It's well known that the Mk1 FZS1000 was over-priced when released and Yamaha claimed that they simply could not sell it any cheaper. Yeah right! When I was looking for my bike, which is an '05 model I purchased in 2006, the alternatives were either a Bandit 12 or 900 Hornet - neither of which I considered for very longas the Fazer is much better than both. The small extra premuim I paid on a used bike to get a Fazer was well worth it and I still have the bike today.
