2003 FZS600 Fazer For Sale - bikeownerus - 24-05-13

Hi,


It is with a heavy heart, but my faithful Fazer 600 should probably go to a another home .....?


First the spec, then the history

  • Fazer FZS600 registered June'03 - Red
  • I am 2nd owner
  • I acquired Jan'08 as the 'perfect' 2nd hand purchase in Jan'08 with 5500 miles on the clock
  • It now has 26500 miles on the clock
  • Very good recent tyres
  • Aftermarket silencer with original as spare
  • META alarm system with spare fob + 'magic' number
  • KN air filter
  • 'Fancy' (expensive?) plugs
  • Rad cover
  • Spare key
  • Spare seat - with small tear
  • Seat on bike also has a tiny tear which is 'patched'
  • Recent replacement battery (gel)
  • Currently on SORN
  • Will come with full 12 months MOT
I bought this as an immaculate low mileage example which had been used by a lovely old guy only when the temperature was above 20C.
Nonetheless he had it serviced regardless of mileage.
I bought it as a practical work machine and used it from March'08 to March'12 as such - doing about 50 gentle miles a day - predominantly A roads.
I have done all servicing myself changing oil and filter very regularly. I have also done the fork oil and balanced the carbs a few times.
I have had the down pipes off a couple of times and painted and sprayed them - they are totally solid but it's an engineers job rather than an immaculate finish!
The bike has never ever let me down - if I had to ride to Portugal tomorrow (I wish), I would bet my mortgage it would get there with zero issues.
The bike is very clean and genuine but not showroom immaculate.
I am a gentle old fart of a rider - I have too much mechanical sympathy and insufficient nerve to get any where near a 'wheelie'.
It is still on original chain and sprox and these have loads of life left ...... sorry!


Why am I facing the inevitable and reluctantly selling it .....?
  • I have changed job and no longer do a bike based commute
  • I inadvertently bought a TRX850 off e-bay and this is now my high days and holidays 'toy' (I would not trust this to get me to Portugal yet!)
  • I want something to tinker with - the TRX is a tinkerers delight - the Fazer is boringly reliable!
I don't need to sell but it's sitting in my garage as an under utilised asset.


Looking for £1700 - does that sound fair?

Thanks for persevering

Hello there mate,

Any interest in p/xing this against my FZS 1000? HAve always loved the red ones!


Re: 2003 FZS600 Fazer For Sale - bikeownerus - 25-05-13

Hi,


The objective is to clear some garage space - so I'd say chances are no - unless it's completely unmissable?? What are details and why are you trading down?

Hi Dougi,

Nice bike, where abouts is it located?

Re: 2003 FZS600 Fazer For Sale - bikeownerus - 09-06-13

Hi Mick,


Thanks - it is a good bike! I am in mid-Bedfordshire - just off the A6 between Bedford and Luton.

blast it!

Really like the red ones, but its a bit of a trek from Glasgow. Good luck with the sale anyway matey Smile


Re: 2003 FZS600 Fazer For Sale - Digdug - 09-06-13

Looks nice and the price seems about right. If I hadn't just bought a silver foxeye I'd be interested myself Wink Good luck selling her, I have a soft spot for red 'uns cos my first one that got nicked was red...

Re: 2003 FZS600 Fazer For Sale - bikeownerus - 10-06-13

Thanks chaps. Hopefully it represents a good genuine buy - some interest to date - happy to chat at length to anyone about my bike!!

Are the wheels faded or is that dirt?


Re: 2003 FZS600 Fazer For Sale - bikeownerus - 13-06-13

I don't think they're faded at all - I'm not aware of them looking any different really during my ownership. However, the back wheel has tended to get coated in spray from the chain lube and I'm minded to leave that there as it forms an excellent protective coat which can be removed as necessary!
