Bottom line is that Fazers are well proven, reliable all rounders good for many trouble free miles


Which is why we're all here  :D

Don't think we're comparing with apples with apples. The Fazer is a true all rounder - scratcher, commuter, tourer etc...much like your/my Tiger. The XSR is a fun commuter bike designed primarily NOT for motorways/toring etc. The R1 is a fun/grin factor bike.


Bottom line is that Fazers are well proven, reliable all rounders good for many trouble free miles which is what the OP was referring to.

Yeah I wasn't really starting trying to start any row, I know as we all do how good the Fazer is, that's why I've had 4 of em!(6 if you include the 1000's) I won't buy a bike twice if it doesn't tick all the boxes!
I wasn't trying to steal the thread either, the MT thing is probably a discussion for another time.

I have got well over 70k on mine now, i had it back in 2008 with just 8k on it all i have ever done is the normal service, change chains and recently the clutch.....which gave me a load of grief which is on the forum, the only reason i ask is while sorting my clutch out i had to get a new pressure plate from a dealer and they told me that these were only designed to last around 60k.
With my recent knee op i was considering something with shaft drive but still love the ride i get drom this even though it is a constant battle with the rust round by the engine mounts.
