Years of manufacture and engine colours - Wallace - 19-07-22
Evening All,
I just sold my Aprilia and now looking for later model FZ1. I've had a good read through the forum-lot's of great information but can't find an answer to my question.
Am I right in thinking the last ones were produced in 2012? I'm looking for a blue/ white one but seen them up to 2014- old dealer stock?
Also engine colours- did earlier ones have silver ones or was it an option? I found a post about exhaust end can colours so that's a great help.
Thanks!

From more googling it looks like up to 2009 they came with both silver and black engines.
According to Wikipedia Gen 2s were produced up to 2015 but still looking to confirm this.

N, the FZ1 Gen 2 ceased production in 2012, many may have not have been registered until 2013 and 2014.
The FZ8 took over from the FZ1 and started production in 2011 and was in production until 2015 again some may have been registered after 2015
As far as I know all the naked ones had black engines and I think it was only the 2006 faired ones had silver engines, but the red 2006 one had a black engine

Thanks for this, it confirms what I thought about model years but seen them up to 2009 with silver engines. I didn't realise that the FZ8 was a replacement.

Not sure if these are just late-registered stock, I'll just look for a black one...

The American market may have different colour schemes and some were imported like the Gen 1 used to be

After a bit more research it looks like the FZ8 was a replacement for the FZ6 but still no definitive answer on engine colours.
