    I put 115,000 miles on an exact same bike. Same Yosh pipe, same color, same frame sliders.. Engine locked up at 115k miles. I found a silver/black one with 14k miles and moved all my mods to the new bike. At 64 years old it may be my last FZ1..

    I have this same exact bike. 80k miles on the odo, stone reliable, smooth, comfortable, fast as you could want to go. I’ve had zero issues with this bike…hoping to get to 100,000 miles. A lot of the newer bikes are so much smaller (ergonomically)…which is why I’ll hold onto this one. You’re guaranteed a true nomadic experience because everywhere you go you’ll be shunned by sportbikes, cruisers, BMW guys (they look down on us all), gold wingers, Ducatisti…pretty much every other sub set of riders!

    I have a 2001 same color. Absolute beast. Ivans jet kit, racetech fork internals and s1000rr rear shock upgrade. And a gearing change. Total wheelie machine. Great for tall riders. Lots of room and comfort. Keeps up with modern super sports no problem. Well, at least to 150 lol.

    I had an '02 from '04 to '07.....sold it and left the street riding and went back to dirt and stayed there until about 2010. Sold the dirt bike and was bikeless for about 13 years until hitting the pavement again in Dec/22 with an FJR. In March/23 I traded that rocket powered locomotive for a much lighter VStrom 650 and had a blast until selling it a few weeks ago....and replaced that with an '05 FZ1.....1st gen....right after sitting on it I quickly remembered how comfortable it is.....and it'll fly. Can't wait for better weather.

    this is my former bike. I traded it in for a new GASGAS. She was kept in a garage for 5 years while i owned it, I used top notch wax and plastic protection. Amazing bike will dust 600s no problem

    I just sold an 05 at the end of last year. It is a fantastic bike that has excellent mid range power. Difficult to find plastics for and there were a few other parts that took me some time to track down. Seems all the parts are in the UK. If you were to buy a first gen, which I personally recommend over the second gen with their stator issues and such. Overall good fun bike sits comfortably and can keep up with most anything

    Kind of wondered why you guys never showcased too many bikes from the FZ lineup. I'd assume its because they are extremely well designed the owners tend to hold onto them for the long term haha. Every now and then I'll see one in my area for sale and the odometers are always pushin high numbers like 40-50k range with hiccups from the engine.

      @thomasblake7046 Год назад

      ​@@brandonvaccaro2960I agree. The frame is better and fuel injection is nice but there were some issues. Still reliable for the most part. Much more cramped cockpit too. Tougher on taller riders.

      The 2nd gen felt like you were riding dirt bike or supermoto, whereas the first generation (2001 to 2005) felt like you were riding a real sport touring motorcycle.

    • @billyruben116
      @billyruben116 10 месяцев назад

      I believe they are supposed to go 152 mph on the top end, but most people add a tooth to the rear sprocket and a jet kit to the carbs. The added tooth will limit the top end to around 147 mph and add even more torque to this already very very quick and torque heavy motorcycle. Mine was going 0 to 100 mph in 5.5 seconds with an extra rear tooth, and Akapovic pipe, and jet kit on the carbs.
