« on: 18 December 2015, 11:37:22 am »
Alas the time has come to sell my trusty Fazer 600…need something more suited to touring 2 up for next season.

Black in colour, extras include Heated Grips, Wide Stem Mirrors for better rear view, Front Fender Extender, Rear Hugger, Crash Bobbins, Rentec Top Box (can take 2 helmets) Also has 2 very recent new tyres, brand new TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). Included in the sale are a full set of rear wheel bearings (although they're currently not needed) and a new set of rear brake pads which are also not currently needed, I've just not had the time to fit them but will do if possible. The original handlebar grips and mirrors are also included. The bike has also had a very recent oil change and a new K&N oil filter. There's loads of paperwork included also, service records, previous MOT's etc..also has 2 keys. Mileage is just under 48k. Has had the dual headlight mod done.

Just for your information the 600 makes a good tourer even 2 up.
My wife and I have toured all round Ireland, much of England France and Spain on my 600 without any issues. :) The only additions were a Hagon rear shock adjusted to suit the extra weight, a set of progressive fork springs and a Nonfango Rack and panniers.
We even did 800 miles in 31 hours on it once when we missed a ferry. :'(

Have toured on an FJR1300 and my own Fazer1000 also, no major advantage. You may have more power, but also more weight.

Cheers for the replies chaps..much though I love my bike I can't see how spending more money on her to kit her out for touring makes much sense, I'd rather put that money towards another bike. I also fancy a new bike anyway, got my eye on a F800ST with full luggage which looks ideal. I'll be mega sorry to see the Fazer go, 1st big bike after passing my test & I doubt I could have chosen better..

Make sure you ride that BMW before you buy it.

It is a totally different style of bike.

Without any fear of contradiction, it will never be quiet as reliable as the fazer.
