Everyday Comfort Coupled with Razor Sharp Handling and Open Class Power

Cycle World Magazine's "World's Best Streetbike"
-- Oct. 2004

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.

Sometimes it feels sinful to hide an engine like the R1 derived, 20-valve, Genesis powerplant behind bodywork ... hence the FZ1.

Our “naked” bike, though, is fully decked out:

  • Fully adjustable suspension at both ends
  • Four-piston monoblock calipers
  • Light, three-spoke aluminum wheels
  • Wide, high-performance tires

The same semi-upright ergonomics that make dawn `til dusk rides not just possible but highly enjoyable also provide great leverage when the road turns twisty.

In the end, you can come at it from either direction: practical transportation, or 140-horse sportbike.

Both paths will bring you around, eventually, to the one bike that’s both. FZ1.
