Ive always loved the FZ1........if they ever send us the euro spec version I'd seriously consider buying one. That looks like one fun bike especially hooked up like that.

Looks like someone snuck into the MV Agusta plant at night and stole the plans for a Brutale.

Default headlight is NICE

I like traditional headlights too, especially the double-round ones like on Triumph, but one thing I don't like about some headlights is the fact that they set out too far from the bike... once again like Triumph.

I like this one on the Yamaha because it fits and makes sense with the gauges above. It actually fits nice and flush.
You can acually purchase this set up from Yamaha if you have an FZ and want to convert.

Bike is nicely done thougth IMHO...

I have been thinking about trying to set my FZ1 up in a way that is easy to go from the stock fairing to something with a headlight set up like the Buell Lightnings. Set it up so I can change back and forth quickly for touring or colder weather.

I always said if I wind up buying this bike [US model] that I'd try to find someone with the Euro style who wants to swap body parts. Who knows, someone is Euroland might like the US version.....

Just an aside: this has to be close to a record, 15 entries and still no V-4 tangent....
