I picked up a 2015 FZ1 2 months ago that came with a Power Commander and a Yoshimura exhaust and I frickin love it. Gonna put on Michelin Power 5's today 👍👍🍻
.. „smiles for the miles“ ha, ha 😅 fully agree, bought a 2008 FZ 1 Fazer two years ago, low mileage but as German model with ABS .. great bike, but what you didn‘t mention, the riders position with a relatively wide fuel tank, high mounted foot pegs makes every ride a permanent Yoga, a hip and leg stretching session 🤣 and a friendly advise: as a „Yorkshire Man“ please consider filming rides on curvy, small roads in the Yorkshire Dales, in the Peak District, Lake District .. at least as enhoyable as the „Fränkische Schweiz“ north-east Nürberg where I live .. Cheers 🍻
Excellent bikes; bought mine new in 2012 with lots of dealer fitted accessories including akropovic carbon can. Sold it in 2021 and loved every minute of ownership. Seriously quick when wound up and good handling. Still miss it now and would get another any day. Buy a good one and you will love it !
Rob mate thanks, great review!!! I have currently 4 Yams and 2 Hondas and last year I decided to purchase 2 older bikes. So I sold my FJR Ultimate plus my MT10SP and replaced them with a 2013 VFR1200F plus a 2009 FZ1. And guess what?? I enjoy them LOADS cos they are both great bikes with amazing character. Chat soon???
@@mammothmotouk i heard about that, also about the sprocket change! maybe ill buy one next year, i looked at 2 this sommer and they were not in good condition
I love that it's not super torquey down low - great for maintaining control in very slick road conditions. Plus, I enjoy flogging it a bit when I really want to hustle.

Hi Simon, thanks for the comment. Its really appreciated. You have a cracking taste in bikes. Chat soon.
Great video man. Thanks👍
Cracking bike 👍
Great review👍🏻👍🏻
Front sprocket 1 teeth less , improving Push in lowe RPM
i always had a problem with the motor characteristics
nearly nothing until you hit 7k
I hear you. But a good power commander and a remap will sure give her some go!!
