Heh Heh.


Well, it was that godforsaken stutter. It had spent 3 weeks in the garage with the mechanics scratching their heads as to what was wrong, and although it got sorted, I felt whilst riding it to the dealer today, that stutter starting to reappear.


So I thought either keep the Fazer as a model and cycle everywhere, or get something else.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll

 :rollin

Happy if you're happy. I really don't know what bike I'd get after old Fazer. Underseat storage, low revs torque, nice speed, great brakes. Suspension is the only thing I like more about newer "better", "modern" bikes. And not all - just some. CBR600 Honda for one. :)
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.

This is faster, but you don't notice. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.


This is more comfortable, as easy to ride, better weather protection, better headlights, louder so people get out of your way and notice you more. . . .


This also has lots of nice little features such as little windows in the body work to check different fluid levels so you don't have to remove tanks and seats etc etc etc


The Fazer, has fantastic front brakes, so I do miss that.


The Fazer also feels lighter than this, so is more confidence inspiring in adverse weather . . . .


They both have pretty similar MPG. I filled the tank up, have done 80miles and the needle has only just moved off the top, and that is with thrashing the engine a lot.


The Fazer was nearly always broken, and as I am not very handy, lack a garage/sheltered place to learn how to repair, it was costing me loads just to keep it running.
