I ride every day I wake up breathing,
I lived in London most of my life and rain, snow, ice never stopped me riding. big sports bikes in the snow are so much fun
now living in Australia and loving the warmer weather
had my 08 fz1n for 5 weeks now and done 5100 klm on it, compared to my old 03 gsxr1000 it sucks power wise, and it is a pig on the highway, gear changes are rubbish too
fuel range is a problem as well
I still like riding it though and compared to the naked bikes I grew up on z1000's z1300...
I picked up a totally stock 08 fz1n with 4125 klms on it 2 weeks ago.
I have around a grand to spend on it, so i'm doing the usual stuff, power commander, race can and air filter
what do i need to get rid of the power restrictions in 1st and 2nd i'm in Australia so its mail order for me
had my biggest crash on a gs850, the oil seal went on the shaft drive on the highway, I didn't notice till the shaft seized at 110mph, totalled the bike but I hobbled away
any way first road bike was a Suzuki ap50 60cc big bore kit and a micron pipe, flat out down hill with the wind behind me...
I live at Morayfield Qld only picked up the 08 fz1n last week bin running a 03 gsxr1000 for the last 5 years, hope this one is just as reliable 154000, klms in 5 years
