Finally took the plunge and changed my FZS600 for a fazer8 last week. Facing another major service and a new set of tyres made my mind up. Had tried the terrible diversion F. Found a mint Fazer8 in white at a local trusted dealers back room for £5999 (gold rims - bling). Have to say first impression of the new bike is how friendly it is to a newer rider (only four years) quite docile in traffic. You don't feel that its another 25kgs on the FZS600. I ride 365 (except snow) and needed something that was safe in bad weather for my commute.
Kick down to third on overtake and 40 - 100 is much faster than the FZS. One of the things that attracted me was that you don't see many of them around. Caught a rat-bike rider admiring it on return to a carpark this week as well lol.
The only downside seems to be tank size but pass four petrol stations on the way to work.
