I have been riding motorcycles for more than 50 years and have owned upwards of 60 bikes in my time, from cammy Veloscettes to Harley cruisers but now I'm getting on a bit I decided to try something that starts on the button and doesn't weigh more than a family car, hence a 2003 Fazer. Have to say its one of the nicest bikes I've owned, easy to ride, fair turn of speed and quite light. Lovely bike.
