Just thought I'd post up a couple of pictures of the new toy that's replaced the FZ1. It's a fantastic bike, feels like it weighs almost nothing and for a 600 has a decent midrange :tup:
I'm selling the FZ1 so some of the extras are up for sale!
Akrapovic SP Series Silencer - Carbon fibre oval silencer, good condition with no damage to it. Should have a removable baffle but I've lost it somewhere! The silencer comes with the carbon strap and clamps. The silencer weighs about...
After a bit of time spent thinking hard about it and test riding a few bikes, I've decided that the FZ1 is on it's way out to be replaced with a sportsbike again!
I've just ordered myself a 2011 GSX-R600 which I pick up tomorrow :yes:
I'll be a bit sad to see the FZ1 go but I don't have...
I've just received this months issue of Performance Bikes magazine and have noticed that they're running an FZ1n as a long term test bike this year.
The guy who's running the FZ1 is Mark White who currently has what's probably the most sorted '03 R1 about. It's got it's own huge thread on the...
Anyone seen one of these or got any experience with them?

I'm tempted to get one for my FZ1n as I didn't like the Mivv GP so fancied something diffferent!

I've just booked the next trackday for the FZ1, Silverstone GP circuit three days after the Silverstone round of the MotoGP :-)
I'm heading up there with a mate of mine who will hopefully be on his FZ1 as well. I think I need to get a couple of extra memory cards and a spare battery for the Gopro.
I've just been watching the highlights of this years NW200 road racing and they were showing some on-bike footage of the Cookstown 100 so I thought I'd post it up here.

Spotted this on another forum and thought I'd post it up for you guys to see

Scary stuff for the riders involved :eek5:
Does anyone know if there are any issues with running the bike with the speedometer unplugged?
Apart from having no speedo and clocking up any miles does it cause any problems?
I may be getting rid of the FZ1 this week so I'll be removing the few aftermarket parts that are still on it!
I've got a set of shorty black Pazzo levers fitted at the moment which I'd rather sell than leave on for the sale, the problem is that I don't have any standard levers to swap them...
They were filming this last year when we were on the IoM for the TT, it's getting released at cinemas next month in 3D......I've already booked our tickets!

For you guys with standard exhausts on the bike still, does your EXUP go through a full movement cycle when you turn on the ignition?
Also if you've got a set of AIS blocvk offs fitted and you have the standard pipe, does the EXUP still work with the AIS removed?
I've taken my FZ1 back to standard so the Akrapovic is up for sale.
The silencer is in great condition with one or two minor marks as you'd expect but nothing worth worrying about. The silencer is complete with the carbon strap and all the mounting kit but it does not come with a baffle.
I...
I might be converting the FZ1 back to standard sometime in the next couple of weeks so I was wondering if there would be any interest on here in any of the following parts?
Copperdog subthrottle plates
Power Commander 5
Akrapovic Carbon Fibre silencer
K&N filter
Pazzo shorter levers in black...
