A BIG Welcome!

Welcome Bartek !! It's winter here also in middle Indiana . . . sunny and cold today! Brrrrrrrrrrr . .. .. . . ... in fact, I need some Bailey's in my coffee :icon_beer:
 
Howdy all -

Just picked up an 01 FZ1. This is my first bike to own (but not ride...). It had been dropped by the previous owner, but is mechanically decent. I will be repairing body work, and slowly moving it into the role of a one up sport tourer. Look forward to learning from the experts here.
 
Been a while

Thought i had better call here first !! As a few of you know i had an accident in febuary this year where i wrote my fz1 off and crushed my ankle ! whilst my ankle wont mend my fz will lol so ill be on more often now and ill keep you posted on how the new builds going .... time to get back in the saddle !!
 
Here's a Warm welcome to the newest members...Unlike some of the folks here...I have no plans on hibernating. As long as the snow melts quick I will continue riding!
 
Hello from Rocklin, CA.

I just picked up an '07: (seller's photo)

He had kind of a streetfighter thing going, with Pro Taper bars a chopped windscreen and an Akro slip-on.

But since I already have a streetfighter, I was looking for more of a sport tourer. So I added a ZG Sport Tourer Windscreen and some different Pro Tapers.

So far I'm liking the bike a lot. Decent power and it handles well. I was pretty dead set on an FJR or maybe ZZR, but I thought the FZ might suit me better. I'm pretty happy with my decision.
 
Welcome Deftone. One of the nice things about the FZ1 is that you can customize it to turn it into pretty much anything you want. While it's not as good a sport-tourer as the FJR it's lighter and more "fun" in the turns.

yea, the FJR is a beast. Fantastic bike but I can make a far more agile sport tourer out of an FZ1.

Yea, it will make a fine sport-tourer. I have mine set up more for sport-touring as well. I have Corbin seats (with passenger backrest), Givi V35 side cases (with the rapid release mounting brackets) and full factory fairings ;)
 
Hi, I am a new FZ owner but a long time rider. My son rides and races motocross and is into motorcycles pretty heavy as well. I picked up my bike, A 2005 Black FZ1, in november and have put almost 1000 miles on it in some pretty cold michigan weather. Love the bike and everbody I have talked to says for the price I stole it. Glad to be a part of this forum.
