The FZ1 is compact for a 1000cc bike, and this means it is accessible even to those who stand less than six-foot tall. With the upright riding position, wide saddle, motocross-style bars and lower footrests, the FZ1 is much more comfortable than the R1. The half fairing looks small but it does a great job of deflecting the wind off the rider. The bike's indicated 160 mph top speed would give your neck muscles a very hard time without it.
