First of all, Hi!
I'm definitely not new to motorcycles, but I'm going to be picking up my first FZ1. Got a couple questions
-First, am I paying the right price?
I'm looking at a 2006 w/ 35k miles. PC3, Yosh slipon, retro kit added, custom done cushy seat, and some usual stuff like Puig screen, frame sliders, shorty levers. Dude is asking $4200. Been well maintained, but valves have never been checked (have any of you found valves to be out of spec on these bikes?).
-2nd, is there an easy way to swap between euro(naked) head light and stock front cowl? I'll be doing a lot of local riding (want to be naked) but also want to put the front cowl back on for touring.
-3rd, how does the longer wheel base effect the ride?
I'm coming from a CBR600RR and lots of track riding/racing. I hear the FZ1 is a bit longer and can be felt in the corners. Is this accurate?
Please, if I'm posting in the wrong forum, inform a mod to move this. I've been searching on the site a little bit and have already answered MANY of my initial questions.
Thanks for reading
