Bit of a a looker this one, especially for a "commuter" style thing.

Haha. Previous owner's choices I'm afraid. It'll come off soon enough. The reflector isn't required by law or something is it?

Are those bars standard? Might just be the angle of the photo, but they look crazy wide!

Yes, the reflector is. Just get a sticky one, and stick it to your plate.

Those little round ones cost about a quid, just pop it on the bottom corner of the plate. Thumbs Up

What a looker. I do love those FZ1's and I'd settle for that colour. My bike of the future.

It's a good 'un and the handling is nice and light. However, the fueling is god awful. Coming off a closed throttle is very jerky, even if you do it veeerrry slowly and the engine has a very flat bottom end, with a dip in power at about 4-5000rpm.

Wind it up though and it goes bloody fast

If you have crap FI you might have a late registered 2006 model as the fuelling was sorted on the 2007 model.

My old man has a 2007 N version and the FI is fine. Thumbs Up

Nice clean example. And black currently gets my vote Thumbs Up.

Personally, a touch of FI jerk sounds more fun to me than god awful. But then again, I have been riding a single for the last 2 1/2 years Twisted Evil .

Enjoy.

I think that snatchiness can be remedied with an Ivan's FCE.

I might just do that. Thanks.

I had pretty good results using Ivan's stuff on my old RF900. Might wait to see if I get an exhaust for it first though.
