New Fazer owner SW London

Hello all, just bought a year 2000 Fazer and hear this is the place to be!

I like getting my hands dirty so look forward to working on the bike, hopefully with your experience when needed.

So far the bike feels really nice, a bit more London traffic friendly than the 1150 GS it replaces. Not quite as nippy as my 99 750 SRAD but plenty good enough to get me to work in a comfortable hurry. Glad I didnt go for an SV in the end.

Cheers

Welcome, Brewking!

Just out of curiosity, where did you buy your bike? It looks very similar to one that's for sale in Hatfield

Bike came from Portsmouth this morning so not the one in Hatfield. Previous owner had taken good care of it and spent loads replacing parts with new OEM stuff so looks and rides really nice.

Muffs are toucano urbano 319s off the 1150 gs and have also fitted the 117 gaucho, like the capes on scooters. Might look a bit silly but is waterproof and really warm. Muffs are far better than the oxford ones.

Just about to cover the bike in ACF 50, hope you all know what that is!

Welcome Brewking, your Fazer looks nice & warm! I'm a SW London owner too, near Wimbledon. Drop me a line if you ever need a hand or an obscure little part as I might just have it in one of my many boxes of crap!
