The FZ1 Fazer may no longer be available, but it still has its fans. Yet newer naked bikes like Yamaha's own MT 10 contain more advanced technology and much more performance. The result is debates about whether the older FZ1 can still hang with modern competitors. There is a conversation to be had about the more traditional inline four engine character of the FZ1 versus newer crossplane designs, electronics, suspension, and overall riding experience. The FZ1 has fans on both sides; some like the raw, analog feel, some like the refinement and features in the other models. It often amounts to talk of comfort on long rides, fun while handling the twisties, and general versatility.
