New here ...... probably.

I've been member of so many forums over the past years I may or may not have belonged to this one in the past. I've recently purchased a Y2K model, having switched to an 07 FZ1. I find I don't want to ride the Yamaha anymore. I really missed the v4 characteristics, and Honda smoothness!

The Yellow Honda is all stock, with a seat cowl included -- no broken tabs! I don't particularly like the cowl and plan to sell it. The only mods planned are a sargent seat and perhaps heli-bars.

Welcome to the World. I ride an '04 FZ1 gen1. I find it a verry strong,capable, fun bike. If any Viffer would drive me away from it, it would be gen 5.

 

Welcome Tom. There are losts of memebrs here from the SD area. Look them up. The ones I have met are great guys so long as they stay medicated.

 

Thanks -- The FZ1 does have considerably more power, but it takes high revs to wring it out.

It's nice to have both available!

Randy -- I hope to get to BC someday , was in Toronto a couple of weeks ago, travelled across Canada to Sault Ste. Marie.

 

Well if you are ever out this way look me up for a ride or a beer. Not that I like beer or anything like that.

Keep an eye out for Slo 2011. I've been to two of them and they are great time with great people

 

Welcome aboard
Also, excellent choice in motorcycles!

 

Wow that's crazy because I'm thinking of going the other direction and trading my vfr for a fz1.

Anyway welcome aboard!!

 

I became disillusioned with VFR when they dropped the geared cams and added "V-tech" but then finally came to a decision to get another Y2K model and make it last. Another consideration was the high-frequency vibration with the inline-4 of the FZ -- it took the fun out of longer rides due to my hand/wrist problems.

 

welcome to the madness. i don't like yellow vehicles. the only exception being the yellow vfr. ride safe!

 

Meh, I don't like those, especially that color. Here is what I have instead...
