Absolutely agree on that! Do not judge a used bike test-ride on worn tyres! I thought the Fazer Thou felt dull and lazy in the turn until I put a new set of tyres on it and WOW!! It's a brilliant bike in terms of handling, comfort and power. I've had 40 bikes and no bike is perfect, but the FZS1000 isn't far off it.
