Motor runs smoothly and responds to throttle with authority, great low end and mid-range power. The FZ1 was/is Yamaha's venture into the naked bike category, the motor is based on the mighty R1 sport-bike motor but tamed down a bit for a wider and more linear power-band for street type riding. This taming knocks off a little top end power in exchange for a very smooth, very wide spread of power which goes to the back tire in a completely predictable manner.The bike is equipped as shown with everything from CRG levers, aftermarket grips, bar ends, brake hoses, exhaust, Battery Tender standard connection, adjustable lowering link with adjustable side stand and probably a few items I am missing in the description. We raised the bike back up a bit as it seemed too low to me. That said these are friendly riding and from the factory have a pretty low seat height compared to almost all sport bikes. This is the type of bike offering all day comfort, big power and good looks that is meant to be ridden. Even the highly tuned/stressed versions of this motor used in the Yamaha R1 are typically capable of 70-90k miles without any major issues so this one has a LOT of life in it and due to being cosmetically imperfect it is for sale cheap.There is nothing crazy bad in terms of cosmetics, I tried to show in pictures as accurate as possible the blemishes, please take time to look through all the pics. Fast, fun, easy to ride, comfortable and cheap are a combination not all that common! No salvage history, clean blue Texas title.
