Finally got one! - AlexFZS - 07-10-14
Hi all,
I posted early last year about having a Thundercat and wanting to swap for a Fazer well I've finally got round to actually getting one. After suffering my 4 hours a day commute for the last 2 weeks (its only supposed to be 45 mins each way) I finally cracked went out and bought this little beauty. I honestly don't know why I didn't get one sooner its the epitome of a great road bike.

Well done :thumbup . Looks a really nice bike with some useful and some tasteful mods. Must have had a caring owner.

I wasnt referring to cc's though...just that slow Blue colour......plus i see this beast has some red in it so that more than makes up as everybody knows that red is the fastest.......very nice indeed 8)

No. the red bits hold the black bits back. Black is the fastest colour. So fast in fact that they refuse to admit it is even a colour!!!!
Nice FZS though and you will find that it is practically as quick (if not quicker ) on the road than the Fireblade.

Must admit I find the fazer far less effort on the road, especially on the potholed country lanes where I've just moved to. Currently doing a 100 mile a day in the pissing rain and it really is quite effortless on the fazer ... such a brilliant bike.

With you on this one. 8)
I remember the (sadly failed) attempt at swapping bikes. Mine was the superior black - you missed out! Unfortunately, it was so fast it ended up under a Merc and a Mitsubishi. Oops. :o
