Yes, we know - we've known for a long time - nice to see confirmation of what we know already though:

I regard the old fazer 600 the best one even now. I have had an 08 one I sold it and bought the 2003 foxeye. Fantastic bike

Re: Good Winter Hacks - red98 - 20-11-13

Bugger, just sold my last Fazer 600 and bought a TDM850 which is second. Hopefully trading in the TDM for, you guessed it, a Bandit which is in third! :'(

I'm so sorry , but it had to said.
At least you still have the mighty thou, and won't personally add to the 600 death rate!

Re: Good Winter Hacks - stevierst - 20-11-13

Yeah,took the fz1 out on sat, first outing for a few weeks. Fell in love with the bugger all over again! The tdm is just my work donkey.

Oil and filter changed yesterday on my 99 Fazer, then took it for a blast. Arrived at the Ace with a huge smile. Glad I chose a Fazer! Big Grin

I'm not sure I like what they're saying here, by 'winter hack' do they mean that a Fazer is the best bike you wouldn't give a shit about if you got it salted up and rotten or stacked it on the ice? Sad

I was considering putting my Fazer away soon and buying my mate's £300 GS500 hammerite special!

You buy one thinking it's a one night stand (one season ride), and end up marrying the bitch! :b

Or in the case of the GS a dirty scutter you pass onto a mate when you get bored. Wink

Times of austerity, ain't nothing wrong with sloppy seconds :b

Re: Good Winter Hacks - JZS 600 - 27-11-13

Winter hack? It's my pride and joy!

Re: Good Winter Hacks - nick crisp - 27-11-13

:rolleyes You guys should take this as a compliment. A good winter hack needs to be reliable, durable, comfortable etc, etc. More pluses in the 600s repertoire.
