Hi, I was offered a 98 fazer that a friend had taken in px against another bike for the Balance it owed him, which wasn't a lot, after umming and aaghing I bought it, it needed a new battery and I took it for an mot and it sailed through, after charging about on old zed thous and the likes for years I was not sure I was going to like it, but I can honestly say I'm pretty amazed at its performance and handling, I've fallen in love with a paltry 600!! I think a set of renthals and progressive fork springs and a aftermarket rear shock should make it a very nice capable back lane scratcher
