streetfighter or not?
« on: 16 November 2016, 06:01:40 pm »
i have this w reg fazer 600 which i hardly use as my versys gets used more. so do i strip a perfectly good standard bike to make a fighter or should i sell it and buy a battered fazer thou? i just fancy a bit of a looney bike to have fun on before i get too old. some fazer 6's are showing up on 'emerging classics' ads now.

Definitely don't trash a perfectly good Fazer. If it were a bit rough around the edges already, fine, but that looks in pretty good nick. Now, if it was a Bandit....streetfighter it, crash it, set it on fire....who cares?  :lol

Just ride that one like a loon and then street fighter it once you have crashed it
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Its got the primer coat on, ready to be painted any colour now. Black would be best.

That said, its too good a condition to bugger around with. Keep it as it is or sell it and buy something a bit tatter to bugger around with.
Another ex-Fazer rider that is a foccer again

i'll go with the flow here and sell it in the spring. i'll be on the lookout for a tatty thou or a 1200 bandit after that.

Agrees with the above statements it would be criminal to hack that bike, will not be long before the prices start to rise on these clean FZS 600 carburetor machines, in fact I believe they are rising already and if they are not it can not be long they do, these bikes are classic machines.


You go anywhere and buy new and secondhand injected bikes.
