Which one should I buy, Yamaha FZ-Fi or Honda Unicorn 160?
18 April 2025 02:30

What makes the Yamaha FZ1 (1000cc Model) a standout choice among motorcycles?
17 April 2025 19:00

The Yamaha FZ1 stands out as a formidable choice among motorcycles due to its powerful and versatile engine, derived from the YZF-R1, which delivers 149.9 hp at 11,000 rpm and 106.8 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. This engine is tuned for tremendous mid-range punch and massive top-end power, enhanced by features like the EXUP valve system and a four-into-one stainless-steel exhaust system. The bike's lightweight and strong aluminum frame, which is 52% lighter than the previous steel frame, along with adjustable suspension at both ends, provides excellent handling and stability. Additional features include a sculpted fuel tank, a flat-track-style handlebar, and individual seats for rider and pillion, all contributing to its aggressive naked-bike design and versatile performance suitable for urban riding, track days, and sport touring. The bike also boasts a range of technological advancements, including a digital instrument cluster with multiple functions and optional ABS in some models, making it a well-rounded and high-performance motorcycle.

Is the Yamaha FZ1 (1000cc Model) suitable for riders of all experience levels?
17 April 2025 19:00
The Yamaha FZ1 is not suitable for riders of all experience levels, particularly beginners, due to its high power output of 150 PS @ 11,000 rpm and 106 Nm of torque @ 8,000 rpm, which demands advanced riding skills. The bike's aggressive riding position, lack of ABS in some models, and the potential for throttle snatch in earlier versions make it more appropriate for experienced riders who can handle its powerful and responsive nature.
What type of technology does the Yamaha FZ1 (1000cc Model) feature?
17 April 2025 19:00

The Yamaha FZ1 features a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 20-valve DOHC inline-four engine, derived from the 2004 YZF-R1, but tuned for better midrange torque. It includes a 40% heavier flywheel and revised balance shaft, along with new camshafts for improved performance at lower revs. The engine produces 149.9 hp at 11,000 rpm and 106.8 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. The bike also employs Yamaha’s two-way fuel injectors with secondary throttle valves controlled by a 32-bit ECU. Additionally, it has a cast aluminum die-cast diamond-shaped frame, telescopic forks with split damping, and a fully-adjustable rear shock. The bike is equipped with dual 320mm front discs and a single 245mm rear disc brake, and optional ABS in some models.

How does the Yamaha FZ1 (1000cc Model) perform in terms of acceleration and top speed?
17 April 2025 18:46

The Yamaha FZ1 exhibits impressive performance in terms of acceleration and top speed. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in approximately 3.01 seconds and from 0-100 km/h in just over 6 seconds. The bike can complete a quarter mile in about 10.55 seconds at a speed of 130 mph. For higher speeds, it takes around 6.48 seconds to go from 0-100 mph. The top speed of the FZ1 is measured at around 154 mph, achieved in fifth or sixth gear near the redline of 11,500 rpm. The engine, based on the Yamaha R1, produces 141 horsepower at the crank and 78 ft-lbs of torque at 7,500 rpm, providing a broad powerband suitable for both street riding and aggressive acceleration[5).

Can the Yamaha FZ1 (1000cc Model) handle long-distance rides?
17 April 2025 18:45

The Yamaha FZ1 can handle long-distance rides, but it has some limitations that need to be considered. While it is comfortable for shorter to medium-length rides, with a comfortable seat and riding position, especially below 70mph, it may not be ideal for very long distances due to several factors. The bike's seat comfort is decent but can become uncomfortable after about 35-50 miles, leading to numbness in the butt and legs. The lack of a large windscreen, particularly on the naked version, can also make long highway rides less comfortable compared to bikes with full fairings or large windscreens. In terms of fuel efficiency, the FZ1 offers around 35 mpg, which is reasonable but not exceptional for long-distance touring. The bike's fuel tank, while appearing large, is actually relatively small, requiring more frequent fuel stops. However, the FZ1 is highly capable in terms of performance and handling. It features a powerful R1-derived engine, producing 148hp and 78.2 ft/lbs of torque, and has a robust chassis with adjustable suspension. This makes it a versatile bike that can handle both highway cruising and twisty mountain roads with ease. For those planning to use the FZ1 for long-distance commuting or touring, adding accessories such as heated grips, a GPS mount, and integrated luggage can enhance its practicality. The FZ1 Fazer version, with its half-fairing, is more suited for distance work due to better wind protection. In summary, while the Yamaha FZ1 can handle long-distance rides, it is more suited for riders who prioritize performance and handling over pure comfort and practicality for very long trips.

So, what’s one thing you would have changed if Yamaha had to do it again with the FZ16 (FZ V1)?
27 January 2025 08:08
Had they given it a bit more power, I wish. It's great for city riding, but feels a bit underpowered on highways, don't get me wrong. 1-2 bhp more would have made a big difference.
Which is your favourite memory with your Yamaha FZ16 (FZ V1)?
27 January 2025 08:08
I remember when I taught my younger brother to ride on my FZ—it was the best. It was great to see him go from nervous to confident on the bike. The FZ was an easy handling and perfect for a beginner.
How does the Yamaha FZ16 (FZ V1) ride against modern 150cc bikes?
27 January 2025 08:08
That depends on what you're after. The FZ V1 brings a more connected riding experience. You are more in touch with the machine. Modern, or if you prefer, new bikes are the way to go if you want convenience and all the features.
Is Yamaha FZ16 (FZ V1) worth buying in 2025?
27 January 2025 08:08
It’s totally worth it if you can find one in good condition. It’s for a reason that the FZ V1 has its cult following. It’s comfortable, it handles well, and it has that special character you don’t get with modern bikes.
I have a Yamaha FZ16 (FZ V1). What's the best mod you've done to it?
27 January 2025 08:08
The best mod I’ve done, hands down, is installing a performance exhaust. The stock one is too quiet, and too restrictive. A good aftermarket exhaust really wakes up the engine and you can hear it nicely growl.
With the Yamaha FZS V4 Deluxe, does it really live up to the hype of being a 'city slicker's dream bike'?
15 January 2025 08:43
Overrated, in my opinion. To be fair, it's pretty to look at, but better fuel efficiency was what I was after. The city use of my old Pulsar was just as good.
What are the Yamaha FZS V4 Deluxe vibration levels compared to their predecessors and competitors?
15 January 2025 08:43
It's a single cylinder engine, still, but it's a smoother ride than before. Some vibration is part of the experience and some is inevitable.
Is the Yamaha FZS V4 Deluxe’s instrument cluster really useful or is it just eye candy?
15 January 2025 08:43
Once you get used to it, it's useful. It took me a while to figure out all the functions, but I don’t want to go back to a basic cluster now.
