New for 2010

• Sculpted bodywork and a comfortable handlebar position for great looks and rider comfort.
• Adjustable suspension lets the FZ1 be dialed in for a wide range of uses—everything from urban assault to sport touring.
Engine
• Compact design, 998cc DOHC 20-valve engine is tuned for tremendous mid-range punch and massive top-end power.
