keep thinking of buying a new bike but made that mistake buying the tracer which went after 6 months so im thinking maybe spend a few quid on the fazer instead.what year r1 do you need for the folks?and what eles could you do to improve the old girl?

I've already done most of those mods to my fazer apart from the R1 front end.the tracer was great very light and great fun to ride but I found the seating position was too upright and was killing my cox's bone after an hour and a bit down on power.
