Yeah I had to dig deep onto a remote drive to find that photo, it was a good few years ago my kids were at a young teenagers group and they had a contest/party where they had to dress up as a celebrity and Dame Edna Everage was the judge, namely yours faithfully.
Phew I think I just got away with that, my true colours have not come out LOL! :eek :kiss :moon

Some images just cant be unseen. :lol At least on THAT night out, you were feeling quite conservative, concerning the length of your dress (not a short skirt).
Those that did respond to this Poll (so far), demonstrates the Fazer appears more desirable to the "upper" end of the Age scale. I imagine choosing the Fazer for its conventional styling, proven reliability (with "intermediate" performance - not blistering yet no slouch), plus easy to work on design.
Perhaps its also the "naked" thing, with the younger generation preferring the sleek brightly coloured fully faired, sports machines, over having everything visible and on display.
Was expecting a much wider spread, however the law of averages indicates the trend already displayed, will be the overall outcome.
65 now, 66 in May, had many over the years ranging from XS750 triple, CBR100, Hayabusa etc etc, got a Suzuki SZ on a whim, horrible thing, had a TDM 900 for a while, got a Bandit 600 as thought it would be lighter but lads i go out with step on a bit and Bandit was wringing its neck every time i went out, enter the Fazer 1000, had a test ride on one a long time ago and was impressed, now got a low miles 2004, dropped one tooth on front sprocket and happy days, now goes like a stabbed rat  well comfy, had my seat redone by Tony Archer, no back pain, no numb bum, now have a little smile at all mature sportbike riders, having a stretch at every red light cos back is breaking, flapping hands at every opportunity to relieve cramps etc etc, this one's a keeper an as long as I can get on it will be riding it

It's one of those Polls you'd find on most "Auto" forums. Offers an interesting insight regarding ownership, plus the potential for decent banter.
Suspicious... much?  [size=1em]There's no hidden agenda, its anonymous, I don't work for an insurance company, or a "mole" from some other Bike forum, I also haven't been beamed down from outer space, to learn more about humanity! It's.... just a bit of fun![/size]:pokefun

Thinking of getting a Fazer 1000 in the future

Maybe also influenced by the absence of electronic wingdings (traction control/launch control/anti wheelie/riding modes etc etc etc), and that you have a half decent chance of keeping it on the road yourself without the use of a laptop/diagnostic software etc etc etc

I got my foxeye in 2010 when I got my divorce & money from sale of house, all I knew was I wanted to get back on 2 wheels after a break of 12 years, a mate of mine suggested I bought the bike of her boyfriends dad as he was retiring from riding at 75, so without seeing the bike paid £1500 for an 02 600 & rode it back from Kent to Portsmouth.
Loved it straight away although I found it hard work on longer runs/rallies with bike club.
it developed a problem where would rev freely but in gear wouldn't get above 60mph. after deep investigation my mechanic could resolve the problem. so I bought CBF1000.
love this bike too but as I am about to come into some money am looking at swapping to Triumph night storm in april
It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!
I'm 62 got my fz1 gen 2 because (being honest here) I don't fit GSXRs AND R1s as theres no room for my guts and the fuel tank. Tried XJR1300sp for a couple of years but to heavy and not the quickest handling bike then saw the FZ1 tried it, it's the closest thing to a naked sports bike I can find on offer quick, handles well, light, comfortable and my guts fit nicely some complain they lack a bit of ground clearance but both tyres on mine are worn right to the outer edge.
39 here, only had my full bike license for 6 months. Never too old to follow your dreams.
