OSUFZ1 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Mine is 2004. Love the thing. I have a friend with a 2005 with top/side hard Givi bags. He is moving and doesn't want to fuss with moving the bike. So I am looking to sell mine and turn around and buy his. I'll post up my sale once I meet the 30 day/30 post requirement.

OSUFZ1 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Wanna fill us in on your history of bikes? What'd you start on?What do you wish you still had?What made the FZ1 appealing to you andare you as happy with it as you hoped youwould be? .Learned to ride on a Yamaha YZ80 as a kid. Got the moped at 14 Bought a Yamaha 750 street bike out of college.Looking for something with power, handling and friendly ergos I bought the FZ1 in 2005 brand new from Lancaster Sport Cycles. I love the bike. Sport bike fun with all day comfort.39K miles on the bike and never had an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) First Generation (2001-2005) FZ1 is a fantastic motorcycle. Yamaha hit the mark with comfort and performance. Its perfectly happy touring, dragging knee, taking to the strip, or just commuting. It does everything well and is as smooth as any I4 out there.Thought I wanted a Ninja 1000, but after living with both for the first half of the riding season, I enjoyed getting on the fizzer more than the Ninja 1000. Don't get me wrong the Ninja is a great motorcycle, it just did not hit the mark as well as the FZ1.
