Greetings from Chicago U.S.A
« on: 02 June 2017, 12:02:02 am »
I dont know why I waited so long to apologize for this clown that somehow got elected president of the U.S.A. I have a blue 2005 FZ1 and 2014 FZ09 or the MT-09  as it's known in most markets. I've been riding 34 years, 12 months a year. Here in icy Chicago thats sort of rare. The Urban Ballet with millimeters to spare. Yeah, I enjoy traffic.

Hi Wayne, and welcome to the forum. I commuted to London for most of my working life by bike, so totally understand where you're coming from, although maybe not quite as cold as your home city.Quite a few of us on this forum also post on the Stateside equivalent FZ10A. Enjoy :)

My FZ1 is nearly stock except for a smaller front sprocket which is great in town and just fine at interstate speeds. Touring in Italy was my heaven.
