'OWDERS, PEEPS!
I'll be purchasing a brand spankin' new white FZ1n once the tax times are upon us. It'll be my first 'big' purchase, so It's something I'm gonna be pretty proud of. I had my heart set on an FZ8 for a while there, but whilst out looking at the local dealers for a black '8, I saw it...The biggest home grown pumpkin I ever did saw. Oh, and a white FZ1n, too.
No more FZ8 for me. The 1n looks much meaner, thanks mostly I reckon to those radiator shrouds. The '8 has a headlight that, like my ex, can look pretty ugly at certain angles, but the 1n is all sex in the face. At $13,000 for the 8 and $15,000 for the FZ1n, you really do get much more for your money--Even when just taking into account the brakes and suspension, aye! The dealer just got a black 1n in for use as a demo, so I'll be trying it out in a month or whatever. DIGRESS IS ME!
Jumping up from a '98 FZ6S, I'm expecting quite a bit of a boost in performance. THIS WORRIES ME! I've never really had the front end up at all in my 5 years on riding, and never really had any temptation to do so. Yeah, this'll be my first 1,000CC bike, too. *Accidental wheelie and there goes my money after looking at the throttle the wrong way*
The dealer selling the bike hinted strongly at me today that he'd throw in a pipe. Whether it's a full Yoshi system like he'd done to the demo model outside or just a Yoshi slip-on, I'm not too sure. I guess I should push for the full system, right? BUT THIS WILL GIVE ME MORE POWER, CORRECT?
There's not a great deal I could barter for that's worth much when buying this bike. I need a new jacket, but ugh... Should I be worried about the power increase? Will I need a Power Commander with a new exhaust? Will Smith?
Apologies for the wall of text. Leaving on a final note, I'm 6"4/193cm, 180lbs/81kg, and damn this bike looks short for some reason. All modern bikes do, regardless of seating position...which this thing feels comfy as saddling my balls on clouds and rainbows.
Peace out, bitches. Let's hug! :cloud9:
