ok the clunky gearbox, the appalling fuel economy, the annoyingly (twatish looking) upright ride position on a sunday morning blast, the buzzing instrument cluster and the really indecisive throttle response around the 1-4k is a bit crap, but hey-ho i'd rather these niggle than a bmw and a stiff stick up the bum, anyday :eek
halcyon days....enjoy

it is comfortable, just done 2400km from suffolk to varna, its reliable i jumped on it after kicking the front tyre and set off, its fast as fook - but you know this already :) it looks better (and i look better) than the motorrad wearing jockeys on gs's (pristine never been used gs 1200! there were literally 10's of them on the motorail from dusseldork to munich, another story...) and importantly, it sounds like a bike should....whaaa,wha,wha,whaaaaaa, whaaaaaaa(followed by a stupidly funnyily louder...WHAAAAAAAAA.... and then you shift up to 2nd :eek i love the fz1 - and you should too

Hi

ok the clunky gearbox


fully synthetic & a quickshifter ,


 the appalling fuel economy,


A good PC map


 the annoyingly (twatish looking) upright ride position on a sunday morning blast


rearsets


, the buzzing instrument cluster


draughtproofing strip


 and the really indecisive throttle response around the 1-4k is a bit crap,


as above a good map, no secondary flies & ignition module


 but hey-ho i'd rather these niggle than a bmw and a stiff stick up the bum, anyday :eek
