FZ1

Yamaha's FZ1 packs an R1-derived 998cc inline-four into a sporty upright chassis — the Fazer-style half-fairing on the FZ1S model adds highway wind protection that the fully naked MT-10 does not offer. Discontinued after 2015; the MT-10 replaced it in Yamaha's big-naked lineup, and used examples at $4,500–$7,000 are the most accessible route to R1-derived inline-four power in a comfortable everyday riding position.
