I think that's it you know. Been out on the TRX today, it was a blast. And weirdly it felt more comfortable?
I thought the TRX would compliment the fazer, but I am not sure as of yet.
I am not going to anything stupid just yet, I am going to make to effort to get out on the fazer whenever I can.
If it still doesn't float my boat then it may have to go.

I am fancying a big enduro bike, and weirdly - something that doesnt feel as heavy. I have recently built myself a TRX900 track back and that is light and nimble as you would expect, but I have also ridden a R1200GS and that felt lighter than the Fazer? probably down to the weight distribution.
I want something with better weather protection as I plan on using the bike through the winter. In a recent trip to scotland we rode through the rain and I got completely drenched while my dad on his GS was relatively dry apart from his feet.
I have done track days on this bike, I have toured Scotland, camped etc etc. I am just finding the bike and specifically the engine a little soulless. might be just me but the trx twin despite having half the power really feels alive. the speed triple I rode was the same in a different way.
ah I dunno really. I have almost decided to drop a bit of cash onto a super tenere or a gs. I thought about a multistrada 1200 but they are not that reliable and to be honest I dont want that sort of power on the road now. I am definitely not bother about sport bike levels of engine performance, just a nice lump of mid range torque.

yeah I have watch that quite a few times in the past, but to be honest I don't see what hes getting at. my dad has a 56 plate R1200GS and I have ridden it quite a bit. I dont see any of the issues that he has had. its a lot lazier bike, but it can still motor on if you tell it too.
I want something that I can use every day if necessary, so for me a taller bike fits the bill nicely.
If money was no object I would go out and buy a brand new super tenere and be done with it, but that is a lot of coin.

i am just not going out on it, so I am not sure what the point of keeping it would be at the moment?

Hello, I have owned my fazer 1000 for over 9 years now, and its gone from 7000 miles to 28000 miles, its been a great bike, but lately I am hardly using the the bike anymore, and I am thinking maybes its because I need a change? I am considering selling up and going for either a 990SMT or a Super Tenere 1200. I have done an awful lot to the fazer over the years and its pretty much fully fettled including: wilbers highest spec rear shock R1 forks with custom offset yoke to cancel out the shorter fork legs ivans jet kit Mivv carbon exhaust K&N air filter short levers handgaurds front and rear carbon fender (or muguards as we call them in england  ) LED rear light. Givi rear rack and top box. The bike has never ever let me down and other than consumables its just been a set of rear wheel bearings that I have had to replace. Question is, its an 02 Fazer with all these bits on, is it worth my while returning it to standard and selling everything seperate, or do you think its worth a punt selling it with everything on? The bike is clean and I have been offered £2200 as a trade as a stock bike. I would like to clear £3000 for the complete package. I hope I don't regret it, but I think I need something fresh to re ignite my love for biking.

Ditto. There are a lot of people that have seemingly spent a fortune on track day machinery with really expensive tyres and just tootle about fairly slow to be honest. Nothing wrong with riding to your ability but having that spec kit and riding pedestrian Seems a bit of a waste of money to me. I was running road pilot 3s and found their limits by the end of the day, accelerating through Chris curves chasing my mate on his blade had the fazer sliding all over the place. Least I looked like casey stoner drifting it through the corner (in my head)

Can't believe you took your Givi rack around the track
I'd have still had the top box on if I was allowed The fazer never disgraced itself, was quicker than a lot of sports bikes, and out of barn down the straight it was quicker than virtually everything!

oh I can. ok test of pics
That's the best Fazer action pic I've ever seen. How cool is that?
Aw cheers dude! It's was great fun giving it gas on track again, getting a little quicker too

as Pit says, the novice group is not full of newbies wobbling round the track, there are some seriously quick people out there.
All seems safe enough though, and huge fun!

haha awesome - I see you have the 'Donnie Darko' swept back mirror look too eh What group were you riding in? I was in the Novice group being my first track day, not that that meant anything as it was used as an overspill group for guys trying to get into the fast group which was full. We should have a fazer meet at Cadwell sometime in the future if anyone is interested?

Well I couldn't got a better day for my first trackday, it was red hot! Have to say it was a little daunting when I first rolled up, dunno whether it was the fact it was a weekend and the weather was so good, but it was like a BSB paddock. all tyre warmers gazebos and trucks. My mate has been to a few track days there now and said hes never seen it like this before. we were setup next to Jenny Tinmouth, Peter Hickman was just in the next row, it was an eye opener for me. anyways I took it very steady the very session, getting a quicker as the session went on. It was amazing how quickly the pace started to come, and I was dragging me boots in all the tight corners, especially the second corner in the woodland section and mansfield. Looking at the photos though there is loads of clearance left on the bike, its my duck feet that are getting in the way. The bike performed absolutely faultless, including the 3 hour ride home after the day had finished. Handling was predictable and superb - way better than I am capable of, and the power was quite awesome, down the home straight it held its own against seemingly absolutely everything, and pulled canny big gaps on a lot of bikes, so says me rear mounted gopro. shame I was such a soft get braking mega early for coppice. Loved every minute of it though, its taken me the best part of 9 years to do one but will most certainly be doing another! You definitely dont need a out and out sportsbike, there was a guy on a ducati sport classic 1000, and he was rockin! I actually picked him out at the start and said to myself I will see if I can hang onto him - he was one of the fastest guys on the track! some pics:

here here. I have had mine knocking on 9 years now, only thing I have owned longer is my house! I have looked on numerous times at replacement bikes in the last couple of years including but not limited to: MT01 gen 2 FZ1 triumph sprint triump speed triple triumph tiger BMW 1200GS All seem like good bikes, but none have yet had what it takes to make me give up on the fazer. I even washed mine today!

more torque at the bottom with the baffle in? that would be my preference for a road bike.

so use the pegs touching down as a guide to go no further.
I am building myself a TRX 850 with a TDM900 engine that I plan to use as the 'fun' bike that I can use for track days.
shouldnt have any ground clearance issues, and also wont have huge amounts of power so I can have fun lobbing it about.
Unfortunately its not ready yet so I am going on the fazer!

« on: 25 June 2012, 11:57:58 pm »
get it posted up!
or if you don't want to send it to me!

« on: 25 June 2012, 11:10:40 pm »
cheers guys. I will be certainly taking it at my own pace and enjoying exploring the bikes potential.
That guy above definitely doesn't appear to have any clearance issues, mind you they are pretty fast sweeping corners.
am excited!
