Been meaning to join for a while as had a Cat D 54 plate FZ1S for two years to take the load off my other bike and loved it so much I bought a 59 plate in July having sold the 54 as I was finding it a tad heavy, and the newer one is lighter and slightly lower, making life a bit easier.
HOWEVER, there is a big downside, as I was getting 55mpg with the 54 Fazer and the 03 R1, the new one only returns 40mpg
Resigning myself to this as it is so much fun and I don't get stuck trying to heave it off it's side stand if I park on dodgy camber!
Fitted with a Nitron shock and had to change the spring to suit my weight, as it was set up for 96kg guy, doesn't tear my shoulders out on the twisties, so another bonus, plus a 190 rear, which I am used to on R1.
So all in all happy with the change and off to France this weekend to see if it copes with the luggage too as well as the other bikes, which both had/have Baglux tank covers.
Glad to have found this site
