Drawing on the same 1,000cc fairing-less street
bike theme as the FZ1, Bezzi imagines a Yamaha with a forward-tilted V4 motor
that has an almost perpendicular cylinder arrangement, and is capable of being a
platform with worldly appeal.
In addition to the
salacious V4, the Ti exhaust system looks like it came straight off a GP bike,
with a canister both under the tail section, and coming out below the left
rearset. Oberdan stretches the likely tight budget constraints Yamaha would have
on such a bike by including both Brembo calipers and a carbon swingarm on the
VZ1 (not to mention the partially carbon frame).
