FZ1 chasing R1

[femanvate]

I'm looking at an FZ1, but only a quarter of the speedometer is legal in my State.... and there are no closed courses like this nearby (winks)

[elgin700]

Great Video. Thanks For Making It.

[femanvate]

closed course my ass.....wait I think everyone already said (or thought) that.

Sweeeet vid btw. I also commute to work on a "closed course" ;)

[eagle94haslanded]

that is one sexy road.

[KobudoKai70]

yeah fz1 best all rounder on road,goes hard,sounds good,comfy,corners well,brakes are awesome.got heated hand grips,ixil pipe,k&n and lock up box !

[boston85018]

never breaking the law till ya get caught if they can catch ya right

[thenobody]

Thats an FZS not an FZ1....

[rocknfzroll]

@thenobody It IS a USA model yamaha 2002 FZ1 (1st gen.). Maybe they're different here.

[thenobody]

@rocknfzroll Aye, my fault (Quote vom WikiPedia: "Models produced in the period 2001 to 2005 were known as FZS1000 Fazer in Europe" - I'm from Europe :D)

[kawasakikillerr]

I love my 02 fz1!! Such a beast Great vid, I

Need that road!

[deimens]

Dude, your shit. 

[docs200patil]

was it chasing or followinnggggggggggg,,,bro????­??

[jgevader]

Nice road, nice video, good drivers...and a lot of explosive horsepowers controled!

I like it; My next bike=Fazer FZ1

Best regards from Spain!

[MyChib]

What do people think about the body positioning of the R1?

[sk8ererpunk5000]

im so jealous

[matthias2986]

how do you like your fz1? im thinking about buying one, looks like a great sport touring bike =D i bet its a torque monster huh? looks like you and your friend there had a hell of a time, there is a road like that where i live but much less trafic tons of fun!

[psittacid]

@matthias2986 My FZ1 is a torque monster, all right...at about 7000rpm. The low/mid is pretty tame, but both power and torque jump from 7-12k. It's a good commuter that hauls ass when you rev it a bit.

[matthias2986]

@psittacid i ended up buying one about a month ago, i love this bike, 0-speed limit in like 2 seconds aint bad if you ask me, 0-highway speed with zero effort, only problem is as soon as you start getting on it, your speeding so whatever, its plety fast enough if you ask me and its very comfy, i took it from daytona to palm coast the first weekend i had it and was comfortable the entire way =D

[matthias2986]

@psittacid arrrg, i meant daytona to tampa bay, not palm coast, it was like a 3 hour ride each way,

[surf403]

CLOSED COURSE MY ASS!! Whats with the cars then??  Yeah, thought so!

[Shumshedi]

What a road, where is this road ?

[dkparamore1]

Looks like the one on the fz1 is a better rider to be able to hang with the R1...whats funny the weakest part of the fz1 is the cornering ability and that is where he is keeping up with the R1. It should be the other way around, well all the way around.

[crlarsen17]

Looks like Hwy 178 to me. Great road! Thw cops are cracking down on this road now though. Great video!

[rocknfzroll]

@crlarsen17 DING DING DING! We have a winner!!

[rocknfzroll]

@crlarsen17 DING DING DING! We have a winner.

[Greg71090]

[evotorres]

hahahahaha closed course,,, thats what I said all the time

[coolasad2k]

hahha closed road!!

keep rocking the FZ!

[KantosK1]

Damn nice road.

[dopestghost]

haha, "closed course", smart move! =)

[mozart553]

Love the video. I almost had an 03 fz1, but wasn't approved for the loan :(

[heybulldog13]

looks like east tenn man, and closed course my ass, my fz1 will eat many a bike with a good rider

[Altmaster]

Nice video, but some seriously crossed up riding there.

[Altmaster]

Nice video, but some seriously crossed up riding there.

[guggsdugrass]

good that the music is not too loud. but better it was deleted.

nethertheless its a good video

[svenniboy1994]

a bit boring after a while, but still very nice video :)

[ZmannR2]

lol, closed course my ass!

[jenniferalls]

Damn nice vid......

[rocknfzroll]

@jenniferalls Damn nice to hear it. Thanks! ; )

[jenniferalls]

Damn nice vid...

