Hey all,
I am in the market for a 1st gen FZ1 and I'm trying to see if one I am looking at is worth the money.
The ad for the bike is here: 2005 Yamaha FZ1
The owner is asking 5k for the bike without all the touring parts, but I think his price might be a little high. I have seen some others in the local area for 4k or best offer, but this seller has installed new tires and put a new battery in, and has meticulous maintenance records so I'm not adverse to spending more money to ensure I get a good running bike.
With the CF GYTR exhaust, new tires, battery, and CF fender you are looking at at least $700 in extra cost, so I would think $4500 would be a reasonable price. What do you guys think? Does it make more sense to find one for 4000 and do the mods myself?
