No More FZ's?

Recommended Posts

I think the article was confusing

When you think about it the Fz model has refered to a different type of bike for quite a while. The MT logo fits the bike better. I was quite surprised when they used the FZ title in the USA. I think it is the only place it is used ( correct me, if necessary)

MT is the only logical designation for this line of Yamahas. Don't know where the FZ came in as it was an old race rep name.

As I understood it, 'MT' meant nothing in USA whereas 'FZ' did. MT outside US was already established in some countries for torquey bikes. Wouldn't a change now just confuse?

I am looking forward to the revised 07; we should see it around 5 November (EICMA opens in Milan)

Just do it! 

I wish the naming conventions were the same worldwide.

Didn't the US get the MT01 at all?

I believe it never went to US. The MT owners club was/is mainly for MT-01 and that's the source.

If they changed the model to MT over here I wouldn't care, at least the MT means something ("Master of Torque") , although I like to say "monster torque" instead. I have no clue what FZ stood for. 

Beemer

Fuzzy suspension I think...

Then there is the confusion between the USA and Canada. In Canada they are the "F-zed" and USA is "F-zee"

 

But i agree it should be under one name. Why have two different names when they are the same bike. Maybe because

"MT" could mean nothing (MT = empty) in North America?

I wonder if the FZ name doesn't also contribute to the crazy insurance premiums the give these bikes. 

 

Boggles my mind they didn't just call the bike MT worldwide...

I like the MT name...

"Master of Torque" or "Mistress of Torque"...

From a noob perspective. Its better under one name as it would be easier for us to google it around 😉. But i have to thank fellow Fzs In the states, they make most of the how-to with the 07 and makes my life easier. So, thanks FZs 👏

Mt could also stand for Mega Torque. ;D   And, in keeping with the Simpsons theme: 

 

Mega Torque............Excellent.
