hey yoooouuu guys - wutangbuzz - 17-03-14
Hey new to the group. Just had my first few days out on the bike after finally getting round to passing my test in November. Unexpectedly got myself a mint 2003 fzs600 having never considered one before. Was planning on a cheap bandit as a first bike but didn't like the feel of it when I tried it. Think I made the right choice...I'm hooked! Planning on a few days away this summer with the camping gear and as many trips out as I can fit in in between. What are the fazers like for short tours? I'm a bit green to road riding having only really bombed my crossers round in the woods in the past.

Many guys on here have used their fazers for both short and long tours around Europe etc, so you won't have too much trouble
Welcome to the forum, where abouts in this fine kingdom do you hail from?

Welcome & good choice of bike-in a totally different league to Bandits!
Touring noproblem-good tank range. See youve got a Renntec rear rack-can always strap soft bag to that and maybe use a tank bag. OR buy & fit Givi rack & Monolock box which is my preference. Enjoy!

imI'm just outside Grimsby. I agree it's a totally different beast to a bandit, much smoother and more nimble (even with me on it) definitely think I made the right choice. Was surprised how many people stop and look at it when it's parked up. Hopefully I'll be putting a lot more miles on it this summer.

Oh yeah that's my mums garage in the pic. Can't fit it in mine cos it's full of junk, I'm not a clean garage kinda guy!
