I will have a look tomorrow, take some close up photos and stick them on here. I dont know wether I am getting the wrong end of the stick when he says it been welded up, he might have meant they have aftermarket downpipes fitted.


My options are limited due to price but I do believe in bargins, there are couple of 600s nearby with about 22,000mls on them for around the £1500 mark. As for the Thundercat, its near the top of the list, but for £1500 your looking at 30,000mls +, they are popular bikes and seem to hold there price. Milage doesn't bother me that much as long as the bike looks as if its been looked after.


I have written a checklist for tomorrow so I dont forget what to look for as I get excited when looking at bikes.

Thanks for the advice guys,


Im gona view the bike tomorrow and check the bike over, my budget is £1500 with £300 put aside for suspension upgrades ect. I dont really want to spend more than that, if this bike is no good I will probably go for a 600 Fazer or Thundercat. I will use this bike for touring, ride outs and track work. It will be my play bike, something I dont have to worry about.

Hi there, I am Interested in the bike and would like to come view it on Monday morning if possible? Also do you know if the EXUP system has been regularly serviced/working ok? does it have any service history? Thanks Ash

Thanks That sounds good, shame about the history but as you say the price reflects that. Regards Ash

Hi Ash That's no problem It's a good bike not mint but not £3500 The engines are billet proof Aftermarket downpipes have no facility for exup valve With so much power it makes no difference You are welcome to come and view Thanks

Definitely the 1000, I will get a 600 if this one falls through. I have sent you PM with link to the one I'm viewing on Monday. He is a trade seller and said that the valve was welded open.

Hi and happy new year to you all.


I am joining because I am thinking of buying a Fazer FZS 600 or 1000 and need some advise from the experts. I am attracted to the Fazers as they look different and I can see it would be a good choice for use on track, touring and ride outs. My budget is about £1500 with my first mod being front and rear suspension.


My questions are...


What to look for when buying?


Does high milage matter? (40,000mls on 2002 FZS1000)


What are the best(cheapest) performance mods I can do?


600 or 1000?
