Hi There Everyone,
I have just become a new owner of an FZ1S (2006 model), after accidently trashing my BMW R1100R!
My previous bikes to that had been a Diversion XJR600S then XJR600N.
The two Diversion 600's whilst nice bikes, in hindsight seemed to be 'top-heavy'; which I only really thought about after changing to the BMW.
I found the BMW to be a great bike to ride, and although a bit of a luxury for commuting to London, would not have considered changing it, so I was soul destroyed and mortified when I dropped it and 'KILLED' it... it was an old friend and like loosing a member of the family!!
This twist of fate however would now appear to have turned out for the good, as due to present finances I could not afford to or had even thought of changing the BMW.
So now, not wanting to be totally without a motorcycle... and after only a little research, I have found myself to be the new 'proud' owner of a 2006 model Yamaha FZ1S, purchased from A2 motorcycles in Gravesend!
I have only done about 200 miles on it so far, but am already very impressed at it's performance.
So whilst it's early days yet, I have a very good feeling that by accidently 'trashing' my BMW, I may very now be better off with the FZ1S... every cloud (in this case) may well have a silver lining!
