Story as follows: I've been reading about the FZ1 for about a week or so. I was looking for an alternative to my 2005 Triumph Speed Four, something a little more upright and with more power. I called a dealer to ask if they had one and he said that they had an 09 demo. Took my wife to buy her a new cell phone and thought I'd just stop by to have a look as I,ve not seen one in person. This shop was asking some where around $9500 and I informed the salesman that I'd seen a 2010 for $8400 so he'd have to come down a good bit to peak my interest. While sitting on the bike I noticed that the right side peg was bent a little so I got off the bike to inspect the right side and noticed that the fairing and turn signal had scratches and the heat shield on the exhaust had a small dent, something he forgot to mention. To make this long story short I got the bike for $6000 and feel like I got a pretty good deal. I honestly just went to sit on the bike....honest.

I'm bringing it home tomorrow.
 
Got my 08 this may for 7200 with zero miles. Something about theses bikes, if your not intending to buy it i wouldn't ever sit on one. lol. Around here gixers are a dime a dozen, everyone has one, but i have the only fz1 that i have seen out on the road. Always get people to stop and ask me what it is, makes it worth it to me.
