Hello all,

I last had a Gen1 Fazer 1000 in 2009 and have had a Honda Fireblade since.

Unfortunately I fractured my spine last year and since then I can no longer ride Sports Bikes without being in pain so have sold the Blade and looking to return to a Fazer 1000 as hopefully this will be a lot more comfertable for me.

My Budget is £2000 to £3000 for the right bike but it really needs to be within a 100 mile radius of West Sussex as I still have problems with my back and would struggle to ride more than 100 miles in any one day.

So if anyone is thinking of selling their Gen 1 and would rather deal with someone who's already owned a couple of Fazer 1000's than run the Gauntlet of the usual E-bay numptys then please feel free to get in touch  8)

Thanks, got a pocket full of cash for the right bike but not having much luck so far  :'( Perhaps it's the wrong time of year to be looking ?

Gen 1, don't thinkmy budget will stretch to a Gen 2, or at least not for one with sensible mileage.

I did John, the main issue is obviously finding a day when you are free to come and view it as it's best part of a 200 mile round trip for me so waiting to hear from you about your shifts ?
Had a look at your E-bay listing and did think about taking a chance and sticking an offer in via E-bay.......