[agosta22]

De q año son las motos son mas ama

rgas

[rocknfzroll]

@agosta22 2002 FZ1 & 2002 R-1

[addvali]

A lot of guys around here shoot their riding videos in "Mexico"

[towerselgitano]

gay

[sbaldwinus]

come on guys, this is route 129!!!

[rocknfzroll]

@sbaldwinus Negative, but not too far away.

[oneydee]

2nd gen Fizzers are vastly superior!

[cjmcatch]

yeah right closed course... and you only broke the law if the police can catch you! FTP

[pancakeessss]

closed course my ass ;]

[triumphiztation]

Closed course??

[jabbaba]

nice to see fast smooth riding that dont look plain dangerous for a change.

[ltishish]

It's a 2002/2003 R1 mate, it has a sidepipe and the sleek looking tail light.

[MrGanaedwards]

He's not following an R1.... the r1 has twin pipes in back with a triangle shaped light..

My bet is he's following a yzf600r/Thundercat.

[duken4evr]

Nice lines and riding by that R1.

[SAEvelynJr]

Closed course my ass....

[rpadilla99ish]

@SAEvelynJr that's why they stayed on the right side of the road right? ;)

[thepopularjock]

@SAEvelynJr

I agree but I don't blame him for putting it up.

[grahamzx9r]

Great riding lads, why do the mags, say the fz1 is a sloppy handler, looks fine to me!

[eoghanhennessy15]

becoz the mags ride better! sloppy is relative to them, they mean not as good as a race bike by sloppy lol!

[slutster5]

because the fz1 doesnt have as much of a lean angle that is the only problem I have found with my 2002 fz1

[puremutt]

Maybe it's just closed to law enforcement. LOL

[puremutt]

LOL!! Good video but the best part is when it says that is a closed course! With oncoming traffic!?!?!?! LOL!!!!!

[chisolm5]

Looks an awful lot like Highway 7 in Arkansas. Am I close?

[Parubhi]

Closed course my ass.

[henrymarkstewart10]

lovely road, but where is it?

[electricmess82]

fun video. where is this road...?? beutiful and twisty.

[ChiefMugambu]

No laws broken??? Speeding, passing on a double yellow to name a couple. Closed road??Did those cars just drop out of the sky? Not bitching, but why bother with the intro non-facts?

[cruzdrew]

Looks like low risk fun. Thats what I like!!!

[ybnved69]

closed road my ass there is cars goin past

[zeusprp]

indian roads rock.....jai maharasthra!!!

:-P

[lucaccio717]

THAT S SO SLOW RIDE WHAT THE HELL IS THAT

[StLucifer85]

sorry i must of missed your lightning speed run on your fazer.... maybe you should repost it

[TehBrizon]

'tard. These guys are layin it over dude. Can't go much faster on this shit.

[humanmoron]

yeah nice!!! great road nothing like that in chicago

[MasterOfPuppetsFZ1]

Where did you get your camera mount i cant find them

[SpursSamuel]

it clearly isnt a closed course cause theres still cars on there

[MrHolck]

Thanks Captain Obvious.

[glanzbo]

Zing lol

[ybnved69]

very true

[sawazed]

nice roads. i heard oregon has some great roads. i live in washington state and would love to head down there some time.

[mobdeadmeat]

Great road, nice rides, but the hell that was a "closed course"...lol Thanks for posting the vid...:)

[kevbelz]

what kind of speakers did you mount to the bike, they sound great?

any idea where you could mount an lcd for the kids to watch dvd's? that would help me go faster.

if you could kick some of the cars off the closed course, you might no have to pass them while blind turns are approaching, (just a bit safer IMHO).

[moa1999]

Sweeeeeet closed course:-) I have a 60 mile loop right out my back door thats just as nice but with virtually no traffic. Next time your coming to Oregon give me a shout.

[shaunpapanuihigh]

wicked vid tho

[ksw2599]

The song is Rebel Yell, I forgot the name of the band. Maybe Children of Boredom.

[ksw2599]

the original song is by Billy Idol, I believe

[ElQuesoGuapo]

The song on the video is the original Billy Idol. *sigh*  Kids these days...

[Bomel11]

Goile Strecke wo ist die ?

ts## geschlossene strecke mit gegenverkehr lol

[phipe666]

whats the song name? greez

[arkane200]

Children Of Bodom !!!!!

