I'm just coming up to 2 years with my Fazer and have no plans to change it yet. Just wondering how long owners tend to keep them before they decide it's time to move on or is it your 'forever bike' particularly if it's the only bike you own.
Wow, that's good going How many miles on her?
Nearly 21 years (June 1998 I bought it). Still a good un. Only bike I have.

It would be really interesting to learn from such a long keeper from new about any issues because you never know what the twat before you has done or how they have ridden/ kept it.But its not quite the oldest bike, a few years ago we had a thread about the oldest bike and my May registration was the oldest at the time.Not from new as I am the 3rd owner but I have owned it 18 years and is my only bike - always with the caveat, as per my signature.At 5'8" and 9 1/2 stone (10 with a good Sunday dinner in me and before Monday ) it just seems to "fit" me - almost like it was designed for me. Cheap to maintain - thanks to this forum, so that is why I have kept it so long.Currently 22k on the clock.

Mine is at a paltry 50000km/31000 miles. Anyone gone past 200 000 miles?
