VEHICLE REVIEW

2010 Yamaha FZ1

The fact is that Yamaha has barely finished bringing the 2009 FZ1 up to date with all of the ideas that they had regarding it. So no more than a year ago, we witnessed the introduction of what Yamaha likes to call their “ultimate street brawler,” a machine powered by a 998cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four; DOHC, 20 valves engine, pretty much the same one that you’ll find on the previous YZF-R1 generation. Fuel injection has seen its way on the FZ1 ever since 2006, but the big news a year ago was the aluminum frame designed specially for the bike that turned out a little more versatile that we ever expected it to be. Yamaha calls this a supersport motorcycle and with 150 hp at 11,000 rpm and 106.0 Nm at 8,000 rpm, we won’t bother contradicting them, especially being aware of the blast that this thing can be in the hands of riders who have long exceeded the ghost rider phase of their riding trajectory and feel like riding a comfortable and still very powerful motorcycle that can prove both efficient when commuting and relaxing when touring with the always present comfort of knowing that the front wheel is touching the ground only because you want it to. The 2010 Yamaha FZ1 comes to perfect its reputation with better throttle response in the low to mid-rpm range as a result of the revised ECU mapping. This should make power delivery more linear and, overall, the bike more predictable and user-friendly. Still, the FZ1 isn’t what I would call a starter’s bike because of its R1 genes. But one thing’s for sure: the 2010 Yamaha FZ1 would rather choose the track than get its tires dirty and the bike’s entire bodywork shows it. It does look like “an upright R1,” meaning that it appears as an aggressive two-wheeler from whatever side you’re watching it. You get that sharp FZ1 nose, but the bike’s face is actually dominated by the big headlights and decently-sized screen. Nothing has been redesigned for 2010, so the seat is as sporty as ever (not necessarily an advantage if we consider that people do ride hundreds of miles per day on these things) and the 4.75 gallons fuel tank is as curvey as always. We like how the radiator and all the blacked-out mechanical parts look on the FZ1, but also the FZ6-style frame housing the source of all fun and excitement. That is mainly because of the Raven and Candy Red colors available for 2010 and the fact that these are furthermore stood out by the gold wheels and fork arms.

Standard Features

Powerunit Engine

Compact design, 998cc DOHC 20-valve engine is tuned for tremendous mid-range punch and massive top-end power.
Fuel injection with computer-controlled sub-throttle valves provides precise fuel/air mixture for superb power delivery across the entire rev range.
Closed-deck cylinder block provides great strength while allowing a narrow engine in spite of big, 77mm bores.
Narrow-angle five-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient 11.5:1 compression ratio.
Carburized connecting rods with fracture split big ends produce a quick-revving engine with excellent high-rpm durability.
High silicon-content ceramic-composite cylinder lining reduces friction and maximizes heat dissipation for consistent power delivery.
Four-into two-into one short-style exhaust system with Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®), a stainless catalizer and oxygen sensor. Delivers outstanding power throughout the FZ1's broad rpm range while meeting all emissions regulations.
Race-inspired curved radiator with twin ring-style fans keeps everything cool under all conditions.

Chassis and Suspension

Aggressive chassis geometry with Supersport inspired 51 percent front wheel weight bias. Provides quick and nimble handling.
Short 4.76-gallon fuel tanks allows the rider to move into a forward position. Rider forward ergonomics move the rider into a position of great control.
Cast aluminum frame uses the engine as a stressed member. Allows for optimal rigidity, light weight and superb handling.
Stressed-engine design holds the engine in place with six mounts, for excellent vertical stiffness and handling.
Controlled-Fill (CF) aluminum swingarm. Lightweight and tuned for excellent handling and tire grip; looks great, too.
Fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork and a single shock with adjustable preload and rebound damping. Tunable for sport touring or track days.
320mm front discs squeezed by monoblock four-piston calipers up front and a single 245mm rear disc serve up strong and consistent stopping power.
Removable subframe for easy maintenance and detachable passenger footpegs for even more stripped-down style.
Light, five-spoke wheels and fat radial tires, including a 190/50-ZR17 rear, complete the look and serve up the traction.

Additional Features

Half-cowl fairing design features aggressive eye-catching naked bike profile.
High-tech instrument display features analog tachometer, digital speedometer, dual trip meter with miles on reserve function, odometer, water temperature and lights for neutral, high beam, low fuel and turn signals-also a fade-in lighting feature with adjustable brightness.
Two-piece seat serves up great comfort.
Passenger grabrails provide passenger comfort while maintaining an aggressive appearance.
Durable O-ring-sealed drive chain provides longer chain life.
Dual 12V 60/55-watt multireflector headlight features a sleek, profile for superb aerodynamics and visibility.
Standard toolkit located in convenient storage compartment under passenger seat
