Hi all,
I'm back on a Gen 1 600 Fazer 10 years after owning my first (a gold gen1 600 which I absolutely loved).
I've had numerous bikes including (a Yamaha YB100, Kawasaki ER-5, Yamaha RD 250, Honda XR-250, Honda CBR 600F, Triumph Daytona 955i, Aprilia RS 125, Ducati Monster M750) but I think the Fazer is the bike I've probably missed most.
A month into ownership of this one I can remember what all the fuss was about first time around - quick, comfortable, and so forgiving. I only bought it as a commuter really, but found myself having a hoot on Sunday doing 200 miles to Kirby Lonsdale, Hawes, & Leyburn.
I'm well pleased with my bike which although not a minter by any means I got as a bit of a bargain. New tyres, a better sounding exhaust, and a radiator guard are on my shopping list.
Really like the site by the way, loads of good info and knowledgeable people on here.
Alex
