Magazine Articles:
MCN -- June 2006, page 12 -- Yamaha's 2nd-Generation FZ1
"Eventually, it was decided that a new FZ1 would have the greatest appeal if its high-performance orientation was sharpened -- made closer to the R1 -- leaving the FJR1300 to fulfill the sport-touring role, eliminating any showroom confusion. Although some of us might disagree with that decision, Yamaha is convinced that more Americans will want what the new machine offers." -- Dave Searle, Editor-in-Chief
Rider -- May 2006, page 40 -- Leaps & Bounds
"We ran our 2006 model on a Dynojet dynamometer and compared the results to our previous runs with the last-generation FZ1. Rear-wheel horsepower is up by six ponies to 131. This can really be felt in the top-end rush -- the bike was powerful before, and now it's truly a screamer. Peak horsepower now arrives at 11,500 rpm instead of the prior 9,750, but with a ferocity more akin to the R1." -- Ken Freund, Senior Editor
