"Insurance companies have no Idea This bike is Super Fast".........They do now!!
id bet the companies know...but these are usually ridden by smarter owners not squids....
Damnit
225$ a year
Mmmm, touchy subject (to me at least). Yes - very fast. One of my mates wiped out on one chasing a CBR600 ridden by another mate. Permanent checkout. I didn't think it handled that great and maybe that was a factor. We'll never know.
my gut feel is that this is not the bike you should try to do 10 / 10ths on - eg like you wouldn't care if you were on an RC45 - forgivable handling etc. The engine on this thing overpowers what the bike is safe to do..... I didn't like it....
FZ1 was the first sporty bike I rode after 11 straight years of cruisers. I have a messed up knee and shoulder and the FZ1 was actually more comfortable, oddly enough.
With slight mods they run like the wind, built mine 12 years ago, suspension revamp 2 years ago and 80k miles later it still does its job well
The Suzuki bandit 1200 was also a great sleeper bike with cheap insurance. I had one for a few years and that thing was fast! 104 bhp and massive midrange torque.
19 years old and have an 05 fz1 that I picked up for 3k. No faults with this machine. Violent acceleration and spectacular noise, cannot go wrong with this beast
luke coley how many miles you got on it ?
@@xxCa7astroph3xx 25k on the clock
@@lukecoley1670 Still alive?!
@@benjamincs1 sure am, currently trading off between fz1 sv1000 and a ktm 300exc
@@lukecoley1670 Haha glad to hear it! Ride safe
I have a 2006 FZ1 and it’s awesome, so smooth and powerful. I also had a 2001 1200 Bandit that was a little rougher around the edges but still a sleeper when it came to performance!
Have ridden couple of Yamaha 600 Fazer bikes and loved them. Obviously the 600's don't have the power of a 1000 but they were comfortable and handled really well.
I own the fz-6, bought the bike back in 2009. Realy great bike and fun to ride. I payed 5800€ for the new one.The fz 6 is my moped, i am not like a biker in sense of going on some biker meatings ower the weekend or like racer. Made 65000 km till now with no mechanical isues.
I picked my 2013 FZ1 up on x-mas eve 2021 with 5k miles for $5k and couldn’t be happier!
Had one of these, Yellow fairings with black engine. Loved it!
Performance doesnt matter insurance goes off of how many crash. My mother explained it to me once but I forget but essentially the more people crash them the more they cost to insure
+Kyle does your mom work in insurance ?
Srkcycles She did very recently retired. I'm not totally sure everything she did with it I've been out the house for a while.
The tables are based on the amount of crashes and also the amount needed to fix the bikes. The reason that insurance is so expensive for the superbikes is HEY, they are involved in more crashes and more expense
Kinda weird cause in my area its cheaper to insure a newer triumph daytona then it is to insure an older gsxr 600 35 a month for the daytona 675R and 50-60 a month for the gsxr
Hell a Ducati 999 costs 30$ a month 🤔
Before someone says "well no one rides them often"
Actuually most the european bikes for sale used have around 20-40k miles and its hard to find a euro bike with under 20k miles
However Harleys and japanese bikes are constantly under 10k miles
I've had a few bikes over the past 5 years but I totally fell in love with these. From a Ninja 500r, to a ZX6R, to a 07 1000rr (way to small) then to an 03 FZ1 had me buy a 2014 FZ1 in a matter of a month. So comfortable and so much power.
Love mine. Plenty of power and handles pretty amazingly. Bought it for a steal and fixed it up. Just wish i had the OEM bars or something similar instead of the stunt bars the previous owner put on it.
It is a nice bike alright, don't forget though, the Suzuki 1200 Bandit was around like 10 years before it, in my mind the first sleeper hooligan bike. Credit where credit's due :)
Cheers!
HerrBlackwood..........Bandit 1200 came out in 1996, Fazer 1000 introduced in 2000
bandit also was a lot slower
Bandit 1250S is the most beasty of any bike. It has like 100 ft lbs of torque at 4500 rpms. Or something crazy like that. It's one of the most beasty of any inline 4 cylinders ever made in a production bike, in terms of low end torque. It's the new liquid cooled Bandit, with about 109 horsepower. I'm guessing, the Bandit is WAY more fun to drive than the Fazer, because people complain about the Fazer being low on torque. The problem is, the front end on the Bandit doesn't look nearly as good as the Yamaha. I wish Yamaha would have put a 1250cc engine on the FZ1, and made it have 100 ft lbs of torque.
