Yamaha FZ1
Powerful 320mm front discs offer fantastic feedback and quick stops.
Attractive arrow-shaped headlight provides good illumination at night.
Compact instruments look snazzy and are clearly legible at all speeds.
Quality switches include engine-kill feature. Soft grips are nice to touc.
All-black 998cc engine is big on power and loves to be revved hard.
Thin riding saddle becomes uncomfortable over long rides.
Exhaust note sounds awesome on throttle overrun under engine braking.
245mm rear disc works well to slow the FZ1 down from all speeds.
