1st gen FZ1 is a reliable tank of a bike. My friends driving their Newer 600 supersports are always surprised. This bike can do this for many hrs during the day.
Resurrecting a Great video, I just bought an 03 FZ1 as we call it here in the states a few months ago for $2500 , it has about 35,000 miles on it, but it seems these slightly detuned R1 engines can rack up plenty of miles as long as it is taken care of.. I don't know what all has really been done to it, need to get ahold of the original owner and see if it might have an Ivans jet kit perhaps as the mixture screw caps have been removed, so it might very well have the Ivans jet kit, it has a an Akraprovic carbon slip on and is painted in the Yellow and Black Bumble Bee colors and it came with the "very" hard to find engine fairings that you cant find anywhere.. I'm not sure if I like it with the fairings or naked more? The fairings are indeed rare though... Hopefully I can find out if the carbs had an Ivans jet kit or not, as it seems with a few other mods it can give me up to 15-20 more HP and still builds more peek power and little higher up about another 500-800RPM than a stock carb setup that seems to peek HP at between 9800-10,000 RPM.. I was really surprised at how well the bike handled when I test drove it, and I was sold.. Especially after coming off of a 670lb Victory Kingpin that is going up for sale soon! I thought getting older and some health issues that a cruiser would be easier on my titanium plated wrist and weak back, But the FZ1 is plenty comfortable and does not put a lot of weight on my wrist and back like a full on sport bike, but still get similar performance and handling and I am way less skilled than @markrochell4880 and will never ride as hard as you sir! I tried the big American cruiser, but soon as I tried the FZ1 I knew the heavy tank was going to be replaced, Why lug an extra 200+lbs along and get crappy handling when I can have the FZ1 that does it all and can be a cruiser if I want to add some bags plus I have always ridden sport bikes.. I saw a pic the other day on some sight of a guy on a dark red FZ1 leaning the bike all the way over sliding his knees with 2 hard side bags and a large rear bag on top of it!😂
I'm pretty sure that after seeing this video, used sales of the Fazer 1000 went up! just got mine yesterday and been thrashing the arse out of it for two days and the only fault i can find is that because of the excellent power and handling i am filling it up after 120miles! Ivanised of course... ;-)))
@@markrochell4880 That's awesome, I raced my fz1 and rode it spiritedly so I did a partial restore at 85k with a fresh engine and some nice mods that it already had and some new ones, better than a new one and still my favorite bike of many owned over the years, glad to hear yours is still out there killing it
@@ccreations123 I had few different bike as well kept the fazer (from new) as I enjoy it more than other bike. Had gsx1000 zzr1400 but not as fun a fazer, now got honda crosstourer for 2up touring.
@sugarrfree had upgrade back in 2014 nitron rear suspension and new spring in front fork. Can't remember which fork oil think 7.5w. Also jack up kit short dog bone to rise rear higher.
Wind sock on mic would make it more bearable to watch ... guy up front with pillion is irresponsible riding like that with his Mrs on pillion, some sketchy overtakes.
Not bad, but in future, can you try to have the sun at your back. The video will be better this way. Thanks.This looks extremely dangerous driving! Please be careful. Safety first.
Great vid.
This bike was way ahead of its time.
This video made me want one and I’ve had it nearly 2 years now.
Had mine since 2007 I honestly couldn't think of anything to replace it with...as good now as it was then 50 thousand miles later.
@@stephenallen3683 I've had mine about the same amount of time and feel the same way, just did a partial restore on mine and is better than new
What a ride! excellent mate and a testimony to the R1's little brother... Great Bike + Great rider = unbeatable ;-)))))
I just bought one Thursday. I sure enjoyed the ride with you!

У меня вспотели ладони 😂
Невероятный skill
Awesome riding and a fantastic bike. I wouldn't ride anything else. I love how my 2002 model beats most of the bikes out there.
Mine does to 80k miles on it now. Can't beat them

mark williams yes I bought mine after watching this. It's great
I'd LOVE to take my 2003 Fz1 there and run the course at that speed. It would be an awesome adventure. Too bad I'm on the wrong continent.
He had to have known the road. I got to admit I didn't think he was going to pin it like that lmao absolutely flat the f#@k out 👌
Awesome video mate - Love my FAZER 1000 - 2004 - May I ask what year is yours? Is it also Ivanised? (Full Monty) - Cheers!
Great skills!
What was that bike with the case in front of You?
My friend bike is a honda crosstourer 1200.
I'm guessing you've ridden here before, nice work. What are the guys two-up on? It aint no slouch either.
Honda 1200 Crosstourer - fastest I've ever seen one move.

@@markrochell4880 thanks so much,all the best to a great rider
it begs the question. any need to having a sports bike.
Josh Hartley It depends if you have space left in your Garage.
think i need to buy a fazer1000
I'm almost quite sure that it wasn't he first ride on this road
Amazing drive! You're great man! :) My bike is 2005 FZS1000 Fazer and i love it! Timecode 05:48 is very nice, i think it was a 1100XX behind you :lol
No, Honda 1100XX faster than Yamaha !!!
May be, but at this video yamaha is faster. ;)
dreamdark80 Yes)
1100xx would kill the fazer . Stick to speed and style suit you.
PQ A YAMARA NÃO TRAZ ESSA TECNOLOGIA PRO BRASIL???
How is the Fazer doing?
82 thousand miles now and still going strong 💪,