@@Nick-dz4ml stock they came very choked up. An exhaust and jet kit yields around a 20hp increase!
@@Nick-dz4ml still did the quarter in the high 10s low 11s and can be built the crap out of.
I love my 05 fz1. Favorite bike I've ridden so far.
Don't even have to watch the video to know that bike is beast. My go to mechanic has one and it's his daily and I can't blame him as the fz1 and fz6 are fine and comfy.
I'd like to find a burgundy 3rd Gen. I liked the frame change and they really refined it. Great bike. Later European version got a naked version.
A proud owner of one of these. Great fast bike
just picked up an 05,pretty peppy bike! the power is there
I have an 02 and it's a blast to ride! My first bike that I learned to ride on.
Owner of '03 Fz1 , greeeeeeat bike!!!
This bike is the Shit, try me the it's not a FZR. The FZ1 will take the R right off your ass! THE ONE. j.c.
I love these FZ1 bikes. My 05 FZ1, blacked out motor, nice, is comfy,powerful AND cheap to insure. When asked the engine size I told them is wasn't a litre bike, only 997 or 988 CC's lol. My insurance was cheap! I rode from Hood River Oregon to Stage Coach Nevada in a day, 600 miles. While hella tired I made it fine. I had the carbs rejetted, a K&N air filter, Yoshimura exhaust and regeared it. Fast and fun!
Reminds me of my old Suzuki Bandit (600) from the 90's. It was a sweet bike, extremely comfortable, and just plain fun to ride. I love naked standards.
i love bandit 600
The fz1 is more comparable to the bandit 1200 though
Prov 3:5 - awesome man, one of my favorites and just what I needed to hear today. Glad I finally came across a vid that had it. Safe riding and clear skies to my brothers and sisters - Num 6:24-26 to all!
Similar in some ways to my bike, a'97 Blackbird. Both great bikes!
I agree, I bought one after a bad crash on my Blackbird (Goddamn crop dust!). Very similar in many ways.
Great video! Especially the verse you read at the start. Great idea.
I've got one of these and it's awesome! Comfortable and pretty fast.
*Totally* inconspicuous cut around that interstate merge.
;)
I had one in Thailand and then newer one in Dallas. The 03 like this would do 156mph by GPS. That put ride from Chaing Ma I to Bangkok to 4 hours. Great bike
Nice bike, i have an 08 FZ1 with 9k miles,red w/gold wheels, all original., purchased new, its my summer ride, been Great no problems at all n it is smooth n powerful, i can hit 80 on 1st easy! Thanks for the share
I loved my 2003 FZ1, tons of power and handles beautifully. Best of all insurance was $250 a year 😂 that’s $40 more than my Honda 750 Shadow Phantom. Had a lot of fun with the FZ1. 👍👍
How many miles you had on it and any problems with it?
Im looking on a 03 with a little over 50k...anything to look for?
My first bike was a 01' YZF 600R loved loved LOVED!!! That bike! It was a comfortable bike and handle like a dream, and I don't know what the previous owner did to it before I bought it but it was quick!
You know what anything that is classified as a sports Cruiser you get a big break I had a ZRX 1200 r and it's the same engine as the Ninja 1200 big difference that is a sharp bike and would be lots of fun to ride some wheelies have a good one bro always good to see you man👊👊👍👍👍🤙🤙
I like that video a lot, because i have a FZ1 YAMAHA my self, built in 2002, stayed in stock in Holland 4 years as new, and are VERY HAPPY OVNER with 91.000km 16 years later.Almost No Problems.
Frank Larsen/ Denmark
God bless you brother. 😀
Thanks Shawn i also like the WORD OF GOD, everytime you read it.
Love your channel
I bought an 02 a few months ago an love the bike, im 48 an have had 21 bikes. found this one with 16k for $2500, 34 a month for full coverage. I went from Harley to the fz an never looked back. I smile like a little kid after a ride.
This bike is the grandaddy of the MT-10. The FZ6 you mentioned is actually the bike that would eventually become the MT-09.
I have the Yamaha 2003 XJ900S Diversion, Nice bike, Low insurance, 90hp, 62lb-ft torque. My first bike though :P
Nice, I had one before too. I changed it for a Yamaha trx 850. What I really didn't like about the diversion was the suspension.
