This isn't a "car" but I just picked this up today!



It was a leftover 2012 that I got a pretty sweet deal on. Traded in my '09 V star 1100 on it.

Really wish I wasn't in the break in so I could romp on that 12k rpm redline lol.

It's a Yamaha FZ1 if you can't read it on the fender

Break it in hard, that's what I've done with all my bikes.

I'm pretty much breaking it in per Yamaha. I've given it a few good pulls in a higher gear though to help the rings seat.

Yamaha makes great bikes. I was looking at the FZ1, but I could not upright the bike (I'm not strong enough!). I went with an FZ-09 which is a sick bike. I hope you are enjoying your FZ1! MC are loads of fun.

My brother bought a fz-09 after riding the fz1. Ive ridden his for a short bit and it is a sweet bike!

I'm really enjoying the fz1 also. We both found out insurance on either of these is stupid compared to the cruiser we had.

Comfy??? We must have drastically different definitions of comfy. On the plus side, I bet it's fast.

I suspect he means comfy in comparison to a real crotch rocket.
