Hi Everyone!
I have been riding for over 40 years but have only ever had Triumphs, Ducatis and (many) Hondas. However I now have a superb 2002 Fazer 600 (with only 12,000 miles on the clock - genuine) and I have to say it's superb! Had it for 2 months and done 2,000 miles. Very impressed. Having had 3 Honda Hornets in a row I have to say it's very hard to say which is the better bike. The 600 Hornet needs to be revved to get the best out of it whereas the Fazer just goes faster the more you open up and is not so peaky. More relaxing ride. Overall handling (I'm not a boy racer any more so don't push to extremes) is similar, perfectly fine for me. The only place where the Hornet wins easily is the lighting. Sorry but the Fazer headlights are poor for night riding - anyone know of a good upgrade?
So, apart from being a very low mileage example, my Fazer is fitted with lots of extras - from the front - front fenda extenda, decent bar end weights, folding clutch/brake levers, belly pan, hugger, hand made after market carbon fibre exhaust. About to fit braided brake hoses and I've just fitted a car-type cigar lighter adapter so I can use my satnav. I'm looking for an undertray at the moment. Anyone know where I can get one for this model? I want this so I can fit a nice tail tidy with an LED rear light and indicators. Then I'll be just about finished with the customising! As you can tell I'm an inveterate fiddler! Will post a few pics when it's all finished.
Tony