Great video, thanks
Kind of like when I went from my 98 zx6r to my 03 sv1000s and insurance was almost 1/4 the cost. The sv is every bit as fast as that ninja, but definitely way more torquey off the line.
I have one and it really does have a little something for everybody. It's not gonna keep up with an R1 but it's still a lot of fun in the twisties and a lot more comfortable.
I have an 05 fz6 and love it because it is fuel injected and shares the r6 engine and have converted it to a rallyfighter and bought her for 800$ and only had to buy 2 things to make her run (battery and power relay) all for 160$ and she runs top notch has 98hp and between 50-60 lb-ft torque
I had my ecu flashed, to remove the factory limiter on first and second gear, and recalibrate my speedometer for different sprocket ratios, my 2nd Gen FZ1 is definitely a sleeper
This is one of the most underrated bikes ever...I owned a 2001 R1 and once drove one of these...now I wish I could had bought a FZS 1000 Fazer instead...it would still be my actual ride
No words of wisdom? Enjoyed video. The naked Yamaha 1000 looks great.
Great mirrors. Effective marketing. Nice.
I had a kawi zrx1200s, same cheap insurance. Same motor as a zrx1200r but still cheaper and fast lol miss that bike. U ever get those in for sale?
I forgot about these in my quest to complement my grampa bagger silverado s. Thanx
How is the wind protection?
Great review dude 👏🏻👍🏻
I rode a second gen FZ1 for years. I bought it with 3.5K and sold it with over 55K on the meter. The engine is a R1 engine so technically it's a liter bike but the actual CC on the engine is 998. So when you inform your insurance what the size is they dont ding you for having a 1000 CC engine. I hooked mine up with all kinds of upgrades and it was super cheap to maintain and such a smooth comfortable ride. I ride a BMW now but I do miss that bike.
I bought a mint silver 2005 a few years ago. Fastest bike I’ve owned by far, and was comfortable for me being a big and tall guy. I ended up selling it because I added a Honda ST 1300 to the lineup and the FZ sat too much after.
I bought a 1984 Honda Magna for $700 pretty good steal😎
i bought one of thease last fall,cant wait to ride, i d like hidhway pegs and maybe bags ? where to buy after market ?
I had to double take when my insurance company gave me the rate for my FZ6. I've had it 7 years and I've never paid more than about $180/year for comprehensive. It's down to $140 now.
I did the same thing. I had my fz6 for a year, sold it for a gen 1 and my monthly payment went down 5 bucks.
My 1986 Yamaha xt600 cost $58 a year for insurance 💪😎 and I just put the Raptor 660 carb on it and man that thing screams it's like scary fast, torque monster front wheel don't want to stay on the ground 💪
My cb650f is no FZ1, WHICH I WANT BADLY, but $36.00 per month is not bad for a super fun bike to ride. Maybe an FZ1 in the future?,,,
I have the 2005....its a Monster... and an Angel...Love this bike!!!
It's got the original R1 motor in it. What's not to like?
So is the 2nd generation Fazer not as good, because it has the shorter stroke "cross plane" engine with even less torque? And the horrible "snatchy" snatch snatch EFI.
The FZ1 was my very first street bike and boy let me tell you, it was a hell of a bike. Now I have a 97 VMAX and still thinking about my FZ1. The FZ1 is definitely a felony kind of bike. hahahahha
Did a brief search. Best I see is an '08 with 8500 miles at $5000 obo. '13 with 10K miles at $6500 obo. In the $3-3.5 range, I saw earlier models (2004), but they have 25K miles plus. I've sen some with 50K miles, so I know they last. But for what these are, these aren't bad prices at all. May consider this as my next bike. I'm into best for the price bikes and good insurance premiums.
i brought a 2005 model and added it to my isurance policy for a Bandit 1200 for £44 with six months left on my policy, what i thought was good. Then found out £40 was admin fees.
It is a fantastic bike cant fault it. My misses doesnt like climing on the back prefers the bandit says it is too high for her at only 5'2".
it sounds louder than mine have you opened the exup valve? i have put a motad venom on it at the mo, it did have a delkovic 350mm on for a while but didnt look right and a remus viper
that was quiter than std.
I’ve got a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R and it’s a sleeper bike too. Plenty of power and comfortable just like the FZ1 but just a more retro style to it. The ZRX has. ZX11 Ninja engine bored to 1164cc and called a 1200. People on super sport bikes try and smoke me and I catch right up to them . Insurance is cheap too. My ZRX1200R has 48,000 and still running strong.
