I am looking at selling but cant be bothered taking all the bits off i have put on over the years, the main reason being i know longer have a garage and store the bike which isn't getting out and being used, anyway here is the details as i can best remember, testing the water see if i am pitching at the right price

Great bike (wudda said excellent but its red), wicked addons, fantastic price... It will sell matey ....if u dont wanna make it stock just include the bits and bobs... And give the buyer the choice.... I bet noggythenog would be interested @ that price...

[Alarman]

At that price its a steal

[esetest]

The book price is £4000 for a standard bike with average mileage , so with all the extras I would say its a bargain , if your not in a rush to sell it put the price up .

[ChrisJH]

Thanks for the replies i absolutely love the bike its the best bike i have ever owned i have toured Europe, had great weekend scratch with the lads, track days, even days out following supermotos over the passes it will do it all.

i have had it a good few years bought it off a mate who is absolutely particular real perfectionist they did most of the miles i put most of the mods on, lost track of what they sell for you see stuff on auto trader & Ebay but never sure if it sells

having moved into an apartment last year the bike is stored at a mates garage which is now a pain i wanted to take it out this weekend but i am getting him up at 9am bank holiday then asking what time he`s home to bring it back, its just not practical unless i can find somewhere at the right price to store then its going to have to go.

It's just a really sad state of affairs when a biker can only own a bike dependant on where he lives...I've had the same problem and when i move soon will only live in a place with garden/access or off road parking. Really feel for ya but there must be another way round it. A neighbour/friend with a garden perhaps ?  Another biker nearby with a garage so u can drop him a few quid?

Fantastic spec, great price, that will sell mate.

[noggythenog]

I could be interested Chris.




Thing is i discounted the fz1 for some newer stuff.




But im looking at £7k bikes which i cant quite afford.




For half the money i can have a nice fz1 and at that price any slight niggles about comfort or whatever kinda take a back seat.


& the bits & bobs are the icing on the cake.




I am just kinda wondering to myself how much money id want to spend to get all the must have mods such as engine software......im guessing another £500 which still equals a decent price.






I can see i have allot of thinking to do today








Where abouts are you based please????

[Exupnut]

Why do u have to mod it straight away?.... I was gonna go that way with r6 shock/r1 front and full monty but I jumped from a 600 to a 1000 and that was seriously enuff. U can learn to ride it as it is (and it'll take awhile) then mod it and its like u got a new bike again. Ur in no rush mate. Take it easy.i will eventually do those mods but it's such a fast bike already that I'll take my time because i gonna keep the bike. Somethin to think about.....

[noggythenog]

I think i want it

THIS. If it came to it I would either be putting a shed in my front garden for it, or trying to buy a bit of land from the council to put a shed on nearby.

Very nice bike though, looks quite like Dek's and I liked his too. Im sure it wont hang around for long at that price (so get the finger out noggy and buy the thing! ).

[noggythenog]

Im trying guys


Wouldn't this be the funniest thread.


10 pages of recommend me a bike.....on the fazer forum.......and the decision is........a

Been looking for some rearsets and carbon goodness...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Mattsplat

[Hedgetrimmer]

OMG!!!!SERIOUSLY?!!!!! ANOTHER RED FZ1 FOR SALE?!!!!!! 
 
Nice bike Chris, think that'll sell easily enough - even easier if I had the spare cash - but then I'd buy loads of bikes if I had the spare cash. Noggy won't buy it though. Noggy'll never get his act together enough to buy anything - unless his neighbour has a C90 in the shed.....but then that'll be blue or red. RED?!!!! OMG!!!!!! 

[ChrisJH]

yep it handles on the track in the right hands it would be every bit as good as 90% of the sports bike you see only been a few times Oulton & Cadwell plus a few laps of the Ring

[noggythenog]

Nick you misguided fool.


All that welsh air has gone to your head


I'll show yous!!!!!




I already own a red tank bag and tail pack.....it is a sign!!!!!

[DekF]

Very nice bike Chris, goodluck with the sale 

[noggythenog]

Hey Bill, it's called a shock for a reason......shocked when i sit on it!!!


A red thou clearly needs a decent sized manhood


So




No slim willy's allowed

[ogri48]

Go for it nogster


Why wasn't this about last year when I wanted one with everything already done...

[noggythenog]

Cheers ogri...you been a gent.




& cheers Chris..,also a gent




Looking forward to continuing my    Ownership.




Luvlyjubly

[DekF]

Well. Is the noggy soap opera finally over?
Ifso & I think it may be, then congrats on a great purchase. You'll find it a big leap forward from the 6, endless power, excellent handling & with a real presence. So don't bother taking it easy, thrash the fukker, otherwise why bother buying it, it ain't a Harley
