Middy2000:
Hi,
Just on the verge of becoming a Fazer owner with a deal struck on a 2001 fzs600.


Just before I part with my cash I'll throw a debate open.
Which bike should I get?


01 fzs600 with 8.5k. Sold by a work colleague & has been well looked after
08 fz6 with 50k. Sold by a retired gent who has maintained it irrespective of cost.


There is £350 difference.


I know there'll be views about which is the better bike.  It'll be used for a 25 mile round commute all year round. That's it.


Any thoughts?


Also anybody local to Louth or Grimsby areas?

Dudeofrude:
Hey Middy, welcome to the fold.
Im jist down the road from you in Cleethorpes 👍 quite often riding through yiur neck of the woods to play on the wolds or head up to cadwell. Also frequent Willingham woods 1 or 2 Wednesdays a month in the summer.

As for your bike dilema, I personally would take the older fzs600 with the low mileage. They are still cracking bikes and if it's been looked after it will last you a lifetime.
With so few miles it should still be like a new bike 👌

His Dudeness:
Which one did you go for in the end?

Middy2000:
I went old and am very happy with my decision. I've added heated grips and spotlights.
Changed the indicator lenses to smoked and a smoked tail light is next.


Great bike. Can be ridden conservatively or get her beyond 6k revs and she takes off nicely.


It'll be a long and fulfilling relationship I hope.

His Dudeness:
nice one. good luck with it.
