Very nice clean bike there. Good luck selling it. I suspect the price may be a bit high but you never know, it is good condition.

The clock needs resetting. Unless you're in the land of Midnight Sun :)

Get it right - it's you are or you're - obviously failed your English language exam

Absolutely correct, I did. But I still have the sense of humour that is required in this forum. :pokefun

Whoops..obviously there is a spelling error ..ha ha ha :rollin
-
Yes, I was testing BBROWN1664 to see how observant they are.......obviously, not very
-
Where are you based?
Not after buying it as I also feel it's a bit on the high side but someone that's interested may need a location.
-
Mick-H - I'm in Ilkeston, South Derbyshire (between Nottingham and Derby, less than 10 minutes from either M1 J25 or 26).
Yes, it's priced to dissuade all the chancers, it's very clean and well kept and I want to go to a good home and not be used as a hack.
As I said in the original post, I don't need to sell it and after ten years of ownership I'm quite attached to it - I just need to work out how to put my MT09's engine in the Fazer's chassis.
-
As commented by others in the post, it is a very, very clean looking machine, the other thing in it favour it has not had much in the way of so called upgrades done to it.
I bought my FZS600 2003 Foxeye 4 years ago, not as clean as this one granted (But it had been looked after and regularly serviced) with 24K on the clock. I paid £1950 for mine.
I too think that this one is on the high side price wise.
I was reading on VisorDown about all the bikes most likely to become classics and the FZS600 was top of the list, so if someone had that sort of dosh and decided to garage it they could be onto a winner.
But with the new regulations about to come in, and, those planned for the future maybe a vehicle with a petrol engine is not such a great investment.
Very pretty bike though Foxeye03.
Good luck with the sale and I am sure if someone does purchase it for something close to your asking price they would not use it as a hack because if that is what they wanted something to use as a hack there are a lot of scruffy ones out there for 7 or 8 hundred pounds.
Oh! one other thing chill out a bit mate.
Good luck

Yes, I was testing BBROWN1664 to see how oobservant they are.......obviously, not very
g
Just reading this post again, and, also being a failure on the education front (11 plus failure) I noticed that Foxeye03 was addressing BBROWN1664, (an individual) surely, but am happy to be wrong, please correct if that is the case, using the term 'they are' infers more than one individual, I believe the term should have been 'he or she was' as we are talking about an individual person and it is in past tense.
Not wishing to be perdantic but if we are going to be critical of one and other we need to be extra careful with what we say/type.
So don't do like what I do cos I do like what I'm told.

Yet another puerile comment by a smart arse. FFS Vinny this is a motorbike forum for bikers so please try to maintain standards. Your cnut comments are about as welcome as a reggae band at a Ku Klux Klan convention. TW@ !!

Perhaps try Ebay, where the puerile comments will include 'willya axept £1500 for it m8', in perfect English of course...... . :D

Sorry Frosties, I feel so ashamed :'( I'll try to maintain the respectful standards expected of FOC forum members in future.

To all the harbingers of doom, deposit taken this morning at a price I'm happy with.
Forums, eh? full of people who really should get out more instead of living a virtual life - I think 'should get out more' was the strapline to one of the 'contributors' to this thread because really, in the process of selling my bike, what have any of you foccers meaningfully contributed? definitely not intelligent conversation, that's for sure.
Whilst having had a Fazer for over 10 years and know them inside out, is it any wonder, judging by the 'eloquence' displayed on this forum that some people choose not to partake?
Some of you like to make supposedly funny, sarcastic comments but don't like it when it's dished back at you - the one about setting the clock, big fucking deal, that pure comedy gold was so hilariously funny............if you're a pre-pubescent schoolboy (that's about the level of most of the contributions).
Mods, please delete this thread and my account.
-
Oooh, get her. Sorry Foxeye but 'knowing a bike inside out' isn't only about owning it for 10 years, it involves getting out and riding it as well, which is something you clearly haven't done. Good luck with the new bike, hopefully the next forum you join will be humourless and less upsetting for you :thumbup
-
It's threads like this that keep me returning to this forum....
I dont even like fazers :rollin

Needs to buy a BMW :lol

Love these threads :woot
This is a mortorcyclists forum for those who prefer Fazers and enjoy life where a degree in sarcasm a necessity, but a degree in english is not. :rolleyes
Great to see someone correct grammar with the incorrect use of it to do so. :lol
Sarcasm, because beating the shit out of someone is illegal. :eek
-
I hope Foxeye recommends FOC as a source of useful information, to it's new owner. :lol
-
Ah Vinnyb, that's taking sarcasm to far :'(
-
The comment about the clock was made in jest, hence the smiley. 9 posts in 3 years, and you just use the forum to try to sell your bike! Don't need any lessons from you thank you.
BTW I've got a red one just as nice as yours, and it's done 45k. Try and get out more :lol

