After owning the 600 for a month decided it is too small for me , so going back to FJ1200, it's been fun , but it's just not right for me , going to make a loss on it coz I think I paid top money for it :\ at least FJs are cheap........
Thats a shame mate i love my 600 throw the f*cker around every were, have u got a link to the bike u might get some interest.....
Damn those racetecs grip like glue
Fazer now sold for £750, FJ1200 now purchased, took a loss of £450 :'(
Hmmmmmm, FJ12 is a big bike yes but touring with luggage aside the Fazer is better, crisper, better handling, more involving, better braking etc. True the torque isn't there but the rest makes up for it. Can load it with luggage, although luggage spoils a bike big time. Maybe you didn't give it enough time. I had a 3CV for 3 years prior to the Bird so know what it's like, great bike.
