OldBlue Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I'm partial to the fz1, but that z1000 looks pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I like the 06 Fz1. Get rid of the plastic wall and bubble and it's sweet. Something seems off about the 07. The Vstrom reminds of Barney the big purple dinosaur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I like the 06 Fz1. Get rid of the plastic wall and bubble and it's sweet. Something seems off about the 07. The Vstrom reminds of Barney the big purple dinosaur.The 06's had an issue with the frame cracking!! and an FI issue. The throttle is reportedly very abrupt on and off the gas. The FI was remapped for 07 correcting the problem. anyone have an 06 that can confirm or refute this?The Stroms are fugly but comfortable as hell and good at all things. They are a little low on power coming off the Vmax though and I like power. Its in my name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 What are you looking to do with it mostly? tour?sportriding? if it is touring the fz1 is good for that and sportriding also. I also like the z1000 they have the same power as a fz1 with almost the same weight and riding stance. They just lack the option to turn it into a sport tour bike.
