Around here, it’s no secret we’re fans of the Yamaha FZ-09 (MT-09 for those reading this outside the U.S.). It’s a great do-it-all motorcycle, and for $7990 it’s a great value, too. Apparently, Mark Toia is well aware of how useful the FZ-09 can be as well.

Toia was extremely impressed with the versatility of the FZ-09 and how easy it was to ride. He says, it “would make a great work bike, stunt bike, race bike, cruise bike… [it’s] actually great for almost anything!” This versatility became the inspiration for the video below, where Toia decided to “build the films idea around those points.” He continues, “I wanted to show the bike actually doing what impressed me so much when I first rode it.”

Do you own a Yamaha FZ-09/MT-09? Tell us what you think of it in the comments section below.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
