Practical and then some...

When someone says a bike is practical, what do most riders instantly think? Boring? Well, here’s a challenge for the cynics; take this practical motorcycle, spend a moment looking and feeling over its lines and angles, then take it for a blast… and see if it doesn’t get the adrenalin pumping.

 The thinking man’s R1, the FZ1 is one of those rare and very special motorcycles that combine stunning performance with real world usability (that P-word). Available in a faired (FZ1S) or naked (FZ1N) guise, its formidable powerplant is a torque-tuned version of the legendary R1 supersports engine, in a superb sports touring package of suspension, ergonomics and geometry. FZ1… practical plus.

FEATURES

   Available in a faired (FZ1S) or naked (FZ1N) guise, FZ1 frequently surprises riders with its level of all-day riding comfort, due to its beautifully balanced road going suspension, brilliant big-ride friendly rider stance, sweet handling and riderresponsive road manners.

    With its gravity cast aluminium main frame and exposed R1-derived engine, the FZ1 is an intriguing sculpture in metal that suggests a sophisticated character… with just a hint of brute force.

   The fracture-split big-ends of the FZ1’s carburised connecting rods create mirror image edge surfaces, allowing them to mate closer together for outstanding strength. The result is a quick-revving engine with excellent high-rpm durability.

    The compact dimensions of the R1-derived engine have provided Yamaha’s engineers a superb platform around which to build an equally neat and compact masterpiece of road going excellence, with optimal front wheel weight bias and mass centralisation.

   Independently damped fork and twin 320mm front discs squeezed by monobloc four-piston calipers provide supersport level front end performance.