I have a Fazer 1000 but want a ZRX to keep it company, I love the styling!
@@kneeslider47 I sold my gorgeous 2002 ZRX1200 abut a year ago as I needed the money to put into some stocks. Owned the bike since about 2008, bought it off a friend in the USA, and over the years really brought it up to a high standard with a full Akra titanium exhaust, added cool looking pods and jet kit. Big loss in weight and HP increase. Tuned the suspension and did a lot of custom touch ups to it. Sold it for pretty big money even though it had 52k miles on it. Was in mint condition and best colours ( 2002 ). I am currently on my 4th Fazer 1000 first Gen and love them too.
I have a 2003 FZ1 and among other bikes, I also have a 2013 Ducati Diavel AMG. If I could only keep one of these two it would be the FZ1 hands down, no hesitation. About as perfect a bike as I have ever owned or ridden.
And it doesn't look like an insect that survived a nuclear attack.
Such bike would be triumph street triple
One of my close friends passed away a little over a year ago on one of these. It really is a great bike. He had risers and an aftermarket seat. Still one of the most comfortable bikes I've ever rode. Fun fact, the engine is a retuned R1. I remember letting off in 5th and I was doing 150. We took it down dirt paths to campsites. Hell, he even ran it through a few mud puddles. It really will do everything you ask it too.
+Razor7071 I’m sorry to hear that about your friend
I appreciate it. Unfortunately that is the risk you take when your throttle hand only knows wide open. Stay safe and keep at least one rubber down.
I just got an insurance quote for one of these. It’s only $150 more a year than my GS500F for the same coverage!
This bike is similar to the Honda CB900F 919, but more horsepower .. had the Honda for a while and loved that bike.
I got 2007 fz1n and I love it 👍🏼👌🏼
I have 2 of these. Awesome bikes. Fast and comfortable to ride.
Saw an article about one of these hitting 200,000 miles!
Not uncommon for japanese bikes.
Not uncommon actually, and not just the FZ but all the Japanese bikes now have great longevity with the engines. I read about a Suzuki V-strom with nearly 200k on it. Quite impressive really. My old Harley sportster made it to 70k before it was smoking and needed a top-end rebuild. I guess that's decent for an old air-cooled engine though.
I have a FZS 600 Fazer here in the UK with 104,000 miles on the clock. These things are pretty much bullet proof!! Only downside is the crappy tab washer holding the front sprocket nut in place. As long you keep a regular check on them though, you’re fine.
I know the lady that has the FZ1 that has in excess of 260,000 miles on it so far. Nothing has been done to it but scheduled maintenance. They are outstanding motorcycles.
LOVE these bikes'''
YEPPERS. Bikes are like Guns in that looks don't matter. Nice "SHOOTER" you got there Shawn.
6:45 - Yeah, we know what happened there :)
Used to have one, did you sell it yet? What's the price??
Yeah it's a badass bike. Front end wants to fly up all day. The pinnacle of a carbureted bike. I got 45mpg on mine. Most people put hard luggage on them and taller windscreens. A ton lighter than an FJR. STELLAR brakes too. And look close - fully adjustable front forks! This was the track day bike of that era.
Adjustable for rebound only
Change out the sprockets and the fz bikes wake up a bit. The downside to them is and has always been the weight and non-adjustable suspension. 🙃 still very fun machines. I hit a deer this year and my fz8 went right through it. 😬. I barely nicked a deer while riding my ZX 10 and the plastics friggin exploded. 👍👍
Looks almost exactly like my Bandit 600S!
Less than 3500?! I got my 03 FZ1 in mint condition with less than 20k miles a few months ago for 2200
So he was right!
Ditto 01' fz¹ 2500$..then fender bender paid me 1500$ with little damage...love the bike but I'd like a little more gogo. R1m is the dream
Are you able to tell me the name of the exhaust on this bike??
Love the channel. How many tickets do you get per month?.... The local police must be on to you. Keep rockin’ the scripture, something I do before every ride too.
If I was American I would look this Inc to ask for a job in, just for the pleasure to see all those pretty bikes there.
Feel like everyone forgets about the fz8 for bang 4 buck
50k-80k miles? Those are rookie numbers. 130k on my 2003 FZ1.
I'm looking on a 03 with over 50k...anything to look for? problems etc?
@@sachsgs2509 None that I am aware of for a 2003. I've just kept up with the normal maintenance schedule and my bike is still pretty solid. All engine parts are original (minus the regular maintenance items like spark plugs), with no signs of issues.
