The new FZ looks tight as fuck.

near as I can tell the intakes are literally to the outside edge of the headlights. this bike looks like a totally fucking sick beast that will just straight up RIP for street and track use.
do those dual projectors in there kinda remind anyone else of the XB12 firebolt in a way?

The regular FZ is unchanged. The FZR....nahh, don't like it. They went back to the older square swingarm, no undertail exhaust and a smaller rear tire. Not exactly "R" rating in my opinion

looks like we get blue, black, white and orange.

The white would look bad ass without those ugly ass red seats.

i like the black and the blue ones.. other ones look like shit if you ask me..

not a very good photochop, but you get the idea. Looks so much better without those crackhead red seats.

DLIT · 09-09-2008, 12:27 AM

I wonder how the red seats will look on my Raven. I proly don't have enough red on there though.

Its replacing the YZF600R that they discontinued in 07.

The R1 has a gear indicator now and a completely redesigned instrument cluster that looks badass. You can only see it in the video until they throw more pics up in the gallery.
