Congrats USCGMAC! I looked at the FZ-09 before drifting to the CB. Same engine and very similar to the XSR from what I understand. I found the bike at little too squirrely for my present experience and ability. (I will have had my license for a year on May 10.) The engine and the power was beautiful, but it was just a bit too much bike for me. I am finding the CB almost as good, but it keeps it's front wheel down and just feels smoother and more manageable. I'm sure with the extra power and lighter weight You'd leave our CB's behind on the twisties...Enjoy!
