Hi I’m taking delivery of a fazer 1000 gen 1 soon and can’t wait to sample the bike as I’ve never had a bike this powerful, will it be faster than my BSA Bantam? 🤣🤣 seriously it will sit well with my other bikes which are all from the 70s

Welcome . Good bike choice, a few suspensions modifications are need to standard models to improve the soft first day suspension and service the EXUP valve yearly.
There is no normal 70s big bike that will come close to it so beware until you get used to it. Accelerates and brakes way better than any 70s bike. Be cautious until you get used to it
In the right hands a well sorted one will still hold its own with new sports bikes of today and embarrass a few owners also.  :D Not too bad for a 20 year old bike
Enjoy
