makes my Black FZ09 look so boring!

Makes it look like a fighter aircraft.

Those handguards are so so sweet. Would buy the bike alone for that fairing setup.

:)

I'd really like to have that brush guard configuration on my fz-07.

Awesome photo! I also love the little flyshield grip shields combo on that bike -- makes it look like a little Transformer!

Haha, yeah, I got the feeling of piloting a small fighter jet with that combo on - pretty sick!

I really don't like the look of the street rally version.

I just think it looks too gaudy. I like a little bit of madness, but I feel like this one is screaming "LOOK AT ME! LOOK HOW CRAZY I LOOK! I'M COOL!"

I love the standard one, but Yamaha dropped the ball on the UK version of the race blue. Can only get it with silver/metallic forks, no option of the gold ones they have on the orange and purple colours. It doesn't look right with silver forks and those sweet blue wheels.

Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!
