Do you mean the Fz1 GT with bigger screen & full fairing ??sigpic

Oh crap! I wanted to say half-faired. It'll look like a grown up Fazer. You'll be surprised to see how small the bike actually is! Great for the shorter riders.Originally posted by darkknight View PostKriss : 15.06.1981 - 11.10.2009

ACI was given to test a FZ-1000 naked. They quoted the price at Rs. 9.5L(ex) and were pretty impressed with the Motorcycle across all parameters.Originally posted by gsferrari View PostComment

I disagree. FZ1 won't be affected even slightly. A lot of factors will gain attention, like the large wheelbase (1460mm), big fat tyres, inline-4 growl, size of the engine, size of the fairing, etc.The FZ-1N looks great. Both bikes look like bigger siblings of the existing variants here (the fazer and the FZ) so i guess it wouldnt demand any unnecessary attention from the regular crowd. Throw in a bunch of biking enthusiasts and the bike will get mobbed from all sides.
Put them all together and damn, you have a jaw dropping sight!
No matter how many smaller siblings appear, a superbike/ supersports can't be ignored, because of the reasons I mentioned above...
Guys, the dry weight of this bike is 199 kgs, and wet is 220 kgs.
Its a good news, but a multicylinder 250/ 400 from Yamaha was more expected, for some years now...---

Ahh finally a substitute for the bandit. How did i miss this thread.
Now have to see the next move from honda. IMO the yamaha should also bring its 250-600 cc range bikes also to india.NOT BEEN THERE NOT DONE THATComment

Mods - The thread of the title needs to be changed. Its not longer a CKD & hence the price is 9.6L instead of 8.6LSkill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

If they are getting the Fazer , why not get the naked also . The naked one shud cost a little less than the faired version too .Originally posted by gsferrari View PostThe FZ1 is confirmed for December at around 9L ex-showroom. Not sure of EXACT figure but it is coming...that much is certain. We will be getting the fully faired version...not the naked. Yes it is a lot to pay for a motorcycle but it will end up under 10L on the road and I think that is a good deal given the options we have today. I expect it to undercut the CB1000R by 50-75k INR.
Good bike for the rider who wants a bit of everything without the fugliness and fit/finish of the bandit. I maintain that of ALL the CBU options, Yamaha seems to have the least annoying after sales support. I guess that makes it the best bet?

Things can be created, like the R15 was created. And they got 3+ years after R15 to do it...From where? Do they even exist?
And I wonder, what happened to that R4 250cc that was rumored by Japanese Auto publications?---

The R15 was created from an existing model right? A 150CC that existed. Do you know of ANY 250/400 Yamaha (or ANY manufacturer) that is currently doing the streets or showrooms ANYWHERE in the world?Originally posted by Samarth 619 View PostThe Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

Correct.. based on the T135 platform, and ofcourse the now famous vixion.Originally posted by ken cool View Post
However they did ramp up a lot of things on that platform.. pushed the bore ahead, plonked LC and FI unit and so on.
I dont know of a multicylindered <400CC bike in the 'current' offering from anywhere in the world.
Even their recent 'upgraded' 250CC bikes have been a single cylinder... I guess those can\might come to India in a new form.....All I hope is that SOMEONE in India wakes up and makes a GOD DAMN! touring platform bike..!
PS: FZ1 - A touring bike...? Yes!
FZ1 - A touring bike in India NO
Well unless you have a healthy supply of octane boosters or tour with a fuel laded tanker serving you 95+ octane fuel to feed the 11.x:1 engine wherever you tour!Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

A lot of the FZ1 owners say they always use 87 Octane and any higher is not needed.Originally posted by niks_devil666 View Post

Your PS took my attention! The FZ1 should not face any fuel issues in India with our 91 Octane available in all bunks.Originally posted by satyenpoojary View Post
Of course, I did think of the WR series and similar offerings from other manufacturers. Which is why I said, "doing the streets", because I knew someone like you would bring up the WR series into contention!Originally posted by payeng View Post And you seriously believe that the WR kinda stuff can be used, detuned, cams lowered, chassis developped, twin spar frame too, for the 10K odd customers?
Oh! And yes, these are not multicylinders! But then I am sure you know that.
Are you sure that it is still on sale in Japan? Coz I could not find it on sale since 2006.Originally posted by payeng View PostThe Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!
