The "FZ1 Naked" may sound a bit on the weird side for riders who know Yamaha's bikes, but if you look closely, the European version of the FZ1 is indeed benefiting from some additional weight shaving, as the lower panels in the front section have been tossed altogether. This move only makes the FZ1 even more aggressive and helps it live up to its R1-derived fame.

Add in 150 hp, massive high-end torque, an aggressive yet upright position and you've got the overkill urban slicer you can ride every day to work and even use for overnight trips with some luggage accessories.
