That's the best you could do? Disappointing.

You are referring to an 08 CBR 1000, not the 04-05 CBR that was in the Video. Your CBR is very mid range strong, quite a bit stronger than the 04-05 CBR as seen in the video. A properly tuned FZ1 can pull anywhere from 140 to 150 hp, right where a stock 04-05 CBR 1000 is. If the gearing is...

I had an 04 CBR 1000 and if the CBR in the Video is stock, and the FZ1 is down a tooth on the front sprocket like the video says then I can believe it. My CBR only put out 149 hp stock and wasn't all that strong for a 1000 in the mid range. The shorter gearing on an FZ1 with a slip on will...

As for tires, I'll be running 211 N-tech Dunlops which will gain me a little more ground clearance than stock. I just want to have fun without the expense of buying another bike purposely for the track. I enjoy the FZ1 so much on the street that I don't really have any desire to own another...

....anyone? How about just anyone that has track time on a current sport bike that can compare them to the FZ1. I don't want to go to the track and end up scaring the bejeezus out of myself. The track I want to go to first is big, fast and super fun on a properly set up bike. On one that...

I am a track day junkie! I averaged 1 track day a month for about 5 years but I had to give it up at the end of 2008. Because it didn't look like I was going to be able to go for a while, I sold my 2007 GSXR 1000 last summer. I am now ready to go, but the only two bikes I have that could do a...

My bike is just at 10 months old and I have 13,800 miles on it. Other than the seat being the worse thing I have ever sat on, I love it.

At one point, with mild headwork and Yosh cams the power went up to 155 hp. The problem was it didn't suit the kind of riding I was doing with the bike. It now has a stock head and the stock cams, degreed in for a stronger lower end midrange pull and better fuel mileage. Now this bike pulls...

I have a 2006 Limited Hayabusa with a little over 18,000 miles on it and can tell you it ranks as one of my favorite bikes of all time. It does everything well, from commuting, to canyon riding, to multi state 2 up trips and even track days. I had to modify the suspension for track day use...

Working on my order now.

Amazing how one mispelled word can take a nice discussion and trash it up instantly. ROTFLMAO!

"milf" ... funny.... lets try "mild".

I needed a new commuter bike and was hoping this bike would fit the bill. I was hoping for something that would have similar engine and handling performance compared to my 07 GSXR 1000 but with a lot more comfort. In 6 months I have put on a little more than 10,000 miles and can tell you that...

My 1998 1200 Bandit was quicker in the 1/4 mile than my FZ1 and took much less work to launch hard. Stock my Bandit dynoed in at 98 hp. With a slip on it jumped to 110 hp. With adjusted jetting and air box mods power jumped to 131 hp but torque jumped to just below 100 ft./lbs. With a full...

This poll is killing me, mainly because there is no option for me. I just like to turn! I especially like it when I turn the same direction as the road/track. That's when I am at my best. :) If I had my way, every day I would get to work and never go straight, just zig zag the whole way...

Thanks. I take each day as a new day, sometimes forgetting just how much time I have spent in the saddle. Seeing it written down puts a slightly different perspective on it. I have attended 4 different riding schools and 1 racers school. I guess this is more than a hobby! lol;'s

Resume I rode my first motorcycle by myself when I was 3 years old. It was a green cycle cat minibike that my dad cut the frame way down on so I could ride it. By the time I was 5 Dad cut the back of the frame and put Koni shocks on it along with forks w/about 3" of suspension int he front...

On a road course with equal riders the R6 will smoke the FZ1. Hell, with equal riders the R6 is more than a match for the R1 on a road course in most cases. Go out on a track day in the advanced group, or go out in an open practice for a real eye opener. It wasn't too long ago where a...

You can never have too many motorcycles! I have ridden over 640,000 miles on motorcycles, always choosing them over my cars. I don't make an incredible amount of money, but once I paid off my first bike I just kept saving what the payment would have been. I find by doing that every two or...

I have a new 2008 FZ1 and I am still in the process of breaking it in and so far I really like it. I also have a Hayabusa, 2007 GSXR 1000 with the usual exhaust pcIII mods and a 1998 1200 Bandit with a fully balanced and blueprinted 1216 motor. One of the issues I am having with the FZ1 is it...
