I would say the bike has just been sorned as a taxed bike wont show when a sorn is due

Going through here

It say's it's insured, which at least means it's still on the road and not scrapped.
Be nice to meet up with it again, introduce it to it's younger brother.
Yup I know soppy sod but I loved that bike  :'(

Mick-H I became the owner of this bike in August 2011 when I bought her from CMC Cannock. Has only been SORNed since end Nov until 1st March this year when i will re-tax.
According to my paperwork I am the 4th owner; the 3rd owner,from Birmingham, kept her less than a year and it appears the 2nd owner lived in Lichfield,Staffs.
bike has nowdone 24500 miles(2500 by me)-I have just recently done valve check & will be stripping front suspension & changing fork oil also strip & regrease rear suspension joints & swingarm bearings this month. Like to do my own maintenance. the bike is a credit to its previous owners. Please feel free to get in touch. All the best,Dave :)

Bloody hell you don't know how good it feels to know that it's still around.                                                                  I had the bike for 6 years give or take a couple of month, looked after her like you would not believe, sold her on just after I'd completed a charity bike ride on her, 5000 miles in 5 days, she had around 15000 miles on the clock when I sold her. 10000 miles in 5 years 11month and 3 weeks then 5000 miles in 5 days  :lol
I decided that I wanted to do some touring and swopped her plus some cash for a ST1100 which I only kept for around 6 month, it was my worst decision in my biking life and stupid really as any bike that can do 5000 miles in 5 days isn't doing bad at touring, from that day to this I regret selling her and have said so many many many times on the VFR site that I frequent.
I put quite a few bits on her, Renthalls, extenda fenda, Corbin seat, Givi rack, Giles rear-sets, side panels painted and last but not least a Staintune exhaust the first to be imported in to this country for a Fazer 1000, looking to buy one now but not going to pay £700 for one, a rise of £400 from when I bought the first one, I'm keeping an eye out on the Fazer site in the USA for one and I'm currently waiting on an answer on one being posted to the UK.
If you PM me your email address I'll try and find some photos and send them on.
Thanks for posting.

Top Photo was first week of ownership, middle just before being swopped for the pan 6 years old and if I say so myself minter than a mint thing.
Bottom was taken part way through the charity ride.
Forgot to add, the bike was also Ivanised by Mike GTX as he was back then also had tank cover and NWS hugger.
Like I say quite a few quid lavished on her.
