Your first decent ride on an FZ1 should be enough to convince you that in an era of great motorcycles, this is a special motorcycle. Sure, having an engine derived from the most famous litre Supersport of the modern era was a heck of a start, but it’s what Yamaha’s engineers have done with that platform that makes the FZ1 a jewel among sportbike designs. Smooth Torquer Torque-tuned specifically for the road, the FZ1 engine is mated to a light and rigid aluminium frame, sculpted with the perfect quotients of torsional, lateral and vertical stiffness. The outcome is pure class. Engine response… with forgiveness. Chassis agility… with stability. Available in your choice of faired (FZ1S) or naked (FZ1N) guise, that’s what makes the FZ1 fit …like a glove.
