Hey, I am curious about the FZ1, you are the second person I have read on internet saying they found the FZ1 too powerful - is it that it's too much power to be fun, or it's getting you in trouble?
Welcome to the forum. I am sure that you will find someone willing to trade you for that FZ1, as long as it is in good shape.

Somebody mentioned last week that the FZ1 can do zero to a felony in first gear, that sort of sums up the trouble aspect of it.:surrender:
I think FZ1inNH summed it up pretty well, if you aren't mature enough to control your right hand, don't even think about getting an FZ1... you will get into trouble fast (and not just legally)
I liked that zero to felony!!:rof:Marthy,
My 2007 was the Raven Black and bone stock. The Yamaha website would have the identical picture of what my bike looked like. It is a great bike but heavy feeling, too much power for the riding I do. I'm an older guy so I do not need to do 155mph.
Besides, I did that last summer on a trip to San Diego from Tucson. Wide open Interstate 8 just outside of Yuma, AZ has a 30 mile dead straight stretch with no on / off ramps. It is a great place to do your "land speed" record. I did it just the one time. Rolling it up to 155 (speed measured by GPS) held it there for 10 seconds or or so then brought it down to my previous 90mph cruising speed. Keep in mind this highway is nothing like I-95 on the east coast or I-5 in CA, OR or WA. There is not a sole on this section at 5:30am. I'll never do it again and this was the only time I did it here. One for the bucket list sort of thing.
Anyway cool bike indeed easy to die on or get thrown in jail...
