Those that did respond to this Poll (so far), demonstrates the Fazer appears more desirable to the "upper" end of the Age scale. I imagine choosing the Fazer for its conventional styling, proven reliability (with "intermediate" performance - not blistering yet no slouch), plus easy to work on design.

Perhaps its also the "naked" thing, with the younger generation preferring the sleek brightly coloured fully faired, sports machines, over having everything visible and on display.

Was expecting a much wider spread, however the law of averages indicates the trend already displayed, will be the overall outcome.


Maybe also influenced by the absence of electronic wingdings (traction control/launch control/anti wheelie/riding modes etc etc etc), and that you have a half decent chance of keeping it on the road yourself without the use of a laptop/diagnostic software etc etc etc

I got my foxeye in 2010 when I got my divorce & money from sale of house, all I knew was I wanted to get back on 2 wheels after a break of 12 years, a mate of mine suggested I bought the bike of her boyfriends dad as he was retiring from riding at 75, so without seeing the bike paid £1500 for an 02 600 & rode it back from Kent to Portsmouth.
Loved it straight away although I found it hard work on longer runs/rallies with bike club.
it developed a problem where would rev freely but in gear wouldn't get above 60mph. after deep investigation my mechanic could resolve the problem. so I bought CBF1000.
love this bike too but as I am about to come into some money am looking at swapping to Triumph night storm in april :)
It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!

I'm 62 got my fz1 gen 2 because (being honest here) I don't fit GSXRs AND R1s as theres no room for my guts and the fuel tank. Tried XJR1300sp for a couple of years but to heavy and not the quickest handling bike then saw the FZ1 tried it, it's the closest thing to a naked sports bike I can find on offer quick, handles well, light, comfortable and my guts fit nicely some complain they lack a bit of ground clearance but both tyres on mine are worn right to the outer edge.

39 here, only had my full bike license for 6 months. Never too old to follow your dreams.