@@Septantrionalis thank you very much!!
How many miles before you replaced the clutch?
@@sachsgs2509 I didn't. I still have the original clutch. :D Keep in mind that most of my miles are Interstate and I don't wheelie the bike, so that might help...
Great review this video was one of the final decision makers to me buying a 2001 fz1 the same color little over a year ago. Absolutely love the bike checkout of my channel for some dope vids of it!
You can get them for a grand in the UK
If you like speed, you can't go faster, cheaper
Maybe it’s all about where you live but Craigslist is full of super sports bikes in my area that are in decent shape for $3500 and under.
The original street fighter is the Suzuki Bandit. Bam.
Ever heard of a z900?
Alton Irwin yes, but there were no such things as street fighter back then
My wife's '01 was a wheelie monster.
I got an 02 fz1 like this and they are def sleepers. It's got the 1999 r1 engine in it with some slight differences like gearing and bore. Got mine with 32k miles for 1800 and Its got 35k on it now 4 months later, and I couldn't be happier with it. If you've got the opportunity to get one of these go for it, they are $120 a year on insurance :p I'm 20yo too so this bike is jesus for me.
The styling of the bike is perfect in my eyes, I wouldn't change a thing.
I just bought one today. I love it
Another sleeper so to speak is an FJR 1300. Super sport looks but good for touring too. I got my ‘05 for $3k with 20k miles on the clock.
kemnik1 that’s no sleeper in the slightest...at 630lbs ... FZ1 would leave you like you’re standing still...
My fatass needs to lose some weight, but my bike struggles with pulling from 600s until higher speeds
Insurance company here. Many things are calculated into an insurance premium and rates. First and foremost, you're driving habits (tickets, accidents, etc.). That part of the rate is pretty standard no matter what you ride/drive because we're insuring you against hurting someone else. Next part is the actual vehicle/motorcycle you're driving. Propensity to be stolen, crash parts, cost, demographic of a partuclar bike's rider style, etc. all figure into the rate. Typically, you don't see squids with mohawk helmets on Fz1's. They are on the Gixxers, CBRs, Zx's Busa's, etc. Also, rarity does come into play. Just like it's baby brother the Fz6, the Fz1 rider typically isn't a new rider, has years of experience, and is a more mature rider than the supersport counterparts. Finally, just the overall propensity of a bike to be damaged in a crash. Fairings are god awful expensive and anything with a fairing is going to be more expensive to insure than it's naked counterpart. Heck, one of my previous bikes a Burgman 650 cost more to insure than my Fz6 did even though the Fz was a rocket compared to it. Reason being is all that plastic would be ruined in a tipover accident whereas on a Fz6, you might get a few scratches on the pegs and maybe a blinker assembly.
Bottom line, we know how fast a bike is. What we care about however, is how that speed is being used and who's straddling it.
indeed this bike is a true love.....
I have an fz6 with some work done to it and absolutely walk 600 super sports and even some liter bikes at a fraction of the price insurance wise and buying wise love my fz
Full exhaust and SISF tune on a Concours 14 is the ultimate sleeper. FZ1 was probably the best all around bike of the early aughts, they kinda ruined it with the reduced range and racier ergos of the second gen.
These have about 125hp stock at the rear wheel
I like to see a review on a 05 kawasaki z750s
Great bike in one word!!!!
Similar things could be said about the honda hornet and suzuki gsr. Sport bikes with a road makeup.
Well they do now so thanks, I own this bike there goes my insurance lmfao 😂🤣
How much are you paying for insurance? I know its based on a LOT of things but it would be nice to know
@@jam8972 5 month later, no response. dude must be embarrassed about his rates.
@@jam8972 i' pay 16 euro a month
Nick ooh sick!
Billy Darley Ik. Or maybe he never saw it. Who knows?
Where I live , insurance is based on cc's .Anything over a 1000 will cost you dearly.
Here in Canada it goes by CC and not horsepower. It cost me more to insure my 2004 Harley Road King than it does my R1.
Dude how is the wind protection can you get out of it.? Where does the wind hit you? On your test ride your helmet was quiet, what kind of helmet and where does the wind hit you..?? I'm asking cuz I'm buying used.
If you fit a taller screen you can tour all week on it. Absolutely fantastic bikes and honestly will do 95% of anything that a sports bike can do, but in much greater comfort
