Is Yamaha no selling the FZ1 fazer anymore ??
« on: 10 April 2013, 11:16:44 pm »
My local Yamaha dealer told me that Yamaha is fading out the FZ1 fazer....
 
And looking on the Yamaha UK website I no see it listed on there anymore..
http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/products/motorcycles/index.aspx
I can only see the naked fz1n
 
 
Is this the end for the 1000cc fazer .... :'(

I've been told that's actually true, they are dropping the FZ1 to promote the Fazer 8 which is popular over seas for some reason.

I guess the  £2200 cheaper price tag of the FZ8 is a big part of that reason... ;)
 
FZ1 fazer = £ 10,199.00
FZ8 fazer = £7,999.00
 
FZ1 naked = £9,199.00
FZ8 naked = £6,999.00

If it wasn't for my back problem which means the FZS1000 Gen 1 just got too heavy for me to lumber around, I'd still have one :lol
 
They are stonking bikes. Gen 2 thous are fine too,  but the 8 suite me best now, and I like it, but it will never be Gen 1 Thou.  Still, I'm gonna tkeep that thought a secret.....doh! :rolleyes
 
See, now everybody is happy.

What I don't understand is the price difference. What components on the 1000 would cost over £2200???
Absolutely mad they charge so much for the Thou'. If the 800 can be sold at a profit then the 1000could be way cheaper?
Just a thought.

Its back on the list, I spotted it whilst looking at the MT-09.

http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/products/motorcycles/fz-series/fz1-fazer.aspx

Guess the MT-1100 isn't ready yet, they are knocking out bigger tanks.

Er they still have the FZ1 Fazer listed...

FZ1 Fazer         = 9,799.00
 FZ1 Fazer ABS = £ 10,199.00

- http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/products/motorcycles/fz-series/fz1-fazer.aspxBut £9800 is still taking the piss, you can buy a car for that(http://www.mini.co.uk/model-range/hatch/mini-one/)
