Yamaha FZ1

The Yamaha FZ1 is a naked bike made by Yamaha in Japan, known in Europe as the FZS1000 Fazer. The first generation, from 2001 to 2005, had a tubular steel frame and a carburetted engine modified from the YZF-R1 and stayed virtually unchanged apart from colours. In 2006 it became a different machine: a cast aluminium diamond frame using the engine as a stressed member, new suspension and bodywork, and a 998 cc 20-valve engine of about 150 bhp taken from the 2004 to 2006 R1 and retuned for midrange torque with a heavier flywheel, softer camshafts and taller top gears. In Europe it was sold as the semi-faired FZ1-S Fazer and the unfaired FZ1-N, with optional ABS and a fully faired GT version with side bags. 2015 was its last year in the United States, and Yamaha replaced it in Europe with the FZ-10 or MT-10.
