Yamaha FZ1 heads into this Road Sport comparison the most seasoned model. Aside from ECU tweaks, it’s unchanged from the last time we compared it way back in in 2. Yet, the familiar Yamaha more than holds its own in our Road Sport test. The opposite is true amongst its new Road Sport competitors, where the half- faired Fazer flaunts its semi- naked styling – foremost being the eye- catching exhaust headers up front. The FZ1 sources its engine from the pre- crossplane R1, with a dual overhead cam 2. At 9. 98cc the Yamaha is the smallest displacement in the test. It’s also the most oversquare powerplant, with a 7. This edges the Ninja 1. Honda and BMW, which enjoy a more than 2.

FZ1 makes up for its torque deficit by revving higher. It screams well beyond the competition, revving more than 1. Honda and BMW, and 2. Suzuki and Kawasaki. It’s slightly more difficult to tap into the good stuff on the Yamaha than the deep torque- rich wells powering its rivals. We also note that where the power delivery was defined as electric back in ’0. ECU updates. While it does need to get milked for the good power up top, once wound- out the Fazer’s Four wails. Rev up the tach and there’s a terrific zing from eight grand onward. Get that engine spun up and it’s right there with the Ninja and BMW, but the problem is they are a wee bit faster.” “Every time we did impromptu roll- on tests, no matter what gear we were in, the Ninja and K1. It sounds cool, feels cool and hauls butt. That’s a recipe for success.” The Yamaha’s top- end powerband is the polar opposite, in this test, of the low- end biased Suzuki. And where the Suzuki feels easiest to ride, some of our riders felt the FZ1 requires a little more work. Test riders laud its smooth gearbox and surefooted engagement of the cable- actuated clutch. The clutch is really good, the tranny is spot on and it feels like it is damn near perfect for the street,” declares Gibson, who abused the drivetrain with more than a few chain stretching wheelies. He also found the gearing ideal for hanging with the big kids. The brakes are free of any the electronic aids, like linking or ABS, found on its competition. Instead it’s direct, precise modulation at the lever from the dual 3. Where the FZ1 felt heavy and sluggish in past showdowns against nimble streetfigher foes, the opposite is true in this test. In fact, the Yamaha was the lightest of the Road Sports with a 4. It feels steadier in the corners than the Kawasaki, and while the BMW is a more stable mount, the Yamaha proves far more responsive to rider inputs. Aiding performance in the twisties is a sporty suspension package, with a three- way adjustable inverted fork and preload/rebound- adjustable rear shock. Both are sprung well for an aggressive pace, and the FZ1’s neutral handling and upright riding position make it both easy and comfortable to attack curvy asphalt. Riding position is comfortably upright, with a slight sporty lean. All riders enjoyed the handlebar contours and placement. Yet the Yamaha lags somewhat in ergonomics thanks to its seat. Most test riders couldn’t agree why they disliked it, only that it rated last with almsot all our riders pegging it as the least comfortable. It had the best riding position for me at 5’8” tall. The bars have a nice bend, plus I like the way they look compared to the clip- on style of the VFR and Ninja and way better than the cheesy chrome bar on the Suzuki.” The FZ1 knows what to do when the road kinks up. The suspension holds up well to high- speed cornering attacks. The grab rails were good too.” Despite sporting the highest- revving mill, the Yamaha registers the best fuel efficiency (3. This ups the versatility factor, and while it wouldn’t be the most comfortable touring bike, it could be pressed into service with some soft bags and bungees. Appearance- wise its lacks some of the flair of the more expensive bikes or the modern, aggressive lines of the Ninja (the Suzuki looks old, even though it’s new for 2. The instrumentation and switchgear doesn’t stand out either, but they exude practicality. We particularly dig the large, easy- to- read digital speedo. Riders get a lot of bang for the buck with the versatile FZ1, more than five grand less than either the BMW or the Honda! A potent, high- revving engine and sporty chassis deliver exciting road performance, while a lowest- in- class MSRP gives it even more appeal as a practical mount. One thing’s for sure, the familiar Fazer now has us looking at it in an all- new light.
