Thanks for your detailed feedback. Just to add, some mag reviews highlight the lack of fairing and proper screen as drawback to Z1000 on the highways. The other one is its riding position, which is apparently less comfortable than for its profile as a streetfighter (???). But I must say it looks a real fierce bike. The FZ1 is also a nice design (to me)... but I guess a bit dated already. :sweat:

yeah man, meantime lets wait till august for the new design, if FZ1 still remains the same, think gonna change brand liao...

think my current fazer going to spoil liao

sunndyday i reserve my bike for u ai mai?

whaha

I used to hate washing my bike. Recently, I tried out a bottle of Autoglym Motorcle Wash (or Clean?) I bought at Giant. Just spray on and rinse/wipe off. Even all the grease and chain oil flung off onto the rims came off... really couldn't believe it. In the past, I try to be smart and use WD40 to try to wipe off, took me more than an hr to wash my bike. Now... BEST... maybe u guys know already, but just to share.

How much for a bottle of Autoglym Motorcycle Wash (or Clean) at Giant?

And how many ml per bottle? Didnt know was that good, might wanna try instead of buying a bottle of degreaser from lab that cost $8(putoline) after every 2-3 washes. Yap, I uses degrease quite alot:cheeky:

[GT Fazer]

I still think that buying a Wave is much cheaper that taking public transport, unless that person only take a (think it's 70cent???) short single bus trip to work & back for 5-6days plus he/she doesnt go other places in his/her free time. Otherwise I had calculated including insurance, road tax, fuel & maintances base on per year & divided down into per mth, it's estimated around the same or cheaper.

I bought quite a long ago, but only tried it this week. I think it's about $19 but it's a big bottle. I only used a few squirts, mainly for rear wheel, and for under and around the engine block where road grime and chain oil build-up is the thickest. Swear I couldn't believe it when I used it, and all the muck just washed right off. I not advertising for Autoglym here, but just very glad I found a good product. I don't know whether there's any long-term effect of the stuff, and maybe there's something equally good, cheaper or better out there, but for me, it's great!

Agree... Wave is a great bike. When I finish going through my wish list of bikes to own... I will finally settle down for a Wave or some scooter.

Introducing the all-new FZ1.

Derived from the R1, the FZ1 packs a huge amount of horsepower (more than 140) and torque into a chassis that handles like a SuperBike yet is comfortable enough to ride all day long.

 

The FZ1 is aimed squarely at the rider who likes Sportsbike performance but prefers more comfortable ergonomics. The FZ1 offers a more traditional upright seating position, yet sacrifices nothing in terms of engine and handling performance. The FZ1 is a real-world street motorcycle that has the performance to back up its road racing heritage.

 

R1-Based Engine

The new FZ1 has been fitted with an engine based on the R1. With redesigned cylinder head, the compact 998cc liquid-cooled beast is fed by four side-draft 37mm carbs (with Throttle Position Sensor) that shoot straight into the five-valve-per-cylinder inline four-cylinder engine. This produces outstanding horsepower along with a big, fat torque curve.

 

Handling the exhaust chores is a 4-into-1 system controlled by Yamaha's Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) that precisely matches the exhaust backpressure with engine RPM to create maximum power. A large SuperBike-style stainless steel muffler provides a mellow yet throaty tone, and it's tucked in to provide good ground clearance.

 

A new, more compact radiator (than the R1) is utilized on the new FZ1, although it will use the same diameter fan as the R1. Coolant lines from the radiator to the carburettors have been added so performance is not affected by weather conditions, providing consistent and predictable throttle response. A steel mesh cover protects the front of the radiator from road debris.

 

Inside the engine of the FZ1 is a new cylinder head designed to work with the new horizontally mounted carburettors. A new crankshaft, 10% heavier than the R1, increases inertial mass, which improves the around-town rideability. The six-speed transmission is outfitted with gear ratios the same as the R1. The clutch is redesigned to reduce weight and provide smooth shifting. Final drive is chain.

 

Chassis

Cradling that horsepower factory is perimeter-style steel tube frame mated to a box section aluminium swingarm that adds up to incredible rigidity and confidence inspiring handling. The swingarm encompasses a new cross-sectional construction that reduces weight and keeps the swingarm flex-free for precise handling.

 

Taking care of the suspension duties are 43mm conventional Kayaba forks and a Kayaba rear shock. Mated to a progressive linkage to provide 65mm of travel in the back, the piggy-back style rear shock is fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound dampening to help fine tune the ride. The front forks provide 140mm of wheel travel and also adjust for preload, compression and rebound dampening. Beefy aluminium triple clamps keeps the front end in line while returning a stable feel to the rider.

 

Newly designed 17" three-spoke wheels are fitted to the FZ1 front and back. Equipped with a 120/70 ZR17 tire up front and a 180/55ZR17 tire in back, the FZ1's rubber has been designed for adaptability to a variety of situations, from city riding to carving canyon back roads.

 

Naked Bike

The FZ1's styling was also heavily influenced by the R1. The aerodynamic front fairing has been designed for a very low drag coefficient and excellent rider wind protection. Retaining the R1's characteristic twin multi-reflector headlights are dual 12V 60/55W bulbs that project a wide beam light while creating that unmistakable R1 cat-eye profile. Body mounted mirrors are used to provide good rear visibility.

 

Most noted in the new FZ1's appearance is the lack of full bodywork, exposing the compact engine for an ageless sporting look. The engine has been finished with a redesigned aluminium cylinder head cover and the cylinders are coated in a striking silver paint.

 

The seat has been designed with rider comfort in mind and the tail section was crafted after that of the R1. Up front, a new low-rise handlebar is used for excellent steering input and rider comfort.

 

Stopping Power

Mated to all that power and handling prowess are brakes designed to bring this machine to a screeching halt. Borrowed from the R1 are the FZ1s front brakes — four piston one-piece calipers clamping to dual 298mm vented disc rotors, with only the brake pads being slightly different. The front brake lever has five position adjustment that allows the amount of brake feel to be dialled in according to rider preference. A single piston rear caliper squeezes a 267mm vented rotor in the back helping provide serious stopping power.

Engine:

R1-spec one-piece cylinder and crankcase assembly provides tremendous engine rigidity that's lighter and stiffer than two-piece designs.

Compact slant-block engine design uses stacked gearbox shafts to create a low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution.

Lightweight forged pistons feature carburised connecting rods for superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass.

Throttle position sensor monitors throttle position and adjusts ignition timing to ensure maximum muscle across the powerband.

Yamaha's patented Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) monitors engine rpm and adjusts exhaust flow for maximum acceleration.

Specially designed camshaft lubrication system reduces tappet clearances and valve train mechanical noise.

Patented electroplated cylinder bores ensure greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.

R1-spec 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power transfer between gears for maximum acceleration.
