Absolutely one of the most underrated bikes out there, loved the damn thing. Could carve the tight twists with ease and still haul ass on the freeways comfortably. One of the best all around bikes I've ever owned
I just got mine a 2001 with 28k from a older guy who commuted to work on it. He owned it for 14 years picked it up for $2800. Put a m4 exhaust and new tires runs awesome. I came from a 08 zx14 special edition. So it's more mild but the riding position makes it soo good. Im getting a tail lifter which will raise the tail end 2". I think will make it look even better shooting down the road.
Must be quite a diffrence from the zx14, but as you know so much more usable powerband in these 1000's plus the riding position makes these so easy to toss around on corners or railing off ramps. I will say thats one thing I miss going from the Fz1 to the busa is a higher tach to play with, used to love hearing it scream through each gear just ringing out the rpm's....such a solid all around bike
@@user-mf6qi6rv1t Thanks for answering so quickly I was between a brand new M4 or an used Yoshimura RS3. I will probably go with the M4 because I don’t think the yoshi is loud enough for my taste lol
have a all carbon 2004 fz1 fairing, infills,rear cowlng,hugger,mudguard,undertray,bellypan,air box covers and side panels all carbon, plus ivans full monty upgraded suspension, and so much more plus a lot of titanium everything been done on it. if on fz1 groups on fb probably seen it i love the bike owned for 17 years
Hell yea, the carbon fiber parts dress em up perfect. Yours sounds like my dream vision I had for it, I have the motocomposites radiator shrouds and belly pan coming for it but unfortunately its going to the guy who bought it a couple weeks ago. Sold the Fz1 while the markets hot and snagged an 06 Hayabusa with 4k mikes. One of those bikes I felt the need to own and get out of my system while I'm in my 30's lol already miss the high pitch scream of the Fz1 with plenty of tach to work with, the way I had gearing set up it would've destroyed my busa on the holeshot....at least for now till the busa's re-geared
@@StraightothePointNews I changed the gearing twice but I completely forget the last setup I did unfortunately. I dropped way too many teeth the first time and it was a wheelie machine in every gear and had nothing up top for the highway so I had to find that perfect middle of the road setup. If I look deep enough in my emails I could find the front and rear tooth setup which worked great
It is taller but not by much, nothing like a touring screen.. unfortunately the bike is long gone now but that double bubble made a tremendous difference for me riding at 80
Got the smoked flush mount LED blinkers, they're hard to see in the vid. Wish I still had the bike so I could show you but it's long gone. But highly advise them, gave the bike a much cleaner look and they were bright as hell
The full fairings are extremely hard to find, I looked for months, and this bikes gone now but the kid who has it did even more extensive work and it looks killer, carbon belly pan, radiator shrouds, etc. It really tied up the front end
Made a big diffrence, which thank god because i think it was roughly a $400 dice roll, thing wasnt cheap back then. Its been years since ive had the 1000 but i remember being satisfied with the seat
How did you like that seat? Did you try the stock one that came with the bike first? Because my seats killing me i tryed one of those air filled seat pads horrible idea messed up my tail bone. Now i bought a gel pad that you put under the seat leather and re staple it. But it barely helps.
Sargeant seat was day & night difference compared to factory. Worth every cent even though its expensive as hell. Like any seat takes a bit to break in but once its broken in its a game changer. In fact speaking of seats me & the girl did 6hrs on the new hayabusa the other weekend and when we got back we just looked at each other like "yup, new seats getting ordered Stat".
@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 thanks im gonna have to get one. At first i looked up corbin seat because i had a corbin seat on my 1990 cbr1000f and it was amazing it was shaped like a saddle i never felt any pain on my tailbone but my hands were killing me from leaning over on it and it was lowered in the front so it was ever worste then stock now i have this fz1 with bar risers and its perfect for that but my tailbone is killing me in under a hour even with the thickess gel pad they make. If that sargent seat really works i need it. It honestly doesnt look as saddle like as my old corbin seat thats why i was skeptical
@@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537 yea hop on the forums and see what the corbin vs Sargeant guys are saying as far as the fz1 goes. Should give you a better idea especially from guys who are inputting experience with both seats. But regardless definitely sounds like you need to upgrade to one of the two asap for your backs sake lol im the same way, sucks when it starts affecting your ride
I sold the Fz1 while the market was nuts to lock in my dream 1st gen hayabusa. If you like the fz1 I highly recommend you hop on a hayabusa at least once in your life. Don't listen to the tales that it can't carve backroads or that it's big and bulky etc... its by far my favorite bike I've ever owned. Obviously a little more of an aggressive riding stance in comparison to the FZ but nothing as aggressive as your typical liter bikes. Just one of those bikes you need to own and ride for the experience like anything else.

Just bought an 01 about 3 weeks ago, completely factory, except for the seat. Absolutely in love, such a great machine.
Nice score man, Definitely the golden era of engineering for sport bikes.
@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 do you have a link for the carbon fiber farings. Looks sick af

Beautiful bike, one of the most underrated bikes imo. I own a 05 and love it!, I traveled over 13k miles on her this year alone.

How loud is the m4 slip on compared to the stock muffler? I just got a 2005 and have been looking for a slip on
@@thiagomilanez8460 it's not outrageous but much more than stock.
@@user-mf6qi6rv1t Thanks for answering so quickly I was between a brand new M4 or an used Yoshimura RS3. I will probably go with the M4 because I don’t think the yoshi is loud enough for my taste lol
@@user-mf6qi6rv1t As a sidenote You should post a video of the new exhaust because it’s almost impossible to find one on TH-cam for the first GEN
Gorgeous bike! I have a 2001 FZ1 black and added 3 cots clear with violet pearl. Looks black as you walk by it changes to purple
Badass touch with the violet pearl clear, bet people double take non stop at it
i just got mine, man is the best bike i ever had
Engineering masterpiece for that era of bikes. Enjoy the ride my man

Hi I have a 2005 I love it where can you get all the carbon fiber parts they look awesome
I've built mine a few times now, it's definately a runner
Nice bike
That’s what I wish my 01 looked like 😂instead it’s blue and I dropped it in my yard at 5mph so the front fairing is cracked
It still runs like a top got it for 2k with 22 thousand miles from a single owner
@@StraightothePointNews lol I feel like the drops always happen when you least expect it, and shit 22k that things got a longgg way to go, nice score
@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 is your gearing stock? I’m thinking of adding a tooth in the front and dropping one in the rear
@@StraightothePointNews I changed the gearing twice but I completely forget the last setup I did unfortunately.

@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 yeah I like stock as far as wheelies go but I want it to top out faster than 156 without jetting the carbs
It's the double bubble windscreen taller then stock? Do you know approximately how much taller it was?
It is taller but not by much, nothing like a touring screen.. unfortunately the bike is long gone now but that double bubble made a tremendous difference for me riding at 80
Where are your blinkers at? What did you replace the stock 9 inch apart ones with?
Got the smoked flush mount LED blinkers, they're hard to see in the vid. Wish I still had the bike so I could show you but it's long gone. But highly advise them, gave the bike a much cleaner look and they were bright as hell
Where'd u get the carbon fiber?

Dude you need bar end mirrors it made mine look so much better and i have full fairings for it too but those are hard to find
The full fairings are extremely hard to find, I looked for months, and this bikes gone now but the kid who has it did even more extensive work and it looks killer, carbon belly pan, radiator shrouds, etc. It really tied up the front end
@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 i think the newer fz1s fairings are easyier to find im not sure tho
Why did you sell it ?
