2003 Fz 1 Yamaha Fz1 - Low Miles, Mint Cond (wheaton) on 2040-motos

Yamaha FZ description

I'm selling my beloved 2003 Yamaha FZ-1, I am the 2nd owner but have owned it since 2005. It has been very well-taken-care-of, always garaged, and has been a fantastic do-it-all bike, from fast sport riding to long-range touring. It is of course very fast, with a very torque-filled midrange that allows great acceleration without having to change gears (unlike the current 2006-2012 version, which has a few more HORSEPOWER at redline but lacks midrange and always has had jerky EFI mapping issues - read the mags). But I mainly set mine up for comfort and long-range riding. I set the (fully-adjustable front and rear) suspension to full soft, and it is like a comfy couch, soaking up bumps and allowing full-day rides. I also have equipped this bike with ThrottleMeister cruise control, flip-out highway pegs (visible in the picture), and a larger wind screento make long rides a breeze. Yet it wears recent Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tires to allow serious cornering and strong grip. It handles great with these tires (my favorite tires so far), with very light and neutral steering. Awesome brakes, too. Approximately. 9500mis, low for this year and cleaner than most if not all others!Bike runs good with the Yoshimura slip-on (not a real loud pipe) and Ivan's full jet kit. It also has a FIAMM freeway blaster horn, pointing straight ahead to wake up those texting cagers! It's got Battery Tender leads installed as well, clear turn lenses, and maybe 1 or 2 other things I can't remember now. It will make some new owner very happy. $3450 OBO, and it doesn't need a thing. Serious buyers only (i.e. no squids) - make sure this is the type of bike you want and you have the funds to buy it before coming to see it. Accompanied test-rides allowed, helmet and M license required (I will follow with my ZX-14, so no running away!). Email if interested or with any questions.
