Hello all,
I recently swapped my Aprilia Caponord ETV1000 for a 2000 FZS600, and it's a bit different!!
I'm a big bloke, 6'2 which is why I got the Capo in the first place. But I've just found it a bit too big and cumbersome for what I'm now using a bike for - which is mostly commuting and weekend riding out.
I found a great condition FZS nearby and snapped it up, and I'm loving the ride although I'm still feeling a bit cramped on it. This site has been great for information, and so far I've raised the shock and forks, fitted a topbox and brighter Osram bulbs. I've altered the back brake lever and throttle. On order are a set of FZS1000 mirrors, and I'm about to order a touring screen, flatter handlebars and maybe a jack up kit depending on how the next few rides go.
