Wanted: FZ1 with ABS

[b1k3rdude]

Am looking for an FZ1-S (faired) w/ABS, these seem to be a bit thin on the ground and only stealers with the ridiculous prices seem to have any. I would like if it at all possible to find a bike thats mostly black so -

• engine
  
• frame
  
• wheels
  

I know these don't come up very often, but if you don't ask you don't get

bump.

Might be interested in selling mine for the right price, black engine, frame and wheels but Purple bodywork and is half faired.

[b1k3rdude]

sent you a PM.

Fazian's bike didnt have ABS, so I am still looking.

Updated the OP, removing the age limit but adding ABS.

So have looked at a number of FZ1's over the last few months - with ABS and (black - frame, engine, wheels) online. All of these bikes were a miles away, so I wasn't able to see any of them in person. not seeing any advertised in and around the south east at all atm.

• 2010, w/15k @ £5k, Red paintwork,  Wigan Yamaha - rusty header bolts/studs/flangesway and way over priced
  
• 2007, w/26k, @ £4k, Blue paintwork, Via-moto - very rusty header bolts/studs/flanges, and over priced.
  
• 2011, w/30k, @ £4500, White & blue paintwork, Norman & Birch - polished wheel rims, and overpriced (I did get offered a deal, but not enough)
  
• 2010, w/5k, @ £4200, Black paintwork, facebook, private - cleanest bike so far, owner sent me load of pictures, but owner turned out to be mentally unstable and refused to talk over the phone.
  
• Then there are trade sellers trying to punt 2012 bikes as 2014/15, artificially inflating the price to gouge the customer.
  
• And lastly there are the private sellers trying to punt bikes with missing master keys, bits missing off the bike, poorly modded or just plain nasty looking as they haven't been looked after.
  

So I am still looking for an FZ1.

I might be able to get my hands on a mint 58 plate red one with ABS (and very expensive braided hoses!) 15k miles.....If you're still looking, let me know via pm. I'm fairly sure it's got the racking for a top box installed too, but I'd have to check. It's as good as you're going to get. I went with the current owner to buy it and the bloke selling was anal. It's done bugger all mileage in the year or two since and he's thinking of selling.


I don't get on here much, but hopefully the pm system will send me an email - I've pm'd you in case it's the same that end  :lol
