A Y Plate 600 with just 1900 miles on it!!!!!

Stop shouting first :pokefun

Compared to the P plate CBR you will find the wind buffetting you around a lot but in terms of performance, the Fazer will be just as quick and stop even quicker (if the brakes havent seized).
Things to look out for on the FZS600 are few and far between. If it seems a bit vibbey, it probably needs the carbs balanced or the TPS reseting. Neither are big jobs.
Downpipes rot very quickly and the headlights are shite (square light model) but easily fixable (dual light mod or HID's). Apart from that, not a lot goes wrong with them.

Given the age and mileage, if you do go for it, I would suggest a good look at replacing the tyres and a good service but apart from that, enjoy!

Fzs600 should have more midrange vs the CBRs top end charge. Not a lot in it to be honest, the FZS should be more comfortable, tho that depends on if you're a lanky bugger like me or not!

considering that this is the 1000 section i would of thought that the comparison would be a 1000 not a 600,so a 1000 will have a lot more midrange and top end
