The Yamaha FZ1 was a naked machine in Yamaha's range manufactured over two generations. The first generation comprised machines produced from 2001 to 2005; the second had models manufactured from 2006 to 2015.
In 2006, Yamaha launched the FZ1, also known as the FZ1-S Fazer, in the European market, which came with a completely different model than the first generation. In addition to the FZ1 semi-naked model, Yamaha also released the FZ1-N, a completely naked version.
The 2006 Yamaha FZ1-N was a naked machine without a front cowl like the FZ1 model and came equipped with a two-piece seat, a black-finished engine and frame, a bulbous fuel tank, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
In the technical department, the FZ1-N had the exact specifications as the standard model, with a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 150 hp with peak force at 11,000 rpm and 89 Nm (66 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
The engine power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a final chain drive, pushing the 2006 Yamaha FZ1-N to 247 kph (153 mph).
On the front end, the bike was equipped with a 43mm adjustable MotoGP-styled Kayaba USD telescopic fork handling the front suspension, while four-piston calipers with two 320 mm discs were taking care of the front stopping power.
On the rear, the bike had an adjustable Kayaba single shock absorber handling the rear-end suspension, while a single-piston caliper with a 245 mm disc took care of the rear braking performance.
