No long a Fazer owner!
« on: 19 July 2015, 06:08:58 pm »
Had a great offer on a 2000 VFR800fi which i took. Traded my FZS600 in against it.
I imagine i'll be back on a Fazer in the future, when i can afford an FZ1.

For now; The VFR is a LOT of fun. Power is all down low/mid where i can actually use it, and the V4 rumble makes a nice change. Sporty position is taking some getting used-to, but i'm sure my back will sort itself out after a couple of weeks daily riding.

The only annoying thing was that; In fixing/cleaning the FZS for trade-in/sale, it looks FAR better than it ever has. Dammit.

I mostly stopped posting because i stopped having issues and i'm not big into forums.

As for pricing on the FZS; Via work (an independent bike shop in Leicester) so it was me trading my bike to work for a bike purchased from work for less than showroom cost (though a little above the purchase price) - As for the actual price, i can't really say as it hasn't been sold yet. It goes for whatever it goes for, and that comes off the price of the VFR

Loving it already. Just really considering some (expensive) Helibars to improve comfort on the wrists and back.
