Yamaha FZ1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yamaha FZ1 is a street motorcycle manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company Ltd. of Japan. The 2006 model has a 998 cc DOHC 20-valve R1 engine, which produces 150 horsepower at 11,000 rpm, set in an all-new compact aluminum frame.

Models produced in the period 2001 to 2005 were known as FZS1000s (Fazer) in Europe. There were virtually unchanged over this period, except for different color options. In some European countries the 2005 model saw the introduction of an exhaust based catalytic converter, albeit of a rudimentary design. 2006 saw the introduction of a completely new model. The main changes included a new chassis, suspension, body work and a completely new engine, never seen before in the big Fazer. This brought the bike up to date with modern rivals. There have been instances of fuel injection glitches on the new model, although there are various 'fixes' available.

Yamaha also produces a smaller, similar 600cc version of this motorcycle called the FZ6.
