Frankly, I'm not thrilled about the '06 FZ1. I don't like the stubby can and the biposto seat look, but the FI should rock.
Funny thing about carburated bikes, air temp seems to make a lot of difference, at least when it's really hot, the performance dives a bit. With cooler weather and an almost empty gas tank this morning, I was popping up the front wheel about 6 inches in first gear without really trying.
