Beemer Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm not sure about the droopy candle look. Looks a little too 'FLASH GORDON' for my taste. Those lightning bolt shaped side moldings coming down from the tank and headlight, ugh! I wonder if Richard Simmons is on their design team.

fooschnickens Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I saw one of these next to an FZ-09 the other day at my dealer and I gotta say, while they are damn similar looking, the FZ is just plain better. I think it has to do with Suzuki not going whole-hog into the naked look. Trying to make it look like a partially-faired bike just doesn't flow right and I could see that "droopy" look when comparing the two head on.

I have to go back for some parts on Monday so I'll see what the sticker said for pricing. It looks like they locked down UK pricing at £8999 base £9499 ABS, which is basically $14,000/15,000. Seems kinda high for the big brother of the bike that the community has given a resounding "meh" review for in recent months. Though I guess that's the literbike tax more than anything else and the US typically sees lower prices than a lot of other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything over 10.5k is going to push me right to a left over z1000 or something of the like for less than 9k f*** that. Suzuki has lost there minds that's super duke territory.

Suzuki has lost there minds that's super duke territory.Yeah I started looking for what the 750s go for over in the UK. It looks like their MSRP is £7499 which is $11,800. It seems that this is just another case of things being way more expensive in the UK vs the US. I would wager both flavors of the 1000 will come in at bit over $9000 based on how their pricing works.

jeremy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 That is a very sharp looking bike. Well actually most of the naked bikes appeal to me. What drew me in to the yamaha world is a friend with a naked FZ1. If yamaha beings a factory naked FZ1 in to North America I will be the first guy in line. And with tnr current naked trend here, it makes sense for them to import thrm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0k3yiii Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 price is up on the website... 9999.99 and they are offering up to 2200 cash back. i doubt that will go for this bike but it falls in exactly the price range i thought it would with a little haggling this puppy will be in the garage soon!

fromthecage Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The styling doesn't 100% speak to me, but it does share similar styling with my new distraction (848SF). I'm just curious to how it rides and the power delivery. Are they keeping it detuned for a sport litre bike or letting that engine do it's job?

Premium Member yamahappy74 Posted August 23, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 23, 2015 I would really like to know what the price point is going to be. They're being very tight lipped about it, even now, in August. EDIT: Nvm. I saw the MSRP on Suzuki's website. $10K isn't bad, but I think I'll keep my FZ for a couple of years and buy a used one, or maybe something else; who knows. The blue is fugly, but the red and black looks sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromthecage Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm honestly not a fan of Suzuki's red/black scheme. I personally like the blue/white scheme. I really like the MotoGP livery on the new GSX-R's with that blue/yellow scheme though I would never actually buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member username Posted August 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 25, 2015 The bike probably performs like a champ but as far as looks go the headlight and the zig zag front panels really ruin this bike. This might be wrong but people usually go with naked bikes for looks correct? Or is there a benefit of the nudist bikes over aerodynamic fairings?

thomascrown Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Waiting to see if Yamaha will be bringing the R1S, or some supernaked version of the R1 out for 2016. If not, I will be pulling the trigger on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
