This is EXACTLY what I'm saying... Original condition Fazers are almost (but not quite yet) becoming "cult bikes". It maybe because many have hankered after one but not-so-many actually went out and bought one and rode it. Probably because they were too fat, too poor, too scared or too hen-pecked to actually do it.
In "Japanese-bike" terms I doubt they'll ever become proper cult bikes like the Z1, CB750F,RD350, KH250 or FS1E but they are in the 2nd league.
Time will tell.
