It's the first time I've watched it since being a Fazer owner and I leapt out of my chair shouting "That's my bike!!! How frickin' cool is that!?! I've got the bike of a Yakuza nutter!!"

I found a clip on YT


Kill Bill Yamaha FZS600 Fazer Kawasaki ZZR250

What's the yellow bike then, some kind of Honda?

DryRob · « **Reply #6 on:** 28 November 2012, 05:31:57 pm »

I noticed the same when I watched post Fazer, I paused it quite a lot and concluded that the bikes weren't standard (wingmirrors, indicators, endcan, grabrails etc), I didn't realise they were a different bike but I suppose I still ruined that part of the film for my girlfriend.

Fazer 400 as His dudeness says. these were fore runner of the FZS 600 but with real lights. 2 H4 bulbs and which worked giving 2 heads and 2 dims. There were made in 97 and 98 with yamaha code 4YR common code in many the 600 spares.
I have the complete set in the Garage 1998 FZS400 (last of the 400 model) 2003 FZS600 (Last of the 600 models)and 2006 FZS1000 (Last of the 1000 models). Must post a picture of them when they are all clean at the same time.
The yellow bike is a Kawasaki ZZR400

& if you pause it at 1.21 you get a lovely shot of Uma Thurman's arse.. . apparently.

I met Uma Thurman at my work, and the top of her Victorian dress had been ripped and she'd been sprayed in oil

(I work in the film industry)

met her as in you were up a tree with a powerful telescope?

darrsi · « **Reply #12 on:** 29 November 2012, 08:03:34 pm »

No no, she'd been in with the make-up and wardrobe team in the room next to my department for about 90 minutes.
I said hello to her when she went in, then i must admit i kind of blushed when she came back out 'cos her dress was deliberately ripped showing quite a bit up top and they had kindly sprayed her chest with what looked like baby oil for good measure.
All in a days work.........

Is it just me, or at 34s, does the Fazer on the left grow a aftermarket exhaust on its right hand side?

darrsi · « **Reply #15 on:** 01 December 2012, 04:16:07 am »

Uma Thurman sprayed in baby oil, and you're asking about the exhaust?

yea its a twin exhaust. one going down the left side and one on the right. i've seen them on Japanese websites.

Nice mod! Shame we don't get that on UK models, twin exhausts on the Fazer would look pretty cool IMHO.

As for the Fazer in the film, there's one for moviemistakes.com! We get a clear shot of the swingarm at 24s, and there's no exhaust there. Yet in 10s, they manage to fit one! No wonder the Japanese are so good at engineering!!

Also, the bikes shift gears (audibly). Do you ever see anyone's feet or clutch levers move?

His Dudeness · « **Reply #19 on:** 02 December 2012, 03:01:44 pm »

Yeah I like the double exhaust as well. I think it balances out the look of the left side of the bike

ChristoT · « **Reply #20 on:** 02 December 2012, 04:24:02 pm »

I think someone with more time & money than I should have a crack at it! Looking at the downpipe design, the two right cylinder pipes merge together before joining with the 2 left cylinder pipes. Someone with a pipe bender and some welding gear could have fun there!

His Dudeness · « **Reply #21 on:** 02 December 2012, 08:57:16 pm »

i'd be surprised if you can't buy them somewhere

ChristoT · « **Reply #22 on:** 02 December 2012, 09:36:12 pm »

You're probably right for the FZS400. But I have a 600cc. Surely the cylinder spacing is different?

His Dudeness · « **Reply #23 on:** 05 December 2012, 05:24:17 pm »

here's a few more films the fazer was in

Nice link! The referencing is appalling though, several times it says that FZRs are FZS600s!!
