    Does this have a crossplane crank? And aren't these nakeds really heavy? Like 240 kgs. and stuff?
    Who needs more than 70 bhp when you don't need to slow down for the corners?

        It does not have crossplane crankshaft. not all nakeds are heavy.

          NIce buy Niks.. White surely looks amazing.. We are waiting for lots and lots of pics so that at least we mere mortal can have a better look of this monster..


          OT : Any particular reason why you didn't go for Bandit 1250, which I think is more practical, comapred to FZ1...( Its just my opinion )

            no superbike is practical in any sense
            Its just a matter of personal preferences

                Owning a SBK itself is..
                Anyways, you are right, its the personal preference that matters..
                Really Happy for getting this one.. Now please fill this thread with some lovely lady in white..

                    Hey Niks, Congrats on the Beauty, whenever I pass the Yamaha showroom in Bangalore, I just can't take my eyes off it. They have a white one on display, beautiful colour. Time for your Avatar pic to change. Ride Hard, Ride Safe.

                    CHEERS,

                      When you are dishing that kind of dough on two wheels, go with the heart and not the mind.

                        Congratulations!!

                        The white sure does look HOT on the FZ1.

                        The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                          Thats some decent mileage for a liter class bike. I think it will get a little better after first service. BTW, what are you filling her with? 97 Octane?

                            first time I filled speed 97. Next time regular HP fuel , third time regular speed.

                            I am going to stick with regular fuel only since manual suggests so (91 octane)

                              stick to one brand --one make --

                              coco rto ,baner,siddhivinayak are a few good options for bpcl speed.
