Took the FZ1 to Deal's Gap
I finished off the break-in period on the new FZ1 with a 3-day trip to Deal's Gap and the Cherohala Skyway this past weekend. The bike was comfortable, ran flawlessly, and averaged 48 MPG for the 727 mile trip. One tank returned 51 MPG. Neither of us got bit by the Dragon and the weather was great except for Sunday. There was a light rain and very thick fog at around 5000 ft. elevation on the Skyway.
Here's a picture of the bike at the beginning of the Tail of the Dragon, one at the overlook, and one of it and my buddy's VFR at the other end.

I won't argue that though I have taken care of the suspension part already - huge difference.fade said:
My issue was being on the low side of 5'8" and the reach was just a little beyond what I wanted. Wonder if a Corbin or Sargent would take care of that.
Oh, thanks Vern, that's some good unbiased input from someone who has owned both - not like some other fella roaming around this forum.
Could a had a green bike if I wanted, but I didn't want a green one.Tom Bozeman said:
