heard nothing but great reviews about this fz09/mt09

I read that the engine was good, but the suspension is soft and the brakes are a bit weak (rubber lines). But for $7999 you get a lot.

My mate - who just bought one - confirms this.  Braided lines ordered, suspension work planned.

I find it uglier than the Street Triple and that's saying a lot.

Motorcycle Consumer News recently did a comparison between the hyperstrada and the FZ9.  Seems like the suspension really holds the fZ9 back.  The fueling issues with the HS held it back, otherwise in led in almost every other category, except value.
