Pity your not after a fz1

No mate. Selling the triumph and getting a versys 650. I like on/off road bikes at winter time. The triumph is a cracking bike, but i want something lighter through the winter. Best fazer's are the gen 1's

Interesting


I been looking at the versys 650 for my Wales blasts & a few folk seem to think it would be slow but i dont think so on Mainly B, some A roads.


Watdya reckon Nicko?




I was a bit gutted when the latest version got good review coverage coz im hoping prices on the older ones remain low as they are.

I'm not usually a fan of parallel twins, but i wanted something more like road/trail bike for winter and the versys has a bit more poke than other similar bikes. The handling is supposed to be good, engine is apparently quite punchy in the low/mid range and the sit up higher riding position is a bonus for winter commute. If i buy the one i'm looking at i will give an update to what it's like. I am quite fussy mind you.. If i don't like it i will just sell it on

I've got a 2007 Versys after having loads of Fazers and they are everything you describe, punchy motor, comfy ride (although a little harsh on the suspenders but I haven't tried adjusting it yet) very flickable and cruises happily in the mid 80's if you wish.


To me it is a cross between a 650 single, supermoto and a Transalp and it has the best parts of all of them...loads of low down grunt, quick steering and ultra reliable (thus far)


If you buy at the right price you won't lose if you sell it on as many people seem to want one


All the best

They do seem to be really popular. The one i'm looking at is a good price, so hopefully be able to sort something out

I rode back from Aragon,Spain with a bloke on a 600 or 650 Versys and i was not impressed at all,i did have my VFR to compare it to though, it did seem very very cheap on all the fittings,plastics,rather like a cheap mountain bike, the guy (from Aberystwth) was looking for a replacement soon after his return, not sure what he did with it, he may well of continued, last year he went to Morocco ,on what i do not know.


I could ask if he has a cheap one in his shed

[nickodemon]

Triumph sold for full asking price sad to see it go, as. it was a cracking bike. New owners delighted

[adeejaysdelight]

That's great. Good on ya.


And I got a Tuono 


So its a win - win

[nickodemon]

Did you buy the one you showed me?

[adeejaysdelight]

Nah, that was a Millie, as you pointed out  !

[nickodemon]

Now I just need to get the bitch started!!!

[nickodemon]

Be careful when starting big v twins! You need to make sure you give a firm press on the starter and don't take your finger off until it fires. If you only make a half hearted atttempt then take finger off and try again you can knacker the sprag clutch(Expensive) I would also fit a higher rated battery (Motobatt) To ensure a quicker turn over when starting. Welcome to the world of Italian motorcycling!

Yeah, I think I focced the sprag clutch  . No one told me before, so I was ignorant. I know now, but I believe I will have to replace the part. I will call Jim Allan tomorrow to see what I need. I read in PB magazine if the engine is making a loud clattering noise to the left hand side, the sprag is goosed. It sounds like a washing machine with some spanners and half bricks in it. Oh, and I focced the starter relay too. The joys of Italian motorcycling indeed. Its costing me a fortune and I have not even had it out the garage.

Get in touch with the previous owner. He must have known it was on it's way out, as it's a gradual thing.. At least try and get some cash back, otherwise you will bad mouth him for all eternity!
