My father used to race in a formula that used the engines and transmissions from the FJR1300, and he said they used to tune them to 250-300hp on race gas and they never died

I don’t exactly trust anything Yammie says yet I still find him entertaining 🤣

Good to hear that the used market is also effed up in the US and not only here in Germany. Prices are currently about 1, 5 - 2, 5k higher than they have been before the pandemic. Some 3-4 year old models are sold with 15k kilometers on them for about the same what the current model costs new - Ducati Supersport S, I'm looking at ya.

Thumbs up in the FZ1!! I’ve got a 2012 gen 2 with R1 forks and shock, a flash, exhaust, and all the other typical sport bike mods and it’s a beast! I love the thing, and for the price you can’t beat them 👍🏻 also if you’re 6’ 3” like myself it is a hell of a lot more comfortable than any gen R1 lol

I’m 48 and I’ve been riding for about 30 years. I’ve never owned a liter bike until recently when I bought a 2004 R1. It kills my wrists and is so uncomfortable to put miles on yet I can’t get rid of it. The pull is addictive. I keep looking for bikes to replace it with but I can’t lose that insane acceleration. I want to sell it and get a MT09 or XSR900. I just don’t wanna lose that ecstasy inducing pull.

FZ1 getting some love. My 2009 was one of my favorite bikes that I ever owned. It wasn't the best at anything, but did everything very well. Great bikes!

Opps. My father in-law 84 years old has an FJR simi automatic 2006 (bought in this country) and It's great fun. What I think I like the most is the way it takes turns. What I dislike is the way it takes turns with a passenger. If you ride it fairly hard and shift quickly it's great . With a passenger if you take that extra second to lay back on the throttle the clutch releases then slaps back in, making you feel like a Noob. In 2005 we all went to Sturgis we test road everything we could. My wife had only been riding for a little more than 2 years and didn't feel comfortable ridding different bikes (she's only 5-1) and I've had to make adjustments in a few bikes over the last 21 years. They let us test ride 2 up so we had a ball. The turns we're smooth and transitions were perfect with that clutch lever. A friend from work was thinking about the Triumph sport turning equivalent so I called him right after the ride to tell him the FJR was his next bike and the Triumph that I had ridden an hour before was uncomfortable and could not keep up with my 2003 V-Rod. Not that I'm that great a rider maybe 125.thousand miles in my 69 years, but my father-in-law is, 100-thousand-mile pin in 1957 and still riding. I agree with you on the FJR it's a good choice maybe great. Just would not opt for the auto. I will recommend your videos to any young people that ask me about starter or second bikes.

After years of watching Yammie vids, ive decided the worlds a better place with Yammie in it...i never get bored. Thanks

[kellygrant]

zx14. More power than you ever would need, but so docile for those daily rides. Comfortable long distance sport bike. For those of us that still want the sport bike but want comfort. This is it - accept no substitutes.

[Walkeranz]

GSXR series is are by far the easiest sport bikes to wrench on. Parts are plentiful too.

[LukeS]

Yam I love your classical music in these videos. Such a satisfying culture clash.

[rayconifer]

Just sold my fz1 and I’m already looking at getting another one. Personally the first gen is way more rounded and comfortable in my opinion. I would hit the tail of the dragon and highway stretches on weekends and then commute during weekdays. It would dust most 600s and do so with an upright seating position. However if you have a 1st gen Ivan’s jet kit is a must and if you have a 2nd gen Ivan’s tune is good. Stock is good but you really do get a few horses out of a good tune and pipe. I put 60, 000 miles on mine and I didn’t have a single issue other than standard maintenance. I checked the valves twice in that time period and they didn’t change once. When it comes to weight, You honestly only feel it in the sharp, sharp, corners but day to day one of the best bikes ever. Best 3300 dollars I ever spent.

Love hearing Bach prelude suite 1 in the background. Classy Yammie Noob

[charlesheatherly]

Yammie - you don't need to yell at us at the end of your videos. We R already watching. Thanks Bro

[cousinstu]

FZ1 is my dreams come true. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. They should cost 2x for what you get. Mindboggling. Cheap cheap cheap. Way more horsepowers than any reasonable person needs, i.e. the perfect amount. Comfortable riding for miles and miles. Front wheel can come off the ground if so desired, and if not careful even when not intended (sorry mr. Occifer). Flickable in the twisties. I DD it to work every day weather permits... rushing out the door to get to work like a kid headed to Disney. This bike changes lives. Can confirm.

Great video as always!! Also, finally got my first bike, just took her home last night, 2021 Indian Scout Bobber Sixty in blue slate smoke. Clocked 42 miles on her today just cruisin around town getting the hang of things. All I gotta say is I’m obsessed and if it weren’t freezing cold and raining I’d be riding right now.

[BikingVikingHH]

My FZ1 has 74, 000 miles on it and still going strong.

[Chivy_B]

Yammie said the Busa practically unkillable. Grixxer Brah said hold my beer 😂

[seeulrwaynekerr]

Yamaha FZ1 is a finisher bike and a damned good one too!

[roadtrip]

Got my 50k mile Gen 1 Busa for $4200 last year - glad I did. Comparing it to my old 1098, it's essentially a 200mph lazy boy comfort wise.
