I don't worry so much about the Fazer , i clean it once a month when the mood takes me , i just prefer to get on with riding it , the Guzzi however is just for the summer , its too pretty to get dirty , i don't enjoy riding in the winter , i don't like the wet and the cold , although i do use the Fazer for the commute across town in the winter and take it for a 50 mile max ride in the winter months , dry days only .
