Yamaha FZS1000 For Sale

Insurance Costs: 10 of 10

Current Prices: £3,000–£2,100

What Is It?

The Yamaha FZ1 is a premium semi-faired sports bike and is powered by a liquid cooled 998 cc inline four engine, producing 143 bhp at 10,000 rpm and maximum torque at 7,500 rpm.

Features include:

Steel tubular frame and Aluminium swingarm
Dual 298 mm discs up front with four piston calipers
267 mm disc at the rear with single piston caliper
Adjustable 43 mm fork with 140 mm travel
Adjustable rear shock with 135 mm travel
Four 37 mm Mikuni sidedraft carbs
Yoshimura 4->1 exhaust system
6 speed gearbox

It's basically the same engine as the 1999 R1 but re-jigged slightly for more power lower down, with slightly smaller carbs, a heavier flywheel, smaller clutch, 10% heavier crankshaft, Aluminium rather than Magnesium cylinder head cover, smaller radiator and re-designed airbox.

It all adds up to a heavier but easier to use bike for the road and the faired version is £400 more. The 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and 180/55 at the rear.

Colours: Black, silver, red, blue, red/black

2004-2005: Blacked out engine and frame, new ECU and new exhaust to meet new emission standards.
