I used to have a 1999 Fazer 600. I kept it for about 5 years till the dreaded front sprocket issue popped up. If I had of known that was an issue I'd have already checked it, stud locked it etc. Anyway welded on a new sprocket and traded it in for a new bike, 2004 Fazer thou.
So that's one way you could go. If you like the old Fazer600 you'll love the Gen1 Fazer thou. Watch out for stuck EXUP valves though.
One reason I'd like another bike in my garage, is well, my Fazer isn't exactly the prettiest bike in the world, and while it's a fantastic bike, it doesn't exactly have spades of character. An older bike with looks and/or plenty of character to keep for Sunny Sundays is what I have in mind.
I love the idea of making a special but I've got too many other interests already.
Blogs like BIKE EXIF and Return of the Cafe Racers feature some cracking specials. Some of em are lots of dosh, others look fairly affordable.
