Fazer 1000 Gen 1 for sale 3000 miles Immaculate - SkidT - 27-11-16
Greetings All,
First of all this bike is nothing at all to do with me. Whilst the dealer may be geographically near me in Reading, I have no idea where (at the moment).
I just thought that all you fellow Gen1 owners / enthusiasts might enjoy having a look at it. Surely this must be the best low mileage Gen1 available anywhere?
Please let us all know if one of you buys it. Enjoy!

It may be just me but I always get suspicious when a 12 / 13 year old bike has only 3000 miles on it. A bike is meant to be ridden so ride it !!
The way I look at it, either it hasn't been ridden or it's been clocked. Either way is not good.

Lot of cash for a gen 1.....just had a look at thier website...all bikes purchased have a £39 admin fee :eek :eek :eek
Re: Fazer 1000 Gen 1 for sale 3000 miles Immaculate - SkidT - 27-11-16
I only had a quick look at their website but of the bikes that I looked at, they seemed to be in excellent condition, albeit a touch on the expensive side.

I bought my Bandit from that dealer - good stock and a main dealer for Enfield if I remember. Had no issues with him.
The Gen1 though will need some new rubber if it is genuine mileage so a good haggle point.

blimey. how the hell do you have that little beauty sitting in your garage for nearly thirteen years and hardly use it...
Re: Fazer 1000 Gen 1 for sale 3000 miles Immaculate - Frosties - 27-11-16
Think I'd still prefer something like this for half the money

yeah i gotta agree. theres a nice un on there just sold with an r1 front end and other bits and pieces too..after that last vfr i had, which had been unused for a lot of years, im thinking it doesnt particularly do them a lot of good not to get used. seals o rings shrink etc, let alone the problems modern shite hygroscopic fuel gives.

I hope you're not suggesting that I need to get out more on my Gen1?
I'll have you know, I've done nearly 2500 miles in four years! :eek

am I right in thinking that a Gen 1 has a silver engine and the Gen 2 has black......is it that simple in distinguishing between the two?
Re: Fazer 1000 Gen 1 for sale 3000 miles Immaculate - old son - 29-11-16
No, Gen 2 is a completely different bike. Frames, fairing, lights etc. all different.

Later gen1 ( FZS1000 )can have a black engine, most of the earlier ones seem to have a silver engine.
Gen2 ( FZ1s ) can have a black or silver engine.
Gen1 is carbs, gen2 is fuel injection.
And what old son posted.
Re: Fazer 1000 Gen 1 for sale 3000 miles Immaculate - maddog04 - 29-11-16
sorry old son.......realise that but was asking in the most simple terms if you just looked at a bike and one had a silver engine.....would that be a gen 1 or did the gen 1 come with silver and black engines

doh....cheers Slappy, you answered while I was typing :rolleyes

Does look nice but way too expensive, I bought a mint 05 Gen 1 last year 4,500 miles with £2,000 worth of upgrades including Ohlins, Akrapovic, colour coded hugger and belly pan etc from On Yer Bike for £3,500.00. Dave.

The very same dealer who when asked if he would accept a (genuine and in person at the premises) offer by my colleague (who really is a gent with impeccable manners 60+yrs) responded simply by saying F**k Off. Not the nicest of people I would think.
Avoid like the plague IMHO :eek

Is the blue colour right, or is it the colour rendition in the photo?

I reckon the colour is correct as the blue "darkened" towards the end of the model run, moving away from what I've always called "Yamaha blue", which I think was the best colour, although not necessarily the fastest. :lol

Which dealer are you talking about Timbo? On Yer Bike? Or the one where this Fazer is advertised at? Just for clarity.......
