I bought this as a bigger, comfier version of the Fazer 600 I’d had previously but as you all know it's much more of a hooligan than the lazy old sofa I’d expected. There’s no reason you couldn’t potter about on it or go touring but it invites you (or me at least) to misbehave most of the time. A lovely bike but having ridden fewer than 2.5k miles over the last 3yrs it’s time for it to go. It’s got all the usual tweaks – fully Ivanized, 4degree ignition advance, Nitron rear shock, braided hoses, Scorpion exhaust, MRA adjustable screen. It’s been garaged during my ownership. It has the original toolkit and a new Motobatt battery and the Michelin Pilot Road 4 tyres have about 1,500 miles on them. Givi Monokey top-plate and pannier carriers and as-new V46 Top Box (not pictured) included. The digital gear indicator used to work and probably would again it someone could locate the other DIN plug it’s dangling cable is intended to mate with. Having become disconnected I assume it’s somewhere under the tank but I haven’t been able to ferret it out. The only other bad point I can think of is the sticky residue from the inch-high black tape that was presumably stopping jacket zips from scratching the tank where it meets the seat. I shouldn’t have tried to take it off but I’ll leave the next owner to either clean it up or cover it with a tank protector. Bought from this forum in 2005 as was my much-missed FZS600. Bike is in Swansea.
