Just like to say hello

Hi all

Never thought i would be joining a Fazer forum. But i had a bit of bad luck last Sunday and came off my bike.

I had a Honda VFR1200F which i got new in 2012. when buying it, I was going to keep it for good. But on Sunday i was out and i got took out by a crosswind and the bike ended up in a ream totally under water.  The insurance have written it off, so i am now just waiting to sort it all out. I never of thought i would be so upset and gutted at the loss of a bike. i did look after this one, it was mint and had never seen rain in the 5000 miles i did on it.

I've had a good talk with the wife and after looking at all the pro's and con's,  i would not be getting another vfr12. So we went out and i have replaced it with a Fazer 8 in black. I have now just got to wait for the insurance to sort out so i can put the Fazer on the policy. Wife has a XJ6F in black so she is happy i went with the Fazer 8.  On the down side i'm not over the moon at buying another bike because of how i lost my vfr12. But i'm sure i will grow to love it just as much.  So i am looking forward to getting to know you all on here. so get ready for lots and lots of question.

Kind Regards
Martin

Hello there,the VFR may be a hard act to follow but you will soon love your Fazer and enjoy your riding more than ever

Welcome and hope you enjoy the Fazer 8. Any particular reason you opted for the 8 rather than the FZ1(thou)?

I moved from a VFR750 ,the last model, it was a bit different but it was good,,i loved the Fz1s from day one, i think i am adaptable on bikes and have not really fell out with one.


Thr fazer just gets you up in a seeing position,,different at first but nice when its grown on you.
