Been riding 35 years. Had a bunch of cool and some not so cool bikes since the 70s, most recently had an 08 R6 that I loved but hated riding due to aggressive riding position (I am getting old and old men look silly on a sport bike anyway). Traded it for a new FZ6R and enjoyed it for a few years even though I always felt it under powered. Sold it and bought a Ninja 250 for $500 from a pal. Talk about under powered. (I know I went backwards to the starter bike!)
Anyway I came across this 2013 FZ1 made an offer, they took it, and I am now an owner! This bike is crazy fast but quite manageable. I test rode a torquey FZ-09 and it was a wheelie machine, that is not my style and to be honest it intimidated me a bit. (Give me a break, I am used to riding a 250)
I really like the smooth linear power delivery of the FZ1 a lot more and I am really happy with my purchase. Maybe in 10 years I will get a cruiser and sit on a slow two wheeled lazyboy chair but for now I still like "spirited" riding.
It is the dark metallic blue and has 6,000 miles. Look forward to some flush mount signals and fender eliminator, then I will start research on if I want to do exhaust.
Cheers!
