New member looking for an early Fazer 1000

[fazermike]

Hello,


I owned a fazer 600 several years ago and I now have been thinking about buying an early Fazer1000 


I have always liked the look of them and the awesome R1 derived engine!


Are there any major problems with these bikes? I have heard that the finish can be a bit suspect and the exup valve can cause problems?


I'm only looking for models from their introduction in 2001? up to the FZ1 model can you tell me about any differences and mods between the models?


Thanks guys!
