Yamaha FZ description

2003 FZ1 for sale, one of two special editions offered (one was black/grey, skunk, and one was black/yellow, bee). 

On a scale of 1-10, I'd give the condition of the bike a 7. It's got some cosmetic issues, scratches here and there from being laid down twice while going down a gravel driveway, happened at very low speed. The side fairing kit will go with the bike (bought at Yamaha for $900), not currently installed due to needing to repaint the fairings.

Mechanically, the bike is perfect. All regular servicing has been done on time, currently has a new set of spark plugs, a recently oiled K&N air filter, and an oil change with less than 200 miles on it. Yoshi exhaust pipe. Handlebar has been turned upside down to increase comfort and allow the rider to lean slightly more forward, slightly reduces turn radius, easy to turn back upright.
Tires are in decent shape, front looks near new and rear shows wear, I replaced these two seasons ago but have done little riding. 

Comes with two,like new, black and yellow Fulmer helmets with chrome tinted visors, sizes 2X and Med.
2X has been worn maybe a dozen times, Med worn once.
Also comes with large Joe Rocket leather jacket, with padded inserts.

Runs very well, I've never had any issues from this bike. 

Plenty of power, doesn't smoke, doesn't leak. 

Local Pick Up Only

The reason I'm selling this bike:
When I was young and naive I purchased a 950 cruiser off the showroom floor, two months later I decided it wasn't for me and traded it for this bike, the FZ1. Under the allure of factory financing, I made a deal - the bike was actually financed with a Yamaha credit card at 19.9% interest. I loved my motorcycle several years ago, but I've grown to resent it. I doubled payments for a couple of years and finally paid it off, now I want it gone. I can probably get more for it, but I'm not interested in asking 3-4 thousand like some of the other FZ1's on Craigslist. I know it has cosmetic issues and I'm not interested in looking at it another day.

The picture posted is a stock photo, I'll take more pictures asap.

The overall condition of the bike, on a scale of 1-10, is a strong 7. Aside from a few minor cosmetic issues, the bike is mechanical perfect. Featuring a recent service - new plugs, new oil and filter, fresh oil on K&N air filter. The cosmetic issues are minor scuffs and scrapes and are pictured.

  • Handlebar has been turned upside down to increase comfort and allow the rider to lean slightly more forward, slightly reduces turn radius, easy to turn back upright.
  • Tires are in decent shape, front looks near new and rear shows wear, I replaced these two seasons ago but have done little riding. 
  • Yoshimura Race Pipe

I simply do not need this motorcycle anymore, local pick up only.

French Moto Website Anticipates Versys 1000 at EICMA 2011

Mon, 24 Oct 2011

Musings of a liter-size engined Kawasaki Versys have circulated the web for a few years now, as loyalists of the likable Versys 650, as well as displacement-driven riders waiting in the wings, have pondered the potential of a more powerful adventure bike from Kawasaki that’s in the same league as BMW’s R1200GS and Yamaha’s Super Tenere. Alas, nothing of the sort has ever left the lips of Kawasaki, let alone go into production. Recently, however, the French motorcycle website, Moto-net.com, has produced convincing images that appear like photos of a complete Versys 1000, including matching hard luggage.

Yamaha Produces 35th Anniversary Edition SR400 for Japan

Yamaha is celebrating the 35th anniversary of its SR series with a special edition model in Japan. Produced in limited numbers, the 35th Anniversary Edition Yamaha SR400 offers an exclusive leaf green metallic color, special badging and, in an unusual gesture, a lower price than the base model.
