Europe have a choice of two models of the Yamaha FZ1
The well known stealth machine
http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/p.../FZ1_Fazer.jsp
and now a new version that comes under the heading of "Street"
http://www.yamaha-motor-europe.com/p...street/fz1.jsp
Now the question is which one shall I get???
Forum whore
The blue one.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

The FZ1 is a nice bike and it can make a fair sports-tourer.
Then again, it costs almost half as much again as a Honda Hornet.
I'm prepared to concede that in some ways it may be a slightly better bike than the Hornet but not that much.
The new model looks nice, but I'd be checking all the prices.
Have fun
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
gee wizzz
That is one fucken sexy bike. Sexy to me -upright riding pozzy but sportbike performanceand handling.
hmm I wonder how hard to reverse the "detuning"
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

FZ1, but then Im a naked bike fan and dont like the look of the semi-faired-ness. Why not ride both and decide?

HP at crank is 150
RW is 8 more than the current model at 130
Easiest way to reverse the detune is to replace the exhaust, good for an extra 6+HP in the mid range and top end
BTW which one is the sexy one, belue or the 'street'?
Would love to be able to have both though.

Agreed, but the question is will the blue come to NZ or remain in UK/Europe and maybe Australia.Oh to have the choice, surely both go as fast as eachother??

Still that street looks mighty tempting . . . . . .

I see what all the commotion about the blue is now...that Ocean Depth is most attractive. But is the colour really THAT important?

Having spoken with your wife a couple of times on the odd tour I'd be picking the one that can the MOST luggage cos she ends up carting around most of it.
Not that I can talk. I like the street version , but you may miss the top fairing at times.

Aargh, photos!
The one with the exhaust thats large enough to sleep in if you get stuck in the wop wops.
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
Immature and proud of it.
The question is, why are we getting shafted on FZ1 prices in NZ?
They're not much dearer than a bandit in Oz. But around 6 - 7 grand more here. That moola will make the Bandit a much better bike than a stock Fazer.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.
