COOL but Fast Ride
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 14, 2014I have both a Gen 1 ( 2003 ) and GEN 2 ( 2009 ) FZ 1 . Yes I am a lucky man who likes to ride / commute about 10K miles per year . I love the low end of the 2003 , but the
suspension is much nicer on the 2009
bike. You could still a few TRACK days and continue to have fun on your ... commute to work ! The older Gen 1 is a bit softer sprung and is great for TOURING if that's your bag !

By (I am an Enthusiast) on Jul 24, 2010This bike is the best in the naked litre class. thoroughly under rated but can seriously kick all the others out of game. great bike to own and so easy to ride just anywhere!

Great bike
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 05, 2010I came to own the FZ1 accidentally when my Buell XB12 kept breaking down and the Harley stealership had the FZ1 on trade.
I like the bike more and more. It is comfortable, damned fast and handles pretty well. If they put a real rear shock on it, the handling would be laudable.
...
Putting a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT on the front and a Pilot Road 2CT on the rear helped.

Best bike ever
By (I am an Owner) on Feb 16, 2009I've been riding bikes all my life. I ran street races back in the 80's. I've had speed bikes, race bikes, and cruisers. The 2009 Yamaha FZ1 is an awesome bike and should be rated much higher than it is.
