- Test Ride & Review of my 2008 Yamaha FZ1!
I believe that for the price, this bike is the best value. It is an underrated bike that a lot of people do not know about!
Sorry about the quality of the video and the angle. Not the best editing and also I did not realize how my GoPro mount was drooping a bit.
Better videos coming soon!

I’m loving my 2023MT 10. The FZ 1 is a phenomenal Motorcycle and can be had it’s such a great price.
That’s awesome!!
Just got a 2015 FZ1 back in April that came with a Power Commander and a Yoshimura exhaust. My last bike before this was a Harley Night Train. I'm 61 and I love my FZ1 👍👍🍻
Very nice!
How does the power commander effect performance?
The Fazer1000 is enough for me, the 2001-2005 model❤love it Frank/Denmark
I just got the same bike 6 months ago. I like the riding position way better than my r6. To be honest I wasn't impressed at first, but the more I ride it the more I love it!
Awesome!!
Great bike. Very civilized under 7000rpm, then it's race head kicks in.
Yezzir!
Glad to hear you use the back brake to regulate the engine speed while feathering the clutch, you are a natural bike rider. At 73 I still use a VFR 800 & CB 650R. Well done! You will always stay sharp.
Thank you sir!! Appreciate the comment !!
I'm 62 have a 2009 fz1. 68k on that bike I love it. Live in New Jersey. Been to Canada, down to the tail of the dragon. That bike is a great bike.
Awesome!!
Nj here as well near the shore.
I'm in Warren County close to Delaware river
St2 system for blinkers and throttle tamer takes away the snatchy throttle. That's an amazing bike. Thanks for making me jealous! Great video
Thank ya sir!! Appreciate the feedback and you watching!
Nice vid mate, love the Yamaha FZ1 so much I've got two of them
That’s amazing ! It is an incredible bike.
well done. I love mine
Love it!
Had an 09, traded it for a road star warrior, then sold it and got back a cherry 08 with 17000 miles. Never going back. Make sure you switch out that hand grenade rotor and she’ll never let you down.
Awesome!!
I bought an 08 last summer. Previous owner had done some nice tasteful mods and I picked it up for 4500. I gave her some new shoes and a quieter can but otherwise have just been enjoying it. Fantastic bike, very entertaining!
That’s awesome!!
I appreciate you showing off the slow speed maneuvering even not being totally comfortable on the bike. Gives a great view into how these bikes handle, I don't think enough people reviewing think to touch on the slow speed stuff.
Of course! Thanks for watching!
You'll get more used to it. I can turn in one lane, but I've had the bike 9 years. Counter weighting the outside rearset peg helps immensely like on any other bike. This FZ1 is capable of VERY nimble maneuvering.
Suchs shame what yamaha had become the old fz still beauty i love them i own the naked fz1 10 loving it
I have a 2007er Fz1. Its the Best Bike ever! Regards from Germany!
Tol! Ich hab fast 7 Jahre in Deutschland gewohnt. Danke!
@@harleydavidsontherapy1376 4 Weeks ago,i have check the Bike on a Dyno. The Result, 142hp on the Backtire. 💪
@@klausbacker6823 sehr stark 💪
I have a 2009 that I'm fully restoring but it has a power commander and a full exhaust.
Love it!!!
I've had my 08 FZ1 for 9 years. I WILL NEVER SELL IT. I love mine so damn much! It's an amazing bike.
That’s awesome, brother!!
@@harleydavidsontherapy1376 make sure you swap out the Stator's Rotor, the OEM one that came inside the bike is TRASH. Save yourself a ton of work and just do it. Soooo many people have dealt with that horror story including me.
Oooorahhhh!
hooahh
Just bought one if these,a 2008 model only 15k miles....for £3300 or $4200 ....like you say a lot of bike for the money 👌👍
100%!!
6:53 I know the feeling. I was on my MT 10 today going 75 on the highway and just did a nice roll on in six gear and within a matter of a second or two I was doing 115. you won’t be doing that on your Harley lol as you said going from 80 to 150 :-)
11:54 neutral, lol is a motorcycle thing. We’ve all done it in fact, I just did it the other day :-) I’m not throwing shade. I just think it’s funny because it’s a motorcycle thing.
Yezzir!!
Have had my 2012 FZ1 for 8 years and discovered this back then. Compared to all the naked standard sitting liter bikes like Kawasaki ZRX1100 and 1200, Suzuki Bandit 1200 and 1250S, Honda Hornet 919, and even Triumph Speed Triple 1050, the Yamaha FZ1 is a better bike. Enjoy! Check out my list of FZ1 Mods below and more to come, I just did a front sprocket drop to 16T and added a Power Commander 5.

Nice!!
I own this beast for 3 months now, my only daily vehicle, can't be happier, the city fuel mileage is kinda bad but it is a 1000cc inline 4 with 150HP-ish...
Yezzir!!
Stock 2007 Yamaha fz1 here, bought used at 12000miles for $4500. Now have 22000 m and enjoying the journey. I’ve swapped the air filter done some cosmetic modifications not sure which direction to go next either go +1 up -1 on the chain or get a full ecu flash
Love it !!
I like this and the fjr because i want a tourer with shaft drive
Awesome bikes!
Dude, is there a gun range in your backyard? Lol that sounds like gunshots.
Hey would you recommend to buy a 2008 fz1 for this days?
I definitely would recommend it. Amazing bike.
Keep practicing at slow speeds. Its were we are most likely to wreck and it gets pricey droppin bikes with plastic fairings
🙏
can you give an update? still happy?
Sold it actually. Only because had too much in the garage. But I will definitely own one again. I loved that bike.
started a cold bike and instatly redline it?
Always gotta have somebody yapping
I been trying to find a Fz1 in Md
can you help me
I'd be down to sell you mine. Let me know if you'd like to see it sometime. Thanks!
@@harleydavidsontherapy1376 Yeah I’m down to look at it
@@Jrwillome If you wanna see it, I'll be in Montgomery County this weekend if you're in the area!
@@harleydavidsontherapy1376 Yes I'm in the area and I would love to see that beauitful FZ1
@@Jrwillome great! If you want to meet at the Food Lion on Rockville Pike around noon, you can see it. Thanks!
You're smoking crack if you think that thing is close to 400lb and has 0-60 in 2.5 seconds
It’s 438 lbs and can get modded to 2.9** sec. (Tuned, head pipes, air filters, throttle plates, etc)
438 dry weight..not weight..yes 0-60 in 3 secs with a 16t/45 drive train sprocket set up. Also, get a full Ivan's Tune. A true 150 RWHP to wheels with fuel cut eliminator, power commander, modified butterflies, air box mod, BMC/K&N air filter.
450 lbs give or take.
0-60 in under 3 seconds.
85mph in first gear ⚙️
