Steve Parish gets an FZ1S
« on: 29 April 2013, 08:52:50 pm »
I follow Steve Parish on Twitter and today he posted a photo of him picking up his brand new white FZ1S. I wonder if he will join the forum  :)

well it certainly is interesting move, as tbh the FZ-1 has quietly been forgotten by the bike press. The oft desired fazer mk 3 has no signs of appearing ....so to me its an odd move ??
I would welcome SP here, he was  a big m8 of Barry Sheene,and an excellent racer in his day , and I bet he has plenty of tales to tell !  :lol

The FZ1 is probably the most powerful naked bike and that to me is its what it is about. Put some extra goodies on it and its even better.

i'd have thought the k1200r and k1300r to be a more powerful 'naked' bike.
is it clean enough?

Aprilia Tuono v4r is the most powerful naked. I've got one ;)
If it's broken, it's not fixed.
