Hi all.
I've passed my DAS and thinking about upgrading my '58 CBF125 with 11k miles to this Fazer [size=78%]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-FZS-600-Fazer-1999-in-black-sporty-R6-engine-reliable-bike-/200965812766?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2eca7ef21e (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-FZS-600-Fazer-1999-in-black-sporty-R6-engine-reliable-bike-/200965812766?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2eca7ef21e)[/size]
The dealer has offered me a straight swap including a fresh MOT and service. [/size][size=78%]Any eagle-eyed FOCers spot anything that should make me say nope! ?[/size]
I should add I'm fairly skint ATM.
Keep the shiney side up.
Cheers.
Paul.

Take a trusted mate with you when / if you view it - that bike looks to me like it's gone down on its left hand side.
Bikes do get dropped (you will too if you haven't already), but you need to know whether it was a drop, or whether it went properly down the road (ie, if there's unseen damage lurking).
-
what can you get for your bike.
if its grandish,i,m sure you could get a far better fazer than that one ;) ;)
I have an 02 foxeye I paid £1200 4 years ago with only 14k on it.so my advice would be sell private and buy private.you get a far better deal. :D .
-
It looks really ratty,wait for a better one
Oh & welcome to the forum..get your intro up...& get your 125 in the classified section..who knows someone might be looking for a wi ter 125.
-
R6 engine?
I think not :rolleyes
-
53k miles is a lot, you could get a far lower mileage bike for not much more
-
yeah i would say the mileage is too high. Plus as others have said you could sell your 125 for much more than that and then get a decent fox eye fazer allowing you to see at night... always a bonus.

Doesn't look like it's had much care and attention does it? Tyres look oversize, which suggests the previous owner didn't have much knowledge, may be why it's been down the road. So, you replace those, replace chain kit (chain looks well rusty), what else hasn't he cared about? rusty/corroded nuts and bolts will be a pain every time you need to remove something, so where else has that corrosion gone? Hasn't seen a bucket and sponge in a long while, assume from this that it hasn't been regularly serviced, so problems just piling up. No, one to avoid, seems cheap, good reason for it, not cheap enough, you'll end up laying out far more.
-
Clearly more money to be made from the 125 otherwise the dealer wouldn't be so happy to swap
-
That Fazer looks like a real shitter. I hate seeing bikes in that condition. Poor thing :'(
Sell the 125 privately and buy a much sweeter Fazer for the cash ;)
-
Dont go near it, its a dog. Take everyones advice and buy private /sell private ;)
