After the current boxeye FZS600, of all the stuff available on the market, I'd only consider a 400 cc Fazer - if they were available locally.
Intend to run it for as long as it runs without some outrageously expensive repairs.

When I first joined this forum, I had one until I made the mistake of selling it. After several years with other, lesser, bikes I am back with an FZS600 again.

People sell their Fazers for all the right reasons and then realise how good the Fazer actually was compared to the replacement. Many will never admit they made a mistake.

 Bought a new FZS600 in 1999.  Traded it in 25,000 miles and 5 years later for a pre reg zero miles FZS1000.  It’s about 38,000 miles now and just been joined by my new R1250R. 
 
The FZS1000 is sitting in the garage spewing fork all over the garage floor just now.  Got a list of things I need to do to get her back up to scratch.  But there is a list of other home tasks I need to get through first.  We’ll see.
 
The 1974 C90 that I passed my test on in 1987, still with only 2500 miles on the clock is hiding in the corner waiting for me to retire.  Needs a good bit of TLC.

Not a lot of people know that cos it plainly wrong. DPBM is the coolest and fastest colour I thought everybody knew that. 8)

Have two 600 and 1000
Bought 600 new in 2003 bought  2005 model 1000 (registered 2006) off my son in 2013.
Have ridden a lot of different bikes since buying both and found nothing worth changing either for.

Still got my old girl, can't bring myself to part with it.  Blacks OK as long as it's YELLOW in between.
Haven't had either bike out as I've been working my way round the garden attacking brambles and shit during this lockdown.
Might wait for a sunny day and pull em out for a bit of a once over.

No, sold my 1000 last year after buying a TDM850, I'm loving the trailie like riding style of the TDM and getting used to the engine not screaming revs at me like a banshee, I find the TDM more fun on the B roads that the Fazer and the 270 degree crank makes a nice note through the delkevic exhaust.If I was to have another Fazer I'd go back to the 600 as I found it more fun to ride than the thou.I can't get page 2 to load either.
