2007 Yamaha FZ1 Comparison
…pretty damn well. When the roads get tight and curvy the plush Yamaha comes up a smidge short in the scything department, feeling more akin to a sleek sport-tourer than a quick-turning streetfighter. After our street ride, test riders had plenty of good things to say about the FZ1 in terms of outright comfort…
2001 Yamaha FZ1
…is the 1000cc FZ1, a bike that's so barking mad it needs to be kept not in a garage, but in a padded kennel! Glenn Le Santo donned the leather straight jacket to test Yamaha's cure for suburban boredom. I've just returned from another insane afternoon spent aboard the fantastic FZ1. Excuse me if I…
2007 Streetfighter Comparo II
…the numerous videos accompanying this test. We also got the opinion of former 250GP AMA champion, current MOTO-ST competitor and Motorcycle Hall of Fame member Jimmy Filice. Our diverse testing fold included skill levels ranging from novice to professional road racer and riders varying in size from Jimmy's…
2006 Yamaha FZ1 First Ride
…found myself riding Yamaha's new FZ1 in a pounding rainstorm surrounded by the verdant fields north of San Francisco. Introductory press rides such as this aren't supposed to be sullied by inclement weather, and it was hard to imagine how I was supposed to adequately test a sporting motorcycle without any…
2005 4 3 2 Won Shootout
…comfy FZ1 would also have been a strong contender, but the bad-ass Kaw is closer in personality to our three-cylinder representative. If this were a race, the Speed Triple would use its honking midrange to out-accelerate the Z out of the corner, but would eventually get overtaken if the road ahead was…
2004 Yamaha R1 - Track Test
…Australian jail. We did ride the bikes on the road the next day, and I calculated hitting the rev limiter in first gear (101 mph) on the Highway would cost $2067 Australian in fines if caught. But I am going to stick to the track, as Kevin Duke is going to be testing the bike on home soil very soon. And, if…

2009 Yamaha FZ6R First Ride
…in some of the finest roads North America has to offer. Sunny skies graced us for the day of testing, though temperatures in the low 50s and high 40s made for some frozen extremities Despite the chilled internals, the new machined proved a formidable opponent for any twisty road one could put in its path…
2006 Yamaha FJR1300 First Ride
…condition isn't as bad as on the new FZ1, but it's unwanted nonetheless. It saps confidence at a corner's apex, and it's made more frustrating by a stiff throttle spring. Also, I noticed that forceful steering inputs during a particularly hairball stretch on an empty road induced a bit of chassis flex, perhaps…
2005 Yamaha MT-01
…to notice the 1,670cc air-cooled V-Twin that powers the MT-01.When Yamaha showed its outrageous MT-01 last year, the MCUSA staff couldn't wait to test one of the Warrior-engined naked bikes. Well, it turned out that we could wait, as Yamaha Motor Corp. USA declined to import it to America, citing a…
2007 Aprilia Tuono Factory Comparison
…"Suspension is probably the toughest category to judge in a test like this," says Chamberlain, who is one of two testers to participate in last year's comparo. "The road conditions change by the hour; freeway, canyon road, track, city streets, and test riders of varying weight are swapping back and forth at…
