Thanks Eddie, will do.

@mtread I know those roads, there's also some good ones out by Canewdon too

thanks!

This summer I'll get the fork legs and swing arm powdercoated black, and repaint the engine. I'll be keeping the cam cover end caps and the fins on the engine silver though, and the orange indicators!

Need to open the airbox and see if there's a K&N air filter in there, seeing as there's a few other mods done, it's probably wise to check

Hi there,


I just picked up my 600 Fazer from Cambridge last night after my commute from Rayleigh to London (since last March) killed my 900 Divvie.  I bought the Divvie because of the shaft drive but was secretly glad when it gave up the ghost because it was a bit heavy for charging through London on a daily basis.  Truth be told though, the D900 did well considering it was 21 years old and I did 11,000 miles since the end of March 2015 so can't complain for a £700 bike.


So, on to the Fazer.  It was on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281902407353.  I bought it for £900 which I think is reasonable.


It has a few mods:

• Rear Hugger
• Front Mudguard Extension
• Braided brake lines
• (ugly) belly pan
• Full Stainless Micron exhaust (not as loud as I expected)
• some Chrome tat bolted on the radiator

As you can see, it's a little scruffy but not too bad.  the best bit is how it rides!


When I first jumped on it, it felt like a toy!  It's so small and light compared to my Divvie.  I felt proper wobbly the first couple of miles as it requires so much less input to steer than my old bike.  Strangely, this mornings commute felt totally natural which is a good sign.


I know i'm preaching to the converted but this thing is hilarious!  I was grinning like a lunatic on my ride into London this morning.


First mods planned will be scottoiler and hotgrips.  After all, it's a commuter first and foremost at least until March when I will change jobs and be working more locally.
