hi all, I first rode a boxeye about 6 years ago when I took one out from a local dealer for an hour or so. I loved it but my wife...err...didn't. So I kept my bmw which I eventually sold back in September. I wanted something lighter and more fun with an upright riding position and a decent pillion perch without stupid power, I looked at the 2016 er6f or Versys but because of a big DIY project in the house at the moment I won't get the chance to ride much this year so it would be a heavily depreciating ornament. So I sat the other half on the back of a foxeye and while it's no armchair it's apparently much better than the earlier model. So now I've got a deposit on a 9,000 mile, 2 owner 'Deep Purplish Blue' ? (I see no purple) 2003 fzs600 which I should be picking up in a week or so. It's had more paint than I would have expected for such a low mileage bike but the bodywork is mint, it gives me a project when...if the house is finished and it'll not lose much value when...if I come to sell it for a new bike. I'll post some pics when I've got it. Apologies for the rambling intro, I'm going now.
Hi Red98, Thanks for the welcome, I may put that on my number plate 'It's more fun on a Fazer' you haven't copyrighted it have you?
But that's what the experts at motorcycle news called it and they're always right aren't they? Seriously though I know they're way better than that, which is why I decided to go for one. Hoping to take it to northern Ireland later in the year with the missis, she got family over there, we rode the A2 Causeway Coast road from Larne to Portstewart on the r1150r last year... awesome road but the bike was a bit big and clumsy on it, it should be more fun on the Fazer.
