Fazer

I had one years ago. The guy that sold it to me told me to take my time and get used to it before I opened up the throtle I just laughed and said it wasn't the biggest bike I had ridden I got dressed up for the cold (Ohio at the time) Went out to my regular stomping grounds, looked right, then left, hit the gas and WTF I was trying to get / climb back on so I could get my wrist where I could get off the gas So, I took my time and got used to it before I opened her up again

oem i will have to keep that in mind when i get her on the road.

[XS1100_OEM4ME]

oem i will have to keep that in mind when i get her on the road.

yeah i sure it will as it has 99 horse and only weight 450lbs

[XS1100_OEM4ME]

Horse's

Not just the horse's, 5 valve per cyl, 10,000+ rpm, 6 speed trans, down draft carbs. hold on

yeah i sure it will as it has 99 horse and only weight 450lbs

That's quite a find. I remember when they came out I thought they were the slickest looking bike on the market. Classic Motorcycle Mechanics just did a nice article about those bikes. As much as I liked them, appearantly the public prefered the GSX-R-750 and the GPZ750 and they outsold the Yamaha by quite a bit. There must have been something about those 5 valve heads as Yamha still uses that layout in the FZ1, R1, and the Fazer (in Europe). Pretty impressive H.P. comes out of those 998's

[old_skool]

What?? those old 750's produce a 100 horse power??

Mini V Max

I have owned all 3. The V max (except 1st year model and the new one) is slower in the qtr mile then the XS1100. That Fazer will kick both in the butt
