Is the Yamaha FZ1 Fazer a good first bike for a new rider?

No way. Buy a 650 twin or something first. If you are inexperienced, the FZ1 will get you into trouble real quick.

It could work, I think, if you're really careful. At low RPMs, the power is very manageable. You just don't want to go crazy on the throttle.

Bad idea. The FZ1 is a handful sometimes, even for experienced riders. Start small, learn the basics on something smaller and work your way up.

It’s not ideal but it’s not impossible. Take a good riding course, practice in empty lots, and wear full gear. If you're smart about it, you can make it work.

Terrible first bike choice, nope. Start off with an FZ6 or something similar. In inexperienced hands, the FZ1 is just begging for trouble.

Yoshimura all the way. Nice sound, not too loud and decent power gains. It also looks sick on the FZ1.

I love the Akrapovic system, I am a huge fan. The quality and sound are unmatched but it’s pricey. Really wakes up the bike.

There is no need to go for a full system. For half the cost, a good slip on like the Two Brothers or M4 will give you 90% of the benefit.

I went for the Delkevic system and I am very pleased. It's sounds great, way lighter than stock, and didn't break the bank.

The stock exhaust isn't terrible honestly. Just save your money for suspension upgrades. In either case, they'll make a bigger difference in how the bike rides.

Whatever you get, don’t forget to get a Power Commander or something similar to control your fuel. Almost all aftermarket exhausts need a remap to run properly.

I love my Arrow exhaust. Not obnoxiously loud, but has a nice deep tone. Looks clean too.

The FZ1 has some great options with Scorpion. Good value for sound, performance and price.
How does the FZ1 Fazer stack up against modern naked Bikes such as the MT-10?
10 January 2025 07:47
Objectively, the MT 10 is better in almost every way, but the FZ1 has something that is special. It’s more raw and connected.
How does the FZ1 Fazer stack up against modern naked Bikes such as the MT-10?
10 January 2025 07:47
I've ridden both and the FZ1 is more than enough bike for the street. Unless you’re going to the track regularly, the MT-10 is overkill.
How does the FZ1 Fazer stack up against modern naked Bikes such as the MT-10?

The MT-10 has way safer and easier electronics to ride fast. Traction control and riding modes are the game changers.

FZ1 all day. Easier to work on, simpler, and still plenty fast. On top of that, you can get one for a fraction of a price of a new MT 10.

The power delivery of the MT-10’s crossplane engine is much more exciting, and it sounds way better, too. The FZ1 feels a little bland by comparison.

The FZ1 Fazer I would take for touring. On long rides, the half fairing makes a big difference. It’s more of a hooligan machine.
How does the FZ1 Fazer stack up against modern naked Bikes such as the MT-10?
10 January 2025 07:47
They're different beasts. The FZ1 is a sport tourer, whereas the MT-10 is a straight up super naked. Depends on what you're after.
