I couldn't go without a motorcycle, So I had to get a new one to take her place. I searched high and low for what would be her replacement. I thought R1, But that would put me in the same perdicament. I thought maybe the Roadstar warrior. But I can't be seen on a cruiser. After all I wear all my gear all the time. I just wouldn't fit in. So, What I decided on was the R1 for the real world!!! . . . . . . . 2004 Yamaha FZ1 Timothy Kirk, Tulsa, OK Contour Videos are back: http://www.my99svt.net/videos

The only downside to the FZ1 personally are the looks. Sorry Tim, not digging the style, but if you like it, then that's all that matters. Sometimes I wish I had a little more comfy bike myself... -J '98 4Runner

The FZ 1 looks nice, and for someone that doesn't want to kill their back that is a much more laid back ride. IDK, I'd really have to ride em both for extended periods of time to choose. But financially I cannot afford a bike... Born again on 04/09/06 FOR SALE: Moonroof glass and motor MB sunshade PM ME!

I am going for a 04 R6 or 04 600RR. Cant wait, wont be until Octoberish though, that way they will be cheaper because the 05's should be coming in Justin Schmidt 2000 SVT Tour #1620 of 2150 Born 1/15/2000
