ANOTHER ADDITION TO THE FZ FAMILY COMING!
Y
amaha's all conquering FZ fam-
ily looks like it's set to receive
another member, with Yamaha Europe
releasing a new teaser video in the
same Dark Side of Japan series on
YouTube.
There's no official word as to
what the machine may be, however,
Yamaha U.S. has already commis-
sioned the awesome FZ-07 flat track
custom machine and Roland Sands
has done his own flat track-style
FZ-09 as part of the second install-
ment in the Faster Sons series. Watch
it at https://www.youtube.com/

The original Faster Sons project saw famed
custom builder Shinya Kimura's FZ-07 build even-
tually spawn the XSR700, a bike we reviewed in
the previous issue of Cycle News.
What will the new machine be? A flat tracker?
A sportbike? Your guess is as good as ours, and
like us, you'll have to wait until November 21 for
the answer.
Here's the teaser video for the new FZ ma-
chine.

CB500F
TEASER
A
nother frustratingly dark
teaser image has been
released by Honda, this time
for the CB500F naked bike.
Honda has released no
other details on the machine,
however, it's doubtful the little
500 twin will be anything oth-
er than a cosmetic makeover.
More will be known when the
machine is released at the
upcoming EICMA Show in Mi-
lan on November 17. CN
Honda isn't revealing much info on its new CB500F.
