R1 launch night (the other Friday...) - SV650.org

28-01-07, 02:55 PM

As some of you may be aware, I (as did many others,) attended the new R1 launch nights will were held simultaneously around the country...

Apart from the very nice looking (IMHO,) new R1, another machine very much caught my eye... Looks much more 'user friendly' than the R1 too...

The new-shape naked FZ1...

Does anyone know much about 'em

Nice bike

No idea what they're like to ride but they look the dog's danglies.

Well, apart from the exhaust anyway, jury's still out on that one.

I think I've got a couple of bike mags with reviews that I could try & scan & email to you if you like Cloggsy...

No probs, I'm off work on Tuesday so I'll have time then to look through a few back issue & scan 'em.

I knew there was a reason I keep all my old copies of Bike, TWO etc!

I only ever buy 'RiDE' now TBH... That is going down-hill a bit too

From what I've been reading the only complaint is the snatchy fuel injection.

I know I like it

Does that help?

Haven't ridden the new one, but have been looking at how feasible it'd be to part ex my 6month old SV for an older one

Very nice looking bike imo.
