I'm in the market for yet another bike so I found this 2008 fz1 (9000km)and took it for a spin. BTW I also have an 03 R6...of coarse totally different, ride was smooth suspension was a bit hard and the seat (would have to go). One thing..for a bike claiming 150 hp I didn't think it felt like it, now traffic was heavy but I guess I was expecting a lot more. I know its a sport tour but isn't this machine supposed to wake up at 8 g's.( don't get me wrong it moved pretty good) clutch made a bit of noise until I pulled in the lever . shifted well and had a nice low cruising RPM at 100kph. Does this bike really suck when it comes to fuel economy ???? I have read 32mpg.. Am I expecting to much? I know the R6 is a different breed..Im looking for a sporty look but a good seating/handle bar..position. decent comfort..and lots of power.any comments would be great.... ...getting old fellas. BTW I did like the bike and may put in an offer
