I have a gen 1 Fazer, wich I have modded after most recomanedations. Now i found a cheap FZ1S, gen 2. What are firsts things to do? I was reading about ECU flashing at Ivan. Anything else on to do list?

The same new rules apply to motorcycles as cars from Wednesday according to MCN reports. We can now ride to open spaces with no distance restrctions, providing we do not leave England and cross the borders of Wales & Scotland. where the restrictions still apply. We must still apply the 2mtr rule though, so peeps use your common sense, don't gather in large groups, obey the rules, keep the rubber side down, watch out for dozy cagers and stay safe. 

Hi new to the site, was the proud owner of FZS1000 a few years ago gave up riding, now Im back to it and looking. I want either a naked or a Fazer GEN2 Im in the SN post code but due to work not locked down so If there is anyone with a bike looking for a new home in the Wiltshire area DM me.
Thanks for looking
Chris

advert says it rides superb and in excellent condition, with 28,00 miles.  I have put deposit down, the bike is being delivered for free from opposite end of country (manchester to grimsby), he said if i do not like it when it gets here, deposit will be refunded. The bike is from a company rather than private.


does the price sound worth it for the age?


thank you

Whilst we all hate the fact that we cannot really ride our bikes at the moment, the current situation may actually help us.
With limited capacity on public transport when people start going back to work, more people may turn to bikes again for transport rather than get stuck in traffic jams. As a result, councils may actually invest in some more bike parking, people wont be so anti-bike and we may see some new sensible bikes being made again

My 2007 FZ1S is getting on now, 50K miles and it's had a few problems in the last 12 months which I have sorted, but I'm wondering if now is the time (well not right now obviously) to PX it while it still has a decent value.
Trouble is what do I like?
I like the Fazer but they don't make it any more  :grumble
I tried the MT10 and hated the riding position and I wasn't keen on the engine although I'd probably get used to it.
I've looked at the Kwak Z1000SX and I'll give it a try but I doubt it will be as agile as the FZ1S
The only other bike is a BMW1000R but that's a lot of money  :eek
I can't ride a sports bike these days, too much pain across the shoulders, so it has to be a street bike.

What bikes have you moved on from Fazers to?
Any recommendations to go and try?
