Yep, have had a blue one bought from Robinsons Rochdale 30th October 2012. Couldn't ride it for a month frustratingly, as I had a chest infection and was too wobbly, made up for it since now almost done 2,000 miles, got through the pain barrier of running it in.
[/size][/color]Bearing in mind I have enjoyed 2 x 5PW R1's over the last 10 years along with a Gen 1 Fazer 1000, I am impressed! Briefly owned a Gen 2 Fazer 1000 which I hated as it was so thirsty and had a small tank range as a result. Shed no tears when it destroyed itself on M20 which allowed me to buy Fazer 8.
[/size][/color]Once I got used to the gearing and learn't to trust the tyres absolutely love it. Came with Acropovic and I had fitted R&G hugger, crash bungs and fender extender, having heated grips on today just in time as Friday & yesterday was chilly! Also has a dual feed Scottoiler, essential with the mileage I do.
[/size][/color]In a way bit like the R6 quite buzzy and learning to change up before the limiter cuts in, rarely had the problem on the R1 lol
[/size][/color]Lighter than the Gen 1 Fazer, which is the only reason I sold it, as at 5'6" and 9 stone struggled occasionally, especially getting it upright off side stand if camber was a bit steep. Couldn't consider trying to put it on centre stand, Fazer 8 doesn't have one, though this can be fitted.
[/size][/color]Really enjoying the bike and can't wait for better weather so I don't have to be Michelin lady.
[/size][/color]Hope this helps Smile :lol
Age is a question of mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter!
If I had a brain I would be dangerous
