Agree with everything said so far. As a road bike, it's without peer.
I'm halfway to buying a ZZR1400 at the moment (too much is never enough) but I can't help come back to the fact that the Fazer is the most practical bike for 95% of the riding I do. Which is why I've had the same bike for the last 8 years. Damnit, why didn't Yamaha just update the handling of the Gen 1 rather than botch the job with a titchy tank, rock hard seat and uninspiring engine. Roll on the Crossplane Fazer.
In the meantime, I rather suspect it's ZZR1400 and bar risers for me. And no, I'm not selling the Fazer, just in case.
