It is true. Most liter class bikes can do that.

Don't know if it was the posting I had done on Team-BHP for this bike that you got details or from any other source but hearty congratulations to you on the purchase !!

I have had the pleasure to ride along side captain and his FZ1 and I know the way he pampered his bike, He has picked all the best possible after market parts for his ride and I am sure you are enjoying them right now...

Ride safe and don't forget AGAT

Thank you viraj. I got the details from gsferrari through the ninja 650 owners group. Captain did maintain the bike very well. I've ridden ridden SBKs with 5-8 thousand kms on the odo which felt like 50-60k done bikes. These bikes were mostly grey market bikes bought by rich kids to go to coffee shops and flaunt. All they do is depress the clutch and rev the bike to grab some attention. All show no go types. Captain's bike on the other hand had 17,000 kms on the odo and felt almost like a new bike. No Knocking, no rattles, no wobble and nothing fishy. It was all clean.

My first ride on his bike was a 1.5 kms ride. It's a short one, but good enough to close the deal. Being a pilot, he must have maintained all the checks on time like he does for the flight before takingoff

ATGATT - Check.

Someone asked why 4cylinder 600cc aren't the norm yet in India. Apart from intimidating Custom duties, you ought to consider riding perspective too.
I owned one (CBR 600rr) for 2years in Dubai, so from a riders perspective , (just my opinion, without offense to anyone) if one thinks this is a regular office-errand-home commute bike then gravely mistaken. The usage of these is totally for a different purpose. Tracks are the rightful place for these machines provided your desire is to learn(practice) CORNERING, and follow your passions(track events). Else, on our regular India roads they are simply a hazard and not worth the money. I have seen the track near chennai, safety standards are very poor. Don't know about the Buddh circuit.

Naah Viraj. He invited us to come along with him as pune was enroute to hyderabad. The following morning he was wanted us to drive along wiht him to pune to pick the bike but we were planning to leave mumbai in the early hours of the day. We took a detour to lonavala to see some landscapes and we lost some time there. Called captain once we reached pune to check if he picked the bike. Captain informed that the showroom is not open yet. Did not want to loose time again so we decided to leave. Maybe during my next visit to mumbai I would drop by to see his new ride.

Thank you :-)

The bike was detailed last weekend and it looks new now. Took extra care to make sure the detail is bang on ;-)

The list of mods and DIY info would be on a detailed ownership thread thats going to come up soon.

This is a street bike. Super Bikes do a bit more than that. Last I recall, a ZX-10R in '05 or '06 guise could do 172kmph in 1st

Congrats

Could you please post more (monsoon) pics like the ones quoted?

[DocRock]

Congratulations, your Bike looks great, its good to see and hear about true riders who care about Riding.
By the way what exhaust is that?
Can we have some video clips of you riding and the exhaust note.

[ku69rd]

Congratulations mate, FZ-1 is a good choice in the liter class and needless to say one of the most practical bike you can ever buy legally in India. Keep rolling and ensure you keep the rubber side down.

Cheers!!!

Thank you sheel. More monsoon pics coming soon. Maybe after we take the bike for a spin. We planned for a spin last weekend but I had to go on a different ride. Maybe the coming weekend.

Are you sure about that? I doubt if any bike can do 172 kmph in first gear!! That way, considering the gearing the top speed of the bike will be way beyond realistic limits. But if thats true, these are some kickass machines!

Have never done above 50 in first gear (Karizma) on a downslope
