Versys is good but very like the SV (BTW my SV kept pace with the Fazers in the Welsh rideout many years ago, if 100mph is running out of puff time god elp us all).  But the bottom end and handling (and sound) gave me the advantage in corners.

I took my Fazer in to a Honda dealer cos I was interested in the v4 thing they have (crossrunner or something).  When I asked about a part exchange, the dealer( who was an old school guy) just said 'WHY?'.  I pissed myself laughing.
Fox eye would be my choice any day.

Not sure why you're thinking this the headlight is very good as standard, I put the cheapass eBay HID (about £40) after I saw someone else on a Tcat with one which makes the headlight awesome!

I did 2 trackdays on mine- Silverstone south circuit intermediate group, I got smashed by a sprint st and cb1000 on the long straights constantly, but by the end of every lap I'd caught back up by the last corner (very annoying!)
Rockingham was I different story- no straights as such and I was round the outside of the vast majority of peeps-
I'm not saying this for a big woop- the bike is more than capable than more powerful/ more expensive bikes on a twisty track.
I'd be more than happy to buy another Tcat!

I've heard a few people complain about the headlight being a bit pants, if it's an issue I guess the answer is HID like you said.

It is no where near as bad as the boxeye, but I'd state no where near as good as the foxeye!

Re: Next bike? - Mick-H - 30-12-13

CB500 just run it till it dies but that may take a while.

Re: Next bike? - JoeRock - 30-12-13

I wouldn't worry about the ZX6R being too sporty mate, providing you get an older one (pre 2003). Before then they were a big comfy spacious bike that still went bloody well - I've not ridden a THundercat or a CBR600F for particularly long but I found them very much comparable!

Shame this thread wasnt up 5 months from now. I would have a lovely Foxeye you could have when I upgrade to a thou :lol
