Yamaha FZ1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yamaha FZ1 is a street motorcycle manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company Ltd. of Japan. The 2006 model has a 998 cc DOHC 20-valve R1 engine, which produces 150 horsepower at 11,000 rpm, set in an all-new compact aluminum frame.
Model years 2001-2005, known as FZS1000s in Europe, were virtually unchanged except for color offerings. In some European countries the 2005 model also saw the introduction of an exhaust based catalytic converter, albeit of a rudimentary design. 2006 the introduction of a complete new model. New chassis, suspension, body work and a completely new engine never seen before in the big Fazer brought the bike upto date with modern rivals. There have been instances of fuel injection glitches though on the new models with various different 'fixes' being available.
Yamaha also produces a smaller, similar 600cc version of this motorcycle called the FZ6.
