Yamaha FZ1 Review

The R1's little brother , This bike proves that if you want power, comfort, Performance, and style, It's obtainable at a very reasonable price . this 2011 Yamaha FZ1 is a forgotten gem

I still have my 2006 FZ1 I bought new in 2006. I just turned 94, 000 miles. I've taken care of the maintenance and have not abused the bike. It's looking and performing great. I still love riding the bike but I bought a new 2021 FJR 1300 two years ago. I'm 69 years old.

"R1's Little Brother" is a slap in the face to this bike. I like to think of it as "A Gentleman's R1"

My FZ1 ‘07 is about to hit 100k miles and I love it! I picked it up for $2500. It’s the ϟ version but as soon as the weather clears up a bit I’m doing the naked conversion. The ϟ looks good but the n is badass. I’m a big guy so aside from all the performance bolt ons I have some renthal Street fighter handlebars which are a little wider and taller and it’s soo comfortable.

Great video. I just bought a 2009 FZ1 about a month ago and I love it. Got a great deal and man does it rip. You can break pretty much every speed limit in first gear but it's still comfortable and upright enough that I don't get tired when riding for a few hours. The only negative I've noticed is the roughly 100 - 130 mile range. I don't ride to save gas so it doesn't bother me much but taking a long ride through the desert means I have to be sure I top up and plan my gas stops.

Outstanding review. I've got the Fz1'sa phaser. They're lovely machines.

Fantastic bike. Comfy, reliable and fast enough for sure.

I am getting one of these soon. But I simply cannot decide between the naked or the fairing model. I am more used to riding nakeds (such as my Honda Hornet 919 current bike), but really prefer the look of the fairing FZ1s and like the wind protection.

I have an ‘03 954, a ‘13 FZ1 (non -N 😢) and my ‘21 commuter CBR5R (sits behind the sleeper of my Peterbilt). The 954 takes car of my “I’m feelin’ like a cat or dog that needs their spastic zoomie itch scratched…”. The FZ is for “I want to ride all day and need to walk tomorrow… “ (I’m old and beat up..). And the CBR5R just allows me to be shut down somewhere and be able to go out and have fun on the road. The 954 and FZ will never be sold as long as I’m breathing!!!
