Well, gone and done it, left a dipper on the red one, collect on Friday. Long tax and mot, some warranty too, it'll get me through winter before the trinkets start to arrive for it.

Been to see the red one, tried every angle to make it look bad, but it really is mint, the price is none negotiable too.

BOLLOCKS! Now what do I do?  Still unsure whether to buy it even though he tried to tempt me away with a 2004 cbf600 instead, but I still drifted back to the fazer.

No test rides either, reason was too many get dropped on test rides so he can't take the chance :-(

Hahaha! The drz forum was the same, with a very passionate argument over which colour was superior ;-)

Saves me a trip then, gonna have to go and haggle the one at highbarn then, seeing as the red ones are best!


Still gonna have a look, if there's a bit of haggling maybe I'll plump for one, there's one in chorley with 15k for about £1700, but it's not as clean as the others...


That was the first Fazer I looked at, 11 month ago!!! Red one? Chain was rusty, save a journey mate!

I understand they're not the cheapest, but having bought vehicles privately before, I'm not keen on the idea, too many shysters and bad experiences.

I'd like to try the dealer route, see if that's any easier.

Kind of what I was thinking, maybe if I could talk him into free delivery as he's a dealer,
Would be a bit daft to pass up such a low mileage example I guess?

So new I haven't bought the bike yet!

I'm James, and I've been trying to decide on a civilized replacement for my drz400,

There's a couple of nice fzs600's on fleabay at the moment, one of which is only 3 miles from my house,
It's a metallic red, V plate "99" with just under 14k ont clock, I'm going to look at it today but it looks mint in the pictures, thing is the price, £2295 is it worth it?

Also a metallic blue 2001 with only 3k on the clock which without a doubt is completely mint.
Which is priced at £2499, but it's in Wolverhampton,

I'm torn between them, any suggestions from the wise old sages of the forum?

I'm going to buy one of them and I'll be well behaved and totally shameless in by begging for info and cheap parts, so no doubt will be a popular member hahaha!

Any advise is more than welcome, thanks guys (and gals) if there are any?

James
