Exactly! Now that's a work of art! Roger

No bad snatch on mine... but I did the basic stuff to eliminate it. My $600 went to make the 06 more comfortable and more visible from the rear. There are or have been a few 06s and 07s for sale on the FZ1OA forum. Here's a new 07, this is his 3rd FZ1 I think. He REALLY likes them. The FZ6...

Aw shucks bp, you made me blush! Red that is! :D https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s...mp;#entry245194 Roger

Hey ScooterG, Just so we won't have cars that look identical, I think I'm getting this... 806 stock horsepower! Top speed... 245MPH ! :dribble: ...and it looks good in black! :yahoo: Roger

Hey FJRMGM, I read so much on the FZ1 forum about the abrupt throttle snatch and have done much testing, but my bike never did display any terrible condition. Even at that I have done several inexpensive things to make the throttle action much easier to control. Others have done radical...

Hey Mark, I remember you telling us about that bike a long time ago. Since then I've been trimming my bike down in weight a bit and tuning it to make even more power. It's not there on top end with the R1s yet but she'll run with the big boys through the straight stretches and handles well...

Are you kidden? ...and give all you 1st gen FZ1 owners a chance to beat up on me! I'd rather take my chances at the EOM again! :rolleyes: I've been to Deals Gap, and it is a real blast, but I'm actually leaning toward getting away to a nice quiet beach pretty soon. However, I do ride the...

The second generation (06-07) FZ1s are a bit more sport oriented than are the first gen bikes. They're more like an upright seated R1. Either version can be made to tour on with enough add on creature comforts, but, for two up, mine is not going to haul all the stuff I need, much less my wife's...

Yesterday, at another local store, I got to sit on a new 07 FJR and a new 07 Honda ST1300 side by side. I couldn't believe how much more effort it took to get the Honda up off it's kickstand than the Yamaha. The FJR feels closer to the weight of my FZ, so I'm still looking at buying a bright...

Thanks Mike! Looks a lot better with Angie on the back! :yahoo: Roger

Thanks nmanley ! I completely agree on the muffler. This thing has three cats and an EXUP valve that really needs to go. My budget was appropreiated to go toward comfort and safety first. A new exhaust is in the works as there are many manufacturers to choose from now. It wasn't that way a year...

Thanks guys! I almost put the bike up for sale after my injury last Fall. Fortunately I've recovered enough to ride with some renewed confidense, and over the Winter so many new products were made available for this model that I haven't been able to keep up. Everything I've done has made it an...

Some of you may wonder what happened to me. I'm still alive and kicking and enjoying my bike. Here is a shot of me from a couple of weeks ago taken in Shady Valley, TN. 2006 FZ1,Rizoma risers and bar ends,G2 Y400 throttle control,TAG gold handlebars,HEL ss brake lines and fittings,wire...

One FJR owner got his photo taken by Rick Campbell of www.crotchrocketracing.com , and I saw the one below later sitting at the Country Store in Shady Valley, TN with FL tags on it. There was at least one other blue FJR within the large croud there Sunday. Once again I missed the opportunity to...

51 ...not old enough to own an FJR yet.

Hey Richard, That's a very generous and down right krazy offer you made me. I'll be in line with folks waiting to ride your bike once this gets out. Ol' Slapnpop would never approve of you doing this ...he's seen me ride! :rolleyes: One of my close friends here was like that with his Honda...

I've been visiting here for a long, long time, even ridden with a few of you. I was fortunate to attended last years EOM as a guest for a short while, but until today I haven't had the chance to actually sit on a new FJR. These bikes are still very rare here, but one of the local dealers kept...

My riding buds and I saw an 07 FJR on Holston Mountain, TN 421, on Saturday. I guess we just missed meeting you at the Shady Valley Country Store. Maybe we will meet there someday. BTW, Mark 4 Yamaha in Wytheville, VA finally called yesterday to tell me they have a new 07 on the showroom floor...

I just missed someone Sunday on March 25th when I passed a new blue FJR in a parking spot in Damascus, TN less than a block from the intersection of 58 and Back Bone Rock road ...TN route #? from Shady Valley. Anyway, I was coming toward Abingdon from Shady Valley and wish I had stopped to see...

You lucky Dog!
