So I've been shopping around, asking around and researching for a new bike that would be an adequate replacement for my old 98 Bandit 1200.
Well I found it and dropped my down payment on this:
2002 Yamaha FZ1 with 25,000 miles. I couldn't pick up today but the guy is holding it for me until I can get out next weekend to pick it up. Paid 1/2 now half at pick up, Bill of sales are signed and once I get adequate transport or a clear day to ride it, I'll be back out to pick it up. $2500 was the final price we negotiated to,. Comes with a set of brand new tires and the stock exhaust. Tires will need to be installed, tires that are on it now are ok... Front is starting to cup but the back is solid and still round, both have good tread depth, Manufacturer stamp says February of 2011, so the tires are good enough to ride it home if need be. I'll be swapping the front for sure ASAP and burn the rear off in few thousand miles aka a month of ridding
.. Fresh oil, filters and coolant change. Fresh rebuild on the carburetors with recent receipts of work and parts. Brakes, chain and sprockets have adequate life left. Super clean bike and it really needs nothing.
Bike does have a little bit of road rash on the right side but the rest of the machine is in great shape. Wasn't 100% sold until I rode it WOW! 85mph in first gear necessary!?!?! -1 tooth on the front with a speeod healer is in the cards right off the bat! The thing runs so well though. Started right up with little choke and held idle without choke just seconds after the start. Yoshimura stainless exhaust, sounds awesome... I was sold when I got on it and twisted the throttle. Freaking awesome!!! Rides very similar to my buddies FZ6's however more power, more weight and seams to be better built for long rides out of the box. Bike other then the exhaust is all stock.
Not perfect but hey it's a beauty of a bike for the asking price. Had to strike when the iron was hot. And now I finally got my hands on a sport tourer that's is equal to or more then capable of my old B-12!!!!
!!!CANT GET THE SMILE OFF THIS GUY'S FACE!!!
