I find for myself, the smaller bike is more fun. The fz1 is fun, but barley rolling through the throttle has you at well over the speed limit. Its a hoot on the track, but the street, it seems lazy. You can pop it in second gear and never shift.
I'd love to go back to an fz6 from my gen 1 fz1 as well. I prefer the lower power bike. It's more fun. I just need to figure out what I want to do suspension wize on the 6. Once you've had nicely set up after market suspension components , stock stuff really shows it's flaws quickly.
I'm getting ready to have my fz1 painted and would kit to put thr kenny roberts kit on it. Does anyone here make a kit, or can direct me in the right direction ?
As most of you know I was trying to sell the sprint. Well I ended up striking a good deal on an 2002 fz1. Heres the specs...
ohlins OES kit in front forks, Penske double rear shock (currently set up for 175 lb rider), Factory huger option (painted to match), Factory titanium option handlebar...
I installed some fz1 bars on a friend of mines fz6 for him and apparently I did not tighten the bar ends enough. He lost one on a 50 mile ride. Does anyone have some I can purchase? Thanks!
