Well I was going to buy a Triumph, but then I saw this 2007 268(!) mile Yamaha FZ1S for sale…
Yep I have bought ANOTHER Yamaha!I still have the trusty T Cat of course!
August 22, 2009 at 7:25 pm #59097ses310ModeratorVery very nice mate ! You coming on it tommoz ?
August 22, 2009 at 7:28 pm #59098RadarModeratorNot sure, it still needs running in!
August 22, 2009 at 10:30 pm #59099TT07ParticipantIve always liked the look of that model. As far as running in goes my mate is bringing his nephew along and he has only just passed his test so…..not everyone will be able to move along too quickley

The guy had to give up biking for personel reasons
August 24, 2009 at 1:08 pm #59102HippoDronesParticipantsuits you sir!
August 26, 2009 at 9:06 pm #59103imperialdataKeymasterLooks a cracker mate, hope to see it in the flesh (steel?) soon.
August 27, 2009 at 12:50 pm #59104GordyParticipantLooks very fine matey. Nice low mileage… still needs running in, so (…without meaning to sound patronising…) go easy on the throttle / loading for a while.
To be honest, each time I see one every ounce of common sense in me tells me that I really should buy one!
August 27, 2009 at 9:58 pm #59105RadarModerator180 miles so far, loving it. Will get the first service done at a dealer then take it from there myself
August 27, 2009 at 10:13 pm #59106HippoDronesParticipantAugust 28, 2009 at 8:05 pm #59107prezzoParticipantNice i mate suppose its as close to a R1 as you can get hope you have plenty of happy miles and it looks like it definitely needs trying out the roads in France 2010
August 28, 2009 at 10:02 pm #59108RadarModeratorCheers Paul, The desrire for R1 is still there, but the hard truth is I don’t fit them al that well! The Fazer has near enough 150bhp which should be plenty! Hopefully my holiday allocation at work will have improved in 2010 and a trip into France could be on the cards. Are you and Towcrowe going this year?

Radar, I really know where you are coming from! Back when we first worked together I had a 32″ waist, yet these days it’s a good 40″ around. It really does make a difference when ‘bum up and chin down’ on a race rep bike. When I last rode my (ex-) blade my tum was on the tank!!! FZ1S bekons…
September 3, 2009 at 11:02 pm #59110dazParticipantNice mate very nice will be thinkin about ya in france next week as we pass thru all those little villages that am sure you remember.take care daz…
