Cheers Noggy. The Street is not quite as practical as the Fazer  (underseat pipes and no fairing) but it is more comfy, lighter, brilliant handling and fun, with a lovely power delivery. For UK roads it's top fun, hence why my Fazer doesn't come out as often, except if I need luggage/pillion/weather protection and long journey capability. Street is ok for most things and the most fun but if you've got a Fazer in the garage too you pick the best for the job in hand! Still lusting after an xjr 13 though. ..

Like the look of those XTs but wasn't sure about the power/fuelling myself either.


They are great on big throttle openings but crap on half throttle, which makes for fun on roundabouts and the like, clutch slip is the only way to truly control it, I know there are loads of fixes etc listed but when you look into it none of them are guaranteed to work, plus the cost can soon start rocketing if you need new maps etc.


I'll probably move mine on soon which is a shame because it's dead comfy, great on bumpy back roads and has loads of torque which is fun up to about 70 but the Versys is a far better bike to ride

My 08 versys and 12 tuono v4 :)  I'm thinking about selling my versys... '08 , 9000 miles mint condition. Since the last pic was taken its had stainless hoses all round (green sleeving) and green anodised adjustable levers... LOVE Green :lol

If it's broken, it's not fixed.
