Bandit 1250S is the most beasty of any bike. It has like 100 ft lbs of torque at 4500 rpms. Or something crazy like that. It's one of the most beasty of any inline 4 cylinders ever made in a production bike, in terms of low end torque. It's the new liquid cooled Bandit, with about 109 horsepower. I'm guessing, the Bandit is WAY more fun to drive than the Fazer, because people complain about the Fazer being low on torque. The problem is, the front end on the Bandit doesn't look nearly as good as the Yamaha. I wish Yamaha would have put a 1250cc engine on the FZ1, and made it have 100 ft lbs of torque.

Insurance company here. Many things are calculated into an insurance premium and rates. First and foremost, you're driving habits (tickets, accidents, etc.). That part of the rate is pretty standard no matter what you ride/drive because we're insuring you against hurting someone else. Next part is the actual vehicle/motorcycle you're driving. Propensity to be stolen, crash parts, cost, demographic of a partuclar bike's rider style, etc. all figure into the rate. Typically, you don't see squids with mohawk helmets on Fz1's. They are on the Gixxers, CBRs, Zx's Busa's, etc. Also, rarity does come into play. Just like it's baby brother the Fz6, the Fz1 rider typically isn't a new rider, has years of experience, and is a more mature rider than the supersport counterparts. Finally, just the overall propensity of a bike to be damaged in a crash. Fairings are god awful expensive and anything with a fairing is going to be more expensive to insure than it's naked counterpart. Heck, one of my previous bikes a Burgman 650 cost more to insure than my Fz6 did even though the Fz was a rocket compared to it. Reason being is all that plastic would be ruined in a tipover accident whereas on a Fz6, you might get a few scratches on the pegs and maybe a blinker assembly. Bottom line, we know how fast a bike is. What we care about however, is how that speed is being used and who's straddling it.

1st gen Fz1 (like the one in this video) has more torque in low to mid rpm than the second gen version, introduced in 2006. That's because the engine from 1st gen R1 has smaller bore & longer stroke compared to next gen engine. That made the 1st gen Fazer engine more gutsy but it wouldn't spin as much as the second gen Fazer. Inexpensive Ivan's carb mod improves low to midrange power even further. I hope that helps.

I have one and it really does have a little something for everybody. It's not gonna keep up with an R1 but it's still a lot of fun in the twisties and a lot more comfortable.

I owned a silver 03. I traded it in on a Road Star before I killed myself! Mine ran 165. When you snapped the throttle open in first the front came up shifting to 2nd at 70 3rd at 90 4th at 110 then the front would touch and stay after you passed 120 and that's with my 275 on it! That's never touching the rev limiter!

I got an 02 fz1 like this and they are def sleepers. It's got the 1999 r1 engine in it with some slight differences like gearing and bore. Got mine with 32k miles for 1800 and Its got 35k on it now 4 months later, and I couldn't be happier with it. If you've got the opportunity to get one of these go for it, they are $120 a year on insurance :p I'm 20yo too so this bike is jesus for me.

Kind of like when I went from my 98 zx6r to my 03 sv1000s and insurance was almost 1/4 the cost. The sv is every bit as fast as that ninja, but definitely way more torquey off the line.

I disagree. The biggest insurance sleeper is the Gen 1 and 2 Aprilia Tuono. They practically started the factory streetfighter. An RSV with with a handlebar, minimal plastics, V-twin power and low maintenance costs. From 2002 through 2010 these bikes can be had for less than $4k. Waaay more overall performance and less weight than the FZ1 your speaking of. Spend a bit more and get a Tuono "Factory" and you got something. Plus, the Rotax twin will go well over 100k miles. As far as insurance premiums go, it's more about documented accidents than power to weight ratios and top speed.

FZ1 !!! I knew it! Tried to get my hands on one 2022 summer! People kept beating me to the sale! Settled for a Yamaha R1 2001 model! I’m ok now! I can live with an R1 in mint condition & low miles 6,100 miles!!!!

The catch is: suspensions, frame and weight when compared to a supersport. That said if you only ride on the street it's probably much better to have something like this instead of a R1 and you can get them cheaper.

Full exhaust and SISF tune on a Concours 14 is the ultimate sleeper. FZ1 was probably the best all around bike of the early aughts, they kinda ruined it with the reduced range and racier ergos of the second gen.

I bought a mint silver 2005 a few years ago. Fastest bike I’ve owned by far, and was comfortable for me being a big and tall guy. I ended up selling it because I added a Honda ST 1300 to the lineup and the FZ sat too much after.

What people have said here, I have had 600cc motorcycles cost MORE than 1000cc motorcycles to insure simply because the stats for crashing and being stolen were more than the bigger bikes.

They are cheap to insure, because I just looked for one for sale in my local area, and the owner is a 79 year old man, and he has a giant luggage rack mounted to the back of it. I asked him why he was selling it. He said he is too old. I did a quick quote for insurance for a Hayabusa and it is $280 a month. Basically they want you to pay the full price for the motorcycle, in insurance premiums. Something doesn't seem right about a Hayabusa costing $300 a month for insurance. I've never seen a young punk kid on a Hayabusa.

@Ryan M both wrong, this model has 143 bhp at the crank, while the second generation has 148 bhp. The second generation revs higher & is a little lighter, but the first generation reaches maximum torque in lower rpm's.
