We all love our Fazers, be it FZS600/1000, FZ8 or FZ1. But is any version destined to be a true classic? With many insurance companies now giving reduced premiums to any bike over 15 or 20 years old as a classic bike, what are the criteria to define a classic bike? And can you really be objective in your view if you're a true FOCcer?

Monday is "National Ride To Work Day".
I've been contemplating whether or not to say anything about this here on FOC-U, but I just can't hold it in anymore.
I work for a well known bike accessories company, and on Friday a number of internal e-mails bounced around.
"Please would anyone who has a bike come in on it on Monday, so we can take some photos to show how we're supporting the industry" - from one executive who doesn't even own a motorcycle.
"I'm up for a lift in on the back of a bike if anyone's willing" from a manager who also doesn't ride motorcycles.
There's maybe six people who work there that own bikes and ride regularly. No one else is even particularly interested in bikes.
Well, I've been "supporting the bike industry" for over 30 years now, rarely owned cars, and don't need some stuck-up management types telling me when I should be riding one.
D'ya think I should go in by car just to piss them off?

Could someone in the know post a list of these and what each signifies - would be really useful to alot of folks. I seem to remember 7k rpm is the EXUP fault code, but can't remember any of the others. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm thinking 1000 Gen 1s, don't know if other models are different.

What's the furthest anyone's ridden their Fazer in one go then?
Mine was Fort William to London, including a circuit of Ben Lawers. Survived on coffee and painkillers (due to reconstructed shoulder) - not recommended! Can't remember what mileage total that was though. By the time I got home, I was hallucinating police sirens!

Anyone know why all my photos have disappeared from the site?