[SilverSteelBunny]

What year of FZR1k had a digital tach?I have a 94 and would love to upgrade my dash cluster.

[SilverSteelBunny]

Oh thats a clock?

[shaunpapanuihigh]

that is the 2001-2003 fz1 i have one. except i ride mine faster than this guy does

[BBFazer]

@shaunpapanuihigh Yeah sure. I have an FZS 1000 too and have not been passed in corners yet, but it doesn't go much faster then on this vod. Maybe the driver could have a bit more speed in the corners if he hang of a bit, but thats peanuts in cornering speed.

The thing is: The R1 driver probably is exhausted, as the FZS driver is more realaed at the end. (it realy rides very easy)

[hameschmier]

lol, closed road.. thats why they drive all the time on the right side of the road ;)

[edugunit]

essa moto é muito loca!!!!!!!!

[britty67]

Whoever closed the road didnt do a very good job?

[fatony26]

who was riding what? just curious. great riding on both bikes!

[Ghido695]

Great video!! And what a wonderful road...

Thank you for posting it!!

[vergemol]

Nice road, nice forest, nice riding (not too mad) !

[djosersex69]

what is the name of this song ????

R1 rules !!!

[rocknfzroll]

Rebel Yell, compiments of Billy Idol.

[djosersex69]

Thanks !!!

[SPHINX144]

Nice riding--both safe and fun--and even better road.

[mbpaypal]

Keep it on the track, douche.

[dazzassti]

Great vid, nice safe riding being sensible but still having a huge amount of fun... good riding too... and WOW what a cracking road... ace would love to have a down there... sweet!

[i8acid2day]

Great Video! tho you really dont need a soundtrack in the background. the motor revving is music enough.

[Devilsyam]

cant beat a gen 1 or them roads git's lol

[PJFZ1]

HAHA!!! Nice Vid Tommy!

[Jamez300]

Great Video shows true performance of FZ1

[adoniscomplex]

What year is the FZ? I think I like the analog speedo better than the digital one.

[rocknfzroll]

2002!LiquidSilver

[MarsSentinel]

i woulda spanked both of you...learn to ride squids....seriously.

[HawkGTboy]

People like you are why I ride alone.

[jmt256]

I second that!

[fordman32508]

someone better go arrest those drivers since they snuck onto a closed course!! lol

[hawkrider996]

Looks like highway 60 near Suches in north GA. Or maybe NC??? Anyway LOOKS LIKE A BLAST!!!!!

[ikemat]

Nice road, but closed course, my arse... if it was closed, (1) there wouldn't have been traffic on it going the other way and (2) they wouldn't have stayed in the right lane on the left handers...

But again, nice ride.

[HellaNupi]

Rebel Yell is the name of the song

[teamwarlord]

Great video, where is it.

[rocknfzroll]

You both have (private) messages ; )

[teamwarlord]

I am stuck in the north west corner of Missori now but try to get down to the Dragon on 129 at least once a year. The next time I will run down and try it out. I have about 2000 miles on an 06 FZ1 so its ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[590064]

I second the other post, closed course my ass.

[590064]

And, ya'll are what gives bikers a bad name.

[rocknfzroll]

Why? Does it look too courteous and safe???

[kalikaputra]

Mate if your not trying to kill yourself you won't satisfy some of the kids on youtube. Why worry about them enjoy your ride and live.Oh close circuit my ass :) Does a bear shit in the woods and wipe its ass with a fluffy white rabbit?

[vampov]

I got a FZ1 it's fun to see kids tell me you can't out corner them and then I blow my friends with R6's out of the water. Comfort and cornering.

[rocknfzroll]

;) I couldn't agree more ;)

[atlantiax]

closed road my ass

[estis420]

NICE VIDEO - The cost for riding a road like that in Calif can cost you a fortune lol(if your caught)lol...

I would pay money to ride this road, it looks almost perfect.

[rocknfzroll]

it really IS almost perfect :-)

Thanks for watching!

[Dankelly64]

So what road is that? If you don't mind my asking.

[twagn]

It's raining out so this a good way to ride and stay dry

[Suidakkra]

Man that looked like a nice ride. Nice vid man thanks for the teasing :)

[yozoo]

[pucksdown]

Rearsets?  I didn't hear any scraping from that 1st generation FZ1. I need them on my 2nd gen. Pucksdown

[rocknfzroll]
