Give up while you're still behind Nick :b
Cue an influx of the window licking sycophants :lol
Let's just look at that statement a sec.
A couple of hypothetical scenarios:
1. I have a Honda Superdream for sale. It's a proper rustbucket, cam chain rattles like a good un, tyres, chain kit and pads are shot, no T&T, and doesn't run properly. Can't be bothered to sort. Make me an offer.
2. I have a classic Superdream for sale, in excellent condition. New tyres, chain kit and pads recently fitted. Full resto carried out, this bike is like new, and runs like, well, like a (Super)dream! Sensible offers considered.
(Yeah, I know, who'd want it anyway? :lol )
So why WOULD you say anything in the bike's favour?
BTW:

To misquote the bard:
Me thinks thou doth protest too much
Ask your bud Dazza, he explained it in eloquent prose "do you think it's the shit colour" :\

At the end of the day - it's not as if the Gen2 is a new bike. It's been around since 2006 via a few upgrades i.e the shitty fuel mapping.
I reckon it's getting to be a bit of a Bandit bike:
Suzuki - 1200 /1250 (Mk1 /Mk2 /etc)
Yamaha - FZFazer - FZ1 Fazer (Gen1 / Gen2)
I have only ever ridden the Gen2 & I think it's a brilliant bike.
Just my opinion - which is like an arsehole - everbodys got one!

Both gens are obviously cracking bikes. But to mention either one in the same paragraph as a B**dit, foc me, you know how to make enemies! :lol
