Title: Fzs1000 on the front Cover of a Classic Mag.
Post by: unfazed on 01 March 2024, 07:18:19 pm

With a 1.5hour wait on Monday for my wife  who was at a physio appointment, I headed for a coffee in the shopping centre and took a look at the magazines in Easons Book shop first. The magazine that caught my attention was Classic Motorcycle Mechanics because it had a picture of a yellow FZS1000S on the cover, thumbed through it and bought it. Into the cafe and settled down with my coffee to read the article.
The bike they used for the test was a yellow 20003 S model with 10,000 miles, looking like it came out of the showroom totally standard.
A good article, but didn't tell me anything I didn't all ready know and the article contributors loved it.
Definitely worth a read if you have not already done so.

  Agree totally with your comments, bought the magazine on the day it came out.  An honest and very good appraisal of the bike, only potential first time buyers of the Gen 1 Thou will learn anything from it, but good to see our steed getting some high profile press!

For those that get the mag, if there's anything useful in it that needs to be added to the Gen1 FAQ let me know.

I would put money on the fact that any useful info in the article was derived from our FAQs :)

Quite possibly Mike. I did buy a copy based on unfazed’s original post, and found it to be an accurate judgement. It praised the Jack of all trades capabilities of the bike, good brakes, decent tank range, decent saddle, usable mirrors, good build quality, decent performance. Pointed out the short comings in the suspension department, some windscreen issues, need for regular exup maintenance and the option of having it Ivanised. Made me very happy that I own one, and, with all the suggested mods :) .
