Anyone can feedback me more on FZ1000, what is e bike top speed, is e engine powerful, is e bike problematic.

not trying to be a cold blanket or whatever you call it, but then if you are interested in the top speed whatsoever, then you should be look looking at the tuned brother of the fazer, which is R1.... dun mind me cos i am very direct with my words....

 

Problematic a not depends on your riding style and how you take care of it... so far so good.

 

the engine is powerful enough for me, in my opinion...

actually most important is how u going to use the bike, and wether u like the "look" or no... But can say this is really a good bike, even I just riding Fazer600, also very happy already . Top speed ah...enough to let u feel ur open face helmet going to fly alway...come to joint he gathering at Friday night, can see n touch by urself~

hey bro...

 

i used to ride a gixxer 400.likeed the ground clearance, speed and riding position... but cause it a old bike problems arise once in afew months..

 

once i changed to the fazer,i enjoyed every day of my biking... going to be a month already.. throttle response is sensitive whenver u need the power just twist it and the rev meter will just shoot up just like opposing gravity,,, ha ha...

 

till now i would give my beloved fazer a 98/100... minus 2 pts cause rear view mirror too wide.. ke ke

 

anybody wanna add on? cheers!!!

Hi all,

Did see a red fazer at Lee Garden , Hatyai. I just returned from Hatyai yesterday. Together with 16 bikes such as Blacbird, R1, ST11, Cbr954, FJR........ Such a long fast ride with speed 180-235 km/hr. Heavy rain on the way back.

Satisfied with my fz1. Good fight with other bikes. But losing on cornering 180km/hr at Gurun with other full fairing bikes. In terms of catching up, R1 is damn too fast picking up speed.

Pirelli diablo corsa tyres simply great. On dry road while overtaking , at 210km/hr , the tyres still slip on white lines. Almost ends up hitting the steel divider (overshot) at Gurun while cornering . Thanks to god and good tyre grip. On wet roads (heavy rain) , good grip on acceration. No fear of skidding.

Overall, very satisfied with the capabilities of fz1. Excellent brakes.

To those who needs more speed and much better cornering bikes , than get a sport bike. FZ1 is more than good enough for me.

They do setting for bikes.

Mainly is sports bikers (Hardcore type).

Most of the ohlins products in the market

are from them.

But the price wise have to think twice..

 

Cheers

I just finished doing up my suspension from Bikelab. I revalved the forks and changed the springs for the front and changed the rear shock altogether. Cost $2600. Just a ride back home shows a great change in handling. Now can't wait to go for the Mersing ride to really push the bike hard.

 

Ride fast but safe.

Yeah, Penske two way adjustment shocks. Way too good for an average rider like me. But since I intend to keep the bike for another 4 yrs or so, I think it will be a worthwhile investment.
