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.

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.

Post by: tommyardin on 04 August 2017, 06:02:30 pm
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
tommy

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.

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).

 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

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
rob

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.

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.

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

 :thumbup


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]

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.

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.

Am I the only one smelling a rat?

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

Correct. This is my mid-life crisis. Couldn't afford a Porsche.  :\

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

Clock: done.
