WTB: 2008 or newer FZ1 in NYC

[indeo]

The oldest new bike I can find in the area is $7000 for a 2009. I wouldn't mind used if the mileage is below 10k.
I'm checking Craigslist, CycleTrader and this forum regularity.
Are there any newer years that would be worth the extra money? Any help is appreciated

that's a 2008, but it's brand new for $7000. so if you have 7 grand to spend and you don't mind going down to PA, i'd get that one! i am currently on the look out for an fz1 as well. 2007 and up preferably. have found some decent looking ones in NH and RI, but most are asking a bit much. i am trying to stay around $6k or lower personally. hopefully lower, but we will see. i tried to contact two different guys but neither got back to me. good luck with your search!

i read it wrong. you found a brand new 2009 for $7k? that's pretty good i think

It certainly would be up here anyway. They go for about $9000 by comparison.

I was just at a Yamaha dealer in NYC who is selling a new 2009 FZ1 for $7,800 total - including everything (registration, taxes, etc..).
They're pretty when new, but I'd rather get a used for cheaper so I can have enough money left over to get an exhaust, windscreen, gear..

That 08 is an 07 if it is cobalt blue, unless it was swapped out

If it's in the NYC area and you're not interested afterwards, let me know

Similar to this one? http://www.998cc.org/forum/fz1-general-discussion/9142-lee-36s-new-2009-fz1-kinda.html
09 > 07 especially with those black forks, but I caved on my goal of an '08 or newer when I saw the low miles. I'll be looking into a taller touring windscreen and some luggage soon for her, after I get my license and insurance in order lol

yep, same exact thing. mine also came with frame sliders that are smaller. and no tank pad thingy. those seem to be the only differences.





i think first up for me might be a fender eliminator kit, and that will probably be it for a little while so i can save some more money for some other stuff!
