I don't see this as Spyder competition.

No competition for the spyder but it looks like a fill in for that gap between a scooter and a sportbike....Not sure but I would never go there...:sour:

I am guessing an improvement on the Piaggio. Would I want one? The short answer is no. I like that big 1330 three cylinder, and I have learned to take on the corners and twisties on my :spyder2:.

A good option for those who are seeking a non Can-Am.

It's ugly, look at that Toucan Sam nose on that thing.

This thing will be a blast! A normal fz09 runs to 60 in under 3 seconds and weighs under 400lbs. The 850 triple puts out about 105hp/60ftlbs. Add maybe another 30lbs for the additional front wheel. Its still going to be very fast, maybe even quicker since it won't be as wheelie prone! The grip with the additional front is going to be very good as well.
Then take into account all of the aftermarket go fast goodies and its a complete game changer!

I'm expecting it to run circles around any Spyder. Should be pretty neat to see in person!

Probably not, but if I get the chance I'll take one for a spin! It is neat!
