Hey Shane, still windw shopping lol.
After having spent the summer on the Tracer 900 gt in BC my opinion I have totally warmed up to the bike.
Hands down the biggest change to the bike was to get rid of the stock tires and go with roadsmart 3 tires. Otherwise it was a comfort seat, lower windscreen, gps and phone mount.
I am loving the bike now. Very comfortable, fast, and has just the right amount of "gizmos". I ride in A mode with traction control off all the time and it's a blast.
You really should take mine for a day run before buying anything...

Hey Bud,
Glad to hear you are enjoying that bike and they are pretty sweet.
Window shopping for me is over - put a deposit on a 2001 FZ1 and picking it up this weekend. Looking forward to the change of pace.
But a TracerGT may be in my future one day!

Thanks - not my pics since I don't have it yet, but it's a very well maintained, one-owner bike with a bunch of upgrades that are very useful for me. I know very little about these bikes, but everything I have read seems like it's a really good match for the type of riding I do.

Sweet! I love the riding position on those 1st gen bikes and they are awesome for high mile days. Should be a good fit for you.

Congrats and welcome to team Yamaha.

An FZ1 is a bag of smiles to ride -- your'e gonna love it. A riding buddy has one, I've taken hers for a spin a few times -- you'll not be doing those big sweepers WOT anymore.

Picked it up last night and it's in mint condition, like practically off the showroom floor without a mark on it. Owner had a binder of all the work done, with adjustments and settings detailed out too.

Really looking forward to it and that's a big reason why I bought it. Just ordered some fresh Road 5 tires for it and I'll be ready for spring!

No cheap tires for that girl -- RP5s gonna be $500! TIP: spend the extra $20 on the RP5GTs - for me they added 50% more miles to the tire life, they don't flatten out when mile munching and nobody I have met can feel a difference in wet or dry grip.

That's a good tip and changed my order for $40 more but all good. I don't mind buying the Road 5's. They are amazing tires.
