ScubaCinci Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Z1000 is a nice alternative to the FZ1...GLWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Biggest mistake I ever made was selling my Superhawk 996. Paid 1500 for it, sold it for 2250, and even after having it for a year and making that I regret it. I want another one to commute on. If this didn't have chromes, I'd think about looking at purchasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Dude, Iam not sure on the FZ1, but that is sick and if it runs like mine... I dont get it (the trade). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshfz.2008 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wish I had an FZ1 instead of the FZ6 right now. I've always wanted one, and this looks like a very nice bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Dude, Iam not sure on the FZ1, but that is sick and if it runs like mine... I dont get it (the trade).I like the bike but dude it's not all that fast. I used to smoke my buddy on his all the time with ease with my R6.

wicked94s10 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I like the looks of the z1000 but have never ridden one. I'm open to the idea of it. I have always been a fan of the fz1. Its a great all around bike, i'm not looking to be the fastest. I go for distance more than speed. I like to put down miles and the fz1 is a good bike to do that on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I had an FZ1 (gen 1) for several years, they are great bikes. The Z1000 has some more low end, feels a bit more torquey but lacks wind protection where the FZ1 has moderate to good wind protection depending on the screen you have on there. The wind on the Z doesn't bother me until up over 80, then it becomes noticeable but not unbearable. You might check over on the FZ1OA forums, it gets a lot of traffic...might find some takers.

accel_is_my_drug Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have a 2006 FZ1 that I think I may have to sell soon. I'll know by the end of the month what my situation is. 13,000 miles, a few mods, Yosh slip on, PowerCommander V. New Conti Road attacks (bought and mounted by Hoblick on here at the end of March) with about 1000 miles on them. She is clean and has been well maintained... There is one pic on my profile here, and if I have to sell, I'll have a bunch more...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I just want to buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacchus Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I can't say a bad thing about either bike. I really like the power delivery of a twin, but the FZ1 has a very electric motor feel to it. I'd venture to say any current spec supersport or superbike will slaughter either of them, but if you wanted a racerep, you wouldn't be looking at the fz. The FZ is less fatiguing to ride than the 996, SV1k or the handful of Duc's I've ridden, but it just doesn't seem to have that wow factor after a ride, either.

accel_is_my_drug Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 What are you looking to get out of your Superhawk?According to the internet, which of course is never wrong, my bike should be close to 140hp at the rear wheel.(which I hope to fine tune and confirm next month if I can keep the bike...)..That along with 1 tooth down on the front sprocket will let me stay mostly side by side all but the most newest crop of literbikes.... All while being a million times more comfortable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I love my hawk! And just selling the xr puts me closer to wanting this for a everyday mode of transpo! I love my black one too much to abuse it 40 miles one way all summer. But to scoop up another would be the tits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
