Correct # of wheels.
Correct # of fairings.
Two too many cylinders.

But finally an FZ1 that doesn't look like dogshit.  Naked means naked.  Naked does not mean wearing granny panties like the FZ1 usually does.

I like it.

Great quote.

It is clean.  No wires.  No fairings.  No mess.  The radiator looks as good and intergrated as a radiator can.  The exhaust looks tough.  The headlight isn't over the top or ugly like the recent Ducati naked bikes or the B-King.  I like the bike.  I like this view.

I love it.

I think they did a pretty good job, it's a pretty bike.

It's almost something I'd swap for........ Almost.

Saw it on Hell For Leather, quite nice.

If you live in the US never.  They only sell the butt-faced twin FZF here.

That's a bummer. I'd love to see that bike here.

Fixed for you 

I can make fun, my pops has one.

Looks like a very formidable motorcycle. Very nice no matter how many cylinders it has.
