Generations:
Introduced in 1998 as the YZF1000R (Thunderace) with a full fairing. The Fazer 1000 (or FZS1000) emerged as a naked or semi-faired variant, sharing much of the engine and chassis components with the Thunderace, offering a more relaxed and versatile riding experience. Later generations may feature updates to suspension, braking, and emissions control.
Production Period:
Approximately 1998-2005 for the FZS1000 model. Successor models like the FZ1 (FZ1-N, FZ1-S) continued the lineage.
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily Japan
