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.
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.
