I know ive already got one, what can I say.
I foccing love the bikes. And I cannot get my head around paying five or six times the two grand my bike cost me for a brand new bike, which I wont like as much as a thou, in all probability.
Gonna spend all winter looking for a minter to keep alongside the old faithful.
Anybody here who has such a machine please hit me up.

Anybody still looking for a mint thou.
Shame this is at the other end of the country or I might have a sniff myself. Looks really sweet. Right colours too.

Do you think it’s a bit overpriced though?

Very simple answer to it's value. A plug and play bike. If you want an original FZS 1000, try finding another one in a similar condition/mileage cheaper! Worth every penny!

I’d still want to check it over. Check the exup valve is working. Check the EXUP cover will come off, and screws behind that will loosen. Those are two most common issues with the old thou. A wee look at the tyres – they look good in the photos though. A short test ride would be ideal – make sure those carbs ain’t gummed up. But yeah it looks genuine and mint in the photos.
The down side is it’s a 440 mile drive to view. So I’ll skip. I don’t have a van either, and I suspect they’ll want a few hundred quid to transport it to me.
But if I saw one like that within a couple of 100 miles I’d probably have a look.
I think if you really want a nice one, and this looks like a real minter, then 3.6k is not bad. It’s, to me, the right colours too. There might be a few quid to come off in a haggle.
If I did get it. I’d get it home. Remove the AIS. Swap my Ivanised carbs onto it. Pop my K-tech rear shock in. Swap my can on. Change the fork oil and pop some heated grips on.
Then stick it’s crabs, shock etc onto my current old thou and flog it.
I think that bike is a potential great buy for somebody who loves the old Fazer thou.

if I had the money I'd go for that bike and pretty much do the same. A lot of us bemoan the fact you cant buy a new fazer thou, that ones as close as you'll get.

Well wise ! better a slightly expensive low mileage minter than a cheap & cheerful high mileage load of potential trouble,your new bike's hardly run in even if it is a few years old.
