just looking - nippykarl - 07-02-13
I keep getting pulled back to the thou so had a little scout about found a late one low miles us spec by the looks but would do me fine with a few mods and monty etc, I could make it as good or better than my old one but I also want the new street R but thats a lot more money, dam this is hard head and heart having a battle over this decision, wish I had kept mine what to do Mmmm, http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/bikes-for-sale/searchresults/detail/Yamaha/FZ1-FAZER/2005/_/R-NXGN-3000433
Re: just looking - red98 - 07-02-13
ummmm....£4395,think your paying a fair bit extra for that mileage....does it come with the original bits ?
Re: just looking - nippykarl - 07-02-13
was just looking around to see the latest low miles one I could find out of interest, yes its expensive but the R is 8k so could have something like this and mod it and still have lots of change, dam thou keeps calling me, come back come back you know you want to.
Re: just looking - red98 - 07-02-13
not riden the street r...........but you cant go far wrong with a fazer
Re: just looking - bigbluebear - 07-02-13
The Street R is no comparison to the Fazer Thou, you may get a little closer with with the Speed being a 1050 and pick up a good bit cheaper

Brilliant bike which i am sure u could get for a good price and spread some cash round the forum. Think about it cos they dont come around in this condition very often.

DO NOT BUY FROM A DEALER!!!!
Re: just looking - Tmation - 07-02-13
The Gen1's seem to be going up in price at the dealers these days, and just read in this months Bike magazine that 2003 bikes and earlier now qualify for classic insurance and about 50% extra discount.

If you ride it off down the road and it blows up you take it back and get your money back. Private sale it'd be up to the seller if they gave it back.

You have a lot more legal rights buying from a dealer than you do with a private sale.
