Hi guys. I'm looking at getting a fazer soon. Is it worth saving up the extra and getting a 1000? Is it worth it? There's lots of cheap 600's to be had out there but few 1000's......
Couple of things to bear mind when reading that Visordown article:It was based on the old boxeye 600 model. The foxeye has extras (like fully adjustable front suspension) and with a similar fairing looks every bit as good as the 1000 (IMHO)The enormous price difference at new is now much closer of course. Probably no more than £500 difference for similar age and condition.As others have said, it really depends on what you want to do with it. I love my foxeye 600, the ultimate 'all rounder'
I had a 600, then a 1000 and now back on a 600 again.If you aren't going through that 'bigger is better phase' then the 600 version is enough 95% of the time.Having said that, I do miss that bulging torque curve and berserk acceleration now and then... if only Yamaha had also sold a Fazer FZS 750
