Why as Americans can we not get some of the cool bikes from Europe, case in point the fz1n. I would buy this one.

Maybe I'm going blind and crazy but that just says 1991 FZR1000. What am I missing ??
That said, it looks pretty nice, seems to take forever to get to 140 mph though. Today's 1000cc sportbikes get there in 2 blinks of the eye.
Of course the FZR is probably more comfortable for all-day riding.

My bike already has all those goodies. Except for radial brakes but mine work just fine.

Thatkid, Yes your bike is super cool. But just in case you were in the market for a new or newer bike with FI, then a street fighter is the way to go. But the big three Japanses manufacturers limit what the brings us. Which I think is unfair. Triumph and Ducati have great street fighters that US customers can buy, but if you like Japanses bikes, well.

I dunno, it looks pretty damn good.
But if I had to get another bike at this point it would probably be a recent Aprilia RSV-R 1000 Factory. They're pretty damn expensive but really nice. Actually if you look at their website, it looks like Yamaha actually copied their SHIVER 750 design, even the TUONO looks pretty similar to that Yamaha. Of course it's probably less expensive.
