Duke having trouble keeping the front down. It looks like it would be better off on a larger more flowing track but none of that matters if the rider is not as capable as the bike. Both these riders are good. Watching these FZ1 vids are good for me and show me I have not outgrown mine and that my bike is more capable than me, so I will be keeping it. I have only had it one year and about 4000 miles so plenty left to learn on it. How much bike do you really need as a daily ride anyway? What I saw here was a 5K bike keeping up very well with a 30K bike. NZ dollars that is. It was this vid and other FZ1 vids that made my mind up to get one. Thank you. Thank you and thank you!
Dave Here / The FZ1N is awesome; a great all rounder and quick enough for most. My 2012 model never ceases to amaze me - will become a classic I’m sure.
A friend of mines got a Superduke and I’ve got an FZ1N - his has so much more torque - to keep up you’ve gotta really rev the Yamaha and keep on the power all the time. However, the Duke has nearly a third more cc. It depends on what you want ; it’s the FZ for me - the rush of that in-line 4 is amazing 😉
FZ1's can definitely get around the race track pretty well. This FZ1 sounds like it might run stronger than mine? I'm going to get mine tuned on a dyno next year.
Need to carry your speed much further into the curve , then brake harder..!! You won't catch very many riders by just backing off the throttle 100 yards before the turn-in. The FZ1 can handle a LOT more braking! Mine has a Yoshi R-77 full exhaust, PC5 and Ivan-Tune ECU Flash, and a modified airbox ... I've got about 150 RWHP and a top end of right at 170 mph. It is NOT 'set up' for the Track... it is my regular street bike... But I surprise a Lot of Supersports up in the mountains. Some of my riding buddies are WERA Racers!
I have an fz1 and I have the same pops and bangs on decel.. I am wondering if if does not harm the engine... I am afraid that the valves will go out the exhaust one day :)) Did you had any issues with that?
Bike needs a tune bad still got the stock tune on it it’s night and day a different bike throttle is less on off more smooth and that popping and crackling stuff is gone

A 1000cc inline 4 should never be counted out. Beast of a bike

You 20 valves on Yamaha is really superb the power is there
BrutaL BeautY !!! Nice Tuning !!! Nice Shifts !!! Lots Of Mid Range Power !!! Loads Of Torque !!! No Abs !!! Only For Real Riders !!! 🤘🤘
So my old FZ1 can hang with it. Impressive.
He never even beat on that FZ for more than a gear or two. The Yamaha is much faster.

Floyd Burdett I think he’s just following his mate to video him. I reckon he’s taking it easy.
He is deliberately slowing down, that F! would run circles around the Super Duke.
the Super Duke may seem faster but you always seem to catch up to him.
Joakim has skills ...make no mistake about that !
Good footage man and driving! Would enjoy to get the opportunity to do this someday as well!

Did you had any issues with that?
You didn't show us your bike.
Cool paint job on the Super Duke, though!
Nice ride buddy. FZ1N can still cut it.
Ser nice ut. Längtar till sommaren nu....
what a exhaust do you have? amazing Blubber xD
It's an SC-project slipon. But it sound like that with pretty much whatever you get, as long as the ais is still there.
hey, man, i just sold my speed triple and now cosidering buying a fz1. can you please give me some info on the bike.
Nope its too much air . Need a air box mod .. PS Change the flies..

Imagine a fz1 but with the mt10 engine
