Backroad Boogie

Mark Forums Read

FZ1 For the rider who likes sportbike performance but prefers more comfortable ergonomics. The FZ1 offers a more traditional upright seating position, yet sacrifices nothing in terms of engine and handling performance.

During trackdays at PIR, I've hit redline in sixth at the end of the long front straight. Guessing 150-155? I pull my headlight fuse which also disables my speedo. Out on public roads, I rarely break 100 unless I'm out in the boonies.

Just blow out the cobs, etc... __________________ Just like the wind moves the branches of the trees. Faith is the evidence of things unseen.

firedup Club Racer Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: kansas Posts: 85 Gameroom cash: $868 Sportbike: 06 fz1	162 mph Yesterday i put on a fabricated midpipe, unplugged servo and o2 sensor and used a holeshot can. Took bike up to 162 on the speedo. Still pulling slowly but shut it down. __________________ Just like the wind moves the branches of the trees. Faith is the evidence of things unseen.
