2009 Yamaha FZR Waverunner series review and specification

Yamaha just released the new series waverunner FZR series a more-aggressive hull than the mainstream FX series. The surface is shorter, and full-length lifting strakes improve top speed. A dihedral keel shape is reminiscent of the former GP series and aimed at enhancing the craft's cornering abilities. A large pump inlet gives the craft a better bite on the water to enhance acceleration. It's the chine shape, however, that gives the craft its ultimate handling appeal. Chines softly angle inward, giving the craft a fun, lean-in riding style.
