View Full Version : What do think of this bike ?? andythejock01wrx 26 September 2006, 15:54 A guy at work is thinking about buying a Yamaha FZ1 1000cc. What are your thoughts on this bike ? How does it compare to the opposition ? Cheers folks ! Scott W 26 September 2006, 16:01 I think they are nice bikes and I've only ever heard good things about them. I'm sure Screwdriver will be along soon with a gratuitous picture! ;):D Sbradley 26 September 2006, 16:05 Ah, but Screwd's isn't an FZ1. I think that's the new one - bit more focused and nowhere near as sweet out of the box. Needs a Power Commander and some fiddling to get it fuelling nicely. Still a good bike in isolation, just perhaps not as good as it could have been. SB PS it won't stop him running pictures, though ;) simplesteve 26 September 2006, 16:17 http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n239/simplesteve/wheelie.jpg (http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n239/simplesteve/?start=#imgAnch1) They're rather good at these!! :thumb: Pudders69 26 September 2006, 16:33 R1 chassis R1 Brakes R1 engine - detuned for grunt nuff said Looks awesome in black...fuellling is utter ****e apparently.
