WANTED, NOW FOUND - FZS1000

[nickodemon]

Not a bad price, but when you include transportation it's getting expensive.

cheers for that forfocsake, ive my eye on another one at the moment which has the black engine (which I prefer). if I dont get any joy with that I may start looking over the water in N.I for one as well

[forfocsake]

Not a problem, good luck with the search 

[taffytoon]

I forgot that when i was looking for one a few weeks back 'sadlonelygit' offered me his for £2300. I would have bought it, but i wanted one for less, as it was purely a work bike. His one has r1 front end 29'000 miles and is in good nick. If you are looking for a company to transport your bike i have a cracking company i used that charges £120 for anywhere in UK. Here is post he sent me http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,11778...#msg129324

The courier you used was very good

Yes, I do like the grey ones. The black engines are nicer too - just needs a damn good clean now

200 mile ride on your first outing ! How did it compare to the Foxeye - apart from faster that is ? Glad you got sorted so quickly.

[mickvp]

For me it's very similar. I was expecting it to feel very heavy and UN-chuckable in comparison, but it really isn't. A smidgen taller (maybe about an inch?) But there's not a massive difference between them. The thou is just sweeter to ride, much smoother, more torquey and obviously quicker.

Because of the extra torque, you don't need to work the box so much for overtaking etc, which was my main gripe with the 600 - so it's been a very wise move for me.

Not so wise was the 200 mile ride out - feeling it in my bones a bit now :lol

[noggythenog]

Hey Mick, real chuffed you got another bike & interesting to hear your thoughts on the thou about it's agility.


Agility is important regarding the thous.


Look forward to seeing some pics.




Shame you had to freeze yur nips off though......also a shame you didnt take advantage of the foc-u thou owners clothing catologue 2014 version.....quite competitively priced for the more urine smelling gents...nice range of ageless colours......combined with a wee flask o chicken soup & the take a break magazine where you can win a thou if you play your cards right :b :b :b




Happy easter!
