Doing up an old bike - is it economical
#1
Before i get carried away spending money on my fazer i just thought id check your opinions on something - is it more economical doing up an old bike or buying a newer one?, ie if i spend a couple o grand getting brakes, suspension,exhaust etc on top of the 2 grand i paid for it, will it be a much better bike than if i just got a 4 grand bike in the first place?,


I love my fazer,its more than ill ever need and i cant see me wanting rid but whats the limiting factor, seems like parts are easy to come by but how longs the frame likely to last though under mostly dry conditions and stored in the shed?,are there any gadgets/devices/gizmos lurking under the bodywork that if they go wrong start to be uneconomic to replace?


Perhaps being the fazer club the answers may be biased but maybe some of yous have got some other proper old bikes as a reference.cheers!
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
