Description

2006 fz1 2nd generation. the bike has approximately 7100 miles. I have added a yoshimeria slip on exhaust. I did this because it saves about 11 pounds over the stock exhaust. (I still have the stock exhaust if you want it) it also makes the bike sound really nice.

I purchased this bike 3 months ago form a shop in south florida. they had taken the bike in on trade from what was described to me as an older gentleman who just wanted a Harley.

the tires had 3 inch strips on each side (no wear). it was simply used to ride in a straight line.

the dealership sent the bike to the local Yamaha dealership and they went through the bike. the fuel pump was replaced. The bike also had a tune up and was ready to go.

I purchased the bike and trailered it home to north Alabama. I replaced the tires with Michelin pilot power front and rear. I changed the rear from a 190 50 to a 190 55. (turns in so much better)

I have about 100 miles or so on the new tires.

the bike has flush front and rear blinkers and a fender eliminator. I removed (but still have) the center stand. (it has a kick stand so I am not sure why a center stand is beneficial)I did this to save 6 pounds. I essentially removed about 20 pounds of useless weight by removing this and changing the stock exhaust.

I also mounted black frame sliders. they may be hard to see in the picture. to my knowledge the bike has been even been dropped. it is simply beautiful. I challenge you to find a 2012 in better condition. again only just over 7000 miles.

I have the title in hand and am willing to arrange for local pick up or I would be willing to meet in the following locations for a reasonable fee.(according to distance for me)

Birmingham Alabama

Chattanooga Tennessee

Atlanta GA

Nashville TN

Jackson MS

performance wise the fz-1 has an r-1 engine. people say that it is a de-tuned r-1 engine and I would say that is false. it is tuned to have a wider power range which causes it to fall slightly short of the peak power of the r-1.

simply stated I don't understand why anyone would ever want more power than this bike has. 150 hp on a 440 lb machine is crazy.

mechanically the bike is sound and visually stunning. if looks like a 2012.

the fz-1 has remained unchanged since 2006 so this bike is like the one on the showroom floor today (except they cost 10000)

why am I selling it? I purchased a track bike only. I have little time to ride and I don't need two bikes. when I do ride I enjoy the track a lot.

I have never taken this bike to the track. I have never raced it etc. I am 39. I have been on e bay for a long time and my feedback rating is perfect.

feel free to contact me with questions or request for additional pictures. (I travel for work so it may take a few days)

if your feedback is less than 100 please contact me prior to bidding. Serious offers only please.

thank you
