hello peeps
« on: 13 October 2018, 08:04:39 pm »
just thought id say hello, recently bought a fazer after owning a VTR1000 firestorm for a month, it was a nice bike but really thirsty and hurt my wrists so picked up a 2001 carbed model with 31k.
i've been riding bikes since 14 years old, had a few decent road bikes best being a kawasaki zx10r c2h beast, but got married and had kids so i have been out of the saddle for 10 years, but glad to be back riding again.
i like the fun factor of the fazer,will probably be asking some questions, but will try the search function.
im picking up good vibrations around 6k through everything, which is a lot annoying, and the soggy saddlebags suspension needs fixing pronto as everything is on max preload and still way too soft.
but im happy with it

Welcome 74eldiablo !  Good to hear that you are back enjoying riding again after a break. The 600 is certainly a fun bike to ride. I have two of them, one with 10000 miles on the clock, and the other with 36000 miles.  As you say, the suspension is a bit 'soggy', but it's still a great bike.
