The Yamaha FZ1 is a street motorcycle manufactured by the Yamaha Motor Company Ltd. of Japan. Yamaha also produces a smaller 600 cc version of this motorcycle called the FZ6.

Generation I (20012005)

2004 FZ1The FZ1 was produced for the United States in 2001. Models produced in the period 2001 to 2005 were known as FZS1000S, Fazer in Europe. They had a modified Yamaha YZF-R1 motor in a steel tubular frame. The FZ1 was carbureted and produced around 140 hp (100 kW) (108111 hp at the wheel). They were virtually unchanged over this period, except for different colour options. In some European countries the 2005 model saw the introduction of an exhaust based catalytic converter, albeit of a rudimentary design.

Generation II (since 2006)
2006 saw the introduction of a completely new model. The main changes included a new chassis, suspension, body work and a completely new engine, never seen before in the big Fazer. This brought the bike up to date with modern rivals. The new model has a 998 cc DOHC 20-valve R1 engine, which produces 150 hp (110 kW) (129132 hp at the wheel) at 11,000 rpm, set in an all-new compact aluminum frame.
