New member in Cyprus
« on: 07 May 2020, 06:52:01 am »
Morning all!


I've joined as my wife has just bought her first big bike, a 2000 model Fazer 600. She passed her test in Malta 5 years ago and since then has been riding around on a CBR250R, but has outgrown it.


As I'll be the one looking after the Fazer, I thought I'd best join and learn from those that know all about them :-)


In the garage for me is a 2003 SV1000S and a 2000 R1150GS :-)






We live in Cyprus, but I'm British and the wife is American, although if asked, she often claims to be Canadian!!


Stay safe!

Welcome to the Group Martin. Looks a nice clean bike, good choice. They are very reliable bikes but plenty of info on here and always somebody to help (or take the piss) on here.

Welcome to the group. You will soon learn that people here have a wealth of knowledge on these bikes. Eventually you will also learn that your wife has a better all round bike then you do too. :pokefun
Another ex-Fazer rider that is a foccer again

Cheers for the welcome.


@bbrown1664 - Haha, it's a great bike, but just hasn't got the power I need. Can't beat the torque of a big v-twin! :-)


@limax2 - yeah, its been well looked after and we bought it from a friend. Piss-taking is compulsory - I'm ex-forces, so used to it!
