Might be coming back
« on: 04 October 2017, 03:00:20 pm »
 Looking at the Fazer 8, couple nice ones out there. I'd lose my license in about a week if I even thought about an FZ1. Not been on here for a few years as I've been in the world of Triumph (Bonneville 1st, now Street Triple R) but 600 Fazer was my 1st big bike so always had a fondness for them.

 Based on my 2000 600 Fazer then my later 2006 FZ Fazer6 I'm hoping the Fazer 8 is from the same stable. I've read it's the perfect mix between the 600 & 1000.

 Any advice anyone?

 Well what can I say, used to be a friendly lot in here.  :rollin

 Anyway despite being ignored for my Triumph betrayals I've stuck down a deposit on a 2013 Fazer 8 with 12k on the clock so I'm off over to that forum now.

 Hoping the bike is all I anticipate it to be.

The Fazer 8 is indeed an excellent bike. The only thing I found dislikeable was the standard exhaust, far too quiet.
For me, I went with suspension upgrades front (Andriani) and rear (Nitron) (personal preference) K&N filter, scorpion serkit silencer (works better with db killer) +10mm higher bars and a gel seat insert.
150 miles to a tank, plenty of torque and goes ballistic at 7k and comfortable enough for a 400 mile day, what more do you need.

This is a quiet area on the forum that many people forget about.
Enjoy the Fazer and join us in the General pages when your ready to resume the fun and games there.
