What did you do with whatever else you've got?

im a little fed up of my teeth being rattled out on less than perfect surfaces.

It's a shame your view of the FZ1 has been coloured this way. I reckon there must be something seriously wrong with the suspension still, and wonder how you'd find a stock one if you tried one? You are the first person I have heard criticise them so harshly.

Yeh it has been pissed about with so much for track riding that it isnt enjoyable on small roads.


Ive maxed out the compression on the front shocks yet theres still too much travel left even with my fat carcass on it....they've been uprated too much & sometimes the rear is jarring.....but on the A44 which is quite smooth, big corners it is quite nice.


Speed is excellent, noise, looks, bling factor are all good but the overall riding experience just isnt there......i feel like im really trying to ride around its haarshness and that ill probably be far better & quicker on any smaller but normally specced up bike.....i've done over 6k miles on it now & im still not happy.


Slim is the man to try it out...much lighter than me and well used to his FZ1 now.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
