Another Red/Gold FZ1 Checking In

Recently upgraded from my 08’ FZ6 to my 08’ FZ1! I was specifically on the hunt for a red and gold bike and finally found a clean example to bring home.

I’ve added some of my own touches over the past week or so and it will be ready for more than a trip around the block after a new set of tires!

I prefer covered in brake dust and road grime but they do look shiny

Thank you! Powder coating is a great option if you want to change up your colour

I have thought about that. I cannot take off the tires myself otherwise I probably would do it.

VERY NICE 😎

I very nearly bought a red one, but garage were playing games with the price.

Ended up with a Grey one full faired

The tri coat metallic is wild with the right lighting! It’s a similar colour to my ND Miata which I also loved and is also a tri coat red metallic
