Fantastic Bike.Got the bike new in January.A credit to Yamaha, spot on!Went to France in March no problem loaded and 2up.Just rode solo from Plymouth to Split Croatia, non stop 1,500miles in 30 hours.You could knock four hours off for heavy rain and spray that forced me to stop in Austria.Toured Bosnia,Mostar valley, Sarajevo etc, AWSOME!!If you like this bike and are thinking of owning it, say no more.

If tuned correctly (very easy to do), can easily keep up with if not outdo the latest so called superbikes. This years Supersport 1000's are around 205kg and boasting 180-185 bhp. Well after a full exhaust system, PCIII, Airbox mod and a decent map on the PCIII my 06 FZ1 is kicking out about 155 rwbhp or 180-185 at the crank. So theoretically it has better power to weight ratio than the latest sport thou's especially after my 8kg weight reduction. Off the line my mate on his 06 blade cant get away from me. Handling is amazing, without even customising the suspension i can get pegs down, knees down or even both at the same time with ease and i've only been riding on the country roads for fun for 2 months. (45,000 miles commuting history). Stunning bike but in my opinion HAS to have at least SOME basic mods to make it a proper contender, mods make a monster difference to this bike. Like chalk and cheese. If you want help modding or even want to talk about this bike feel free to email me on dave_from_mars@yahoo.com
