Want long-ride comfort with your Liter-bike performance? You flipped to the right page. When it comes to long days in the saddle, dealing with heavy traffic and busted-up pavement-you might want to take a very close look at the Yamaha FZ1. A fuel-injected previous generation R1 20-valve engine tuned for even more midrange punch powers it, and the longer you look the more you'll be glad there's no plastic to cover its gorgeous aluminum frame and swingarm, those four stainless headers and all the rest of its high-tec armament. The beauty part is that the wide handlebar that makes the FZ1 camfortable also makes it a formidable weapon on the street; leverage and forward rider placement make direction changes happen instantly and confidently. And all the other high-performance tools are here too, including adjustable suspension, a 190-sectionrear tire and big, strong monoblock calipers up front working a pair of 320mm floating discs. It really is an R1 for the real world.
