Should not look at bikes for sale....
« on: 05 June 2015, 07:56:49 pm »
So had my 600 since last October and love it but always find myself looking at what's for sale as I'm sure most of us do  :D
Anyway a 2007 FZ1 N was for sale locally, went to take a look and paid a deposit  :rolleyes
Not even had a ride of it  :b or any other FZ 1  :D

Should be picking it up early next week  :D can't wait!!

You won`t be disapointed with it :)  but it will definitely feel a lot different than your 600.

Was in my local bike shop Wednesday and was impressed with the FZ1s & Fazers also FZ8s-the dealer prices have come down considerably since the Tracers& MT-09s& 7s started to fly out the showroom. Hope you enjoy your new bike-dont feel bad- I went into shop in Feb & ended up buying an MT-07.
But we buy bikes with our hearts as much as with our heads dont we? :lol

I buy lots of things that I just don't need but don't tell the wife it's for her own good she would only get upset. ..I wonder if she does the same with me.

I'm currently resisting the temptation to visit my 2 local dealers. There's at least 5/6 bikes I just know I would end up buying.  :rolleyes

How the other half live  :rolleyes

I'm adding to the thread title, "Should not help others look at bikes for sale..."

Currently discussing with someone the pros and cons of buying a GPZ900R. Now I want one  :'(

Especially if it's this one:
