techno Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Year- 07price - £6000mileage - 3700full mot and recently servicedExtrasfull exhaust and 2 brothers racing canradiator gaurdhigh screenrear setsfull lower fairingsstomp grip on tankcrash bobbinsAdded rear lugage rack and top box.I always wanted one of these but could not afford when they were new so when the blade finally had to go it was an easy choice what to swap it for and I am not dissapointed 95% of the blades strrengths and non of its weaknesses!The bike is all day comfy even without its predecessors one peace seat, the tank is alittle smaller at 17 litres but will easily do 150+miles between fillups unless on the isle of man The brakes are more than adequate till you hit silly speeds but it may just need a pad cahnge, the abs works really well and has come on a few times when needed and isnt intrusive!The gearbox is a little clunky but once again this could be down to the rear sets putting the push rod to the box at a different angle but its fine when on the move.Now the engine, what cani say its a peach it will pull from nothing can be short shifted and kept below 7k for most normal riding conditions, 6k is 90 in top and it pulls so well you believe you have another gear, however hold a gear to the redline and it is blisteringly quick without you realising there is no step in power its just so linear. For the first time I have a bike that i have no idea what i would replace it with it is truely a great all rounder would I have another yep in a heart beat, if sportsbike make you ache you couldnt do much better than one of these as a replacement!

techno Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Tbh at my age not too different it would seem as my mate who has an r1 pays similar to me a couple of hundred quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamytimeEscorts Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I had a 2007 FZ1n. Brilliant bike, loved it.Well, didn't love it enough, actually. I had it 5 years and put less than 8,000 miles on it and knowing how much money it was losing sitting-doing-nothing, I reluctantly sold it last year though I see yours is in the 3k range!Brilliant bike.

Nick the wanderer Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Looks like matey has bar risers on his, the pic above. Maybe you need something a little more upright. Edited April 1 by Nick the wanderer Auto correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
