RIDE HI Spotlights the Yamaha FZ1 (2006-2014), an Inline-Four Naked Built on the YZF-R1

A big naked with an R1-family inline-four — if the used price is within reach, this is a bike I'd seriously consider.

The FZ1N and FZ1S — I'm curious if there's any difference beyond the fairing, it makes me want to look it up.

Hearing 'naked with an R1-family engine' makes me curious how it compares to something like the Hornet 900 or Z1000.

Since it's explained from a used-buying perspective, it probably covers specific points to watch out for when purchasing.

Produced from 2006 to 2014 — a long run, so I'm curious about the year-to-year differences across those 8 years too.

The FZ1, a big naked packing the YZF-R1's inline-four — it's an interesting idea, adapting European urban-sport philosophy for the domestic market.
