Practical and then some...

When someone says a bike is practical, what do most riders instantly think? Boring? Well, here’s a challenge for the cynics; take this practical motorcycle, spend a moment looking and feeling over its lines and angles, then take it for a blast… and see if it doesn’t get the adrenalin pumping. The thinking man’s R1, the FZ1 is one of those rare and very special motorcycles that combine stunning performance with real world usability (that P-word). Available in a faired (FZ1S) or naked (FZ1N) guise, its formidable powerplant is a torque-tuned version of the legendary R1 supersports engine, in a superb sports touring package of suspension, ergonomics and geometry. FZ1… practical plus.
