A quick google showed he does write for some magazines.

Ah fair enough, an unusual last name so much so that I didn't even consider it to be his name. I can't talk though to be fair...
Re: Fazers in MCN - richfzs - 21-02-13
How many people actually did what he asked? I had a good chat with him yesterday, seems genuine enough.
Mind, he did say he expected to get some abuse on here too, so Jon, your website really needs some work

Jon's been writing for MCN on and off for years, i've corresponded with him many years ago when his staff bike was a CBR600.
I think he's also written and tested for TWO too. All in all a good bloke

Yeah I had a chat with him as well. turns out a mate of mine in the motorcycling world knows him.
could be an interesting feature, I dare say we will get to see some of your ugly mugs lol.
Re: Fazers in MCN - Chris - 21-02-13
Well, after being the first to reply to him and then him PMing me and organising a time to ring me back then he never called. I'm guessing he spoke to someone else about the FZS600 but it would have been nice of him to let me know he wasn't needing to speak to me, I was quite excited about speaking to him but was pretty Foced off when he never bothered to phone or Pm to say he wasn't going to.
Re: Fazers in MCN - Skippernick - 21-02-13
Hasn't replied to my pm either. :'(
Re: Fazers in MCN - sure2ride - 23-02-13
Can't understand why he doesn't want to do an article on the Fazer 8, after all, it's the best. :lol
Especially the white ones with gold wheels.

it'll cost you.

Jon did an article on my Kawasaki last year. He is a good guy. Had a great day talking about bikes and silly things that happen on bike launches
Re: Fazers in MCN - noggythenog - 23-02-13
Sounds like a nice guy....with a tittish attitude...everyone's busy these days but no need to not be courteous or stand people up like that...especially after joining a forum for that sole purpose, fair enough if he had a fazer himself, no doubt someone will tell me he has now! But seriously it,makes me wonder what kinda folk are supposed to be telling me what bike i should be buying...i'd rather stick to my fazer & spend the magazine cash on upgrading it.
Was he really gonna visit chris up in shetland???
Re: Fazers in MCN - noggythenog - 23-02-13
Ok so my last post was a bit arsey & unfair coz the guys just tryin to earn a living & who blames him for researching through forums, but still needs to appreciate that he could be messing around with folk that are also trying to make a living & would appreciate him not wasting their time.
Re: Fazers in MCN - fireblake - 23-02-13
I can't see what the problem is. I think Jon is doing an article for MCN and quite rightly is asking those in the know?

I totally agree this is the best way for him to get info about the Fazer and i'd have been more than happy to speak to him of my experience with the bike. I do however feel a bit peeved at setting aside time for him and then he never called and didn't give me a courtesy call or PM to say he'd got all the info he needed.
It is not the way to make friends/connections and connections are everything when it comes to the media. I certainly won't be jumping at the chance to help him out in the future but had he been polite and let me know he wasn't going to call I would have totally understood and be more than happy to help him in the future.

Quite agree.

Did'nt mcn quote this about the FZS600 :- But it does look kinda 80s disco from some angles and it's also a bit greedy on fuel.