Nice try Mtread but yours can't possibly be as nice as Foxeye's because as you said, it's red. His is blue, like mine. :rollin
-
Yeah, but at least they're not............... silver :eek
-
Yeah, but at least they're not............... silver :eek
Well they wouldn't be 'cos no one would ever even consider buying a silver one.... would they? :lol
-
Ah Vinnyb, that's taking sarcasm to far :'(
That wasn't sarcasm Unfazed, I was being genuine :rolleyes I wonder if Foxy lady wants his posts deleting in case the new owner comes on here and finds out what an arse he is. If he hasn't already worked it out :lol
-
Vinnyb, you're getting as bad as Foxeye03 :lol :lol :lol Next thing you'll be selling your bike, :'( but your right he should get out more :rolleyes
-
It's 'you're right'. You don't want him coming back and telling you off again ;)
-
Vinnyb, you're getting as bad as Foxeye03 :lol :lol :lol Next thing you'll be selling your bike, :'( but your right he should get out more :rolleyes
Ouch that hurt, right that's done it now. I'm gonna spit my dummy out, throw my toys out of the pram, have a hissy fit and quit the forum, you're all horrible and nasty and I can't take it any more :'( As it happens the bike is up for sale £4500 to avoid chancers who might actually want to ride it :lol He perhaps will get out more now he's not wasting hours posting on here all the time. :rollin
-
Whoever would've thought that a for sale thread that no one is actually interested in buying could generate such a response?

Foxeye03 only opened the account just to sell his bike.
He would never waste his time in Forums, eh? full of people who really should get out more instead of living a virtual life - I think 'should get out more' Oh fuck he was in here.
Notice he did say how much he got for it, but in all seriousness it was a nice looking machine

Hi Russ.
Thanks for all the extra bits and the bike is utterly and mind-boggolingly AMAZING for a 14 year old bike. 'Factory fresh' doesn't do it justice. You're a gent and I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this '03 model just as much as my '99 version, 18 years ago.
:thumbup
I'm also looking forward to going through the FOCer's archives for hints and tips.
cheers

Well wear Rob and best of luck with it. Maybe now it will get the usage it deserves :D
Keep an eye on the rubbers on it carefully as they are likely to perish and crack from age related lack of use.
Check the intake rubbers and Vacuum take of point plugs after a few weeks of use for cracks. The vacuum take off plugs are even more prone to cracking than the intake rubbers.
Check the tyre dates on the side wall of the tyre also, they will be the week number and the year since 2000, something like 4916 the 49th week of 2016 or 3609 the 36th week of 2009.
Tyres more than 10 years old should be replaced (over 7, I would replace them) they go hard with age and grip level is greatly reduced.
-
Welcome to the forum Rikat (Rob) As you can probably see, you'll need a thick(ish) skin and a sense of humour to survive on here but if you can put up with us you'll get some good advice and a bit of stick in equal measure :thumbup Nice bike by the way. Are you planning to ride it much or keep it low mileage and mint?
-
The chances are that the fork oil won't have been changed so that could perhaps do with checking.

The vacuum take offs look fine, as do the inlet rubbers. One of the vacuum take offs has been replaced for the Scotoiler vacuum feed. The tyres are fine. The paperwork backs up tyres changes. Currently Avon Storms.
I see Russ has been given a bit of stick but he's a genuine guy and truly passionate about bikes.

Hi Vinny.
I'm planning to ride it and re-live my youth (32 year old with Fazer) AND look after it. Hopefully it's long-term, after many years of big trailies.

Wouldn't say stick, just the usual slagging most people on here get, myself included. :b The difference was Russ got too serious over a comment on his clock time and opened the door :eek
Leave you feeling as the outside when you enter :lol
-
Hi Rob, and welcome :) You'll get loads of good advice here. Looks a really tidy bike. Only bit I can add is the headers. They look original and in great nick, but the mild steel collector box can rust from the inside. So might be worth a check for any pinholes. Oh and I nearly forgot, the clock needs resetting :D

He is also a humourless nerd that takes everything that people say to heart. What started this off was, what I thought was a very funny throw away line about the time showing on the bike clock time and the abundance of sunshine at the time of taking the photo.
The guy is so stiff, if he was to take the broom stick out from up his arse he might be a happier soul.
Sure you can see that he loved the bike by the condition of it, but looking at the mileage it was hardly ever ridden and I assume it was always garaged so it should be good so not a lot of credit to him for that.
Anyway Rob you have a great looking machine there and I am sure you will derive a lot of pleasure from owning it, you say you had a 99 FZS600, well you will not notice a great deal of difference between that and the Foxeye it really is just a facelift, but one thing that will leap out at you is the new shaped headlights they are far superior and a few more miles between fuel stops on the slightly larger fuel tank.
Hope you stay on the forum matey. T :eek [size=78%]hat is more than I can say for the twat you bought the bike from lol [/size]

If you got your 99 new 18 years ago and your only 32 now, you would have only been 14 when you got your 99 bike :pokefun
