Title: Wanted: FZ1 2007 onwards to buy or swap for FZS1000 + Cash
Post by: b1k3rdude on 19 December 2018, 07:43:09 pm
Due the fucking ULEZ zone kicking in on April 2019, I need to upgrade my 2005 FZS1000 for something that's Euro 3 compliant. So Continuing the tradition of buying and selling my fazer's with fellow foccer's I would like to start looking for a replacement fazer from this community before looking anywhere else.

The FZ1 need to be 2007 or newer, I live in south herts so would prefer a bike that close, but will travel for the right bike. [update] it occurred to me that someone on here might want to swap plus cash for thier FZ1.

My FZS1000 -
(details in no particular order) If I remember anything else that was fitted I will update the post.

they always seem really good value to me, helluva lotta bike for your money. They might not be the allrounder the early bike is, but they are a proper tool, even more so with a few mods. I loved mine but it didn't cut it two up for the missus like the early bikes do

A cracked frame on the FZ1 does not necessarily mean a crash, some early FZ1 models suffered frame cracking near the weld on the rear of the frame near the seat. Most should have received replacement frames from Yamaha.

Again, I don't have anywhere to do do a frame swap, I live in a flat. If I were to do it, it would have to be outside and in the summer and done all in one go. And then there is the issue of getting the engine out of the old frame and into the new one - don't have a overhead lift or large & wide enough floor jack. And even if I did the road surface where the bikes are parked is far too rough and uneven to allow for the the use of either method.

If you added a price you may be able to sell then add the cash......albeit you won't be able to carry on buying from fellow foccers. Just a thought.

I mean if you added a for sale price then you could go looking for an FZ1 with the extra cash you have to add to the swap.

If you're selling your Gen 1 because of ULEZ, why not get a CoC from Yamaha for approx £60, as its Nox figure will comply. Dazza has already done this.

Mine is an import from Hawaii so despite it being currently being identical to a UK spec bike Yamaha will still not issue me a CoC due to bullshit technicality of it never being manufactured inside Europe.

And secondly AFAIK, Dazza is still fighting with TFL despite getting a CoC for his. Its just easier to upgrade to a newer bike.

Er so Dazza isnt still fighting with TFL then? because that was the last I read he was doing...

And regarding yours, you paid your 2x £65 to yam UK, sent the CoC (for the people that asked is Certificate of Conformity), sent these to TFL and the wrote back saying your now exempt from the ULEZ charge..?
